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.

1966 Caravan of Stars Tour - Summer Edition

 

Dick Clark returned to the Caravan of Stars format in late summer of 1966.  The  Where the Action Is cast was deep into filming the next season's worth of shows.  This particular tour has been difficult to document owing partially to the fact that there were no major talents in the line-up.

1966 "Where the Action Is" Summer Tour

Dick Clark gets the red-hot Young Rascals to headline this leg of the "Where the Action Is" tour.  The remainder of the bill was rather pedestrian as the Critters and Knickerbockers had been chart acts but B.J. Thomas and the Triumphs, Keith Allison and the Shades of Blue were steady live acts but nothing to write home about at this point.
