Dickey Betts-Happy Together Tour 2013

We got started early today with an earlier load in since we didn't have the tv show today.  We did have a church service on stage so we ended up loading the first band in, Dickey Betts at 10AM.  The entire day has gone by smoothly and actually has been so easy it's boring.  :)  Dickey Betts did a great show but was disappointed that he could only perform for 60mins.  He even made it known from the stage.  However, we stick to the 2PM show only being 60mins long because of the restrictions already being tight on time for the evening show.  The crowd loved him and they really packed it in for a 2PM show.  

The Happy Together Tour 2013 consisted of Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night and The Turtles.  The show has ONE band that backs everyone.  The lead singers come out and perform about 25mins each leading into the Turtles 40 minutes or so.  Do the math and it's a long show!!  They are even speeding up the process getting everyone back to the hotel and picking up their bus drivers a half hour early.  This is their last date on the tour so they're pushing to get home as well.  I will certainly take it.  It's another birthday celebration tonight!
