I saw Bocky & the Visions open for Billy J Kramer & the Dakotas in 1964 at the Euclid Beach Ballroom. They came out singing Spirit of '64 and waving small American flags and put on a hell of a show: finished with Bocky rolling on the floor singing Shout. Billy J Kramer didn't stand a chance, but the females in the audience were there to see the Brits and threw compacts at Bocky, scoring a few direct hits on the Visions. The Grasshoppers "Mod Sock" and the Motions were also on the bill.
To read the complete story of Bocky's unsolved murder see the link on the home page of www.josephneely.com. It's a good story.
