I don't usually notice such things, but they were dressed both cool (and appropriately for a bunch of old guys), and they sound better than they used to in the '60's, especially Colin Blunstone.

[@WayneKitching]

I watched an interview and Colin had vocal lessons after the song became a hit. They credit the longevity of his voice to learning proper technique and doing exercises.

[@ConnorTerrell]

This band was one of my first loves. It seemed that every time I turned on the radio, I heard the Zombies within five songs. They were are are THAT good. Ms Hoff’s words were heartfelt and spot on.

[@TheOrganiston9th]

Rod Argent is one amazingly brilliant keyboardist! I love his contributions on “She’s Not There”, and throughout “Odessey & Oracle”. For example, what he did with Mellotron on “Care of Cell 44” is one of the most moving (to me) songs, and provides a standard of why that instrument is so powerful. Same with “Hung Up on A Dream”. As for his Hammond works, his solos are always - and still - fantastic...!

[@carl_anderson9315]

Excellent vocal technique. I wish other singers of their generation, like Robert Plant took care of their vocal chords as Colin. Of course he doesn't have the same timber as his younger years, but he changed his original chest singing to a much more controled head/chest mixed singing. That's why he's always able the hit the high notes.

RRHOF is a joke. They formed in the early 60's and have been eligible for many yrs. So glad Rod and Michael lived to see it. btw Jethro Tull, Robin Trower, ELP and Kansas have been ignored by these corporate dickheads who run RRHOF forever. Prog is totally misrepresented IMO.

[@mlmanville8174]

I saw them maybe eight years ago -- anyway about a year after they re-formed and started touring-- not really knowing what to expect, and ... OMG. That turned out to be one of my favorite concerts of all time. It helped that it was a small outdoor venue and we were able to stand & sometimes dance RIGHT IN FRONT of the stage, only maybe 5-10 feet from the band. p.s. the craziest thing is that we got into the concert for $6 each. Yes, within the last decade, and for The Zombies!
