What a great evening with Gerry and The Pacemakers. Gerry was very funny and had the audience with him. Brought back lots of wonderful memories of my youth. He's still got it. Would go again if they return.
the show was amazing bought back so may good memory of being bought up in england not far from liverpool
It was a very good night with wonderful music that every one could sing to. Gerry is a great entertainer with lots of interesting and amusing stories. I took my nephew of 20 years. He thought the music was great even though I think he was the only one that had enough hair to cover his head or had his original hair colour. I am sure that any one that was at the concert that night will say it was a complete success and more and new memories were made that night. My only regret or criticism was that the concert only lasted 1 and half hours and less than ten songs were played.
Excellent. His voice is still very clean for 70. He keeps his sound like it was in the 60's clubs we went to.
Gerry Marsden sang all his big hits and has an amazing sense of humour!!! It was wonderful meeeting him after the show as he was so gracious signing, snapping pics and engaging in conversation with all who approached him!!!
Seeing Gerry and the Pacemakers for the second time was just a good as the first. The group was fun and there was lots of funny comments made throughout the show by the boys. Gerry is still a great singer and I can see why he can still pull in a crowd. The best thing is being able to sing along to some of the greatest songs that came from the UK during the British Invasion. I hope more groups of this genre come to the mainland because they are excellent entertainment and there is definitely a big audience for them to perform for. Gerry will "Never Walk Alone" cause there are still lots of fans out there.
We thoroughly enjoyed the music and interplay with the audience and had great seats! At 71, Gerry Marsden's voice is till strong. His band is excellent and seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.
Gerry Marsden was the consummate entertainer. He made us laugh. He made us sing along with him. He performed all of his hits as we remembered them. The quality of his voice has not diminished over the last 50 years. I look forward to seeing him perform again.
Gerry and the Pacemakers brought an authentic taste of the 60s British Invasion to Winnipeg’s McPhillips Street Station, treating the crowd to some of the finest pop hits to come out the period. Still led by founding member, lead singer/guitarist Gerry Marsden, the 68-year old veteran musician endeared himself to the crowd of mostly babyboomers with his Livepuddlian charm, his stories, and, of course, the great Pacemaker hits (many of which Gerry wrote himself). He opened the night (5/24/10) with the song put The Pacemakers on the map, their debut single, which stayed No 1 in the U.K. for 3 weeks and made the top 10 in North America, “How Do You Do It.” Marsden’s voice is a little huskier than his younger days, but he still has the big vocal range, and the current line up of Pacemaker’s did an able job of backing him, particularly Steve Thompson on lead guitar Tony Young on piano. He performed a couple of interesting B sides, the 1st from his 1966 single “Girl on Swing, Fred Astaire’s “The Way You Look Tonight,” as well as the flip side to his 2nd hit single “I Like It,” a rocked up of version of Hank William’s “Jambalya,” before beginning a non-stop hit filled set, beginning with the 1965 Marsden penned hit “It’s Gonna Be Alright.” Next up, was the beautiful Pacemaker ballad, their biggest North American hit, “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying,” which Marsden revealed he wrote for the woman who became his wife, followed by another of his self-written hits, the upbeat “I’m the One.” His 1964 Bobby Darrin penned hit “I’ll Be There” preceded the song which was destined to be The Pacemakers’ last Billboard 100 hit in 1966 “Girl on a Swing.” Moving into the home stretch, Gerry began with the poignant title track he wrote for The Pacemaker’s 1965 movie, “Ferry Cross the Mersey,” followed by the band’s 2nd UK No 1 hit, “I Like It” and closed the night the song that became The Pacemakers 3rd straight No 1 in the UK in 1963 and is an anthem for soccer clubs around the world, including Liverpool, Roger’s and Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone” which had the entire crowd on their feet, singing and swaying, and earned Gerry and the band a well deserved standing ovation and encore.
