===Sam & Dave's live performances===
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2025}}
In March 1967, Sam & Dave were co-headliners for the Stax/Volt Revue in Europe, which included [[Booker T & the MGs]], [[The Mar-Keys]], [[Eddie Floyd]], [[Carla Thomas]], [[Arthur Conley]] and headliner [[Otis Redding]]. It was the duo's first trip to Europe. Although Redding headlined the tour, many agreed Sam & Dave stole the show on many nights. A live version of "Soothe Me" from Sam & Dave's ''Double Dynamite'' LP was recorded in Paris during the 1967 tour. Released as a single in mid-1967, it continued Sam & Dave's string of top 20 U.S. R&B hits and was their first in the UK Top 40.

After the tour, Sam & Dave worked as headliners in the U.S. and in Europe during Fall 1967, Fall 1968 and January 1970, and in Japan in 1969 and 1970. They averaged 280 shows per year from 1967 through 1969 and in 1967, they only took ten days off. Other high points included headlining the [[Expo 67|Montreal World's Fair]] in 1967, performing at the tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. at Madison Square Garden in June 1968, being the first black soul act to headline the [[Fillmore East]] in December 1968,{{citation needed|date=January 2025}} and headlining the [[Texas International Pop Festival]] for two nights in August 1969. Sam & Dave also performed on U.S. and European television, including two appearances on ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'' in 1969, appearing on [[The Tonight Show]] and [[American Bandstand]] in 1967, and performing on ''[[The Mike Douglas Show]]'' in 1969 and 1970.
