John Zuchero writes on Aug. 28, 2023:
It was June of 1966 and my best friend, Tom Yack, and I went to the Music Circus to see the Supremes. As you probably know from your research, Stevie Wonder was a warmup act. As I remember it, he was still being introduced as "Little Stevie Wonder." My friend and I had never heard of him, but what a show he put on that night! I remember that when the Supremes came on we were so blown away by Stevie Wonder's performance that we were kind of disappointed by them.
Paul Revere and the Raiders
Nancy wrote us:
"I saw Maurice Chevalier at Lambertville on one of his "Farewell Tours" in the early 60s. Also saw (among many other bands) Paul Revere and the Raiders there. The bands would run up to the stage from a tunnel under a section of seats. When Paul Revere and his band ran offstage, someone leaned over the rail and grabbed one of their plumed tri-corner hats!
Thanks for this great web site!"

"I grew up in West Amwell/East Amwell, NJ. I discovered your Music Circus sit via Facebook. I thought that you might be interested in the attached pictures. I attended the 1966 (summer after my freshman year of college) Paul Revere and the Raiders concert at the Music Circus. I believe that we had front row seats."
