An incredible four act ’60s Rock ‘n Roll Revival roars into State Theatre New Jersey starring the Grass Roots, The Lovin’ Spoonful, the Brooklyn Bridge, and headliner to be announced!
The Grass Roots had many hit singles in the late ’60s and early ’70s, including three Top 10 singles, six Top 20 singles, 14 Top 40 singles, two gold albums, and sold more than 20 million records worldwide. Hits include “Where Were You When I Needed You,” “Let’s Live for Today,” “Midnight Confession,” “I’d Walk a Million Miles,” “Temptation Eyes,” “Sooner or Later,” “Heaven Knows,” and Two Divided by Love.” In 1982, they performed at the National Mall in Washington D.C. on July 4 to a crowd of over half a million fans.
The Lovin’ Spoonful had seven consecutive Top 10 hits, and only the Beatles and Rolling Stones sold more records in 1966 than the Spoonful. Hits include “Do You Believe in Magic,” “What a Day for a Daydream,” “Summer in the City,” “Did you Ever have to Make up Your Mind,” “You Didn’t have to be so Nice,” “Rain on the Roof,” “Darlin Be Home Soon,” “Six O’Clock,” and “Nashville Cats.” In 2000, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Brooklyn Bridge formed when the Crests’ lead singer, Johnny Maestro, joined the Del-Satins (Dion’s backup singers) and the Rhythm Method horn section. The Bridge still performs Maestro’s hits, including “16 Candles,” “The Angels Listened In,” and “Step by Step” in addition to their late 1960s hits, “The Worst Than Could Happen,” “Welcome Me Love,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and “Blessed is the Rain.”
