Archaic and I were talking (probably inappropriately) about attending concerts on another thread and it brought to mind Dick Clark and the touring show that he used to mount every year in the early to mid '60s.
It was great. It used to hit Toronto just about the time that school let out for the summer and every kid I knew went to it. Clark would line up about a dozen musical acts that had hit records over the winter and send them out with a remarkably large (12 or 15 piece) backing band. I used to go every year, and the ticket price couldn't have been more than a couple of dollars, because I couldn't have afforded much more.
Did anyone else ever go to the Caravan?
