This was called the 'Happy Together Tour'.

A review from the New York Times can be read here: The reviewer wasn't too kind.

http://www.nytimes.com/1985/07/18/ar...t-pier-84.html

I enjoyed hearing all these old 60's pop songs. I think alot of you folks will enjoy it too.

The Turtles start off with the main riff for "Smoke on the Water", followed by a Springsteen cover and then into a Doors medley.

During The Turtles band introduction they introduce the lead guitarist Mick or Nick Pallis.

Says he used to work with a group call "Quiet Riot" ?!?! Prior to 1985 ?? Who the hell is this guy??

I used to be a fan of Quiet Riot and he was never "In" Quiet Riot. He must have been a guitar tech. Somebody please educate me...

They then play about 10 seconds of a really distorted snippet of "Cum on Feel The Noize". Then saying "We Don't Do That Shit".

Followed by "and they don't play us on MTV, except the closet videos when we were skinny."

"In fact, to get on MTV these days you gotta be Skinny, English or Gay". Mick 2 out 3!! funny guys......

The rest of the Turtles are a bunch of "stand in nobodys". But they do a good job.

I liked the Tommy James and the Shondells the the most.

When I heard "Crystal Blue Persuasion", I remembered that song was used in the last episode of "Breaking Bad". very cool.

Gary Lewis & The Playboys and The Grassroots also performed, but I don't have their sets.

Everybody returns for the finale and sings about a minute each.

Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy the show.

I've included a scan of several newspaper clippings inside this torrent.
