The Doughboys - the hottest band in the New York / New Jersey Metro Area - are Rock and Roll legends. Formed in 1964, the group took the Doughboys name in 1966. Myke Scavone ( Lead Singer ), Gar Francis ( Guitar ), Richard X. ( "Richie" ) Heyman ( Drums ) and Mike Caruso ( Bass ) reunited in 2000 - after 35 years - and have been blowing audiences away - inside out - ever since.The Doughboys are favourites of Little Steven, who features them on his Sirius/XM Satellite Radio Underground Garage Channel.
The Doughboys went straight for George's acerbic / insightful / witty side, starting with a powerful version of "Taxman" ( "Revolver" ), followed by a rollicking "Don't Bother Me" ( First song written by George to appear on a Beatles Album - "With The Beatles - UK / "Meet The Beatles" - US ), an electrifying "I Me Mine" ( "Let It Be" ) and a very determined "Think For Yourself" ( "Rubber Soul" ).
The Doughboys concluded their incredible set with "It's All Too Much" - a song from the "Yellow Submarine" Soundtrack. The group sent waves from the stage that took off to the ends of the Universe.( "Yellow Submarine" - from "Revolver" - was adapted to become The Beatles only Feature length Animated Cartoon. )
The Doughboys performance left the audience absolutely reeling.
After the only Intermission of the Concert, it was time for Roberta Flack.
Roberta Flack is an icon of music - one of only two artists ( the other being U2 ) to win back to back GRAMMY Awards.
