The 2010s - #3: In the early 1960s, three quarters of this band originally played with Joey Dee and the Starlighters. When Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati and Gene Cornish went out on their own, adding drummer Dino Danelli from Garfield, NJ, the same town Brigati was from, they became the Young Rascals. Eventually shortened to just The Rascals, the band ran off a string of top 10 hits in the late 1960s, including 3 #1 tunes in Good Lovin, Groovin' and People Got To Be Free. It ended all too quickly, with the band coming apart as the decade came to an end. In fact, with the exception of a short set played at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, the last time the original Rascals played a full concert was in 1970. Then after 4 decades apart, the band reunited on April 24, 2010, at Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Grill, for a charity event for the Kristen Ann Carr Fund, where Steve Van Zandt and his wife, Maureen, were also being honored. When asked why they got back together for this event, Rascals guitarist Gene Cornish said: “I speak on behalf of the band when I say all the money offers in the world could not entice the Rascals to reunite, but four phone calls from Stevie and without hesitation we enthusiastically and immediately agreed to both support this wonderful cause and honor Stevie and Maureen.”. The association with Steve and Maureen Van Zandt eventually led to another reunion in 2012. Miami Steve and his wife produced The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream, a Broadway show featuring the band performing their tunes set against a backdrop of the history of the group and the 1960s, featuring interviews with the four Rascals, filmed scenes of actors enacting out key moments in the band's history, news footage, and archival footage of the band. The show was such a success that the Rascals took it off Broadway and around the country. This high quality audience recording captures The Rascals during that tour on October 10, 2013, 11 years ago today, in Los Angeles.
