It is fun to see the old groups. Groups, of course, is a loose term now. I've seen Gary Lewis without the Playboys, Herman without the Hermits, Paul Revere and the Raiders without Mark Lindsay, Gary Puckett without the Union Gap, and the list goes on. It makes it all the more incredible to see the Rolling Stones still rocking together.

I have attended many concerts at Silver Springs by some of the 60s era groups and other entertainers and they are really not the same. Some of the songs are there but is mostly the nostalgia of seeing them together again.

Remember these people are in their 60s and 70s and still trying to entertain.

That's what makes the concert so incredible! That, and the fact that some of us finally get to see these amazing performers at last.

We're looking forward to Herman's Hermits.

Fifteen years ago they were having "a problem with the sound guy.." The "sound guy" was especially bad when they were hitting those high notes in "Cherish" and they somehow came out flat.

Peter Noone (Herman) is another story. We saw him in concert 20 years ago and again at Savannah Center last year. Super energetic and he sings as well as ever. He hasn't lost a thing. Somehow he's always lucky enough to get a good sound guy.

The typical "amazing performers" that show up at The Villages usually haven't had a hit in 40-50 years and you can typically count all their hits on one hand. I can't imagine any talented performers of even moderate stature scheduling in 4 performances at the Savannah Center.

According to Bimmert, I guess we shouldn't expect Paul McCartney, The Stone, Eagles, or Rod Stewart playing in TV for a long time.
