About
THE BUCKINGHAMS IN CONCERT:
The sweet sounds of the '60s are alive and well with sunshine pop veterans The Buckinghams. It's been half a century since the band first rose to fame with upbeat favorites like "Kind of a Drag", and today they transport fans back to pop's golden age whenever they perform. Classic hits like "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" sound as good as ever, and the group's signature lush harmonies and resplendent orchestration have stood the test of time. With their classic showmanship and catalog of nostalgic pop hits, The Buckinghams make fans fall "Back In Love Again" every time they take the stage.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The Buckinghams formed in Chicago in the mid-'60s at the height of the British Invasion then sweeping the nation. They achieved regional success with early singles like "I'll Go Crazy", and in 1966 things really took off when they shot to national fame with No. 1 smash "Kind of a Drag". They followed up with a string of Top 20 hits that included "Susan" and "Don't You Care", and in 1967 Billboard named them "The Most Listened-To Band in America". Despite their popularity the band was unable to maintain their early chart success, and in 1970 they called it quits. But not all was lostóin 1980 a Chicago radio station invited the group to perform a reunion show, and they've been back at it ever since with a lineup that includes original members Nick Fortuna and Carl Giammarese. In addition to touring regularly with bands like The Turtles and The Grass Roots, the band made a triumphant return to the studio in the '00s with popular albums like Live and Well (2006) and The Joy of Christmas (2008). They immortalized their legendary live shows in 2010 with the live album Up Close: The Buckinghams in Concert, and they continue to carry the torch for sunny '60s pop every time they perform.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Better and Better!
by zantac on 10/13/21The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasThis group knows who they are. They are great musicians who have a certain number of songs that they had hits with in the late sixties. But that does not make a show. So they use their great instrumental abilities to create a show out of stories, and the famous songs that inhabit those stories. The talent of the two original members of the group are eclipsed by the lead guitarist, who is phenomenal. The banter between Carl and Nick never gets old, and the audience shouldn't either! I will see them as long as they keep coming!

by elkhunter on 10/12/21The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasThe show was much better than expected--it was awesome and definitely worth the time and expense to fly from Wyoming to LV just to see it !! Wish the band was on our Oldie's cruise this march and back on the Happy Together tour.

by Carrots on 10/12/21The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasOMG what a great show - this show was incredible and I'm so glad we went. Very entertaining. I remember this group group from that 60's and they still got it. So glad they are still performing. Sure brought back a lot of memories and I knew all the words to all their songs. Can't wait to see them again.

by Jillers on 10/11/21The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasThe Buckinghams played all their hit, paid tribute to the era and did a great tribute to "Chicago" the band named for their city. They sounded great in a nice small setting. They had a good band that really put on a show for us.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Good music and took everyone back to the 6o's.
by rma4850 on 9/11/19The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasGreat music and their medleys of the old rock and roll bands were great. Turtles, Tommy James & the Shondells, Chicago, Grass Roots, etc. I think they only sang about 5-6 of their own songs, but it was their greatest hits. The show was longer than a normal show and lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Funny stories about their beginnings and events.
Rating: 1 out of 5 The band was great, the singers were terrible.
by Patty on 4/10/19The Showroom at the Golden Nugget - Las VegasThe lead singer turned off his mike whenever he started singing. When he spoke to the crowd, we could hear him but the band was playing he just lip-synked all the songs. The other singer did the same thing. Very disappointing. On the way out of the venue, other people agreed about the lipsinking. Don't bother unless you just are okay with listening to the band.

I will see them whoever they come back to Vegas!,,
