When The Rascals' huge Pan Am jet landed in Honolulu's beautiful Hilo International Airport, Felix, Dino, Gene and Eddie were staggered by the fantastic reception awaiting them. Hawaii's top radio station K-poi had been announcing for days that the islands' faves - The Rascals, of course - were due there soon for a five-day series of concerts. No slackers - those Hawaiian fans - they turned out 2,000 strong to meet and greet The Young Rascals.

The boys, who have visited Hawaii twice previously, decided to extend their visit to seven days, so that when they concluded their work they could let loose and enjoy a little play. So c'mon along with Gene, Dino, Eddie and Felix and share their glorious Hawaiian interlude of work, play, fun and sun!

First stop for the Rascals is a press conference conducted by K-poi deejay Bob Lowrie - also known as "The Fifth Rascal"

Hey fellas! Don't You Think it's time we did a little rehearsing?

Comin' up - one rehearsal! Whadya want, Eddie - small, medium or large?

Right before the first of their five sell-out shows,
Gene, Felix, Dino And Eddie smile for 16's camera.
The Rascals' concerts drew the biggest crowds
in the entire history of the islands! The Byrds
were guest stars on the bill with them.

Eddie sings A Place In The Sun for his thousands of Hawaiian fans

Felix in one of his beautiful Eastern Indian shirts, plays his famous long organ solo on "Cute" (that will be featured on the boys' brand-new Atlantic LP)

Gene's specialty is I'm So Happy Now (you can hear it on the Rascals' new LP Groovin')

Dino poses prettily for a pic with Miss Hawaii - who is feeding him poi, an island delicacy

Hey adorable Dino, come out from behind those drums!
