The 2008 BURLINGTON Concert
was an unqualified success
I really don' t know how to describe it! The most accurate statement that has been made is that "you had to be there!". In 40 years of producing concerts the only concert that I've produced that had similar elements of the unexpected and unknown resulting in excellent and sometimes extraordinary performances was that concert I produced in 1983 -
the 1983 BURLINGTON CONCERT.
Thanks to so many folks who made it happen - especially Bobby Diskin, Charlie and Pam Horner, Frank Chille, Val Shively, Todd Baptista, Terry Stewart, Joe Loud and also the deejays and folks in the business who worked hard to promote it - Lou Rallo, Christine Vitale, Gordon Skadberg, Frank Gengaro, Dennis Burgey, George Frunzi, Jim Santa Barbara, Rockin' Richard, Carl Tancredi, Lee Jolles, Jim Bakay, Fred Bohn, Steve Applebaum, Bruce Woolf, Ken Fuchs, Sal Ardigliano, Marvin Kaminsky, Andrea Seigel, Barry Rosen, Eddie Natale ... I've missed some folks but I'll rectify it soon.
Thanks so much to all the folks who helped to make this work and to those trusting folks who paid a lot of money for the tickets.
As one guy said during intermission of the show, "I just got my $200 worth". And after the show he said, "That show was worth $500."
Thanks
Mark del Costello
