Hey everyone
Been awhile since I last posted. I was wondering if any of you went to any Rascals Once Upon A Dream concerts in 2013? Does anyone know why they have broken up since they cancelled shows at the end of 2013 and havent played since. If any of you went, did anyone purchase a book sold at the shows called The Rascals Visual Biography by Joe Russo? I am looking to buy one but cant find one anywhere. Any other stuff floating out there among collectors? Cheers everyone.

Didn't get to see any of the reunion shows - they never made it to the NW. I have seen Felix Cavaliere's Rascals a couple times and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been in Joe Russo's facebook page for a couple years, and nothing has really been spelled out other than there was a disagreement about what musicians were to back up the guys onstage. I'm guessing Felix wanted to use the guys from his band - he probably felt bad about them losing out on work with him during the reunion. They really waited too long to reunite anyway. They are sort of a forgotten band. There's been next to zero presence of the Rascals in recent years - no major cd projects, dvd's, books, etc. Just Felix touring with his band. Dino and Gene had their own band for awhile, the New Rascals, but I don't think they were able to get much work, although I did see them on one of those PBS specials.
