About this concert
An incredible multi-act '60s Rock 'n Roll Revival roars into State Theatre New Jersey starring the Grass Roots, The Lovin’ Spoonful, the Brooklyn Bridge, and more!
The Grass Roots had many hit singles in the late '60s and early '70s, including three Top 10 singles, six Top 20 singles, 14 Top 40 singles, two gold albums, and sold more than 20 million records worldwide. Hits include “Where Were You When I Needed You,” “Let’s Live for Today,” “Midnight Confession,” “I’d Walk a Million Miles,” “Temptation Eyes,” “Sooner or Later,” “Heaven Knows,” and Two Divided by Love.” In 1982, they performed at the National Mall in Washington D.C. on July 4 to a crowd of over half a million fans.
The Lovin’ Spoonful had seven consecutive Top 10 hits, and only the Beatles and Rolling Stones sold more records in 1966 than the Spoonful. Hits include “Do You Believe in Magic,” “What a Day for a Daydream,” “Summer in the City,” “Did you Ever have to Make up Your Mind,” “You Didn’t have to be so Nice,” “Rain on the Roof,” “Darlin Be Home Soon,” “Six O’Clock,” and “Nashville Cats.” In 2000, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Brooklyn Bridge formed when the Crests’ lead singer, Johnny Maestro, joined the Del-Satins (Dion’s backup singers) and the Rhythm Method horn section. The Bridge still performs Maestro’s hits, including “16 Candles,” “The Angels Listened In,” and “Step by Step” in addition to their late 1960s hits, “The Worst Than Could Happen,” “Welcome Me Love,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and “Blessed is the Rain.”

The Lovin' Spoonful Biography
The Lovin' Spoonful were America’s answer to the Beatles!
The band, led by John Sebastian, Steve Boone, Joe Butler and Zal Yanovsky, exploded onto the charts sending their first 7 singles soaring onto Billboard’s tip-10 charts virtually overnight. The Spoonful formed in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1965 at the Night Owl Café’ and signed to Kama Sutra Records. They appeared on every major TV show of the era: The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullabaloo and Shindig! Their first single, “Do You Believe in Magic,” flew to the top of the charts and was followed by an unprecedented string of hits including: “Daydream,” “Younger Girl,” “Summer in the City,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice,” “Darling Be Home Soon,” “Jug band Music,” “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind,” “Lovin’ You,” “Didn’t Want to Have to Do it,” “Rain on the Roof,” “Six O’clock,” “Nashville Cats,” “Coconut Grove,” and “She’s Still a Mystery (to Me).”
The band was so influential that such music legends as Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson cited them as forces of inspiration as did so many others. John Lennon call them “tunesmiths!”
Today the Lovin Spoonful tours with founding member, Steve Boone, and Jeff Alan Ross, Bill Cinque, Rob Bonfiglio and Mike Auturi. Together they faithfully celebrate the rich, good-time catalog of hits that made them one of the world’s most beloved groups of the ‘60s.
The Lovin Spoonful was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
