I was one of the back-up singers here. I've been looking for this for a long time. It was an hour show, and so great to see so many songs in a row. Thank you so much for posting. Brings back lots of great memories touring with Frank and the Seasons.
I know a band member from The Countrymen, they opened for Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons in 1978 at the Baltimore Civic Arena in Baltimore, MD. While The Countrymen were on their last set, Franki Valli came out and said that he liked the way they sounded and wants to do his opening numbers with The Countrymen. I was wondering if there is any other video from 1978 or if that show was recorded for sale on cassette and/or if it was re-produced on CD.
@FrankieValli-ys7mb I am doing fine; how are you doing? I will always be your #1 fan. I am now in my late 60's, and that concert was my best birthday ever.🤗🫂
Does it make you feel brilliant to say that? He's good, but he's not underrated. He's under-exposed. People can't "rate" him if they're not even aware he exists.
Here it is 2021 and I still remember the vocal parts. I remember this show in particular. It was upstate NY. Now my friend Don is gone and I’m much older. It was a marvelous experience. I was guitarist and background singer and one of the four seasons. Great stuff. Thank RUclips.
You know, I agree. He seems to have dominated Billboard charts almost at will, even as he aged, so the sales are there. The songwriting of Bob Gaudio is incredible, with help from Crewe of course. But yes, they're definitely underrated in the fandom. I think with the Jersey Boys musical, and now the movie, they're starting to get a little more of their due. Insane that these guys are STILL gaining in popularity, after all these years.
It doesn't matter; all of us who grew up with the 4 Seasons still love Frankie Valli. He's a real survivor! These songs take me back to my High School years.
He’s been lip syncing his concerts since 2006. If he actually was singing his songs these days, he would get much more respect. But, perhaps his voice is no longer what it was prior to 2000.
This group of Four Seasons were so awesome ! They all could sing and play. Not been like this for some time. I miss a band of Four Seasons and not just singers.
always a super performer, I hired him 1989 to do a concert in montreal at place des arts, 2900 seats were filled, it was a great evening for everyone and technion-the beneficiary.................
In 1985 me and my wife and family members went to atlantic city and we were eating in a cafe Frankie came in order something from the waitrist and i called him he came over and talked to us what a nice guy. He gave all his autograph and asked if we had tickets for the show and we did so he said goodbye.
I love the four seasons. I still have their albums. I am 75 now but when I play these songs it sure brings back alot of good memories. My husband of 55 years and I liked to dance to this music. My husband passed away 3 years ago but like I said this music still brings back good memories!
Man, what a voice. Gyp was right, gift from God for sure. Thanks for all that great music Frankie, Bob, and Tommy and Nick as well. Talk about standing the test of time... my three year old was singing to himself and dancing to 'Let's Hold On' the other day. Certainly generations to come will be hearing these incredible songs. I think these guys, though more overlooked somewhat, contributed as much to music as the Beatles, Stones, Muddy Waters.... anyone you can name. For me they did anyway, and I grew up in the 90's...
Oh you are so right on with your comment. The Four Seasons are a great American Band who came on the seen before The Beach Boys and Beatles, but are never given the credit due, never. The Four Seasons are the only band to have a number one hit before, during and after the Beatles. No other American Band can claim this achievement, not a single one. If take Frankie Valli’s number ☝️ hit records and the Four Seasons, they have almost twice as many as The Beach Boys who happen to be a favorite band of mine as well as the Beatles.
My group opened for this iteration of the group in 1974 right before the 1975 releases of the big hits. Don, Gerry were amazing. This was in Plainfield NJ.
those were songs you could listen to at any time, & with anyone,, don't feel like we get that these days, like no romance in the air like back then, or maybe it's just me
The Seasons were terrific-Been to many shows from NJ to Florida and never saw a poor performance.Always first class especially the original group of Frankie,Bob Gaudio,Nick mask & Tommy DeVito.In their early days as the Four Seasons just after they started hitting the charts they used to perform at Gerry Sheehan’s Beach House in Keansburg NJ where they used play as the Four Lovers before they became the Seasons.Frankie has one hell of a vocal range.
In the Fall of '62, I was a junior in HS ------------and i still remember hearing " Sherry " on the radio, & wondering just who these " 4 Seasons " were ------------well, when i saw they were 4 Italians / Sicilian guys from NJ-------------it all made sense to me.---------From then to today, I still love their music ---------all of it. That said, " Candy Girl " & " Soon " are my 2 favorites, of all-time. ------------------4 Seasons, 4-Ever. ------------------------------MJL, 74 y/o
Michael, in the very early 60's my grandparents and their friends took me and their daughter to Euclid Beach in Cleveland, Ohio. I didn't care for their daughter so I wandered around by myself and came up on a band just starting up.....THE FOUR SEASONS!!!!!!!! Never heard of them before but hearing them drew me in. I sat through their whole show totally enthralled. My favorite song that night was Candy Girl. Was Bob Gaudio on keyboard? Anyway, everyone was totally pissed at me 'cause nobody knew where I was that whole time. Best night of my young life. CV, 73 y/o
I like all the songs, but the 3rd song, "My Eyes Adore You", in particular bring me back good memories of 1974 when I was 14 years. I was in love with this girl and the song reminds me of her. I remeber the 70's were very laid back years to live and not like today.
@@DanimalistBoot , yup, but now you have crazy Trump, Covid-19 and all its variants, the monkey pox, terrorist attacks, weekly mass shootings, road rage, the stratospheric rents and mortgages, high price of gasoline, food, crazy weather every where, the meltdown of glaciers and icebergs raising the sea levels, traffic congestion everywhere, over population, explotation of natural resources, and the list gies on and on and on. You can not compare 70's problems with today's.
Wow! So many of these songs I heard on the radio and loved, but never knew who was doing them!! DJ's rarely give singer's name - at least on stations I heard - Now I have to get his albums on my iPhone!! They were great! And, I've heard of his songwriter Bob Gaudio for a long time....go figure! The Jersey Boys movie must have really re-activated his records ....
I can really hear the nuanced expressions in FV's voice and style. He's displaying the greatest influence in his performance by the chairman of the board himself Frank Sinatra
Frankie Valli can SING! Can't Take My Eyes Off You FAILED TO CHART in the UK!!! December 1963 Oh What A Night was the Four Seasons only UK No1 hit single.
Los años pasan tan rápidos me acuerdo que era una niña cuando escuchaba tus canciones preciosas y ahora voy a cumplir 60 años estoy viej italiano pro saber música es única ha talas generaciones que vengan eres genial tu música no muere fantastico
Aside from valli's then wife while singing my eyes adored you, there are some beautiful and downright gorgeous looking girls in that audience. I say this with all due respect, nothing but a bunch of pretty faces, Wow!!!!
I think this was around the time Frankie was having hearing issues but don't quote me on the time frame. Polci has a great voice and sounds similar to Frankie's. He was also married to Frankie's daughter Toni. This is timeless music and few reach that status.
Es verdaderamente increíble que esté prodigio de hombre siga cantado perfectamente a sus 88años. No cabe duda: el don de Dios. Los músicos, estupendos. Dios los bendiga por llenar nuestros oídos de tan hermosos sonidos.
Nunca podré olvidar a este hombre. Sus canciones me enamoran y todabia sigue activo, este año cumple 89 año creo que en mayo 3 si no me equivoco lo amo 💕.
Thank you for posting. The Jersey Boys film that Clint Eastwood produced about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is entertaining. Frankie Valli himself will be featured on PBS " A Capitol Fourth" on July 5th at 3:30 PT.
Nimrod Unfortunately he can no longer hit the high notes. Approximately 8 years ago I did the Ryder for his show in the city I live. Frankie and the Four Seasons performed their songs with the orchestra. What the audience was not aware of was they had piped in the music. Therefore, the audience believed Frankie was hitting those high notes. He has been back to the city where I live. The venue I work for would not re-book his show. He has performed at a much smaller venue. Johnny Mathis on the other hand is still incredible. His voice hasn’t changed.
That drummer has an excellent voice and very good on drums!
Gerry Polci, hell of a talent he has
I was one of the back-up singers here. I've been looking for this for a long time. It was an hour show, and so great to see so many songs in a row. Thank you so much for posting. Brings back lots of great memories touring with Frank and the Seasons.
thank you Hali, I was sixteen when this was on TV, seems like yesterday!
MrSeasonologist
I wasn't much older...
that 70s group was the best, I am a bit bias,yes but they helped keep the sound alive.thanks for your post, how was Frankie and bob to work for?
I know a band member from The Countrymen, they opened for Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons in 1978 at the Baltimore Civic Arena in Baltimore, MD. While The Countrymen were on their last set, Franki Valli came out and said that he liked the way they sounded and wants to do his opening numbers with The Countrymen. I was wondering if there is any other video from 1978 or if that show was recorded for sale on cassette and/or if it was re-produced on CD.
hi Hali, the 1970's were the greatest. i shook hands w/ you back then. thanks for your smile & kindness. i wish i could go back to the 1970's. ****
I attended my first and only Frankie Valli concert on my 21st birthday in 1978. Oh what a night.
@FrankieValli-ys7mb I am doing fine; how are you doing? I will always be your #1 fan. I am now in my late 60's, and that concert was my best birthday ever.🤗🫂
@FrankieValli-ys7mb You earned all of the love and support we give to you.♥
@FrankieValli-ys7mb Where would I send the email to?
@FrankieValli-ys7mb I am doing well; how are you?
@FrankieValli-ys7mb Hello Frankie I am fine; how are you?
Gerry Polci has to be one of the most underrated rock tenor vocalists ever.
I TOTALLY agree. He is fantastic!
Kelsey Braun And a very underrated drummer as well.
The man sure can sing and smack!
Does it make you feel brilliant to say that? He's good, but he's not underrated. He's under-exposed. People can't "rate" him if they're not even aware he exists.
Yes Polci got fantástic voice
Here it is 2021 and I still remember the vocal parts. I remember this show in particular. It was upstate NY. Now my friend Don is gone and I’m much older. It was a marvelous experience. I was guitarist and background singer and one of the four seasons. Great stuff. Thank RUclips.
Wonderfuuuuul!!!✌️✌️👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🎼🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸✨🎸✨🎸 Godbless 🎶✨🎶
Thanks for being a part of my favourite 4 seasons line up!
John you were a great Four Seasons band member.
@@georgemusic4all4seasons Very kind of you to say. It was all so long ago.
These 4 seasons were also my favorite lineup! I still have a huge crush on Gerry Polci! He is the best!
😥😭😭😭😭
Where has time gone?
Great great music & memories
I'm still blown away by his vocal range. It's amazing he hasn't received more recognition.
You know, I agree. He seems to have dominated Billboard charts almost at will, even as he aged, so the sales are there. The songwriting of Bob Gaudio is incredible, with help from Crewe of course.

Any time Gerry is on screen I'm mesmerized. Like how does he sing and drum like that, and nail both amazingly!!!
He's amazing his voice even at 83 on stage for 2019 4th of July it's a gift from God!
I absolutely love Gerry playing the drums and his facial expressions, you can really tell how much Gerry enjoys playing his drums!
This group of Four Seasons were so awesome ! They all could sing and play. Not been like this for some time. I miss a band of Four Seasons and not just singers.
The drummer is next level...keeping time on drums and vocals to the T
¡ You are the best Frankie Vallei !
wow, they really sped up Who Loves You. Gerry Polci on drums keeps up and is amazing as usual!
always a super performer, I hired him 1989 to do a concert in montreal at place des arts, 2900 seats were filled, it was a great evening for everyone and technion-the beneficiary.................
I WAS BORN THIS YEAR. i JUST WANT TO SAy thank you dad for letting me listen to frankie . he is my favorite group
Fantastic gig. It wasn't just studio magic with these guys. They brought it all live.
The drummer is amazing with a great voice!
This man was pure heaven to listen to and I'm sure he still is.........
He speaks my language of LOVE ! I am 70 plus 2023
In 1985 me and my wife and family members went to atlantic city and we were eating in a cafe Frankie came in order something from the waitrist and i called him he came over and talked to us what a nice guy.

You really mean It? Be honest
That is sooooo Awesome!
I LOVE Frankie! Great music and Superb Vocals!

Wonderful! I saw Frankie back in the late 70s with my mom. Such a magic memory! He was incredible!
Oh what a night! Go Gerry Polci.
So underrated
Frankie Valli is one of the true legends just like Jay black. When Frankie sings I’ve got you Under my skin it’s totally unreal🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Whenever I hear "Can't take my eyes off of you", I think of The Deerhunter.
Had a huge crush on Gerry fabulous drumming and vocals
Love the drummer/singing .
My group opened for this iteration of the group in 1974 right before the 1975 releases of the big hits. Don, Gerry were amazing. This was in Plainfield NJ.
It doesn't get much better than this for all us nostalgiacs as we fell in love with that "someone special". for the very first time.
Frankie Valli has a million dollar voice that deserves millions of Flowers.
those were songs you could listen to at any time, & with anyone,, don't feel like we get that these days, like no romance in the air like back then, or maybe it's just me
One of my favorite groups of all time.
One of the last treasures of a bygone time.
Dale Deimel Musical History in the making. # 1 group of all times.
By the sheer greatness of Frankie's voice I have too agree...
Awesome. Love Franki and 4 seasons. Best of the Best
Frankie what a voice you have here too
フランキーさんは年をとるごとに格好良くなっていく！
Love Gerry's voice and drum playing...just awesome addition to the 4 Seasons
I WAS 21WHEN THIS VIDEO WAS PLAYED ON YOU TUBE. THEY'D SOUND SO AWESOME ON HERE. I'M SO GLAD THAT I AM ABLE TO SEE THIS ALL THE TIME.

Saw this line up of Frankie and the Four Seasons in the seventies absolutely blew me away, brilliant.
I like all the songs, but the 3rd song, "My Eyes Adore You", in particular bring me back good memories of 1974 when I was 14 years. I was in love with this girl and the song reminds me of her. I remeber the 70's were very laid back years to live and not like today.
Yep. Watergate. Vietnam. The Energy Crisis. Good times!
I was 14 too in love with my first love!!

Love all Frankie's songs and the 70 4 Seasons ! ❤️🎼🌻
Another great show for Frankie & the guys. Some high energy too. Franks looks were breathtaking.
Amo estas músicas incondicionalmente! Frankie Valli e four Seasons maravilhosos.❤❤❤❤❤

懐かしいな。高校生の時に、いつも、聴きながら、受験勉強をしていたんだ。
Without his songs, I did not have my good old days, Thank you MrSeasonologist!!
Yoshi Tanaka
nice to know he's appreciated in Japan too! Great talent.
I save all Frankie Valli’s shows on You Tube some never seen before. Thank you so much I appreciated 😘
How about some links?
Brings back such good memories. Love all the songs they had.
Love that Frankie Valli
Yep. Great days and music that was real music, not screaming, cursing, and garbled sounds.
What a voice
Love the intro. I too love the 70s. This is so great as anything Frankie does. So good to see.
Wow! So many of these songs I heard on the radio and loved, but never knew who was doing them!! DJ's rarely give singer's name - at least on stations I heard - Now I have to get his albums on my iPhone!! They were great! And, I've heard of his songwriter Bob Gaudio
for a long time....go figure!
The Jersey Boys movie must have really re-activated his records ....
Wow they sound great live!
They were among my favorites and still are.
Mí grupo favorito,discos y cassettes que compré de Ellos fueron todos,muy hermosa musica y grupo.FELICIDADES.
I'm gonna start a punk band and wear these exact matching suits
Gerry was outstanding on the drums! Not easy singing so well AND keeping the beat at the same time.
I can really hear the nuanced expressions in FV's voice and style. He's displaying the greatest influence in his performance by the chairman of the board himself Frank Sinatra
Wow memories the songs bring back, they were simply the best!
Frankie Valli can SING! Can't Take My Eyes Off You FAILED TO CHART in the UK!!! December 1963 Oh What A Night was the Four Seasons only UK No1 hit single.
Thay had competition from a British quartet also known for "singing beautiful harmonies" = The Beatles.
The 60’s songs are best.
Los años pasan tan rápidos me acuerdo que era una niña cuando escuchaba tus canciones preciosas y ahora voy a cumplir 60 años estoy viej italiano pro saber música es única ha talas generaciones que vengan eres genial tu música no muere fantastico
All those songs are always fabulous as ever ❤️👍Thanks for sharing!!!
I love this song an will listen to it anytime ❤❤
Love seeing Gerry and Don on this! Thanks for sharing👌
love this song one of my Favourites beautiful tune by Frankie Valli xx
Frankie. He's the BEST, EVER
Stephanie Logan no, beatles are
There are a lot of greats out there, but I'd definitely put Frankie and the 4 right up there. I do love the Beatles though pp.
Can a concert get any better than this one? Be hard to find that one.
Aside from valli's then wife while singing my eyes adored you, there are some beautiful and downright gorgeous looking girls in that audience. I say this with all due respect, nothing but a bunch of pretty faces, Wow!!!!
Their amazing vocal talent got them the most attention, but these guys could really play as a band.
Saw the group at The Bachelors Three in Fort Liquordale, Florida in 1975. What an experience.
Oh what a night? ;-)
Me encanta y más sus canciones de los 60's 😍😊
SIIII, FABULOSA BANDA.
They are the greatest and I 'm in love with the guitar 🎸 player😊
Swear to God he was great and he still is. Go Frankie you got it all. 👍
always bring great memories for me, even thou I was just in jr. high, best years yet
Oh and the music is fantastic.
PERFECTION,thank you so much for posting such gems.not too many siners that are left if any........ A LEGEND FOR SURE.....
I think this was around the time Frankie was having hearing issues but don't quote me on the time frame. Polci has a great voice and sounds similar to Frankie's. He was also married to Frankie's daughter Toni. This is timeless music and few reach that status.
QUE CANCIONES TAN HERMOSAS, ME PROPORCIONAN MUCHA FELICIDAD Y MAGIA😍😘 💯💯
Esta canción es inmortal más aún si es para ti ❤
Es verdaderamente increíble que esté prodigio de hombre siga cantado perfectamente a sus 88años. No cabe duda: el don de Dios.
Los músicos, estupendos. Dios los bendiga por llenar nuestros oídos de tan hermosos sonidos.
Verdaderamente magistrales. Una maravilla escucharlos todo el 2022💯💯💯💯💯
I adore the 4 seasons
ME2
Thank you for sharing this video never got too see them in person but I love all their songs they sang and recorded .👍
Nunca podré olvidar a este hombre. Sus canciones me enamoran y todabia sigue activo, este año cumple 89 año creo que en mayo 3 si no me equivoco lo amo 💕.
Sorry never mind, I just finished looking at the rest of the video, and got to see the rest of the 4 Seasons. Well done Video. Thank You.
Frankie Valli... una leggenda!!!!
Thank you for posting. The Jersey Boys film that Clint Eastwood produced about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is entertaining. Frankie Valli himself will be featured on PBS " A Capitol Fourth" on July 5th at 3:30 PT.
I like the tall bearded guy.🥰
hard to imagine this is almost 40 years ago.
Striking in those colors!
Still hitting those high notes
Nimrod
Unfortunately he can no longer hit the high notes. Approximately 8 years ago I did the Ryder for his show in the city I live. Frankie and the Four Seasons performed their songs with the orchestra. What the audience was not aware of was they had piped in the music. Therefore, the audience believed Frankie was hitting those high notes. He has been back to the city where I live. The venue I work for would not re-book his show. He has performed at a much smaller venue. Johnny Mathis on the other hand is still incredible. His voice hasn’t changed.
I live while Frankie's singing, the make closeups of the female audience members including his wife!
One of a kind!!!
