60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
9/18/66 – Herman’s Hermits perform three songs on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” It would be their final appearance on the program.
From The Ed Sullivan YouTube Channel:
Herman’s Hermits returned to The Ed Sullivan Show one last time on
September 18, 1966. They took the stage with each member dressed in
different colored pinstripe suits. The suits worked perfectly with the
bright and colorful set, which looked like something straight out of
Swinging London. The band opened with their newest hit, “Dandy,” with an
upbeat Peter walking around the stage singing a few lines with each band
mate. Then the lights faded out for “L’Autre Jour,” which Noone sang in
French and English. Herman’s Hermits closed out their final Sullivan
show with “My Reservation’s Been Confirmed” before taking a bow to the
screams of their adoring fans.
Also on 9/18, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass perform for Prince Rainier and Princess Grace in Monaco
