Lineup
For the most part, the show was predictable. It seemed like too much empty time between sets. The audience was talking a lot while waiting for the next act to go on. As far as the Turtles, eh. The younger member was pretty good. The older, white haired guy was a mess. Couldn't figure out if it was part of the show, or if he was high, drunk, or actually had memory. I was not amused by his demeanor
We had the best time! What fun! We will definitely come to next years show if they return??
First we had difficulty getting our Live Nation & Ticketmaster apps to display the tickets. The connection was bad & slow. Eventually I got the tickets by going back to my email. (The employee at the door was really great trying to help us.) The Cowsills & the Vogues were great, as they always are. But Badfinger was bad. We didn't stick around for the Turtles, or Jay & the Americans, but they probably would have been good. We left because the operation of the sound system was awful. The individual mikes were out of balance with eachother, the keyboard mike overwhelmed everyone else, and the whole thing was too loud. We have been to the Happy Together Tour other years, but we never had sound problems like this.
The Happy together tour is a great show! The performers are very talented. They sing between 3 and 6 songs that were hits for each band. The backup band is the same for all. Everyone seems to think the Turtles were not good. It is true that they are not the original but the lead singer from the Archie’s has a great voice. And this show had Mark Volman who was very energetic. I’m already planning to attend next year. The show is fabulous if you’re from that era. It’s a great show.
As usual The Happy Together Tour doesn’t disappoint! Not only is the music second to none, the bands truly show their love. Don’t miss it if you can go. It’s soooo worth it! ??????????????
The show was great from start to finish. The Cowsills were fantastic, would have loved to seen more of them. Badfinger was good even though there was only one of them. The music sounded good. I've been a fan from early days that McCartney wrote for them, Come And Get It. Baby Blue was a song George Harrison played slide guitar on. Jay & the American were great too, never expected just how good they are and the Association. The Turtles are a tight knit group. Ron Dante as lead vocalist is a great touch. The man can sing ! He's also they straight man for his side kick Flo & Eddy . I loved the show and hope to see them next time.
I thought the venue at Oakdale was terrific. We opted for premier parking which was fantastic. The music was fantastic... the Vogues, Association, Jay & the Americans, as well as the Turtles and Cowsills were superb. I was disappointed in Badfinger... the music was great but not impressed with the vocals... I know the group was not there but the sole representative of the group was disappointing in his vocals. The supporting members who backed up each act with music were real good. Overall, had a great time and enjoyed.
It was more than we expected the Groups exceeded our expectations and the show was truly Professional!! High recommend seeing it!
So wonderful to experience this tour! Happy Together lineup and all the songs you want to hear! Highly recommend. Ticket master was easy to use to purchase and use tickets. Even for the demographic attending this show!
1st time going to the Toyota Center and was impressed. Easy to get in and out of. Enjoyed the show and many places to eat in the area.
