Salute To the 60s

We had a great time. I would have paid the ticket price to see any one of the three bands. Grass Roots were fabulous - they played their favorites and some newer music - their voices were wonderful. Then the Buckingham's came on also wonderful, great voices and music. Couldn't have been better. Finally, Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits came on. I've never laughed so hard at a concert before, again music was great and Peter's voice is 100% wonderful. I know it must seem odd to the musicians that so many of us come to hear them but also sing along but that's what we did listening to them on a transistor radio! way back when. We'll make this an annual event. Well, worth any ticket price! Also, very accessible for anyone handicapped.

Once again this show provided a trip down memory lane through the music I listened to back in the 60's. Pleasant memories of high school, dances, and dear friends were shaken loose from the cobwebs in my mind. Since I went with my BFF since high school (over 53 years of friendship), there were a lot of "remember when" moments for us. We look forward to coming to this show every year. It is a chance to slow down and take a moment to remember when all we had to worry about was what dance was coming up and who we'd be going with. Definitely helps decompress from the crazy junk going on in the world today. The "meet & greet" after each group is also a great way to get your album autographed or just say hello to the groups.

Have seen this show five times. Enjoyed every time

Had a great experience!!!!! The Star Plaza treated us very well. Meals were delicious. Show was such fun. Liked not having to worry about paying as we went!

Davy Jones was horrific and we would never go to see him again even if the tickets were free. He talked way more than he sang and told jokes that were not at all funny!!!!

Been going for a least 20 years the show is great love it.

This show had been at the Star Plaza Theatre in Merrilville In.for over 25 years. Moved to the Venue this year due to Star Plaza being shut down. Great music by The Grass Roots, Buckinghams, and Pete Noone( Herman s Hermits). Energetic and lots of fun. Will be back next year for sure.

Loved Herman s Hermits!! Totally going to see them again! Great show!

As usual, all three bands were incredible. Can t wait to see them again

Went to see theGrass Roots and they were so awesome but the big surprise was Peter Noone! What a performer! He really gives his all, in the vein of great Vegas entertainers.

Saw Salute to the 60's for the 27th year in a row last Saturday night. That statement alone tells you what a great show it is. The Grassroots and the Buckinghams were both great as usual. Then Peter Noone with his Herman's Hermits comes on and the energy Peter puts out with all his great songs is amazing. His voice is even better than it was in the 60's and he seems to have a lot of fun doing the show. Thanks to Charlie Blum for all the years he has kept booking this show, even though they tore down our theater and he had to find a new one!

This is the second time I've seen this show and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time!

I ve seen Salute to the 60 s concert more than 5 years in a row. It is always amazing. I plan to go again next year too.

The whole entire experience from the Venue to the Salute to the Sixties was by far the best out of five years in a row I ve seen this show!!

The Show was as good as always. A little different atmosphere than we are used to. The seating at the Venue is great. Doesn't appear to be a bad seat anywhere. Peter Noone is definitely our favorite.

I would see the show again. It was great! Could go year after year.

Loved all of the show including the Grass Roots and the Buckinghams. Always putting on a great show. I will be back to see them again.

The Grassroots were great. They did all their hits and sounded fantastic. Nice tribute to the Veterans. Class act. The Buckinghams still have their terrific sound. The brass brought me back to the sock hops, and the tribute to Chicago was spot on. Nick's solo was a display of his many talents. Loved it. Peter Noone and the Hermits were spectacular!! They get better all the time. What showmen. The Tom Jones, Johnny Cash and Mick Jagger sets were phenomonal. Peter has an incredible range and is so talented. He kept the audience so engaged. He is truly a master entertainer. All three bands really enjoy what they do and it shows. I can't wait for next year.

This was the fourth time of seeing this show and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. GREAT SHOW!

Brought memories from my youth Peter Noone was superb

Took my husband to "WELCOME TO THE SIXTIES" show for his 60th birthday. Excellent! All three bands were great! Especially enjoyed Peter Noone featured with Herman's Hermits....very talented and quite entertaining! Highly recommend....a fabulous fun show!!!

The Buckinghams and Grass Roots are very good but I feel they need to spice up their show. Peter Noone and the Hermits really get you rocking - the flag in the back and the Hermits in the same clothes adds something to the overall appearance of the show. Of course, Peter is very funny and entertaining. I have been to many of their performances and always come away feeling good with fond memories of the 60's. I will be there again and again.

The bands sounded just like they did in the old days. Buckinghams rocked a couple of old Chicago tunes and they brought it! New Grass Roots lead singer Mark Dawson made Rob Grill smile in heaven. Peter Noone always puts on a fantastic show.

This was a great show with lots of old songs to bring back memories. The Grass Roots started it out. They were really good. Up next came the Buckinghams, my least favorite of the three bands. The finale was Peter Noone and Herman Hermits. WOW, what a great performance Peter puts on. His voice is unbeleivable and he is very entertaining. Loved the show!

I had very high expectations for this show...to the point that I probably could only have been disappointed. Instead, the show was so much better than I could have imagined. This is one I will not soon forget.

We have been going to this show for about 15 years and have never been disappointed. The music always brings back great memories. The Buckinghams were wonderful as usual. Peter Noone was terrific and really entertaining.

Great venue for a concert. Always a good time.. FREE Parking..

Herman's Hermits was spectacular as always. The Buckinghams, (who I have seen a zillion times) have made some band changes for the WORSE. Where did Bobby and Tommy go?? This band is just marginal without them. The new guitarist? I don't even know what to say. Horrible...a little scary, to be honest. ..and his (?) guitar blinded us through most of the show. Such a disappointment. I know the Grass Roots lead singer Rob Grill passed away, but the new singer is just so-so. I have looked forward to this concert every year for about 15 years....not so much anymore. Next year, I'll just get there for the Hermits...and skip the other two.

the music was very good. The bands were still first rate. Had a blast.

The Herman Hermits were the best of the evening. The other groups were great because they brought back memories for me when I was a teenager. I will never forget the evening because the groups brought back memories for my wife as well. We both enjoyed the evening. Very enjoyable.

Excellent performace by all three groups. Performance started on time and break time between group, for set up changes, was perfect.

This was at least our tenth year trecking to Northern Indiana to see the Salute to the Sixties. The Buckinghams have been there every year and are by far the most terrific and together band on the "Senior Tour"! Carl, Nick, Bruce and the Buckinghorns are amazing! Peter Noone never fails to disappoint and this year was no exception. We were deeply saddened with the passing of Rob Grill. It is difficult to hear the Grass Roots perform the songs that Rob used to sing. It is just not the same. Nevertheless, as long as The Buckinghams return, so shall we....

THE MUSICE WAS GOOD. BUT THE STAGE SET UP WAS AWFUL, YOU COULDNT EVEN SEE THE DRUMMER, NO SECURITY WAS PRESENT, VERY FEW PEOPLE TO HELP YOU TO YOUR SEATS. THEY WERE SELLING POPCORN IN THE THEATRE, THIS WAS NOT A BALLGAME! THEY DID NOT ANNOUNCE THE ACTS AT ALL. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO STAR PLAZA BUT IT RUINED MY NITE AND I BOUGHT VIP TICKETS. PROBABLY WON'T BE BACK AND I'VE BEEN GOING TO THESE SHOWS FOR 20 YEARS. SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED!!!!

The concert itself was amazing. Had great seats. Awesome view.

Awesome! A real enjoyable night out. All the groups gave it their all and their audience participation was great too. Lots of energy and fun.

We go the the Star Plaza every year and we are never disappointed. What a great concert. The Buckinghams were excellent as usual and Peter Noone was really great and very entertaining. He puts on a wonderful performance, has a great voice and he is quite a showman.

The 60's salute was represented by 3 groups, the Grass Roots, Buckinghams, & Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits. The music was memorable and the sound was good. We preceeded the event with the Dinner package that was offerred. The food at the Star Cafe was excellent. I would recommend going to events at the Star Plaza this way since you get preferred parking, good food and service, and better seats!

This show never fails to entertain those of us who grew up in the 60's!

THE GREATEST HITS BY THREE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 60'S. JUST SUPER TASTIC .. ALL SONGS SUNG AS ORIGINALLY SUNG BACK IN THE DAY. THEIR VOICES WERE RIGHT ON. SANG ALONG WITH ALL SONGS. GREAT ENTERTAINERS ALL. OUR THIRD TIME SEEING THE 60'S CONCERT.

So much fun!! All three bands were awesome!! Peter Noone was looked great, sounded great and was so funny. Great night!!

The entire show was great. The Buckingham's excelled as usual, and Peter Noone was the ultimate performer. We paid plenty to sit in the VIP section, as we always do. This year security was non-existant as far as I am concerned. There were kids at the stage throughout the entire event and during the last 3-4 songs the aisles filled up with people from the "cheap seats" blocking our view and creating a safety hazard. If we had wanted to go to a free-for-all, wrestling would have been the choice. Obviously someone in charge was asleep at the wheel!

Excellent. Can't wait to go again next year. The refreshments are way overpriced.

Had a great time. Wonderful music. Very nice that you stay right there and can walk.

GRASS ROOTS WAS A LITTLE BIT JERKY AT FIRST BUT GOT IT TOGETHER LATER BUCKINGHAMS WERE GREAT AND PETER WAS GREAT BUT MISSED VANCE AND ALL HIS MOVES

all 3 groups were very good. we'll be back........

Peter Noone was as great as he always is. Looking young and bouncing around the stage singing. He comes to the all the edges of the stage and plays to everyone, not just the ones in the middle. He is energetic, funny, a great mimic and his voice just gets better and better each year. Peter also acknowledged the loss of his friend Rob Grill from the Grassroots. The Buckinghams were great as always. Very personable and also playing to the entire audience. Carl and Nick's voices are as good as ever. I was disappointed in the Grassroots. Of course, I knew that their star and lead singer had died last summer, Rob Grill, but I was really upset with the group that they didn't mention or acknowledge Rob at all during their performance. They did a nice job musically, but the distinctive voice and wonderful personality of Rob Grill was really missed.

Opening act, The Grass Roots, were okay. Not the same though with-out Rob. Miss ya Rob. Second act, The Buckinghams performed flawlessly, wanted more. Outstanding. Final act, Hermans Hermits with Peter Noone. First time seeing Peter perform. He's still got the pipes to perform those favorite classic songs as remembered from the 60's. Great job Peter! Over all a great concert.

Excellent show. All three bands were worth seeing just by themselves

First up were the Grass Roots....they had the audience from the first song. Fantastic lineup and the music was tight! Next was the Buckinghams with all the Buckingham hits and with a special CHICAGO tribute. Unbelievable big sound! And finally Herman's Hermits closed the show. Peter and the band had fun with the audience and played so many hits. Great memories, great bands an extremely fun night! I would highly recommend this show to any 60s music fans!

The show was great. The time went by too fast, always wish the show could go on longer...

This show was absolutely awesome - as it is every year! The only downside was that Rob Grille wasn't able to be there - I think he was in the hospital.......but, the remaining Grass Roots,Buckinghams, and Davy Jones of the Monkees was absolutely awesome! My only suggestion would be that Davy talk less and sing more, more more!!!

The concert began with a too short set by the Grass Roots, unfortunately minus Rob Grill. Sound mix was bad - too much lead voice, too little harmonies and keyboard. Next came the Buckinghams, who did a nice job despite a sound mixer who was unable to give the group their characteristic sound. Where do these sound guys come from??? The show closed with Davey Jones, who talked and joked more than he sang - more like a nightclub act than a concert, and way too long. When he did sing, though, it was pretty well done. All in all, not the concert I expected, which it probably could have been with better sound mixing. I have been to several of these 60's reunions, and unfortunately this one was the weakest of them all.

great show!!! The Buckinghams were fabulous, the Grass roots were very good without rob, and Davy Jones was good but should have sang more. He didn't even do I Wana Be Free!!

My wife & I had a good time in the show. Listening to the songs reminds us of our teen years happy days. It brought back sweet & sad memories during our yesteryears. It's fun to see Davy dancing and he still got the moves. Also, maybe he can cut back on his jokes and add more oldies songs. Overall, the show is great!

This was our 10th or 12th year for the Salute concert. We always have a good time, but this year were a little disappointed in the show. Rob Grill was ill, but his stand-in did a fabulous job! We really missed the Buckingham's drummer and lead guitar. The replacements were okay, but they did not have the stage presence of the previous musicians. Davey Jones was very good. We've not seen him before. However, we really enjoyed seeing Peter Noone and his Hermits and feel his performance is a better fit with the Grass Roots and the Buckinghams. Hope they come back next year!

This was the second time being there.Was an awesome concert. Will be back again!!!

Rob Grill just had surgery and wasn't able to make it... the Grass Roots still did a fine job - played about 1/2 hr.; The Buckinghams played about 45 minutes and brought their "A" game... Davy Jones... WOW.... he puts on a great show... he does a lot of stand up comdey - mostly silly stuff that you would expect from the 60's but it really made you feel like you got to know him. His voice is terrific... he is very kind.... a couple of girls brought him flowers and he acknowledged them quickly and set them aside... he really blew my socks off. He seems to be quite the nice fellow and I was crazy about him when I was 13 and I'm crazy about him at 56.

We enjoyed the whole show Everybody was really good The Grass Roots even without Rob Grille was good The Buckinghams were great as always Davy Jones was ok Thought he would come out and sign autographs but he didn't Little disappointed on that

My husband have I have been attending Salute to The Sixties for a couple of years. We have enjoyed each one. It really takes you back to a time where things were a lot more simple. We hope there will be many more!

my husband and I loved the concert. We had great seats and enjoyed every minute. Even without Rob Grill to lead the Grassroots... the band was great!!! The Buckinghams did not disappoint!! I had seen them years ago at the Star Plaza.. and they were great then, too. We especially loved their salute to the group Chicago... it was so awesome!!! Davy Jones was funny and endearing. We wish he would have sang more Monkee songs, but all in all we loved his show.

Show was awesome, did miss Rob from the Grassroots. Popcorn was dry and crumbly needed butter. Pop was not sold by the vendor, very disappointing. Hot dogs might have been nice also. looking forward to the Monkees coming to town. Also, love the Cryin Shames the best of your oldies shows. Didn't throw out any tee shirts or CD's kind of disappointed.

I would have liked the Grass Roots to play longer. They have many good songs I did not get to hear. Davey was funny. I enjoyed his comedy as well as the classic Monkees songs.

Brought back GREAAAAAAAT Memories of A Special Girl who is now my Wife !!!!

3.5 hours for pur enjoyment. The Grass Roots were great even thou Rob Grill was ill, the Buckinghams...fansatic and Davey Jones funny and enternaing

Great show. We missed Rob Grill but his replacement was very good and we wish Rob the best. The Buckinghams - (our favorite) was fantastic as usual and very entertaining. Davy Jones also did a wonderful job. Loved the show and looking forward to the Monkee Reunion Tour.
