Dick Clark Interviews The Beatles - American Bandstand 1967

[@torchkit]

Dick was plugging next weeks show as an appearance by the Beatles. It was actually just showing 2 promo videos. The Beatles never appeared in person on Bandstand.

[@kookoothebirdgirl1]

Right? I almost did a KZbin search, thinking “how did I miss that?”

[@jennifersman7990]

Dick Clark said that after hearing their first records he didn’t think there was anything special about them even after being offered a tv performance from them. It was after seeing them on Ed Sullivan he realized that passing on the Beatles was one of his biggest blunders. Clark made up for it by cutting a deal with Brian Epstein where he’d get a weekly segment promoting new bands he was managing so a lot of British Invasion bands got exposure on Bandstand

[@thehighllama8101]

@@jennifersman7990 It's interesting how the Beatles were perceived in America, prior to 1964. I remember reading that when 'She Loves You' was released in America, in September of 1963, a DJ here played the song five nights in a row, trying to get a reaction from his audience (I assume that audience was made predominatly of teenagers and people in their early 20s). But his audience didn't think much of the song at all. And, in late 1963, when Jack Paar played a clip of the Beatles playing 'She Loves You, Paar's audience found it amusing (but certainly wasn't blown away or impressed).

[@notvalidcharacters]

Yeah this is completely fake. If it were real they wouldn't do all those cuts since they wouldn't need to. It used to be common for promoters to send out records of some artist answering specific questions, just the answers, and then the radio station would get a script saying what to read for the question, then have the record cued up and just fire it. That's what Clark's doing here. Fake interview.

This (famous folk recording answers to questions and presenters pretending to interview them whilst the recording is played back) was very common back then. It was win-win in that the performer got publicity and the interviewer got to seem important because they were associated with stars.

In this interview, which he admits is already four years old, he still doesn't know which one is which. He mixes up George and Ringo. And his little teenybopper audience didn't appreciate "Penny Lane" and (especially) "Strawberry Fields Forever" at all.
