On
May 29th, 2010, John appeared in Las Vegas as part of a Tribute To
Gordon Waller (Peter and Gordon)/ Sixties Celebration which
featured friends and colleagues of Gordon. The seven hour show was
a brilliant celebration of music from the era, and featured several
songs which were among Gordon's favorites. John performed "Unchain
My Heart", "No Other Baby But You", inviting Spencer Davis onstage
to sing along with him, followed by Gordon's favorite: "The Sun
Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore". Later, John joined D.J.Fontana
(Elvis's drummer) in "One Night With You". Finally, during
Peter Asher's elegant, touching media and song tribute to his
partner, John joined Peter to sing "Let It Be Me" - singing
Gordon's part. Among the other featured artistes were Spencer
Davis ("Gimme Some Lovin'"), Denny Laine (formerly with Wings),
Terry Sylvester from The Hollies ("He Ain't Heavy, He's My
Brother"), and Chad and Jeremy. Jeff Ross, MD, and his
powerful backing band - from the Los Angeles area - toured with
Peter and Gordon as "The Peter and Gordon Band". They also tour as
"The Pacemakers" when Gerry Marsden tours the US. Peter Asher and
Keith Putney, along with Jeff, organized a spectacular salute to
Gordon and the fans of 60s music...." Coming soon: photos and
videos of the event. Stay tuned...
