I met Bob Gaudio (he's playing piano) while running cross country in highschool. His house was along our route in Oradell NJ. He was always very nice so in my senior year we were looking for a way to raise money to defer the cost of our prom. Well without much thinking I stopped one day and asked him if the Four Seasons would do a free concert at my school. He agreed and 3 months later they showed up and did the concert, no contract just a handshake. Try that today!!
Frankie deserves all the credit in the world for that unique voice and feeling... but hey those Four Seasons had some tight harmonies! In my book they are ALL superstars...
Oh those great pop-rock bands participating in producing some of the most memorable and classic tunes from the 1960's top 40 format. I can recall those little transistor radios playing these great songs from the Four Seasons and Herman's Hermits along with so many other talented groups and individual artists. If we could only go back today to this style of music, how great would that be.
What a great live performance on Hullabaloo by both the Four Seasons and Hermans Hermits. I love the way the Seasons segwayed into going from Toy Soldier to Bye, Bye Baby, Baby Goodbye!
Frou Seasons, Real talent I mean. Come on, the Jersey Boys Musical/story based on them? Base don super talent and these guys paid their dues for years before they made it big.
Wow, Hulabaloo, we watched that show and also Shindig back in '65. Tne came "Batman" and "I Spy". Grew up with the "Seasons" way before the English Invasion changed it all, great times, glad I was there.
This sure sounds live- no tracks, and they are singing their asses off. They may have pre-recorded their own tracks earlier in the day as these shows did with performers...loved Herman's Hermits; too. I had the pleasure of knowing Lek Leckenby, their lead guitarist, a great guy, and killer player. R.I.P. Lek.
This was before Nick Massi was replaced by Joe Long. I don't know them by their appearance but because Massi played bass righthanded, and Long played bass lefthanded.
"The soldier poor boy don't come home to be broken like a toy" (2:40), sadly prophetic words with US forces in Vietnam reaching 180,000 in the year 1965.
Frankie sounds a whole lot better in his live recordings especially how he sung ''Toy Solder'' here...I wish there was a full recording of him singing it just like this. His studio recordings were good but his voice just sounds much cleaner here.
I can't resist Herman's smiles, but I like the 4 Seasons too. Two very different groups, but if I had to choose one over the other it's definitely Herman's Hermits for me!
Nick Massi + Bob Gaudio + Tomi DeVito + Frankie Valli = ....well, there really are no words to explain the magnitude of what they equal......

Wow....that is amazing. ❤❤
How Wonderful 🤔
Frankie's voice has to be one of the top 5 most recognizable in music history, it's legendary.
They were one of the greatest!!!
One of the 60's best of all time!!!!
Nice to see The Four Seasons with the original members. That was the last year Nick Massi was with them.

Class act...Great music...Just love them...
Killer transition from Toy Soldier to Bye Bye Baby. Man, these guys were great vocalists.
This is the best group ever. Love to hear them. Grew up listening to their music.

This is brilliant! I saw Jersey Boys earlier this year as well and thought it was amazing too. Nostalgia at its best.
One of the last performances with the great Nick Massi.
So true. Amazing arranger , bass vocalist and great on bass guitar.They were never the same....or as good after Nick left.

perfect collection. thank you for uploading and sharing. Takes me back to when I heard the originals on KISN '91derful' in Portland.
Trini played at my dad's high school prom in 1969 at the Palmer House in Chicago. Pop you are old.
thanks for sharing this bit of gold!
Great to hear Franki Valli and the Four Seasons! Brings back many memories!
This sure sounds live- no tracks, and they are singing their asses off.

I love this medley so much❤❤❤
This was a gem! Thanks so much!!

# 1 group. Long live Frankie Valli & the 4 seasons. Just like James Day & the Fish Fry...
I love Frankie's error at the intro to 'Toy Soldier' Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

i recently saw jersey boys and it was amazing
フォーシーズンズの曲の中でも特に好きな曲 ♬ ジャージーボーイズの映画で いつ歌うの いつ歌うのって待って この曲が流れて来た時はワクワクしました 💓
Love Herman's Hermits. Happy music.
"The soldier poor boy don't come home to be broken like a toy" (2:40), sadly prophetic words with US forces in Vietnam reaching 180,000 in the year 1965.
Such a great clip of Frankie Valley really belting it out at the top if his game...so young.
Happy Birthday Frankie
The four seasons are the best
Oh, yeah! Might be flipping' here just a little bit! Still luv it!
brilliant
lIVE VOCALS.............
the best
Frankie sounds a whole lot better in his live recordings especially how he sung ''Toy Solder'' here...I wish there was a full recording of him singing it just like this. His studio recordings were good but his voice just sounds much cleaner here.
Chad Louis agree
I seen them live in Newark 1964
was they that good? :D
yes
amazes me that there is two thumbs down for this upload.......deaf me thinks :-)
pitney77 yep
And Peter Noone('Herman') does his trademark dimple-twist/ain't I cute thingie with his finger.
those 14 dislikes are Justin Bieber's fans.
US Navy 15
what
I would think if you like Bieber you could appreciate 4 Seasons.
❤
*Wow.*
Está.muyvien
best part 3:01
Nimrod I do agree with that sir.
Love this music - hey doesn't Frankie Valli look like Antonio Villaraigosa the mayor of Los Angeles?
I can't resist Herman's smiles, but I like the 4 Seasons too. Two very different groups, but if I had to choose one over the other it's definitely Herman's Hermits for me!
Anyone know what bass that is?
Gibson firebird, same as tommy's guitar
The host reminds me of Jimmy Barret from Mad Men haha
didn't the Hermits also play Henery the Eighth at Hullabaloo? Or was that on a different episode?
say hello to trini lopez as MC
I had heard that Jimmy Page played guitar on that recording.
1bountifulinc Which song?
+cesarmanuel51 Silhouettes
These are 1964 hits.
Nice But there seems to be a Lot of Christ songs on the radio But its kinda Cute anyways i keep hearing christ songs often
Better than the Beatles, Elvis and nobody today can come close to this.
