The Dillards - Nobody Knows/Hey Boys/Hard Times (Playboy After Dark, 1970) video free download
Live performance by the Darlin' Boys on this classic, syndicated music show... Captured this awhile back after seeing it on Herb Pedersen's Facebook. You know how it is, sometimes you stumble upon these things and they disappear and you never see them again, so you gotta grab 'em fast. If you're the one who made this clip available originally, thanks!
Here, they perform "Nobody Knows" and "Hey Boys" (both from the Wheatstraw Suite album) and "Hard Times".
This performance originally aired on May 26, 1970. Note Rodney's Ovation guitar and Mitch's beard - two trademarks of the '70s Dillards.

I absolutely love the Dillards. Saw them in Burlington, Iowa in 1979. Best live band ever. But the best part of this video is Hefner's interview. Have you ever seen anything more painful in your life. Rodney's joke goes right over his head and the alleged master of Hip come across as clueless. Wonderful video, thanks so much for posting.10 years ago

I saw the Dillards in Pasadena, Cal. in the 60's & he'd be smoking the pipe while they performed & every once in a while he'd just put the pipe in his back pocket while it was still lit!! Didn't miss a beat! The internet made it possible for folks like us who enjoy other than just mainstream music to enjoy our fav's easier.10 years ago

Awesome - thanks! I've been dying to see this clip, but unfortunately the Dillards were not included in the Playboy After Dark DVD release. Wheatstraw Suite and Copperfields are two of the best albums of the late '60s.Related Videos
