    Let’s be honest, all the 60’s groups who are still performing, most no longer with original members, and those who are performing no longer have their A game, but God bless them for keeping their music alive and taking us back in time with them

    • @clapolla

      Agree. I think they only have to have one surviving member of the group to legally be able to perform under the group's name (something like that, anyway). Doesn't work when the only surviving member isn't the lead vocalist. At that point, it's basically a new group.

    I was a professional musician for 50 years. I used to play a lot in Florida. Played a wedding at Disney World in a hotel ballroom in the late 80’s. One night Carl and Nick and band were playing in the next ballroom. Saw them in the men’s room. We said hello. Didn’t shake hands. Lol

    Carl and Nick have done such a good job maintaining the sound...so many of these older bands are not able to make it sound as close to the original and these guys have done that-even though Carl was originally the backing vocalist to Dennis Tufano who left pretty much at the peak of their run.

    Just encompassing a few remarks...the 60's brought R&R into the classical music it will one day be thought of. It was R&R, not the early Rock of the 50's nor the heavier Rock of the late 60's-70's. It's just not your definition of R&R. Second, I've seen both Carl and Dennis separately sing maybe 10-15yrs ago now. Carl's voice was strong and spot on and had me wondering if he'd been lead voice, they'd still have been great. I agree he sounds weaker and flat here but what's he 75y/o +/- in this? I'm sure he's got good and bad days, who don't?
