Happy Together Tour - 1985-07-16 - New York, NY (FM)

While critical attention in 1967 was focused on the psychedelic sounds of albums such as Sgt Pepper's and Surrealistic Pillow, the singles chart was still filled with breezy pop tunes and one hit wonders. Songs such as Windy by The Association, Incense & Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock, to Sir With Love by Lulu and Ode to Billy Joe all went to #1 on the Billboard charts in 1967. The Turtles has their only #1 hit as well that year, when Happy Together reached the top spot, knocking out Penny Lane in the process! The Turtles broke up in 1970, though the band co leaders,Howard Kaylan and Mark Volma, found a 2nd career as a musical comedy act known as Flo & Eddie. In 1985, the duo put The Turtles back together to headline an oldies tour, appropriately named The Happy Together Tour, after their best known tune! Also on the bill were Tommy James & The Shondells, The Buckinghams, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, and The Grassroots. This FM broadcast captures the Happy Together Tour on the Pier in New York, on July 16, 1985, 34 years ago today.
