I saw the show last year. It was great seeing The Turtles, The Cowsills, The Classics Four and my favorite group, The Association. However, I wish that these wonderful groups could play some other of their songs at The Happy Together Concert Show. For example, The Association always seems to play “Windy,” “Never My Love,” Cherish” and they finish with the stirring “Along Comes Mary.” I’d like to hear them perform some other of their great songs like “Dubuque Blues,” “Requiem for the Masses” and “Goodbye, Columbus.” Similarly, Professor Mark Volman of The Turtles always seems to perform “You Baby,” “You Showed Me,” “Elenore,@ “She’d Rather Be With Me” snd, of course, “Happy Together.” I’d like to see The Turtles perform some of their other sings, like “The Battle of the Bands,” “A Guide for the Married Man” and “Outside Chance.”
A great finale, plenty of ORIGINAL talent. Please 🙏🏽 no one misunderstand me with what I’m about to write. It’s an insult to everyone on that stage regarding the three individuals wearing purple shirts, calling themselves The Vogues and not one ☝️ original member in that threesome. Great channel you have and just subscribed.
In all fairness to them. They traveled with two originals for many years .Hugh retired , and sadly Bill passed away. That's a sad reality with many of these touring bands . We're getting old . Neither one of the Classics 4 were original either.
@@robkenny100 I think it is in the sixties I saw most of the acts of the time including the Beatles twice but to me memories should remain just that and old picture you look at to remember times gone by, to see this people now stumbling on stage trying to sing their old music and butchering it , is really sad and they go only by name the original members aren’t there I saw Gerry marsden and it didn’t bring any joy because it wasn’t what I remembered I think he died shortly after that, have you seen Phil Collin singing on a chair, struggling to get his sound back, and walking away with the help of a cane that to me is really sad , to me if I want to remember I listen to the old records, watching all these has beens remind me that I too am a member of that club, and the music you hear them trying to sing now is not what you heard back then, and it only brings tears to my old eyes, don’t get me wrong with all think differently I’m only giving my opinion and if watching all these seniors trying to hang on bring people joy more power to them, I need help crossing the streets and I know it and when I try to do it on my own It’s really sad the only difference is that I know my limitations, maybe in a few more years you will think the same as I do, like Elvis once sang, memories written in the pages of our minds, how prophetic don’t you think? You stay safe my friend thank you for reading my rant,if you really want to hear old music search you tube and really find out how it used to be 🙏🏼👍🏼
I was probably around 5 when most of these bands were popular.But it was a great time to be a kid then.The world was different back then and people just treated everyone better.Yes there was turmoil,but believe me it was a better society 55 years ago.....
In June of 2023, Mark Volman of the Turtles disclosed that he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. At one point, when I saw them in July, Mark tried to introduce the band and was getting confused. Some band member shockingly said, "Can't we get someone else to do this ?". In this clip, a month later, you can see that Ron Dante is really caring for Mark. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last we see of Mark on stage.
@@TheJukeboxjim Yes, you can really see it in Mark because he always was a really sharp guy. It is painful to watch and it makes me think of my own mortality.
@@TheJukeboxjim You can see a recent interview with Mark. Do a TH-cam search on, "TURTLES FLO+EDDIE HAPPY TOGETHER Tour MARK VOLMAN!". To be blunt, he sounds better than what I would have expected.
Bob Miranda of the Happenings, who still tours, sang one of his hits, and said, "here's one I hope you'll remember it. Better yet, I hope we'll remember it."
Gary Puckett was a member of our church's worship team one season back in 2004 when he lived in Rancho Bernardo, CA. He sang a medley of Union Gap favorites one night, and the pastor's secretary asked him to leave "Young Girl", "Woman, Have You Got Cheating On Your Mind," and "Lady Willpower" OFF the line-up due to the lyrics about extramarital affairs, underage girls and passionate lovemaking ", but he got mixed up thinking they were requests instead of songs NOT to sing. Gotta say, that was one evening of cringe none of us will ever forget. Gary is a sweet guy, however. It was a comical misunderstanding and we didn't rub it in...too much.
@@robkenny100 Solid down-to-earth sort. I saw a youtube video where he did a command performance for a fan in Florida who was on their deathbed. Dang near cried.
hey if the rolling stones, Paul McCartney, Ringo , Aerosmith, Metallica etc can do it let the pop rockers do it , go back and listen to there music , beautiful
Music is timeless. It keeps you young.
How amazing is this!!! What an era for music! Just magical! 🤩
Proof that real talent never dies. Neither does the great times this music comes from. So glad I grew up back then.
Happy to see Mark Volman giving his all, continuing the Happy Together Tour.
They have all still got it! They leave us wanting more.
love this!....and btw Susan, You and your legs are My crush after all these Years!!....from Mex
Una generación que va llegando a su final, una generación maravillosa que alegró nuestro siglo. Hasta siempre!
My childhood. Great memories and I still have the records
Love seeing the front row view. I never get to. Thank you for posting this. It was a great show. 🤘🏼👍🏼
We go to this show every year, 30 songs in 2 hours and everyone knows all the lyrics. Always a fun time

Saw them at the Peak in June. Little Anthony was the highlight for me. Hope to see them again next summer.

Thats messed up... I just saw them last weekend

This was fabulous. The music world does not have these types of songs anymore. :(
Music is no longer being produced anymore. All you hear is boom-boom, hip-hop, rip-rap, crap 💩
➡️☮️🌍🙏
They’re old hippies and they don’t know what to do. Should they hang on to the past or…
Where is the other guy from the turtles
Howard Kalyan retired from touring several years ago.. Ron Dante replaced him…
@@robkenny100No Kaylan means NO Turtles.
@@holden190Mark Volman was there, I wish Howard could have been too.
Actually Omaha was last stop
NOT the Turtles The Turtles are Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan. No Howard Kaylen there. It’s Ron Dante of The Archies. A FRAUD
Ron not a fraud. Lead voice "Tracy" and Sugar Sugar"
The musicians are good that’s about it.The Turtles.Really???
No Howard Kaylan means no Turtles.
Should be praying for those unable to be there.
That has to be the saddest thing I’ve ever watched people you loved as a teenager still hanging on to memories 🤦🏼♂️
It’s not sad at all!! As people age, they enjoy remembering their youth!

Totally awesome, keeping love and music alive…Young at heart…don’t be so cynical…lighten up man

Susan was being so sweet to Mark, it was good to see.
Sadly in the many videos of these shows , you can see Mark isn't as sharp as ge once was. It's sad.
@@TheJukeboxjim Yes, you can really see it in Mark because he always was a really sharp guy.

@@michaelterry1000 That's why we should savor these moments while we can.

Thank you for posting Happy Together Tour 2023 finale/medley!!!!
Mark Voorman is pretty goofy..but did a lot of great music

Jeez my audio childhood just flashed before my ears. Awesome that they are all still doing their thing.

😆Great story!! Thanks for sharing!! He’s always friendly to the fans too!!
Great story...Gary truly was The Voice back in the 60s... I remember his songs on the radio back then and I'm still singing them now. What a legend.

The Archies were there too? I saw no cartoon characters on stage! 😄😅😚
What a fun finale!
60s music...the greatest !!!! I hope I can get a ticket to see this show next year. It sold out this year in 20 minutes.
Great bunch of people
Saw them last night 8/31 in Des Moines, great show
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nothing personal, but this was a bit scary. . . . . . . . .
hey if the rolling stones, Paul McCartney, Ringo , Aerosmith, Metallica etc can do it let the pop rockers do it , go back and listen to there music , beautiful
Just curious but were both Flo and Eddie there?
Only Flo was there… Eddie retired a few years ago, and was replaced by Ron Dante of The Archie’s..
