All performers in this show were great! Great to see Doo Wop still draws a large crowd to keep this music going forever.

From the time the curtain went up until the end of the show we were thoroughly entertained. A fantastic performance from a great entertainer. The entire room (the show was sold out) sang, applauded and were on their feet the majority of the concert. This was the second time I have seen Kenny and the Planotones perform and I can honestly say it was the best concert ever. Yes, they are "aging"....but you would never know it from their performance....they sound better than ever and the energy they project from the stage....there are no words to describe it. Looking forward to attending many more of their concerts.

We love the oldies and the show was the best concert we have every seen. The show was amazing and at times breathless. What a performance. You will never regret seeing this amazing talent.

Great to see him at a small venue and by themselves. They were totally amazing as usual. I was just born when Jay and the Americans were famous, but something about his voice attracted me to his music. The show was only an hour and a half (wished it was longer), but he packed in all his famous songs. My favorites are Cara Mia and Looking for an Echo. I was lucky to get front row seats, it was such a great night.

Kenny Vance came out in a gold jacket with black lapels! He looked so terrific. His voice was in top form as the whole room went into the trance when he started to sing Cara Mia and hit those high notes and stayed there for minutes. He is just amazing. Chip and Frenchy were awesome too as they sang their Philly song Hard to Say Goodbye. Johnny Gale played the hell out of his guitar. Everyone should not pass up the chance to see this wonderful band! They are definitely ONE OF A KIND! Trust me you won't be disappointed! Kenny Vance & the Planotones ! 8th Wonder of the World!

Another amazing performance. The oldies but goodies live on. The projection of harmony with unbelievable dimensions of high and low notes is mesmorizing coming from gentlemen who have truly been blessed with the gift of song. An amazing travel back to a time when life was simple and real music dominated the airwaves. Entertainment at its best! I did not want the show to end. Thank you Kenny, Johnny, Frenchy, Jimmy and let's not forget Chip and Tony, for yet another unforgettable evening.

Kenny Vance and the Planotones DO NOT disappoint. Every show is better than the one before. This one was one of the best - can't wait to go to the next one in June. There has never been a group like this - they hit the grand slam everytime they walk on stage.

Show was enjoyable, music very entertaining, venue seating could have been better, not theatre/stadium seating. Kenny Vance and the Planatones always my favorite, but felt it wasn't his best show. He needs to mix it up a little more. Maybe he just had an off night.

I Really enjoyed hearing Jimmy Clanton, Shirley Alston Reeves, Jay Seigels Tokens and Kenny Vance and the Planatones. It was a joy to reminisce about all the music I grew up on. All in all it was a very enjoyable concert.

There was great talent that was ruined and distorted by the poor quality of the sound and the fact the bass was cranked all the way up, the seats vibrated and it made listening very difficult.

I have seen Kenny Vance and the Planotones many times. They are always fabulous, but this show was the best so far. Kenny's voice was smoother and stronger than ever. The rest of the Planotones were also terrific. I think that they deliver all of their songs better than the original artists...and of course Kenny's original "Looking for an Echo" always excites the audience. "Cara Mia" and the tribute to Johnny Maestro, "You'll Never Walk Alone" got standing ovations, as did some other songs. The audience was great; it was clear that the house was full of Planotone groupies. The guys seemed to recognize this and had a longer than usual encore.

Without a doubt it was one of the best concerts we have ever attended. We really enjoyed the question and answer portion and also Kenny Vance's speaking about his early years in the business.

American Idol Doo Wop show was the best they have done in the history of the show. No one does it better than Kenny Vance. A true talent that keeps the sound alive. Amazing performer, can hits notes like no other. Don't miss this show.

The show was incredible. 2 1/2 hours of fabulous doowop. Kenny's voice sounds like that of a 25year old. Don't know how he hits and holds those notes. The Planotones, etc were superb. Truly a 5star experience. Only negative-nothing to do with performers-theater apparently sells drinks all night long. Many participants were far too drunk. Not only annoying, but then they must drive home.Drinks should be limited.

You have to be amazed that the Planotones are still the best group around. The whole crew are professionals. Kenny can still hit the high notes and what really makes me glad is the personalities of the whole crew. No prima-donnas here! Thanks guys and keep hitting those big ones!!!

I attended for the 5th time in the past 4-5 years a Kenny Vance & the Planotones concert and well they just keep getting better.This particular show was indeed the best as they entertained a full house in excess of 2 1/2 hours with memerable doo wop songs from back in the day. Kenny was at his usual awesome self hitting those high notes with having the audience shaking their heads in amasement wondering how he does it! I'm already looking for when the next Planotones concert will be somewhere in the area because i'll be there!!! Can't wait!!!

Been waiting a long time to catch a performance by KV that was not part of a larger Doo Wop show. This performance was definitely not a disappointment. Even got to meet him after the show which was a treat. A genuinely nice person. Thoroughly enjoyed the show!

What an amazing show ! I have seen them perform many times and this time was no exception. They played for 2 hours, and had a question and answer period in between. I would recommend these guys to anyone who likes doo-wop music.

The Kenny Vance signature song is LOOKING FOR AN ECHO which memorably depicts what was a new music of the 50's with young artists to present day as oldie music performed by oldie artists. Unlike some other groups still on the scene, Vance is still vital, has maintained his voice and charged the show with Johnny's arrangements and his diminished chord talent and interaction on the stage returning an echo of yesteryear with an even better sound that it was back then. Stamina of almost two hour performance even with back problems is notable. I guess the adrenaline really kicked in when they did an unplugged encore. We were almost out of the door but returned for performers that appreciate their adudience as much as their audience appreciates them.

Unfortunately, the sound system at the Pepsi Roadhouse was forgettable. Very poor for all three acts; terrible for The Planotones...could see Kenny's lips moving but could not hear his first three songs. Would highly recommend Kenny Vance &The The Planotones, truly a great act. However, I would NOT recommend the Pepsi Roadhouse as a venue to see them. On a positive note, the food was excellent.

We went to this show and we were very disapointed in the food and how the show was run, the opening act was good but started way late, and when the Planotones finely did perform the sound system was just sad and no one did anything to fix it. The show was billed as Kenny Vance and the Planotones they never came on till about 10 pm and only played for an hour, not what we exspected. This group is the best but the road house was a BIG JOKE in how the show was billed and handled. short on staff,Poor food, and poor sound system we will not be going back there anytime soon!!! PS this is for the the road house only. Kenny Vance is the BEST oldies group EVER!! Never any problems at any of there other shows EVER!!!!!

I thought the entire concert was great. Donna and Mark Groom and the Four Townsmen did an outstanding job opening up for Kenny and the Planotones. There seemed to be quite a few problems with either the microphones or the soundsystem or soundman. Several times the entertainers had to address the issue. The food wasn't good at all. Everyone was complaining about the quality. I know it is difficult to feed that many people but I believe they should change the menu.

I don't think that we will plan to go back to the Road House any time soon. They pack you in there way too tight, it's so dark you can't even see what you're eating, and the food was nothing special. There were 3 acts and the sound system was screwed up for all three. Each act was good and we enjoyed them. I love Kenny Vance, but he needs to change his show up a bit. It's always the same songs, same shitck. He has so many great songs. I'd like to hear more of them.

As usual, Kenny Vance puts on an outstanding show. The 4 Townsmen have really stepped it up a notch in the last couple of years, and do a great job as well! The Roadhouse is nice, but the audio on the first two acts was sub-standard. Once the feedback issue got handled, it was good.

I have been a fan of the Planotones for a while and have seen them several times in the past, but always in a show with other acts. This is the first time I have seen them do the entire show. Their versatility is incredible. Whether a ballad or an up tempo song, their doo wop harmonies are always perfect. The show was well paced, and the entire audience seemed to have a great time.

An entire evening of Kenny Vance and the Planotones ! Not sharing the stage with remnants of other recording groups, Kenny Vance once again proves himself to be the master of do-wop. What a treat !
