1966 Caravan of Stars - Winter Tour

The Winter Tour of 1966 featured the Yardbirds at a crucial period of their career.  Jimmy Page had just joined on bass and Jeff Beck was just about to jump out of the group.  Added to Caravan veterans Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Brian Hyland and Sam the Sham, it was an interesting mix of music and perhaps the last great Caravan of Stars tour.

1965 Caravan of Stars - Fall Tour

Peter and Gordon once again headline this Caravan unit, toruing for five weeks in August and September.  Dick Clark had signed British talent Tom Jones and Van Morrison's Them for this unit but Them cancelled out at the last minute.  Instead, he turned to CAlifornia folk-rock group the Turtles to replace them.  The Turtles didn't join the Caravan until it had been on the road for a couple of weeks.
