Herman’s Hermits
Saturday, June 10, 2006
After returning from Nashville late Friday night, we were able to rest a little, but we couldn’t sleep all day Saturday, we had a concert to go to!
Spike and Sandy (Sandz of Time) had invited us to go to EPCOT and see Herman’s Hermits (starring the eternally young Peter Noone). How could we say no to that?
They had already taken us to see Paul Revere and the Raiders and the Guess Who, and this was to be the last in a series of “Flower Power” concerts put on by Disney.
Well, to quote the group America in their hit song “Horse With No Name”: “The heat was hot…” it was at least 93 degrees with over 98 percent humidity. We saw a great many over-heated folks. We ducked from air-conditioned building to air-conditioned building, and made sure we drank a lot of water.
It was worth the effort. Peter Noone (a.k.a. “Herman”) and his Hermits did their best to put on a rousing good show.
Noone seemed to be having a grand time singing his old hits to a tremendously appreciative audience. We could see a lot of baby boomers singing along, not missing a single word.
Naturally, they played the hits, including “I’m Into Something Good”, “Dandy”, “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter”, “There’s a Kind of Hush”, and of course, their biggest and wackiest hit, “I’m Henry VIII, I Am.”
We momentarily forgot how hot it was.
We remembered when we had to walk back to the parking lot.
Peter Noone
(He looks quite good for a "not so young" bloke!)

We did have a great time, didn't we! My Herman's Hermits fantasy was finally fulfilled! He looks fantastic and had so much energy, it was hard to believe he was in his heyday over 40 years ago! Of course, I don't remember then...tee hee! He is definitely the ultimate performer and had the audience in the palm of his hand! Can't wait to see him next year! H-E-N-R-Y, Hen-er-ee, Hen-er-ee, Hen-er-ee the 8th I am, I am...Hen-er-ee the 8th I am! Ta Da!!! (that was for Peter)
