Cliff Richard & the Shadows ((The Cliff Richard Show, 16.03.1961)

 A rare performance of Cliff playing lead guitar on The Shadows hit song "Apache" from his first own TV show "The Cliff Richard Show" (ATV) on the 16th of March 1961.

But on one occasion, Hank decided to hand over lead guitar duties to Cliff, proving that his occasional frontman was much more than just a pretty voice.The storming performance took place on March 16, 1961 on ATV's Cliff.The stage directors clearly had a bit of fun with the production, as it kicks off with the lights down low and Cliff wearing Hank Marvin-style specs, so you don't realise it's him.

Richard was originally marketed as a rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Presley and Little Richard.With his backing group, the Shadows, he dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950s to early 1960s.] His 1958 hit single "Move It" is often described as Britain's first authentic rock and roll song

Chicago (feat Terry Katz) - Live Tanglewood (1970)

Growing out of several bands from the Chicago area in the late 1960s, the original line-up consisted of Peter Cetera on bass, Terry Kath on guitar, Robert Lamm on keyboards, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone, Walter Parazaider on woodwinds, and Danny Seraphine on drums. Cetera, Kath, and Lamm shared lead vocal duties. The group initially called themselves the Big Thing, then changed to the Chicago Transit Authority in 1968, and finally shortened the name to Chicago in 1969
