Reminds me of having lunch with Frankie Valli for a press interview for "Grease" so many, many years ago. He keeps going!

Saturday morning, 06/29/2024, this concert just popped up from Atlantic City, NJ a few days ago. I'm sixty, born near Frankie in Philadelphia, lived in AC, NJ, my eighty year old dad died last year, we live in Winter Haven,Fl, was supposed to take him to see Frankie here in Florida, but among all of his other horrendous illnesses he had and beat, stage four cancer got him. I was and still am every morning I open my eyes, more devastated than the previous day, but per his dying wish, I take care of mom and my fifteen year old niece and move forward. It's hard because I battle severe degenerative disc disease and many other neurological problems that go with it and ready to have a shoulder replacement, knee replacement, and hopefully disc replacement on the two lower discs. Watching Frankie at ninety, and seeing the energy that the music and fans gives him is so true what performers say. I only took my three meds and only one pain pill while watching, usually takes the scheduled four to make me function somewhat normally to get through the day, but the energy boost watching Frankie at night ninety, was literally making me feel better and forget I'm in excruciating pain and can't bend over to put my shoes on. I am still a musician myself and play drums in a band, we do a lot of different occasions for folks,as well as clubs, and it's difficult at times with the neuropathy, always praying before a show that the stick doesn't fall from my hands, but I guess it's the energy from the people that make me hold it, I don't know. I am still wiping my eyes from the tears, thinking about how dad and I used to go to concerts, lunch, dinner, sporting events, fishing, play cards on Friday night with the guys, the casino, etc..., when he passed, I gave the two quite costly tickets, front row, to my uncle and aunt. There was no way I could take mom, I told her, we are supposed to be having fun, Frankie would have looked at us and wondered why we were the only two people in front continuously wiping tears from our face.

I love these Franke Valli Concert Videos. Frankie is the best!

first time I saw the 4 Seasons was 1971 and then many times over the years (plus the years he toured as a solo artist). Their catalogue of great songs ranks up there with the best musical acts ever. Watching KZread concert clips of McCartney (82), Mike Love (83)/Beach Boys, Rod Stewart (79) and countless other older artists show how age changes vocal abilities. For someone to wonder how Frankie at 90 sounds like he's 60 isn't a troll, but a legitimate question. We all know many artists in concert that use backing tracks, enhanced vocals, computer aides and even some lip syncing. That's what it is these days. That being said, thank you Frankie for so many years of music. Rest in peace former 4 Seasons Tommy DeVito (died 2020), Joe Long (2021), Nick Massi (2000), Don Ciccone (2016) and producer/writer of many of their great tunes Bob Crewe (2014).

I have to say one more thing. I never made a point of making fun of anyone because we are all different, but most of the people who wonder about Frankie singing or not, are usually the young generation, who should be quiet. I'm sixty, in good condition because I work harder than ever to stay that way. Especially with my severe degenerative disc disease and many other neurological problems that go with it, in my hey day of being an athlete, I was five foot two, solid muscle one seventy five, now sixty, slim, solid, but one hundred forty, makes the two worse severely deteriorated discs at the bottom and overall makes me feel better, more mobility. Every time I am in public, I see, especially girls, from twenty to forty, two hundred plus pounds of just one hundred percent over weight. Shopping carts full of everything from doughnuts to cookies and cakes, but never make fun of anyone because as my late, great dad taught me growing up, we are all different and never to hurt anyone because of looks, skin color, religion, etc... we are all human beings with feelings, so lets praise Franki for making us happy and giving us a smile especially in this crazy world today

Sorry fans, he's miming to a vocal track. The mic has a switch to allow him to speak between songs or even between lines. It's a digitally enhanced pre-recorded vocal that he's been using for years. Too much evidence online of him fluffing lines or letting his real voice appear by accident - it sounds horrific. The band and the 4 backing singers are performing live - kept in sync with a click track. At least only he's promised it's his last tour.

The ennunciation of the prerecorded vocal tracks is crisp and clear as you would expect studio recorded track to be, while his speaking voice is thin and sounds old and tired, lacking energy and is obviously the voice of a man his age. The distance he holds the mic away from his mouth as he "sings" is inconsistent with the sound being produced as well - you can't get that "punchy. in-your-face" kind of vocal sound when that kind of mic is held 2 feet away from the mouth. SOURCE: I'm a touring theatre professional for the past 40 years and work with pre-recorded backing tracks FREQUENTLY with many different artists and shows.

Weekend at Franky’s. So effortless 😂.

Ive seen Frankie 4 times in my life. In 1974 I was a 15 yr old kid who went to hear that great falsetto but he never sang it. I was so disapointed, found out later that he was practically deaf. Thankfully I grew up, and saw him again in 1987 knowing the falsetto was gone ,but i enjoyed the show and wasnt dissapointed. saw him again in 1995 and i thought it was his best show id seen, in 2004 by some quirk of fate and some smooth talking from my new wife I got a VIP ticket to a sold out show in Reno, show was the best i had seen yet, as he belted a few falsetto notes,but the highlight was getting a photo and a brief conversation with him after the show. I just saw this video and he did as great a job as anyone could have a falsetto at 90 years old. I wish I could see him once more after this video before he finally retires or god retires him. Honestly im amazed he is better now then he was in 1974, i guess like a fine wine he just gets better with age. God bless Frankie Valli

He always comes back to New Jersey because he's a Jersey Boy who never forgot his roots. I hope he continues to perform these wonderful concerts for many more years. Frankie is the best and deserves our thanks, appreciation, and respect.

I have mixed feelings about what people say about him not singing. He talks just like he sings, and as a musician myself, I sometimes think he is, other times I wonder, but at ninety, he can still walk up and down the stage and do it. Hey, Tony Bennett still has his voice, but I believe he is suffering from dementia now, I know others who still have their voice. Some lose a lot as they get older, but many are fortunate to keep their voice. Excuse my language, but who the fuck cares, I know with my severe degenerative disc disease and without pain meds, at sixty, I can't walk up and down a stage and travel like Frankie does, so God bless him and stop knocking him about if he is singing or not. I think he is, and he sang at his wedding to his younger bride. They also put a new album out just a couple of years ago, so what do the people who constantly bring up if he is singing or not think, he is lip syncing on a new album? Come on, listen, that's him, I don't care what anyone says. I wish at some point during one of his shows he would stop the band and say, for those who wonder, and just hit a high note or sing a line or two of something, I sure would if I were famous and constantly had the world and media breaking my stones.

I used to be in denial and try to find ways to justify the fact that he’s somehow singing live. After long and careful examination, I came to the conclusion that he does lip sync. If you look at his performances over the last 25 years, every note sounds identical. That was not the case prior to 1998. There’s even more recent videos of his lips barely moving and being off with his vocals. Additionally, I tried to ask his former backing group, “The Modern Gentlemen”, if he lip synced, and they said they couldn’t talk about it. If he sang completely live, it would be easy to deny that accusation, right? If you have some evidence that shows otherwise, I’d love to see it. I simply don’t understand how you can explain away that every performance over the last 25 years sounds identical. I’m not attacking or disrespecting him, rather I’m simply stating a fact.

It’s not elder abuse when Frankie gives full approval. He knows what he’s doing. He’s been lip syncing for 25 years.

He is 90 so I will go easy here.... just stop this... it it borderline abuse.... its 100% fake singing.... whats the point? ego? money? at some point it all becomes silly.... his mouth isnt even opening at some points.... on the positive side great recording!

I honestly think he’s addicted to touring/performing and doesn’t want to stop even if that means faking it on stage. I don’t think it’s a matter of money or ego. He’s been lip syncing for 25 years, so this is nothing new.

Super cringe to watch. This guy is mere seconds from death's door. He's not singing live; don't be fooled. He can barely STAND moretheless sing. Some music acts don't know when to quit. Valli is one that should have, decades ago.

looks like something from Disney. he must need the money

He doesn’t need money. He loves performing in front of crowds, even if that means lip syncing.

He shouldn’t be on stage anymore. He’s 90 years old, can’t sing anymore hence the lip syncing and half of the time looks like he doesn’t know where he is. His team should be ashamed to charge £120 for people to watch this

@@TheGuiltyAndTheDead Frankie is 100% mentally there. He has been lip syncing for 25 years and knows what he’s doing. I wish he would at least put a disclaimer that his singing is not live.

LOL .... Like do people really believe he is singing ? This is a joke .... to pay for a lip sync concert ... and people are happy ! Hard to believe

@@ZennaD Watch out. Little Stephen the White Knight likes to delete posts that don't go along with his views. You know the belief that a 90 year old can sing in high tenor without moving his lips. He feels he is protecting everyone from the "lip sync trolls". 😄

The Walking Dead is lip syncing and collecting $$$...

Hopefully, their spelling, punctuation, and grammar are working. That's more than I can say for you.

I'm sorry. I was a huge fan but this is worse than the Biden debate. Lip-sync totally off time. He wasn't even "mouthing" the "M's & B's" in words that needed those consonants and timing was completely OFF even when he was "close". I am so sorry to the folks who PAID to see a "live show"... you got ripped off. This was NOT live.

i really don't give a ch**... who was it? milli vanilli? They got robbed of an award back in the day for less! They just had some other guys actually DO the vocals and lip-sync'd to it better than this performance. As a musician/live performer myself? Turn HIS MIC UP, Mr. sound man.. how about compress it?... & let's HEAR his LIVE performance as a singer in 2024... cuz this is fraud!

Tarnishing his legacy by refusing to retire with dignity. It’s so very sad. And anyone who believes he’s actually singing is as deluded as he is.

Those white singer's in the 60's could not touch the Black singer's back in the day. Sorry!

Don’t matter, Frankie valli and Sinatra had better connections, would find one of them in the back of a trunk if they ever laid a finger 😉
