Herman's Hermits Tour Denver

Ok, so I wasn't at Woodstock or anything but in 1965 or spring of 1966 when Herman's Hermits toured the US I saw them. In fact, I got to be on the airplane that brought them to Denver. Dad was an airline pilot and received a corporate letter informing him that the band would be on his flight from Tulsa on such and such date. My parents let my sister and myself fly to Tulsa so we could be on the return flight with the famous band. My older sister wasn't so caught up in all the hoopla but went to chaperone me. I was thrilled when my seat on the plane was four rows behind Peter Noone. Being deathly shy, I summonsed the courage to ask them for an autograph. They complied with my meager request. The sparkle in my eye for them diminished when I saw them grafitti the airplane - marking up the window where they sat.

That night my friend and I went to the stadium to see the performance. They arrived late, played about five songs, and left. What a double whammy of a let down! It stays in my memory as the first and worst rock concert I ever attended.
