Bobby Rydell still sounds great

Favorite moment: When he did "Sway" one of my favorite songs by him. @

Opening act(s): He had a comedian open the show. This guy was very funny. Wish I could remember his name. The part I liked best was that it was clean humor. I've never felt that a comedian had to use fowl language to be funny. @

Featured Review

I saw Bobby Rydell once before but it was as part of Golden Boys of Bandstand with Fabian and Frankie Avalon. The only one of the 3 I wanted to see was Bobby Rydell. Because he was 1/3 of the show, I didn't get to see his full show. I've been waiting years to see him again and have it be the full show. It finally happened on Friday September 17th at the casino in Niagara Falls, N.Y. This was the first time for seeing a concert there. The place has only 444 seats which means that you see great no matter where you sit. I was able to get 3rd row center because I ordered my tickets as soon as they went on sale. I was so looking forward to this show and I wasn't at all disappointed. Even though he is 68 years young, he still sounds great and put on a fantastic show. There are songs that are favorites of mine that he didn't do but that didn't stop me from having a great evening of entertainment. Not only did he perform those wonderful songs but he is also very funny, telling many amusing stories. I was able to meet him after the show. Not only is he a great entertainer but a great human being also. We talked for awhile, he signed everything I put in front of him and he posed for pictures. The one of me and him will be enlarged and in a frame on my wall. I've been a fan since the early 60's and would go see him again anytime he is in this area. If you love the music of the 60's and have never seen him in concert, you owe it to yourself to see his show.

Really enjoyed warm up groups. The Happenings and Orlans were great. Martha & Vandellas were not too good. Bobby Rydel told too many long winded jokes, although his voice sounded very good. Not a bad show for some pretty old performers.

I had the most amazing time at this concert. I loved every single second of it from start to finish. We really got our moneys worth, almost 3 straight hours of the most glorious oldies. Everyone, The Orlons, The Happenings, Martha Reeves and the Vandelas, and especially Bobby Rydell were fantastic. Their voices are all still so strong. They all sounded amazing and were all wonderful performers. Bobby Rydell was absolutely suberb! He is an amazing performer. Loved him! Loved him talking Italian, his gestures, everything about him was excellent. We truly had most most fantastic time and will do it again in a heartbeat if they come back, which we hope they do.

This was a terrific show. However the second half with BOBBY RYDELL was beyond superb. He is a tremendously talented performer. His voice is so powerful and strong. You would never know he just recently went through two very serious operations. A double transplant and open heart surgery. He looks great and his talent knows no limits. A very, very enjoyable show to say the least!!!

Bobby Rydell was great. Maybe a couple fewer jokes and a couple more songs would have been better. The groups were all good -- especially The Happenings.

We waited with high anticipation for this compilation concert. The Happenings were good and sounded decent. Martha Reeves came on and was horrific!! Out of breath, barely sang and honestly; I could not wait until her set was done. Then came Bobby Rydell. He sounded good and his voice was strong. But he could not stay out there due to recent surgery. An obvious encore was not to be as he slowly left the stage.

The venue was the Keswick. We have tickets for one more concert at the Keswick and that will be our last. It is always hot in there and security allows people from the back of the audience to come up front and bock your view and in my case keep bumping me. Horrible!!!

I've seen Bobby Rydell at least 3 times in the last few years. He puts on a fabulous show. He still has a great voice and does some incredible tributes. Very entertaining, high energy, and tells some extremely funny stories. I highly recommend his show.

Bobby Rydell still has a great voice. He put on a great show. He sang all his own hits and sounded fantastic. He has the house rocking. He also did a medley of Bobby Darrin songs that he nailed. He was also very entertaining wth quite a few jokes that had us laughing. Vidoes from his past included scenes from Bye Bye Birdie which brought back fond memories.

Only complailnt would be that the Hilton tried to pack in too many people. Chairs were way too close and small. This made the seating pretty uncomfortable.

What a great show! This guy can still sing. Show was wonderful. I would have stayed to see a 2nd show if one was scheduled. Bobby sings all his hits and some of Frank S's and Bobby Darin's also. Brought back great times. Don't miss this show if you have a chance to see it!

As good as in the 50s. Great entertainer. A must for baby boomers and for the up and coming generations. Great songs. A 10 plus rating. He can still keep a crowd in motion!!! Delightful show.

Great show, Bobby sounded great, sang most of his songs, paid tribute to Sinatra and Darin, my only complaint would be that the show was about 75 minutes, really should have been longer.

Bobby still can sing as good as ever. However, I was dissappointed that he did not sing all of his old songs. I was hoping for an "oldies" show, but his oldies. He did a few. But I thought the Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra segments were not necessary.
To sing his songs he need a vocal group to back him up (like his records)
He was a great joke teller. Clean and not in the gutter.
The band was great.
The venue was not that good. Not acoustically made for musical shows nor is the seating arrangement.

His voice was amazing and he is hysterical with the jokes. It was an early Xmas surprise with my mom and her cousins and we had smiles on our faces the whole time and wiggling in our seats. Only negative was they had some kind of media on a large screen behind the musicians and it was unviewable from our seats on the side which cost the same price as every other seat.
