The Buckinghams in Concert

From the March 10th online edition of the "Highland News", an excerpt of the review posted by Jules E. Beuck for The Buckinghams, Grass Roots, and Turtles in concert. "Opening the show was Chicago’s Buckinghams. Fronted by original members Carl Giammarese and bassist Nick Fortuna, The Buckinghams went through a set that had them perform many of their hits and covers of other artists’ hits. One song of theirs they performed that had been left off of many of their shows was their cover of “I’ll Go Crazy” that was sung by recent addition guitarist Dave Zane. Other hits they performed were “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” “Kind Of A Drag,” and “Susan.” Covers they performed included “The Worst That Could Happen,” “Expressway To Your Heart” and “Time Won’t Let Me.” They received a standing ovation and when they went to the lobby to sign autographs, the line was quite long to see them up close and personal."
