Janice Agimudie And bassist Don Cicconi’s recognizable falsettos sound just as great here too! I’m actually surprised how well Polci and Cicconi both mime Frankie Valli’s voice on a number of tracks here...
lakebay972 you are right on with your comment and thank you for that. Of course Frankie Valli was going to get the credit, it was his and Gaudios band. I will admit Polci is very talented as well as Ciconne, Paiva, and Shapiro but they were just hired hands who happen to be great musicians.
What a great concert, too bad they're not together any more. Gerry Polci's voice is amazing and the way he plays the drums is fantastic. Thats old drum magic not like today. God bless them all for giving us this music. I could sit and watch Gerry all evening.
Gerry, THE best drummer in the world. Even better than Phil Collins, and that's saying something. Then there's the voice. OMG, even after all the years, my heart melted when he sang Oh What a Night, and Who loves you. Not to mention the drums in both those songs. OK, I'll settle down now. If the Hit Men ever come to Australia, I need to know about it. I want to be there. Maybe they could come and do a benefit concert for the fires that are currently destroying our country?
George Morgan The Hit Men still performs but Gerry Polci is no longer with the band. He met his beautiful wife Rhea Chiles in 2015 and got married in December 2015. He is happily married and living in Florida. Gerry is extremely happy with his beautiful bride! I know them well.
I could listen to Gerry Polci sing every day and not get tired of his voice. Jimmy Ryan is a sweet guy, very talented on the guitar, and his voice suits every song well. Lee knew he wanted to play piano and went out and made it happen. Larry is criminally underrated in my mind. Russell has an impressive resume and good energy. The Hitmen will always be my favorite culmination band.
Very underrated drummer he’s got rock and soul and he’s got a great voice I try to listen to live versions and he spot on quite a bit excellent performer
A tight and very professional performance by the whole band but Gerry Polci in particular deserves the praise he's earning here. A pleasure to see him recreating the magic of "December 1963", but what about "Grease" too... where he sings all the lead vocals plus a big drum solo.
I stumbled upon this video while searching Gerry Polci and I couldn't help watch the WHOLE thing. I never even knew this band existed but they are awesome and Gerry is an absolute machine on drums... and I mean that in a good way!
Cool to see. As a drummer, I can tell you that singing while drumming is harder than it seems. Much more physical effort than say, playing guitar or keyboards and singing. For Polci to pull it off as superbly as he does is amazing.
Isaac Saul.... Agree! The entire thing is awesome... recorded and engineered so well, it’s like being at a really great concert and getting the front-row seats!!
All these songs heard from my mom & talked about those days & music all great til back back then til now just ❤️her always that's why I love music ol & new
The 4 Seasons had great songs, they were all great musicians. But I have to say Gerry Polci was the key to their success. No disrespect to the others, in my opinion Polci was the best of them, and this video proves it. Gerry your the man 👍🏽
Watching this has been one of the best study breaks I could have asked for. Always awesome to see the legends still going strong, and Gerry Polci is clearly no exception! "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)" is easily one of my favourite Four Seasons songs, so to hear him sing it as well as he did back in the 70s is a treat. Gaudio really knew how to write tunes (understatement of the year).
Whenever I start watching this performance, I can't stop until I go all the way through. Lucky people, in that audience. I've sent links of this to friends who've never heard this music or the bands that played it and they've become hooked. Thank you so much, to all the people who generated and polished these songs over the years. And Gerry Polci is one of the most unassuming and refined gentlemen, but so talented. And thanks to Larry Gates, R.I.P
Geri Polci is a solid tight drummer with a hell of a voice !!! When he was with cranky valley ... that was the best version of the four seasons in my opinion.
Colo_Native5280 Wow, that was great. So great to see Gerry Polci doing this song again, and it's amazing that he sings & drums just as good as he did back in the 70's with The Four Seasons. Incredible.
Jerry Polci, with Don Ciccone on bass and Lee Shapiro on keys! That's worth the ticket price right there!! 3 of the mid 1970s Four Seasons! Oh What a band! I'm not sure why the guitar player said there were only 2 members on stage??
Loved watching the hitmen!!! I love watching Gerry Polci playing drums. I thought his poor arms would be hurting. If y’all are still together keep playing the good music❤️
This is fabulous, really enjoyed it. Gerry Polci WAS the Four Seasons, great singer, far better than Frankie Valli & a brilliant drummer. Oozes sex appeal too 😘😘😘
I think that Gerry has a different kind of voice than Frankie, but you need both of them for that song to do well in the 1970s. But I tell you what, Gerry did a fabulous job playing those drums and that voice! Nobody but Gerry could have done that song like he did! And YES, he definitely oozes sex appeal!
Hi Dell - this is Larry's wife. I'm just watching this again for the first time in years, brought back so many memories. Thank you for the kind note here. We are missing Larry very much.
As you may have known, Gerry Polci and I have become good friends and had nothing but wonderful things to tell me about his long-time friend, Larry Gates. I never did get to meet him, but I feel closely connected to him through his music and Gerry's memories. God Bless You!!
Oh my goodness why have I only just found these men, particularly Gerry on the drums , their harmonies are amazing . I know this was posted 4 years ago but I have to investigate further. I am from the UK so there’s not much hope of them performing over here is there😊
What darn great show you folks put on. I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Don Ciconne and sorry to hear that Gerry Polci no longer performs with you guys. I’m glad to see Lee Shapiro is still involved and if I may say I grew up with the 4 Seasons of the 70’s as they have been my all time favorite group. Their albums Who Loves you and Helicon are my all time favorites and to this day still listen to them weekly while driving, working out, working or just plain kicking back. These guys were awesome as a band and I just wish Bob Gaudio would have kept them all together. Good luck to all!!!!
They have the rigth to use the catslog not from fesnkie valli bit from the four seasons because this group have originals members from the four seasins. So those songs are their songs. What a night original was singing for gerry polci and here too in that song frankie walli just sings a little beat. Gerry was the sanger and drummer of what a night song so it was a pleasure saw him with his song.
Russ is a great entertainer, Jim is an awesome guitar player, and Lee is a great pianist who good on the keyboard. Then there is Gerry who is fastastic drummer and singer. What a winning combination. Love these guys!!!!!
Todos cantan bien tocan excelente interactuan con el publico.yo escuchaba su musica cuando era niña. Todos sus hits , what a night fue inolvidable. what a group ! Que voces armonia y excekente sound que me ha en bailar pagaria por verlos hoy con mi hijo que aunque es tecnico en arquitectura desde los 7 años toca la bateria y participa en grupos y orquestas ocasionalmente de nuestra region en Suiza.admira a Phil Collins por el talento de tocar y cantar pero tiene que conocer a Gerry Polci number 1!
Larry, You All Have this Amazing God Given Gift to Bring it All Together Right Back where it Came from That and The True love you Have For Your fans "Wow" Thank you For Sharing!
I met them all and hopefully my career in music can be as big as theirs. They inspire me to do music and hearing about Larry's death crushed me. He was a good man and an amazing musician!! R.I.P Larry
Gerry Polci is a awesome but under rated drummer and he has a great voice to match
Hes a funky drummer too.
Gerry Polci can still jam & sounds great!
Hey Gary is my music u the number 1
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo👏👏👏👏👏
I'm happy to see Gerry Polci getting the recognition he deserves. He made December 1963 a big hit but Frankie Valli got the credit for it.
Totally, Gerry is a total rock star....he da' man!
Janice Agimudie And bassist Don Cicconi’s recognizable falsettos sound just as great here too! I’m actually surprised how well Polci and Cicconi both mime Frankie Valli’s voice on a number of tracks here...
Actually, it's Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons who received the credit; and Gerry Polci is one of the Four Seasons.
lakebay972 you are right on with your comment and thank you for that. Of course Frankie Valli was going to get the credit, it was his and Gaudios band. I will admit Polci is very talented as well as Ciconne, Paiva, and Shapiro but they were just hired hands who happen to be great musicians.
Yeah there isn’t any individual interviews with him either! Would have liked to see past interviews.
What a great concert, too bad they're not together any more. Gerry Polci's voice is amazing and the way he plays the drums is fantastic. Thats old drum magic not like today. God bless them all for giving us this music. I could sit and watch Gerry all evening.

If the Hit Men ever come to Australia, I need to know about it. I want to be there. Maybe they could come and do a benefit concert for the fires that are currently destroying our country?
I would pay serious money to see these guys in Charlotte. Sad that Larry and Don have passed. Are they still on tour?
He is damn good.
George Morgan The Hit Men still performs but Gerry Polci is no longer with the band. He met his beautiful wife Rhea Chiles in 2015 and got married in December 2015. He is happily married and living in Florida. Gerry is extremely happy with his beautiful bride! I know them well.

Lee knew he wanted to play piano and went out and made it happen.
Larry is criminally underrated in my mind.
Russell has an impressive resume and good energy.
The Hitmen will always be my favorite culmination band.
This is just a fantastic performance. Gerry Polci is the man - one of the all time great voices. And those harmonies...amazing
Very underrated drummer he’s got rock and soul and he’s got a great voice I try to listen to live versions and he spot on quite a bit excellent performer
I have seen these lists of top drummers. Clearly Gerry should be there. Singing and drumming at same time. I mean geez.
Gerry Polci was (is) my favorite. Talented musician and singer.
Great musicians, what a bass player! Gerry Polci still playing amazing. The harmonies are superb. These guys still playing like there in their 30's
A tight and very professional performance by the whole band but Gerry Polci in particular deserves the praise he's earning here. A pleasure to see him recreating the magic of "December 1963", but what about "Grease" too... where he sings all the lead vocals plus a big drum solo.

Excelente baterísta
Cool to see. As a drummer, I can tell you that singing while drumming is harder than it seems. Much more physical effort than say, playing guitar or keyboards and singing. For Polci to pull it off as superbly as he does is amazing.
I just found this playlist. THIS is awesome! Gerry is still the best drummer/vocalist in the world!
Mr Polci still looks fine to me 💕
I t's good to see Gerry Polci again, he was and still is the best, hope to see him in person someday
Gerry Polci= best drummer in the world
Excelente Show,para No Olvidar!👍💞🎊🎉🎹🎤🎶🎵💥✨💫😷😷💞 Gerry Polci the Best ... 👏👏👏
I don't think so.
Buddy Rich
I keep watching this over and over...lol...December 1963 my favorite song when I was eleven..ya'll are awesome!!!
I'm a 22 year old straight in a serious relationship male and I think Gerry is still a great looking and sounding talented man.
Fantastic group. We are going to see them tonight ,January 25,2020 at the State Theater in Easton,Pa. Can't wait!
Aren't you glad you did when you did? This pandemic makes you appreciate every little thing.
Wow so good! Beautiful harmonies! Gerry Polci is the best drummer and so glad to see him doing what he loves!
Gerry Polci, wow, just wow!
This is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam
Isaac Saul.... Agree! The entire thing is awesome... recorded and engineered so well, it’s like being at a really great concert and getting the front-row seats!!
Rest in Peace Don Ciccone. Wish I was born in that amazing era to experience those legends in their prime.
I did....it was GREAT
The Critters!
Lee Shapiro is a brilliant arranger!
Seeing Gerry playing drums brings back a lot of memories. The Hit Men are a close sound to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Amazing.
All these songs heard from my mom & talked about those days & music all great til back back then til now just ❤️her always that's why I love music ol & new
39 minutes in 😍😍 oh what a night! Gerry Polci is da man!!
One of the few concerts I would pay for again. They were absolutely fantastic.
I would pay too .I hope they come to Switzerland
The 4 Seasons had great songs, they were all great musicians. But I have to say Gerry Polci was the key to their success. No disrespect to the others, in my opinion Polci was the best of them, and this video proves it. Gerry your the man 👍🏽
Last entry by Gerry Polci... Why'd it take so long to see the light... incredible. Powerful.
Love this 100%!!!

If you like good drum music you will love the way Gerry plays the drums. He is awesome and has a great voice. His drum solo is fantastic!!😮
Love it ❤❤❤ Gerry Polci😍
Thanks I'm happy to see Gerry Polci getting the recognition he deserves.
You just copy pasted another comment

Polci is a Godly drummer !! I would love to see him live ! What a concert that would be !

Colo_Native5280 Wow, that was great. So great to see Gerry Polci doing this song again, and it's amazing that he sings & drums just as good as he did back in the 70's with The Four Seasons. Incredible.
At 39:07 when it cuts to Gerry, you can see him smiling, brilliant. In that instant he looks like he's 25 again.
You the MVP
Thanks so much
Jerry Polci, with Don Ciccone on bass and Lee Shapiro on keys! That's worth the ticket price right there!! 3 of the mid 1970s Four Seasons! Oh What a band! I'm not sure why the guitar player said there were only 2 members on stage??

Gerry sings as good now as he did in the 70s. Where can you find a cd of the hit men? Lots of love❤️❤️
Loved watching the hitmen!!! I love watching Gerry Polci playing drums. I thought his poor arms would be hurting. If y’all are still together keep playing the good music❤️
This is fabulous, really enjoyed it. Gerry Polci WAS the Four Seasons, great singer, far better than Frankie Valli & a brilliant drummer. Oozes sex appeal too 😘😘😘
Far better than Frankie Valli????
Yes. He IS better than Frankie
I think he is awesome and incredible drummer...has a great voice but Frankie voice definitely has the best voice there is no one like him
@@jenniferlawrence9652 YEEESSSSSS!!!!!! FRANKIE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!
I think that Gerry has a different kind of voice than Frankie, but you need both of them for that song to do well in the 1970s. But I tell you what, Gerry did a fabulous job playing those drums and that voice! Nobody but Gerry could have done that song like he did! And YES, he definitely oozes sex appeal!
Really tight band. Gerry Polci has a GREAT voice!!!
The company that filmed and edited this performance did a fantastic job! Everybody got alot of coverage.

What darn great show you folks put on. I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Don Ciconne and sorry to hear that Gerry Polci no longer performs with you guys. I’m glad to see Lee Shapiro is still involved and if I may say I grew up with the 4 Seasons of the 70’s as they have been my all time favorite group.

These guys were awesome as a band and I just wish Bob Gaudio would have kept them all together. Good luck to all!!!!
Why does he not perform with them anymore for know the other guys know Shapiro is there
The Hit Men take me back to the days of my youth. Great musicians and wonderful harmony.
What a great band and many thanks to Mr. Frankie Valli for allowing them to utilize his catalog of great music.
They have the rigth to use the catslog not from fesnkie valli bit from the four seasons because this group have originals members from the four seasins. So those songs are their songs. What a night original was singing for gerry polci and here too in that song frankie walli just sings a little beat.

Russ is a great entertainer, Jim is an awesome guitar player, and Lee is a great pianist who good on the keyboard. Then there is Gerry who is fastastic drummer and singer. What a winning combination. Love these guys!!!!!
Just out of boredom, I wondered if Frankie wasn't the only Season still performing and stumbled upon this. Amazing!
Wow never knew he was still playing great would like to see in person
And I really liked how the different singers got lead parts to different songs. Really complements all of their skills.
¡¡Estos tipos son buenísimos!!!!!! y Gerry Polci es el mejor, que voz tan hermosa y gran baterista.
De las mejores voces ....cuando era joven.. .realmente polci tenia una voz excepcional...
Todos cantan bien tocan excelente interactuan con el publico.yo escuchaba su musica cuando era niña. Todos sus hits , what a night fue inolvidable. what a group !

Oh what a group!! I am so sorry I never saw them in concert!! Lee, Gerry,Larry,Jimmy, & Russ you were the best!!!!!
Is there a possibility of a reunion with this guys???? I think not, but nothing is impossible.
The guy who posted this died of cancer, and the rest retired, so yeah, it's impossible
