lakebay972 you are right on with your comment and thank you for that. Of course Frankie Valli was going to get the credit, it was his and Gaudios band. I will admit Polci is very talented as well as Ciconne, Paiva, and Shapiro but they were just hired hands who happen to be great musicians.

I could listen to Gerry Polci sing every day and not get tired of his voice. Jimmy Ryan is a sweet guy, very talented on the guitar, and his voice suits every song well. Lee knew he wanted to play piano and went out and made it happen. Larry is criminally underrated in my mind. Russell has an impressive resume and good energy. The Hitmen will always be my favorite culmination band.

A tight and very professional performance by the whole band but Gerry Polci in particular deserves the praise he's earning here. A pleasure to see him recreating the magic of "December 1963", but what about "Grease" too... where he sings all the lead vocals plus a big drum solo.

Watching this has been one of the best study breaks I could have asked for. Always awesome to see the legends still going strong, and Gerry Polci is clearly no exception! "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)" is easily one of my favourite Four Seasons songs, so to hear him sing it as well as he did back in the 70s is a treat. Gaudio really knew how to write tunes (understatement of the year).

Cool to see. As a drummer, I can tell you that singing while drumming is harder than it seems. Much more physical effort than say, playing guitar or keyboards and singing. For Polci to pull it off as superbly as he does is amazing.

Gerry, THE best drummer in the world. Even better than Phil Collins, and that's saying something. Then there's the voice. OMG, even after all the years, my heart melted when he sang Oh What a Night, and Who loves you. Not to mention the drums in both those songs. OK, I'll settle down now. If the Hit Men ever come to Australia, I need to know about it. I want to be there. Maybe they could come and do a benefit concert for the fires that are currently destroying our country?

I’m glad to see Lee Shapiro is still involved and if I may say I grew up with the 4 Seasons of the 70’s as they have been my all time favorite group. Their albums Who Loves you and Helicon are my all time favorites and to this day still listen to them weekly while driving, working out, working or just plain kicking back. These guys were awesome as a band and I just wish Bob Gaudio would have kept them all together. Good luck to all!!!!
