The
Happy Together Tour Wednesday August 31st 8 PM at the
Canfield Fairgrounds
The
Happy Together Tour stopped in Canfield and despite the pouring
rain they then played on.
The
show was a success despite the conditions and my family and I watched
from the cheap seats in the covered grandstand. It was the first
concert that my wife and young son has ever seen and they enjoyed the
experience very much.
The
cotton candy was $4 and water was $2 and soda pop and popcorn was $3.
They were selling t-shirts and CD’s also but I didn’t check to
see their prices. Covered stands seating tickets were $25 and seating
on the track was $35.
The
assigned seating really didn't matter too much, as there were plenty
of open spaces where you could move around and change if you liked.
The stage was not very big, but again that did not matter much as
there were projector screens on both sides giving you the up close
look from farther away. It did rain throughout the whole show, so we
thought being in the grandstand was a better idea.
The
show was at the Canfield Fairgrounds and began at 8 PM with the
Cowsills. Of the Five acts that performed I think the Cowsills may
have stolen the show. They just shined through the evening with an
abundance of happiness, noticeably more so than with the other acts.
Gary Puckett wowed us with his big hits, his distinctive voice is as
strong as ever, and made sure we noticed he was still able to wear
his famous blazer from the sixties. He and the Cowsills were the
highlights of the show.
Mark
Lindsay the Paul Revere and the Raiders front-man gave us “Cherokee
People” and “Arizona” along with a few others and had the crowd
really going. Chuck Negron, one of Three Dog Night’s front-men gave
us memorable performances of “Mama Told Me Not To Come”, “One”
and “Joy To The World.” His voice was the most powerful of the
night's performers. The Turtles finished off the evening in fantastic
style, they opened the show spoofing Adele’s Hello and making
Caitlin Jenner jokes, pointing out how they just missed out on being
The Beatles by three letters and how that cost them billions. In case
you’re wondering the evening was filled with lighthearted humor
that appeals to an older crowd.
On
this night, unfortunately the Spencer Davis Group did not perform due
to an illness. The five acts that did perform played on through
miserable rainy conditions and were all really great.
You
could tell by the crowd interactions and sing-along that they are
followers of this Tour that comes to town every year. The Happy
Together Tour is a great show for the family and you should
check out their website to stay up to date and catch them in concert
if you can.
If
you wanna talk about bang for your buck, you won't do better than
this show for sure!
