Subject: DC5 miming in concert

I read this on another oldies music board:

Something that's been knawing at my mind for a few years and maybe someone can confirm or deny it. I saw the Dave Clark 5 in Memphis in '64 (best I remember, the ticket stub is here somewhere). The opening act was a local garage band called Randy & The Radiants whose drummer I went to school with. It was my first concert and was great but years later the drummer's brother, who I worked with, told me that the DC5 had mimed the show and Dave Clark used paper drum sticks. It had to do with the echo they used that at the time they couldn't reproduce on stage. The drummer went on to play with Jimmy Buffet & The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band before an untimely death at a young age. Can anyone shed any light on this being true. I hate to say my friend didn't know the truth since it was pretty first hand with no reason to lie. thanks

RESPONSE:
do you mean paper drum skins rather than drum sticks? There are many stories of Clark miming while in concert although no one has ever stood up and openly said they were there and saw it.


RESPONSE:
According to the story from the Radiant's drummer he used the paper inserts that go across the bottom of a coathangar. The brother that told me this story is not one to create nor embellish a story so I can't help but put lots of credibility to it.
