1967 "Where the Action Is" Tour - Spring Edition

 
 
 
The final "Where the Action Is" tour is booked for the spring of 1967 with a hot new artist as the headliner, Neil Diamond.  Clark also signed P.J. Proby, along with tour regulars, Tommy Roe and Keith.  This unit focused primarily . on the south for a very short run.  The ability for a package tour such as the Caravans to earn money had run its course.

  1. Wanted to let you know you have Paducah misspelled - 4/3/67 Lone Oak High School, Paduka, KY - should be "Paducah".
