Thank you for posting the concert schedule. I have been waiting to hear who will be there. We will be going at the end of May so unfortunatly it doesn't help us yet. Any idea on when the rest of the schedule will be announced? I am so disappointed though because some of the people I really wanted to see will be there before we arrive. I especially would have liked to see Davy Jones.

I always look forward to the Spring and Fall (and now the Sounds Like Summer) concerts. Here are my thoughts...

Guess Who- Decent band but just isn't the same without Burton Cummings

Peter Noone- Saw them once at EPCOT, never liked the original group that much.

Rob Grill & the Grass Roots-I always try to get over to see Rob. He's a local guy! Still has the raspy voice...

Peter & Gordon- Missed them last year but I have seen them recently on PBS. I'll see them this year in person.

Mickey Thomas & Starship-I have never missed seeing them at least one night when they come to EPCOT! I always catch all three sets, and even my wife enjoys the whole night! Great group, but now even better with the addition of Stephanie Calvert who takes over Gracies parts. Must be good if they have 5 nights! I'll change my work schedule to see them at least twice next year...

BJ Thomas-Still a good singer, very little charisma on stage.

Tokens-Only a couple of the original people left but an excellent group, a lot of fun and one you will be pleased to hear! I'll be there two nights, for all three sets again next year! Hmmm... they also have 5 nights! Great entertainers!

Davy Jones- Walked by once and heard him singing...

Looking forward to seeing who they will find to fill in the gaps.

These are my own personal reviews and do not represent the views of this website.

Buckinghams-1999, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007... Excellent vocal group!

Chuck Negron/ 3 Dog Night- 2000...

Felix Cavaliere's Rascals-1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006... Good old time Blue Eyed Rock n Roll Soul!

John Kay & Steppenwolf- 1999... get your motor runnin...

Eddie Money- 2002...

Gary US Bonds- 2005...

Eric Burdon & the Animals-2005...

Gary Puckett- Every year... hope he will be here again next year... Won't be the same without him!

Just in -

A Disney press release indicates that both Jose Feliciano and Paul Revere and the Raiders will appear again in 2008, but dates have not been annnounced yet.

 

[DenverDave]

Found on the Cowsills Web Site!

 

[daannzzz]

Who are the Tokens and why do they have to be playing while I am there???

 

[daannzzz]

Okay. So I looked them up. They have that famous song. Voices are nice in that song. Maybe they will be pretty good.

 

[DenverDave]

I saw them last spring and they were terrific - very personable and a terrific show.

One of the first record albums I received when I was a kid in the 60's was of Petula Clark! We'll be at WDW one night (Easter) after a cruise - so hearing her would make it worth fighting the crowds.

I've heard Davy Jones 3 years during the Flower Power concerts, and he is still very entertaining and pretty nice to look at!

 

[Stitchfans]

We will be at Epcot on Easter Sunday also. Also plan on stopping by to see and hear Petula Clarke.

 

[rcraw45425]

OMG, Petula Clark. I was listening to 60s on 6 on XM the other day and they said she was turning like 75! She can still sing though.

 

[slimplaw]

I saw Jose Feliciano there last year and his concert was excellent. He was quite a musician.
Our favorite in the past has been Arlo Guthrie, but he has not performed there for at least the last 2 years.

 

[rcraw45425]

Between F&W & Flower Power we've seen Mickey Thomas twice, the Grass Roots and Three Dog Night. The funny part about seeing Three Dog Night was we had just paid to see them and AMerica in concert in our hometown and the F&W concert was actually better, sound wise.

 

[CarolinaBlue]

I hope Paul Revere and the Raiders will be there sometime during our trip (May 20th-25th). We saw Peter Noone last year. We enjoyed that show very much. I would love to see Davy Jones one year.

Has Mark Lindsey been with Paul Revere and the Raiders when they play? I haven't really seen anything about them for awhile.

 

[flyinglizard]

nope, Mark Lindsey won't be there...

The Tokens put on a great show!

 

[DenverDave]

Two additions:

March 25-29 Paul Revere and the Raiders
April 14-16 The Happenings

My advice - don't miss Paul Revere and the Raiders. Their show is hilarious and very entertaining.
