On Saturday night, the Handsome Husband and I went to the OC Fairground's Pacific Amphitheater to see the Happy Together Tour featuring: The Buckinghams, The Grass Roots, Gary Puckett, Mickey Dolenz and The Turtles.It was AWESOME!!!They concentrated on songs from 1967-1968. Happy Bouncy tunes, the kind I LOVE!!! Now, I was only 5 years old when these songs were popular, but my mom was 25 and this was her music. I grew up listening to these songs on 8 track in the car and at home when she would clean the house.
The Grass Roots and Mickey Dolenz (one of the two lead singers from The Monkees) were my favorite. Mickey Dolenz sang SHE which sent me into a tizzy, considering I haven't heard that song in at least 30 years. The Buckinghams sounded the most like their 1960's selves and Gary Puckett was horrible sounding, but fun to watch and hear his songs.
One of the Best Parts of the show was the encore. They called each group out one by one and they sang a song, by the end all the groups were on stage together singing "Happy Together". It was INCREDIBLE!!
I recommend this show if it comes to your town and I think it will be back next year. It was also really inexpensive. We paid $17.50 for our ticket (not including ticketmaster's $10 "convenience" fee).
- Encore:
- Happy Together - Reprise - Turtles and the other groups
