I grew up loving all of your songs, still love them today. Have had the pleasure of seeing your brother Booby in Florida with Joey Dee featuring all of your fabulous hits. He is a wonderful entertainer, and I wish him the best with his tribute to you and the Four Seasons. This music, which is REAL MUSIC, will never die. I grew up with this in my crib and will listen and enjoy for the rest of my life to come. There is no such thing today as it was when you sang and entertained all of us, no matter what age we were. PLEASE NEVER STOP. Sincerely and Best Wishes And Success For a Fabulous Future,

Terry Gattone

Thanks Audrey – I wasn’t at the show, I live on the other side of the country, but I felt like I was there as I read your great review! Every time you mentioned a song I could hear Frankie’s voice and got to live a little vicariously. Your review started my day off on a high note! (Get it? High note?) Seriously, Thanks for the review. I hope to see more of your contributions on this fantastic blog!

What a great summary, Audrey. I was also at the concert, and second your comments. Stewie was hilarious; I liked his explanation of why there are no Jewish football players: when they are tackled, they sue!

Frankie’s songs indeed brought back memory after memory, and the audience loved his hitting those high notes. And his dance steps on “December, 1963″ rivaled anything we see on “Dancing with the Stars!”

I’m glad the band was featured on “Swearin’ to God”, where I had my first chance to see legendary guitarist Matt Baldoni in action. One of my personal clients works at Fox Sports and I remember Matt well from his original compositions for “The NFL Show” in the early 2000′s. Coincidentally, my company’s commercial client is Gibson Guitar in Nashville, for whom Matt is an endorser. Your energy well exceeded my expectations, Matt.

I didn’t catch all the names of the Four Seasons, as they introduced themselves very quickly–but I too caught their geographical origins!

Nice journalism, Audrey. Move over, Ebert and Roeper!

Sounds like you had fun. I went to the one last August, it sounds like it was basically the same set up as the one in August.

There was only one thing about this I found kinda trivial is when you said that this concert was the one that was supposed to be in the summer. This one was after that one. They brought him back to the State theatre cause of popular demand.
