The Rascals (USA)

Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish, Eddie Brigati and Dino Danelli are playing for the public on the same stage together for the first time in forty years.

There were plenty of reasons to cherish the Southern California return of rock ’n’ soul legends the Rascals on a chilly Thursday night at the Greek Theatre – not least being that such a once-unimaginable reunion happened at all.

It is hard not to consider the history of The Rascals as a triumph, but one that is tarnished by decades of acrimony and inactivity. One of the, if not the best, American bands to come out of the early-to-mid 60’s – and one of the only ones who not only survived the British Invasion, but topped the charts alo

These days, it's more associated with a brand of motorized wheelchair than a pioneering group of musicians.

The biggest hurdle to a contemporary music act making a Christmas show work is balance.

Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, USA

Like most bands that emerge from a cocoon to give it another go, vocalist Eddie Brigati, organist/singer Felix Cavaliere, guitarist Gene Cornish and drummer Dino Danelli – all originals aand accounted for – were here to reprise their hits.
