Jordan Cole was the keyboard player. I agree that the keyboard player was not great, but he wasn't the main part of the show. The man you are referring to is Russ Guigere and is one of the three original members of the group, according to their website (

My wife and I enjoyed the show. Our complaint is that the music drowned out the vocals a lot of the time. I think they need to fire their sound man. As far as the quality of the vocals, have you ever heard the Beach Boys or Bob Dylan live? A lot of bands sound different when they aren't in the studio and also after several years have passed, so we went in not expecting to hear them sound like they did 40 odd years ago. All in all, we thought it was a very good show and left feeling like we got our money's worth.
We're looking forward to Herman's Hermits.
