1967 rare footage of the short-lived rock band "Livingstones' Journey" performing on stage, Toronto, Ont No sound
Please forgive me. I should have made it clear there was no sound. This was amateur footage captured by well experienced enthusiast. Sound 16mm cameras in the day were quite expensive, out of reach for most other than film makers and pro freelance shooters.
This short-lived, albeit important, Toronto rock band evolved out of The Tripp in late May 1967 and was briefly known as Livingstone’s Tripp. In July the musicians modified the name to Livingstone’s Journey.
The band:
Jimmy Livingston (Vocals)
Stan Endersby (Guitar, vocals)
Ed Roth (Keyboards)
Dennis Pendrith (Bass, vocals)
Bob Ablack (Drums)
Jimmy Livingston, Stan Endersby, Ed Roth and Bob Ablack had all earlier been in The Just Us. Livingston had also briefly co-fronted The Mynah Birds in 1965 with Ricky James Matthews (aka Rick James).
The Livingston-led line up entertained fans at Toronto’s Esplanade (a plaza on the ground floor of the Richmond-Adelaide Centre) during mid-August 1967 and played at Ottawa’s Mall and Parliament Hill (the latter at a ‘smoke-in’ in support of pot legislation). Sometime in October, Ted Sherrill came in on drums from The Vendettas (Keith McKie of Kensington Market fame’s old band) and former The Imperials frontman Bobby Kris (real name Bob Burrows) was drafted in to replace Livingston.
The new line-up lasted only a few months and in the spring of 1968 the group played its final date at Toronto’s Night Owl (which was recorded live but never released).

Jim Livingston(e). One of the saddest, brilliant singers of the time.

The young lady wasn’t dancing. That was a cry for help.

He seemed to be focused on the dancer. She looked like a cat who just finished using the litter box.

Please forgive me and thank you for pointing that out. I should have made it clear there was no sound. This was amateur footage captured by well experienced enthusiast from Vancouver. Sound 16mm cameras in the day were quite expensive, out of reach for most other than film makers and pro freelance shooters. I'm still researching the back story to to this amazing photographer from BC, who just happens to come across this performance and cover it like a pro is mind-boggling. His other work is just as compelling. I've updated the title and info. It was never my intention to infer otherwise. Cheers! Francois
