Nice to see three out of the five original members of Jay and The Americans. Jay #3 does pretty good as lead, and thank goodness we can still see the majority of this singing group today. Great concert and thank you for posting.

No that's not Jay Black and the Americans, a black passed away. The three older guys where in the Americans. Add a new guy for the lead singer. Overall I think they sound great. I used to sing with the group called The fortunes. And we did shows with Jay Black. He was a great guy.

People are complaining about no Jay Traynor, no Jay Black? They have both passed away. The original 3 here saved the name from being owned by anyone else by buying it back to help JB pay off his gambling debts. They then decided to work it again rather than let the songs and arrangements end. The quality of this video is only as good as the recording device used. This happens with every live performance recorded by the audience. I saw them in concert a week ago and my opinion is that they put on an incredible show and I was glad to hear these songs live again.

Many groups still tour without 1 original member, only because someone owns the name or trademark. The Grass Roots, The Vogues, The Coasters, The Platters, etc. still out there without any original members. When you have 3 of the 4 original voices that could be heard on backing vocals from every hit song, then it's not a cover or tribute band. Jay #1 passed away in 2014, Jay #2 passed away in 2021 and stopped touring around 2017. Many 60s/70s groups still tour without the original lead singer (Journey, Styx, Temptations, Jefferson Starship, Turtles, Lovin Spoonful, Santana, 4 Tops, Foreigner) because over 60 years band members change. Thankfully, founding member Sandy was able to purchase the name and continue to present all their great songs to audiences with original members, not imposters who own a trademark.

@@asr53 Yes Allan I know about the history of Bands and knew about David (Jay) John, & Kenny & now Howie. Just saying Reincke while good is nowhere near the voice of John or David. True about groups not having all original members but there are and were some that had replacements who were as GREAT or even better than original members. My # 1 is Kelly Hanson & all members of the Reconstrucked FOREIGNER. Kelly actually better than Lou Gramm.. Paul Revere's Raiders with Carlo Driggs in Lead Vocals better than Mark Lindsey, The Buckinghams with Original Member Carl Giammasee taking over lead of Dennis Tufano and even sounding today closer to the RECORDINGS than Dennis who is still performing.. The Guess Who is still performing and it's a Joke without Burton Cummings whose voice they are using in promotions on Radio for Concerts. Same with the Vouges without Bill, Hugh, Chuck, Don and no original members are the Vouges only in name. The Fab Four a Beatles Tribute Band dont call themselves The Beatles and they duplicate the sound & playing as GREAT as The Lads from Liverpool and are accepted & Loved even in Liverpool where they have played The Cavern Club.

@Mark E saw Kelly's Foreigner twice, yes he does a good job. But when the only orig member Mick Jones was ill for a long time the band continued touring and when no orig members are present, I consider that a tribute band. The orig bass player of the Guess Who owns the name. They tour with only the drummer as orig member. But we know Burton is the voice and a great one at that.
