Tommy James gave his all with his performance, music, showmanship, and interaction with the crowd. He is a true artist and I would see his show again without hesitation. As far as the Hard Rock Venue, FOH sound was horrible. An insult to Tommy James. I would love to see Tommy James perform again, but in a different venue.

Tommy James put on a wonderful show, sang all the hits, all of which we sang along with because we knew all the words!! He was gracious throughout and went out of his way to connect with his fans.

I brought my wife to see this band. Honestly, I never realized they had so many hits! These guys played strong and really rocked the place. We see a lot of concerts, and this might be the sleeper concert of 2013. Go see them if you can!

Tommy James is an outstanding performer. He still has his voice and his band is excellent. He is a performer I would recommend seeing if you enjoy the music of the 60's and 70's; and just basically want to have fun.

Overall great concert. Hate to admit but I remembered every song each group played. Only downside was the sound for the headliner Thomy James was not good much too loud and not equalized properly.

Favorite moment: The Happenings' tribute to the armed forces' veterans @

Posted 04/29/2013

Location:Piscataway, NJ

We LOVED The Happenings, LOVED Chuck Negron - he was the most accepting of his age of any artist we've seen recently! - and thought Tommy James was just too full of himself.

The Happenings played most of their best songs, and did so well, in tune, and with little change from "the way we remember". Chuck Negron, while lacking the rest of the three dogs, was funny, ended his concert much better than he started, as he warmed up.

Tommy James' music was lacking and WAY too loud, forced at times, and he only played two or three of his myriad of #1 hits, so that was a disappointment. He came down into the audience to shake hands with people, much to the horror of his security guards! The other problem with HIS portion of the concert was the lights - much more movement of the lights, practically blinding the patrons (most of which by now probably have cataracts, so the lights were actually painful!).

The show was excellent, but there was a small group of females about two rows behind us who were talking too much and interfering with us hearing what the performers said. I feel the security person was lax in his duties because he talked to them once and that was it for his discipline of them since they continued to talk.

Nice to have jumbo trans, so we could see well.

The set up for the entire concert was badly done - there was a break of 1/2 hour between each band and people started leaving as it was taking too long for the entire process. The entire time of the concert was almost 4 hours and that is a little long for someone to be expected to sit there. There should have been more than one entrance to the event as there was such an extremely long line that people were getting tired of waiting too. Also, I believe seating should have been assigned so that the line to get in wouldn't have been so long as that is why people were in line (to get a decent seat). There was VIP seating but I don't remember there being a VIP place to order tickets.

Setlist: All three bands hit the main songs. Hanky Panky, loved Mirage, I like the Way, Run, Run, Baby Run; Gettin Together; Mony Mony; I Can't Take it No more, Etc. @

Opening act(s): Buckinghams probably took the show, Righteous bro! had some voice issues but truly amazing stage presence. @

All three acts were nostalgic and memorable. The musicians were amazing and I can not believe the stamina to keep doing this for that many years. Bill Medley had some issues with his voice but loved his stage presence and heart. The tribute to Bobby Hatfield was touching and his daughter McKenna was also very soulful-tribute to Etta James very good. The Buckingham's were excellent also, Loved reliving my past. And Tommy James was the highlight. His songs bring back my youth, his band was excellent too. They played most of the songs I wanted to hear. Missed Out of the Blue(my favorite) not a big hit tho. We were celebrating my friend birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. People watching was fun too.

The Buckinghams and Bill Medley were awesome.
I didn't think that Tommy James and the Shondells were that good. Their volume was way to loud and it distorted all the words and it seemed like they were only into playing their guitars. Tommy had a lot of "classmates" in the audience so he actually stopped playing and went in the audience to meet and greet them while the band kept playing and then he went back on stage. There was not personal communication between him and the audience during the performance. Just went from song to song and done.

The Buckinghams: Definitely NOT A DRAG!

Gary Lewis: Everybody loves a clown! He put on a great set.

Peter Noone: What a performer! He stole the show. His spot-on impersonation of Mick Jagger's rooster strut while singing "Start Me Up" was a scream.

Tommy James: We all did some HANKY PANKY!

Fun for all at the sold out show.

The Buckinghams opened with two of it's original members. They sounded great. They are one of the underrated groups of the 1960's with 5 great songs. The Opened with Don't You Care followed by Hey Baby They're Playing Our Song, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", Susan, This Boy and ended with "Kind of a Drag. Gary Lewis, another underrated performer followed and was also great doing all his hits. He sounded just as he did over 40 years ago. He did Sure Gonna Miss Her, Count Me In (Opened), Green Grass, Save Your Heart For Me, My Heart's Symphony, This Diamond Ring, Everybody Loves a Clown, and She's Just My Styler. Peter Noone with Herman's Hermits was great. Not only can he still sing but he is very funny. He did most of his greatest hits. He did "A Must To Avoid, Wonderful World, Silhouettes, No Milk Today, Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter, Can't you Hear My Heartbeat, Listen People, End of the World, I'm Henry VIII (crowd pleaser), There's a KInd of Hush (ended)
Tommy James ended the show and was great. He sounded wonderful. I felt like I was revisiting my youth. He did Draggin' the Line, Say I AM, Hanky Panky, I Think We're Alone Now, Ball of Fire, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Crimson and Clover, Mony Mony (Crowd Pleaser), Encore-Mirage, Sweet Cherry Wine. Great concert.
