Live review.

Live Review: Happy Together Tour – The Cowsills, The Vogues, The Buckinghams, The Association, Gary Puckett, Ron Dante, The Turtles – Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, Florida – June 1, 2022

The Happy Togethe r tour, which was created by David Fishof in the mid-eighties, has become a tradition for many baby boomers who crave the music of the sixties. Every year the tour, which consists of The Turtles (Flo & Eddie) and numerous other 60s pop bands, rolls into cities across the U.S.  Patrons often show up in tie-dye attire and hair-challenged men wear hippie wigs.  Adding to the atmosphere, vendors sell vintage records, cassettes, scented candles, clothing, and pop art memorabilia.

The tour has become a Rock At Night tradition in the last decade. Thanks to COVID, the world hasn’t experienced the tour since 2019 (our last show experience was 2017).  So the kick-off of the tour at Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, had a special significance as baby boomers again met to break bread with their favorite sixties artists.

As I arrived to the theater on June 1 st , the lobby was buzzing with boomers. Having spent a lot of the last two years masked and indoors, it was nice seeing this many seniors out and about—smiling and full of life. A few crochet vests, boots, and of course, tie-dyed shirts were observed, but this year, people seemed to be wearing mostly street attire. Only a few wore face masks since the requirement has been lifted in our state.

The first band that appeared promptly at 7 p.m. was The Cowsills, which consisted of Bob, Paul, and Susan Cowsill.  During the evening The Cowsills sang hits like “The Rain, the Park, And Other Things,” “Indian Lake,” “We Can Fly”, and “Hair/Let the Sunshine In” (from “Aquarius”).  During the “Hair” song the videos on the screen behind the band included ads for Dippity Do, Glemby Girl Salons, and hair styles of the day.

Between songs the band quipped and said, “We changed it up. We’re telling jokes.” Susan Cowsill asked, “Why did the alligator wear a vest?” As the audience shook their heads, she responded, “Because he was an investigator.” After hearing a roar of “ah’s’ and laughter, I knew it would be a nostalgic evening of music and “Dixie Riddle Cup” jokes.

After a short 20-minute set, The Vogues performed crowd favorites like “Special Angel”, “You’re the One”, and “Five O’Clock World”, which was the theme song of the The Drew Carey Show . For the tour, The Vogues consist of Troy Elich, Royce Taylor, and Shawn Stevens. Elich conversed with crowd, saying “As we passed The Cowsills they said, ‘young crowd’.” The last song was a 1968 mega hit for the band, “Turn Around, Look At Me”, which was featured in a Volkswagen commercial in 2019.

The Buckinghams came out looking extremely youthful singing “Hey Baby (They’re Playing Our Song)”, which had everyone dancing in their seats. Original members Nick Fortuna on bass and Carl Giammarese on vocals noted they have performed together for 55 years “because of you allowed us to make our music.” They told stories about performing on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour , the Ed Sullivan Show , and backing The Monkees.  They performed “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” and a personal favorite was 1967 hit “Kind of a Drag.”

There was an approximately 20 minute intermission before The Association entered the stage.  The harmonies were beautiful and sounded just like the records I remembered, with hits like “Cherish”, “Windy”, and “Never My Love”.  The Association noted there was controversy when they released their song “And Then Along Comes Mary, which by today’s standards would be a non-issue.  There were plenty of jokes about being “old” during the evening as the band thanked the crowd for “staying up late.”

Gary Puckett came on stage looking extremely fit as he belted out hits like “Lady Willpower, “Over You”, and “This Girl is a Woman Now”.  He noted, “I can’t hit the high notes now” but his voice was actually powerful and spot on.  Before introducing “Young Girl”, he thanked the crowd for “making it a humongous hit by putting out your 49 cents” and added “I am a neighbor and live here in Clearwater.” He said his personal favorite song is “Woman, Woman”—and one cannot argue with that.

Last up, The Turtles came on stage, with Flo (Mark Volman) wearing a vest comprised of Snoopy and Peanuts characters and saying, “We missed you. My paycheck went out the window and I haven’t seen it since you left.” Flo was hysterically funny as he played the old, absent-minded curmudgeon most of the evening.  Unfortunately, Eddie (Howard Kaylan) was not present but Ron Dante, a master in his own right, filled his formidable shoes. The crowd was even treated to “Sugar, Sugar”.

Flo explained, “We had our first hit song when I was 17 years old and in a surf band called the Crossfires. We did a Bob Dylan song. We didn’t understand the lyrics at the time—and either did Bob. It’s a really confusing song and we were too young to appreciate it.” He noted, “We were younger then but older than that now.” He asked the audience to participate by singing “No, no” and jumped into “It Ain’t Me, Babe.”

Flo introduced the phenomenal band which backed every artist during the evening: Godfrey Townsend (guitar), Manny Faocarazzo (keys), Greg Smith (bass), and Chris Camilleri (drums). Finally, The Turtles broke into crowd favorites “Eleanor” and “Happy Together”, which brought the audience to their feet dancing. The finale included all the featured bands together on stage.

I really enjoyed the show—and so did the audience which gave many standing ovations during the evening.  The performances were truly amazing and I was blown away by the voices–real, pure, and without Auto-Tune, people.  It truly is WORTH going to see the Happy Together tour so I urge people to catch it this summer.  Go alone or bring your parents for an evening of sing-along songs and AM radio nostalgia–I did!

2024 will mark the 15th year of the highly successful, hit-filled summer package, THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR.  The touring sensation that has criss-crossed the nation delighting audiences for over a decade returns this summer with a show full of chart-topping hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s – an undeniable 61 Billboard Top 40 smashes.  The Tour is once again joined by THE TURTLES, who also act as musical hosts for the evening.  Along with THE TURTLES will be JAY and the AMERICANS, THE ASSOCIATION,  BADFINGER, THE VOGUES and the COWSILLS. 

THE TURTLES are best known for their harmony-heavy California pop sound.  With such hits as “Elenore,” “She’d Rather Be With Me,” “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “You Showed Me” and the title of the tour, “Happy Together,” the band ruled the airwaves in the late ‘60s.  Ron Dante joins the line-up to delight with his own mega-hits, “Sugar Sugar” and “Tracy.”

We are proud to present JAY and the  AMERICANS, Few groups  have ever reached the musical heights with hits from 1962 – 1971. This  group charted an amazing Five Billboard Top 10”  hits and Twelve “Top 20” hit records. Their breakout hit was “She Cried”.  Their next chart hit was “Only In America “, which they followed  with hit songs ‘”Come A Little Bit Closer”, “Cara Mia” and “This Magic Moment”, which hit the “Billboard Top 10”.

Also returning to the tour for 2024 are THE ASSOCIATION, who enjoyed massive radio success in the ‘60s, with such #1 hits as “Cherish,” “Windy,” “Never My Love” and “Along Comes Mary”.  This iconic vocal group was a staple on the radio airways in the 1960’s.

THE VOGUES are also known for their harmony-driven soaring pop sound. They had numerous Top 10 hits with singles such as “Five O’clock World”, “You’re The One,” “My Special Angel” and “Turn Around Look At Me,” among others.

BADFINGER, from their legendary lineup, Joey Molland continues the unforgettable legacy of BADFINGER.  One of the original signings to the Beatles’ Apple Records label. They had their first hit single with a Paul McCartney penned song, "Come and Get It", which went to #7 in the U.S. charts.  BADFINGER followed this with their own compositions "No Matter What", "Day After Day" (produced by George Harrison), and "Baby Blue", which went to #8, #4 and #14 respectively. 

Rounding out the bill are THE COWSILLS, the harmonious singing family  (two brothers and a sister) that inspired the smash ‘60s hit television show, THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY.  They are sure to delight with their best-known songs, “Hair,” “Indian Lake,” “The Rain The Park & Other Things (I Love The Flower Girl)” and more.

The tour has played more than 50 plus shows a year and 2024 will be no exception.

Stories We Want You to Read

I’d like to know what band is planning to show up as Badfinger. Is it Joey Molland’s Badfinger (he being the only member left from the Come and Get it days)? Or one of the other groups that made the rounds under that name, featuring other less-well-known later members?

We saw an early version of the Happy Together Tour right around 1985 in Baltimore and were highly entertained. It included The Mamas and Papas, Spanky and Our Gang, Gary Puckett, Gene Clark, Herman’s Hermits (minus Herman), the Grass Roots, Mitch Ryder, etc. It was a great couple of shows.

Minus Peter Noone you mean ?

Just saw the Cowsills at Mohegan Sun and they sound very good. Last year I walked out of the Association because they do not sound good at all. There was one original and he should have been replaced. Watched a 2023 happy together video and I wondered what relation these guys singing Vogues tunes have to that band. They did not sound good. At the very least, call it a tribute.
