@@powerpopaholic876 Sorry to disappoint, but no it is not. I was there in the audience, front row, eight feet from Sammie, close enough to hear her without the mic. She sings in tune, as do the other two ladies. They all grew up in church choirs, and two of them studied Professional Voice at Belmont U in Nashville. You don't get into private art school in a Voice major without first demonstrating you can sing in tune.
This is the result of many hours of dedicated practice and hard work. Remember that all these people have other lives and most have other jobs. Fantastic.
What I've been saying for years - I ran out of superlatives to describe the harmonies, lead vocals, and rock solid backing from the fossils so now I just add a comment to say so.
The entire group is made up of musicians. There are no persons who were selected solely becuase they were just cute. This group is solely real musicians, and they make very good music together.
@@kevinkelley3657The band was formed specifically to highlight the 2 cute girls who could really sing Sammie and Maggie. Tims full time band for 20+ years was the Mustangs. Now this little "side project" is in its 13th year.
These old tunes, my tunes, just takes me back to ‘the old beach’ - 17 years old - blasting on the radio, all my friends playing fresbee or swimming or whatever. So glad I’ve found a band who put a fresh coat of paint on my youth and does the music justice. This band, F&F, is ‘my band’. Thank you so much, F&F! ❤️
I always look forward to Maggie's smiles as well as Darwin's musical genius. Chase is a powerful voice and she has a captivating smile as well when it's available.
I was at that concert, the first one, on Thursday night, in December, and it was all simply amazing. Better than I could have hoped for and every song for me was as good as or better than the original. This whole group is just something very special, every member, and they are my favorite cover band...period. I also liked those couple of originals as well from the concert. This song was just as good as I remember. Thank you F&F.
dont…oh yes! I was twelve when The Beatles hit the US in ‘64 and suddenly music was important to me. Then all the amazing music that followed seemed to just flow in and out like it all just belonged there. Of course looking back now we realize what an extraordinary time of music it was!
Just wonderfully beautiful live music. The singing and playing is top-top notch. They meld together just like they do in their studio. Impressive!!! Thank ya'll for sharing with us - so very grateful.
Hands down, the BEST COVER BAND in America!!!! It's uncanny how much Tim sounds like Dennis Doherty and the ladies' harmonies are gorgeous and very tight! I never tire of going to their TH-cam channel and re-re-re-listening to all their videos. 😍
Ladies, Gentlemen and team, this is a phenomenal performance. The Mamas and the Papas were truly a wonderful group and I enjoyed their music. As good as they were, you had to love Cass. She was something else. What voices they all had.
Oh? Sounds wonderful! I love exploring the older Foxes and Fossils vids where so many of their covers of loved songs bring up so many memories of loved and missed friends. 🌺
Fact: John, Denny, Cass and Michelle were great. Music, lyrics and harmonies 5 stars. However you folks are outstanding. Whatever the song EVERYTHING is spot on. Continued great success from a long time listener in suburban Chicago. I am in awe. STILL!!!
Kick back, close your eyes... and just listen and enjoy..........no need to say anything..... because the smile on your face and the memories it brings back says ot all.........
These people are the best just no words to describe the talents of them all, amazingly professional so in tune and better then the original artist. I just can't get enough of them and I can't wait for the next video to come out. 😍🌞🌠
Excellent. This brings back memories of late 60s AM radio and the Haight Ashbury vibes from the Mamas and Papas. As a teenager then I saw them on multiple tv variety shows back then and on my hand held good ole transistor radio. Good times...Thanks guys for all you do...
Foxes all grown up & Fossils looking "Like Fossils"! Such God given talent! Amazing artist! " STOP AGEING "! This country needs you more than ever! Love you guys! Your right up there with the best ; albeit minus the super-star accolades!
... goosebumps ... as good as, if not better than the "older" studio version. I am so grateful to have "discovered" this fabulous group way back in 2018 ... Foxes and Fossils you continue to make this 74-year-old young again. May God continue to bless everything you do ... THANK YOU ... 😍😍❤
Live. It was a live performance. That was mind-numbingly good. Lead, harmonies, guitars, everything was spot on. And done live. And someone else mentioned how good the sound mixing was... Wow.
Beautiful to the point I’m Mississippi dreaming bout moving to California or Atlanta. Y’all are the best from coast to coast!!! I just love y’all so very much!!!
My lord, I love this band. Watching them sort of ‘grow up’ on TH-cam has allowed a connection with them and other fans. They’ve never lost that personal connection and never will. As a fan I can’t help but cheer them on. And the fact that the video crew has always maintained that same F&F feel just adds to the experience. Great tunes, good folk, excellent video, music production, talent, and history. Well done!
That was Tremendous! I wish I was there to give the ovation! Well Done. Vocal blends like that are as rare as they get! I love that you all have stayed together to entertain and inspire the rest of us! Fan for life in Maine, - Scully 💖
What an incredible performance! The backing vocals are like a samurai sword compared to a butter knife -- they slice through me in the most ecstatic way!
Their sound man since 2014 is Doug Godbold.(Toby did it before that) Tim does the video editing (9 cameras used) and mixing for the youtube videos. Runs it past the Patreon patrons and Doug before the videos are released.
I just discovered them today. I am certainly a big fan of this group. Excellent vocals!
Very nice ... Harmony is spot on..
The Fossils keep getting older & better!
Good to hear another standard classic brought up to date. Thank you.
Brilliant. I'm 70+ years now and grew up with this music and I can truly say that your performance is amazing,
ahhhh, 70 here, I hear you!
Same here.These guys, gals ARE good@@johnrogers9481
Wow! I can't believe what my ears have just heard. Bravo!!!
The best group of singers of this generation, I love them, perfection.
Which of the two generations?
@@markkmiecik9797 Both
Sounds great. It is autotuned..
They're good, but that is a stretch.

This is the result of many hours of dedicated practice and hard work. Remember that all these people have other lives and most have other jobs. Fantastic.
Love this group its great to see them having fun playing music again.
Listen up folk's. Wonder what real music sounds like ?? Just listen to these guys. No Autotune, Just real talent. God bless you all, Jim
F&F's star was rising quickly just before March 2020. The last couple years shot them into the heavens. God gave us all a great gift to get by. :)
Foxes and Fossils..........And Memories! Thank you So Much! Cheers From Ohio
Wow! Ten years and I’m still listening to your song.
I've totally given up trying write something to express my feelings about this group....words cannot do justice to this excellence and purity

A breath of fresh air in these tumultuous times.
Their vocals are simply top tier and so is their instrumentation ... I'm always impressed ...
My favorite on TH-cam. The attention to detail is incredible. Such talent from all of you.
Awesome band covering great songs and doing it live is amazing.
Love this band, absolute class.
Lead guitar is awesome...what a group...absolutely amazing
Another master class rendition for us mere mortals. Thanks from Texas. We all love you.

I wish they would do more live concerts. They are fabulous.
I have the same which , but not during the holidays this time.

I discovered this band by chance and I was enchanted! I can't stop listening to it! Congratulations!
My lord!! Just beyond words how great this is!! And live!
It’s difficult to sound this good outside the studio.
Bravo!! Love it!
I always look forward to Maggie's smiles as well as Darwin's musical genius. Chase is a powerful voice and she has a captivating smile as well when it's available.
Wow I keep on coming back to the 2 guitars duet. The whole band is another level. Tim can definitely kick it!
Incredible, luved this song 55 yrs ago , u foxes and fossils brought tears to my eyes with a truly manificent sound that captivated the original, wow!
Great instrumentalists, great vocalists, great choice of music, and I love the name of the band.

Thank God for the songwriters who wrote the original material ....weren't we lucky to live in an era that will never be replicated. ..ever..
Me too Jim, awesome!!!

California Dreaming a superb rendition of a classic hit . The best group I’ve ever heard on U Tube . Love from Australia 🇦🇺
In the studio or live on stage, the result is the same. Incredible music by a group of talented musicians and singers. Wow!!
I love this tune for years and you all did do so very well here, Mam &Pap will be proud of that!
What a most excellent retro flashback, long live the 1960’s !!!..🤘🏻
Just wonderfully beautiful live music. The singing and playing is top-top notch. They meld together just like they do in their studio. Impressive!!! Thank ya'll for sharing with us - so very grateful.
My favorite song of all time, GOOSEBUMPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys always nail it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah!!!! Awesome job! The harmonies are perfect. One of my favorite tunes.
I love it when Toby and Darwin harmonize with each other on the guitar.
I would love to see Them in concert!
This is why, 15 months later, I still adore this band. No spin, no record company cynicism. Just pure talent. And ticket bought for the concert!
Hands down, the BEST COVER BAND in America!!!! It's uncanny how much Tim sounds like Dennis Doherty and the ladies' harmonies are gorgeous and very tight! I never tire of going to their TH-cam channel and re-re-re-listening to all their videos. 😍
Now THAT's how you sing/perform California Dreamin' !!! Simply wonderful.🥰
Here comes my school days back to me! This was a favorite song of mine and you did it justice.
Ladies, Gentlemen and team, this is a phenomenal performance. The Mamas and the Papas were truly a wonderful group and I enjoyed their music. As good as they were, you had to love Cass. She was something else. What voices they all had.
We’re still here listening and loving the music so please don’t stop , I find your music so refreshing.

Concert pay per view May 5-8.
As a 22 year old LA born and raised native, this song always feels like a flashback to a different time of life here.
The studio version of this was the first time I saw foxes and fossils. I’ve been hooked ever since! This live version was outstanding!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent. This brings back memories of late 60s AM radio and the Haight Ashbury vibes from the Mamas and Papas. As a teenager then I saw them on multiple tv variety shows back then and on my hand held good ole transistor radio. Good times...Thanks guys for all you do...
I couldn't even imagine in my mind how anyone could cover this song this well. Outstanding.
The best group of singer ever ! I love them !
I cannot finish my day without listen Love is The Answer.
I'm from Brazil and I've been following you for five years. The first song I saw you singing was exactly that. My congratulations on the talent.
Foxes all grown up & Fossils looking "Like Fossils"! Such God given talent! Amazing artist! " STOP AGEING "! This country needs you more than ever! Love you guys! Your right up there with the best ; albeit minus the super-star accolades!
Wow, wow wow what an amazing job! Awesome harmony, and fantastic musicians!👏👏👏👏
Obviously the foxes are a revelation but I can't get enough of Tim's lead vocals, so damn good! Man, this group is special.
This song was #1 in 1966. I was born December 12th of that same year. This song has a lot of meaning to me.
So good to see this band performing in front of a live audience again. :-)
Everyone in this group is spot on. These people should be getting national airplay. This is music!
F&F turn every song into magic!! What a fine group of musicians!!!
Absolutely amazing performance. Few cover bands can pull this off with this much skill.
Yes yes yes! 🎶 Always tight and served with love. Thanks for sharing your talents. Just what we need. ❤
Just bought my ticket!!! Pretty pumped to see the show...love these guys!!
Oh gosh! What singers!! What a solo guitar break! WOW!!!!
F&F : astonishing !!!
Thanks so much!
Both Darwin and Toby playing that
Ah, that’s a double-lead guitar solo! But they highlight only one guitarist.
The Foxes, the Fossils = perfection. Thank you!

The harmony is incredible. You guys are a national treasure!🤩
Grew up loving M&P, now love F&F breathing new life into their songs!!
I come for the Foxes and stay because of the Fossils! Dig those guitar duets!
Another of my top favorites. The ladies Harmony sent chills down my spine. I just love this group.
There all really good players and a joy to listen too. Great band so musical and the ladies are on point as usual.
Brilliant... Outstanding... Extraordinary... Exceptional... Magnificent... etc etc.
Yeah, what R J said !
Beautiful to the point I’m Mississippi dreaming bout moving to California or Atlanta. Y’all are the best from coast to coast!!! I just love y’all so very much!!!
So mutch talent on that stage. Greetings from Norway.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
And Tim is just as cute as ever ! What a great group of artists !!
Foxes &Fossils. Great band love their music, good to see them back together again they,d do well here in the UK. Alan/Liverpool /England.

What an incredible performance! The backing vocals are like a samurai sword compared to a butter knife -- they slice through me in the most ecstatic way!
0.22 when the girls first break into harmony … amazing!!
Been watching them since that first video at the pizza shop. Sammy has really grown up into a very pretty young lady.
Incredible, F&F!!! Just incredible.
All the way from Holland (Netherlands), thank you guys ! Amazing cover, best harmonies ever❤
Spring 1965, surfing in Daytona Beach, Florida with my future husband. You brought me right back there. Fantastic!
I listen, and I happily smile contented
Darwin is becoming quite a rock star with his superb lead guitar! Fine rendition, as good as their studio version.
Once again you all have performed flawlessly. I love your music especially the old hits of the 60’s & 70’s.
As good as everyone on stage is, whoever they have mixing and recording is equally talented.
