Absolutely amazing!!
by Crimson & Clover on 6/8/25Morrison Center for the Performing Arts - BoiseRating: 5 out of 5Tommy and his Shondells were phenomenal!! I knew I was going to thoroughly enjoy the concert, because I've been a huge T.J. & The Shondells fan since I was young, but I was absolutely blown away!! They sounded even better than they did back in the '60's, thanks to today's superior sound equipment and the awesome acoustics of the Morrison Center. Tommy's energy and love for his music and fans is nothing short of enviably amazing! One of the many things that impressed me was how Tommy instilled his love for the music in his bandmates -- their energy level and enthusiasm mirrors Tommy's, and they obviously enjoy Tommy's music every bit as much as the original Shondells. Tommy's new lead guitarist, John, absolutely WAILS on his guitar! I could listen to him all night! The members of the band meld into one mesmerizing rhapsody, as they flawlessly capture the original essence of every one of Tommy's incredible repertoire of hits, one after another, after another. Tommy is still the same remarkably humble star that I remember him as -- coming down off of the stage and working his way through the legions of adoring fans, shaking hands, graciously receiving an occasional kiss, and making us all realize how much he truly appreciates each and every one of us! This was so much more than just a concert -- this was a surreal, enchanted journey back to better days, and I sincerely thank Tommy and his Shondells for an unbelievably captivating evening. I would gladly travel across the continent, and probably will, for another one of Tommy's engaging performances. ~ Dale Corson, Boise, Idaho ~
