Comment

Shivaree was a 30-minute rock 'n' roll series hosted by LA disc jockey Gene Weed.

Many of the top recording artists of the mid-1960s appeared on Shivaree, including The Byrds, The Crystals, Marvin Gaye, The Kinks, Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, The Ronettes, Simon & Garfunkel, Sonny & Cher, The Supremes, and The Yardbirds.

The series was taped at ABC Television Center in Los Angeles. Most of the episodes used a multi-level set that resembled scafalding. These levels included elevated platforms for the dancers, balconies for some of the performers and audience members, and steps leading down to the main stage.

Shivaree premiered on January 23, 1965 as a local series on KABC, channel 7, the ABC network's Los Angeles affiliate. In April 1965, starting with episode #7, ABC put the series into national syndication. (Episodes 1 - 6 are believed to have only been shown on KABC-7.)
