From Merseybeat to Freakbeat: The Collapse of the 1960’s Beat Music Scene


In the early 1960s, Beat music exploded out of Liverpool with an infectious energy that captivated listeners around the world.

  • It seem to me that the searchers , billy j kramer , swinging blue jeans & gerry & the pacemakers who were from liverpool all kind of drifted away in 1966 the manchester bands like the hollies , hermans hermits , freddie & the dreamers , wayne fontana & the mindbenders had a short life too except for hollies who were able to adapt to the new challenges of pop music in the late 60s & the early 70s dave clark was called the tottenham sound but also had problems in the late 60s

  • These freewheeling vids are the most intelligent critique of 60s pop culture out there IMO.At 66 I,m old enough to remember the whole shebag (well through the soft focus of infancy) and know first hand the huge difference between the early/mid sixties and the late sixties.Different world/,music once the sixties lost its innocence and became self conceous.Still interesting for a while but dead on the dot on Dec 31st 1969

  • I certainly think the Beatles were the best band from Liverpool, but i cant explain why and what was different about them from other 1960 to 1963 Liverpool bands.

  • If the Beatles inspired bands could not evolve into psychedelic music, for the most part, they died. End of story.

  • WoW! Love this ????‍♀️ Look back at the way Life was. Freedom of expression rang true. Much thanks to the archivests that preserved the videos and recordings.

  • This is a long list of bands from back then, but what happened to the Stones, the Animals and Them, for example?

  • Beat music from the 60s is still the best in my book. Guitar driven sounds with strong melodies. Yes, and the bands had to be able to sing, harmonize and play their instruments.
