A wonderful group of terrific British rockers who came of age and became famous in 1964, the vanguard of the legendary Britsh Invasion that swept America and the rest of the world that year. MARVELLOUS!!
I am disappointed I missed this because the road conditions were bad - icy - and I wasn't going to risk my safety. Unfortunately, the Birchmere has a strict no refund policy which means I paid $ 75 for nothing. They should make an exception for customers like me are loyal and special consideration should be given to extraordinary circumstances like unplanned bad weather. So glad I did see the show in Annapolis at Ram's Head, so I can recommend the British Invasion as a superb concert. Peter Asher was wonderful as MC and singing his hits with Gordon Waller who sadly passed away in 2008. He sang Del Shannon's great song "I Go to Pieces," and three Lennon-McCartney tunes, "A World Without Love," "I Don't Want to See You Again," and "Nobody I Know." Chad & Jeremy were in fine voice performing "Summer's Song," "Yesterday's Gone" and "Willow Weep For Me" and very funny as well. Billy J. Kramer has a lot of energy, Mike Pender of the Searchers is a good guitarist, Denny Laine of the Moody Blues and Wings still performs well, and Terry Sylvester aptly sang the wonderful Hollies' songs including "I Can't Let Go."
This was by far the best event I have been too in a long time, It was great hearing all the old music that I grew up on. Everyone on stage was fantastic, there was not one person that did not give it their all.
A great show with some amazing performances! So glad Peter Asher came towards the end to sing. A great MC he was, but so enjoyed listening to him sing.
What a fun night! All the performers put on such a great show. Thanks for the memories!!
The British Invasion was great. All positive superlatives apply-great, fantastic, amazing, wonderful. Best concert I have ever attended.
THIS WAS THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER ATTENDED!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THEM TO RETURN NEXT YEAR! THE BIRCHMERE IS ALWAYS AN AWESOME HOST!
These guys brought us back to our high school days. Excellent vocals, great stage presence--an all around great show. Had everyone on their feet! Loved it!!!
Really enjoyed everyone's performance- nice to be brought back to another time and relive good times.
It was a good show but too long (3 hours). If the performers just sang their hits and not also 2-3 filler songs, it would have been a much better show. All performers still had good voices with a great backing band.
I'm a HUGE fan of music from this era, and have attended many shows highlighting 60's artists. However, in this case, I couldn't wait for the show to end. I was really looking forward to seeing Terry Sylvester, but he only did a few Hollies tunes and was done for the evening. Billy J. Kramer was pathetic, he looked like a beached whale with Prince Valiant's haircut. He was on stage for twice as long as TS; go figure. Chad & Jeremy were lame, and didn't seem to be particularly enjoying themselves; the same goes for Denny Laine. I've seen Peter Asher's one man shows (with backing band) before, and thoroughly enjoyed them. However, he appeared really tired, probably from his trip across the Atlantic a few days earlier. All in all, the spark is definitely gone for these guys, and it's time to retire. I'd strongly recommend you not spend your money on this one.
Chad & Jeremy - A Peter from Peter and Gordon B+ Mike from the Searchers B+ Denny Laine From Moody Blues B Billy J Kramer B The "band" lacked enthusiasm and were off tempo on at least two songs! I don't know who was in charge of the sound system @ the Wibur but the music /bass & drums overpowered the singers. All in all ...It was a pleasure to see them and it was a good concert. Something to appreciate as these 60's British rockers are getting really old and I might never get the opportunity to see them again!
Remember in 'A Christmas Carol' when the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to Fezziwig's Christmas Party? Scrooge is utterly captivated by the great time everyone is having. Seeing Fezziwig, he yells, "Look! It's Fezziwig and he's alive again!" Fortunately, none of the BI artists at this show had passed away. Gordon Waller of Peter & Gordon had, but he wasn't resurrected for this show. The point is, that for a few hours we were transported back to a GREAT time in our lives. We were able to hear music and see the artists who created it once more. To us, this is music that is as alive and vibrant as it was 50 years ago. These songs and these artists sounded just as good as if it were 1965. I had only seen Denny Laine prior to tonight. When I saw this concerts was coming and that Chad & Jeremy were going to be there, I got tickets right away. Chad & Jeremy were favorites, second only to The Beatles, but ALL of them were great to me. I'd have gone to see any them if they had appeared as individual acts. These were GREAT songs that were meant to be sung, not rapped. They were simple songs, expressing simple emotions, like love. Love in 1965 was all new to us. Everything then was new to us and we had our whole lives ahead of us to explore. We were invincible. This is not to say it was an old folks show any more than Lady Gaga or Katie Perry would be a young folks show. It is music, made to be enjoyed by everyone. It just happens to be our favorites. I was once in a club where Chuck Berry was going to appear. I was glad to see so many people my kids' age in attendance. Somebody my age came up to me complaining about how dare they attend OUR show. I never felt that way. It was about the music and the music had made it. In 1965, we used to insist to OUR parents that our music would still be being played and enjoyed 50 years later. We were right. How can I ever thank these GREAT artists for what they and their music has meant to my life? How can I thank them for such a fantastic show? Hurry back!
The show was very good, seeing some for the first time after all these years. Music was very good and I was amazed at their energy for their ages. Chad and Jeremy were fantastic!!!!! Peter was a great Emcee and loved the stories he had about each performer.
The show was great ....so good to see groups that I have loved since I was 12 years old ....especially Chad and Jeremy.
The show and the venue were great. Each act were fantastic in the own right, They played all the popular hits you grew up with. Getting to take pics and meeting them afterwards was an extra perk. I would be hard to put who put on the best performance because there wasn't a bad spot in the show. If they come around again, go see the show. You will not be disappointed at the least. Especially if you were of age when they first came over. I am so glad I went.
My husband, being English, was so excited to see all these musicians from the 60's, and he really enjoyed the show. The performance was great and Peter Asher was excellent introducing the acts. Even at their ages, they were still singing and rocking the night away. We would definitely see this event again. The only con was sound balance was a bit off.
The British Invasion Tour was wonderful. The entire show was fun filled and dynamic. The stars went out of their way to entertain and please the crowd. I would love to see it again.
Interesting assembly of talented performers from the past totally hindered by a terrible sound system. Not able to comment on the quality of the vocals because of that.
If you enjoyed the British Invasion, then this show is definitely for you. It was awesome. Peter Asher was the MC for the show and he performed at the end of it. It was a great show and I would Highly recomend it
