Review of Happy Together Tour, Keswick Theatre, July 20, 2010

Shared this on Facebook, and wanted to post it here as well. Thought our friends would enjoy one of the many great reviews from the Happy Together Tour. Carl Review from Examiner.com , from Keswick Theatre, show: Twenty-five years ago, the “Happy Together” tour brought together some of the signature artists from the 1960s pop/rock sound to help celebrate the music’s influence and longevity. Now the tour is back for its 25th anniversary, and it brought a lot of fun and excitement to the Keswick Theatre last night, July 20th. Everyone in the room, on stage or in the audience, young and old, felt the 60s experience wash over them when the show began. As I entered the sold out show, I saw a lot of fans wearing various band T-shirts and discussing the music they grew up with.

Happy Together Tour 25th Anniversary Part 1

The First leg of The Happy Together Tour 25th anniversary just ended, and I must say it went by quickly. Nick and I are very proud to be a part of it, once again being reunited with The Turtles Mark and Howard, man those guys are funny! and Rob Grill of The Grass Roots. As you know the one and only Micky Dolenz and the talented Mark Lindsay also joined us on the tour. They are both good people and very talented entertainers, it was a pleasure to get to know them better. Every one of them brings something special to the show. I had the opportunity to sit back and watch the performance one night, and they are all so incredibly talented and entertaining. I want to mention our fantastic band, Godfrey Townsend, Steve Murphy, Manny Focarazzo and John Montagna, we are fortunate to have such gifted musicians playing with us, they add tremendous authenticity to the entire show. Kudos to our tour/production manager, Ron Hausfeld, who runs a tight ship and keeps the entire tour running smoothly.

Full story link at: http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=354017 Herman's Hermits, Buckinghams set to salute the '60s By Gregory Harutunian | Daily Herald Correspondent The Buckinghams still draw fans to hear "Kind of a Drag" and other hits from the '60s. Peter Noone says Herman's Hermits will tailor its Waukegan show to the audience. Published: 1/28/2010 12:01 AM Sparked by Beatlemania, 1964 marked the start of the "British Invasion" on the American music scene, and prompted the formation of many stateside bands to meet the challenge. Prime examples of that period hit Waukegan's Genesee Theatre stage at 8 p.m. Friday for a "Salute to the '60s." The lineup includes British band Herman's Hermits with Peter Noone, The Grass Roots with Rob Gill, and The Buckinghams with Carl Giammarese and Nick Fortunato. Far from being classed as no
