Anyone else attended a "Happy Together" concert this summer?

We went last night in Alexandria at the Birchmere. It advertises itself as a "reunification tour" of 70s groups, but in reality it's a reunification tour of late 60s pop groups, whic is also fine. That was a lot of the background noise of my younger years! It featured, among others, the Cowsills, the Vogues, the Fortune, the Association, Gary Puckett, and lead Singers from Chicago and the Turtles. It was pretty great, except for a couple of things. I don't know what happened to the mics for the Association, who I'd looked forward to the most, but they had a lot of feedback and they sounded pretty bad. And as for Gary Puckett, although for some reason he seemed to have a lot of fans there, IMNSHO he should just hang it up. For one thing, his songs (some of which to my mind are of a questionable nature) haven't really worn well in this age of awareness, but more importantly, the guy has NO voice left. NONE. Not that he ever had much. The rest of it, however, was quite enjoyable, and provoked a discussion between me and my husband on the way home of concerts we had been to and the circumstances surrounding them, some of which were pretty crazy.

1. Saw Gary Puckett a couple years ago

2 hours or so of just him and band. You’re correct his voice is gone. But he was pretty amusing (admitted his songs were of an “adult nature”) and told some good stories of the old days in the music industry. Seems like a nice guy.
