The Seattle Center Coliseum was the center of attraction for about 4,000 energetic teen-agers last Saturday night as Pat O’Day and Associates presented another frolicking, rollicking rock ’n roll show.

Headlining the show were England’s pert young rascals, the one and only Herman’s Hermits. Clad in their usual garb of off-beat shirts and trousers they presented 30 minutes of melody featuring many of their old standard hits, such as, “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” “Henry the Eighth” and “Kind of a Hush.” Little Herman seemed all smiles as he urged the audience to clap along and join in with him on the almost too familiar choruses. Prior to that they had very successfully belted out “With a Little Help From My Friends” from the Beatles’ new album.

Also creating a big sensation stealing a large part of the limelight from the H. H. were The Who, fresh from their knockdown, drag-out performance at the Monterey Pops Festival.

If you’re a fan of psychedelic-type stuff these are the guys to see.

Starting off with a modern revival of an old rock standard, “Summertime Blues” and drabbed in hippy-type costumes, they went on to display their talents in several harmonized tunes including “Happy Jack,” their latest hit. But the part that really blew everyone’s mind was a ten-minute arrangement called “My Generation,” featuring dissonant chords and an electrifying climax in which a smoke bomb was let off and drums, guitars and cymbals were smashed to the floor of the revolving stage. The only thing that seemed to be missing was the light show that usually accompanies such “revelry.”

The Springfield Rifles (often confused with THE Buffalod Springfield, yet having an entirely different style) put on a good show with their fast-moving song, “It Ain’t Happened” and other popular tunes. Likewise. The City Zu, the New Yorkers and “Harpo” Jim Valley also did good jobs making the price of the ticket well worth it.

Squaring off a well-rounded list of entertainers were the flower-throwing Blues Magoos doing among such stereotyped songs as “Gloria,” their latest amusing number, “Take My Love and Shove It Up Your Heart.”

Coming next to the Seattle Coliseum will be the ever popular Monkees on Aug. 26.
