This concert was one for the ages !! So fantastic !! There were so many magnificent acts. The headliners were Martha & The Vandellas, who looked and sounded great !! They sang many of their hits such as Heat Wave, Jimmy Mack, Nowhere To Run, Dancing In The Street, and more. After the show, they did a Meet & Greet where I met Martha, and got to talk with her a bit, and got an autographed picture by Martha & the two Vandellas. Martha was so very nice !!
I also enjoyed The Association, who sang Windy, Along Comes Mary, Cherish, and other hits. They also said that The Mamas & Papas only did about 60 concerts and they were at 50 of them (I assume opening for them). So they also sang California Dreaming. Very good set. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
The Chiffons were amazing also. The original lead singer from 1963 was there as the lead. The other two were her daughter and niece. They sang Sweet Talking Guy, One Fine Day, and other hits. Super !!
Other acts were The Vogues (5 0'clock world), Tommy Mara of The Crests (Sixteen Candles), Lenny Welch (Since I Fell For You), and the opening act was an acapella group called The Persuasions. These groups were also excellent !!
The MC who introduced each act was 73 year old Majic 102.7 oldies DJ Rick Shaw, who is legendary.
This was a super night to remember !! It brought back so many memories !! In the finale, all 7 acts came out to sing one collective number together. Spectacular show !!
