Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Steve Mayo on June 19, 2013, 01:39:35 PM opened for them back in 1980..saw him in some group called tremblers....
Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Mikie on June 19, 2013, 01:48:21 PM I met Peter Noone at one of those oldies shows once at the Concord Pavilian. Real down-home personable guy. You'd never know he was ever a pop star. No ego. He paid more attention to my 15 year old daughter at the time who went with me. Must have held up the autograph line for 5 minutes while he leaned over and talked to her about music and piano lessons.
He deserves to be opening for The Boys. Plus, I still like his group - I think they're called "The Hermits" or something like that. Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!?

Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: TMinthePM on June 19, 2013, 02:36:59 PM The Hermits were a staple on AM radio during the peak years '64-'67. Many terrific tunes. Brings a smile just to recall.
Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Nicko1234 on June 19, 2013, 02:51:27 PM That's a great opening act isn't it? About 20 hit singles including some classics.

Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: pixletwin on June 19, 2013, 03:21:27 PM Saw him open for The Monkees back in the 80's. Cool stuff. It fits the radio nostalgia trip Mike enjoys.

Only guitarist Lenny Davidson and Dave Clark himself are left on this earth from the DC5..... But (and I just checked Wikipedia to be sure) all members of the classic Hollies quintet are still with us. Which may make it the very last of the classic '60s groups with its hitmaking lineup intact. (Or the last one in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame anyway....) Peter Noone's still one of the good 'uns. I always think of him in connection with his magnificent teamup with another of Her Majesty's subjects.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS4z4aRKptA Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!?

Allan Clarke retired from the Hollies in 99 and by the R&R Hall of Fame in 2010 had to be persuaded by Nash to sing dual lead. His voice was weak probably from his years of smoking. Saw them about 89 and still sounded good then. Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!?

It was not supposed to be a joke, if you mean that. I happen to work with 14-15 year olds, many of which are girls, and I do have fatherly feelings for them, so I hope I didn't hurt Mikie's feelings. Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Mr. Wilson on June 20, 2013, 04:52:54 AM Anybody ever notice "She"s Just My Style" Gary Lewis + Playboys has a BB vibe to it.?.Cool song..Also Carl Radle + Jim Keltner were in the band way back then.

To increase attendance at Michael's concert, of course. ;D Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!?

Should I have worded it differently? Sorry the visual of an adult man and a teenage girl talking to one another about music in front of a line of about 25 people made you uncomfortable. Hope it didn't sound weird to others reading it either. Wow. I sure as hell won't mention my family members again. Pervs..... Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!?

Glad to help in your education. ;)Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: PS on June 20, 2013, 10:51:59 AM Gary Lewis' records were beautifully produced by Snuff Garrett (I recommend the Complete Liberty Singles Collection) and featured the same Wrecking Crew folks we know and love and the sounds and style that we're familiar with (especially Leon Russell and Tommy Tedseco, who played that impossible for the band to reproduce Spanish riff on Sure Gonna Miss Her). Gary Lewis and The Playboys Golden Greats lp as good a roster of AM hits as any singles band of the 60's. Lewis had a perfectly bland, sometimes slightly nasal voice (could sing just like his father, as he parodied on Time Stands Still), but his voice thickened when double-tracked, and his timbre fit right into those harpsichord and chime textures. Unfortunately, Lewis' voice has not aged well, whereas Peter Noone can still carry his jaunty music hall tunes quite well, and with verve...
Speaking of FLo and Eddie, I just finished Howard's very entertaining autobiography, Shell Shocked. Recommended! Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Tricycle Rider on June 20, 2013, 03:49:19 PM Peter is really a nice guy. I've played with him in the past.
Peter really loves the Beach Boys, and went crazy for a SMiLE tape I made for him. He and Bruce know each other from being neighbors, so I'm happy they'll be doing something together. Hey Mikie, I thought your story was nice, so never mind all that other nonsense! :) Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Pretty Funky on June 20, 2013, 04:24:09 PM They are just as dysfunctional as the Beach Boys so a perfect fit. :lol

Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Lonely Summer on June 21, 2013, 10:56:55 PM Peter has aged incredibly well - no baseball caps for this guy! - and his voice has only gotten stronger with age. He's got a great band, too - a couple of them used to play with Gary Lewis. The one time I saw Lewis in concert, 9 years ago, his band really made the show. Gary doesn't have a great voice, but the band replicated those great arrangements on the old hits perfectly.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. The Beach Boys should be honored to have such a great talent as their opening act. And so should you, you ingrates.

Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: Mikie on June 22, 2013, 10:28:46 AM That's a great idea! Peter Noone's voice has aged very well - much better I'd say than Mike "Michael" Love's has! Mike's voice is so thin these days, he's gotta push everything he's got into getting a song out. Listening to the 50th CD today and it's sad - you can barely hear "Michael" singing the words. He's done.

He paid more attention to my 15 year old daughter at the time who went with me. Must have held up the autograph line for 5 minutes while he leaned over and talked to her about music and piano lessons. He deserves to be opening for The Boys. Plus, I still like his group - I think they're called "The Hermits" or something like that. I can't tell if people are saying he's not good enough to open, or too good to open.... When I was a teenager I went to several 'oldies' concerts... the best act, everytime was Peter Noone. Puts on a really great show. Another cool thing about Peter is, you can email him at his website and he answers all his fan mail himself. Really down to earth cool guy.

To sum it up, I'm for Peter opening Mike & Bruce's show(s). The most ideal choice for them. Title: Re: Why the hell is Peter Noone opening for Mike & Bruce!? Post by: PrayForSurf on July 07, 2013, 10:12:56 AM I remember my complete surprise when I recognized him as the lead for the Tremblers when they opened for the Beach Boys in Chicago in 1980 ... and, BTW, Rusten and Stebbins include that show in their just released Beach Boys in Concert book.
