New England had a great time at their recent reunion concert. They met up with their fans at a meet and greet as well as some old friends backstage.

Here is what people thought of
New England's
performance at last year's
Music For Middlesex show!!!

" My friends in the band New  England and  I go way back, and it appears they have successfully negotiated time travel. In seeing their reunion performance at last year's Music for Middlesex [ PH Productions], I realized time travel, time warps or worm holes in space could be the only way to explain  how these guys look and sound as if no time had passed at all since we last cavorted. Well done, lads. "

The band "New England" reunion performance at the Music for Middlesex 3 benefit far surpassed any ones' expectations that evening. For me it was the tightest, right on, rock-n-roll set I've ever heard.
Jimmy, John, Hirsh and Gary catapulted you back in time with such force and energy that you actually were watching "New England" as if they were still at the height of their career. To be honest these guys can put younger men to shame and did.
Love them, Love  them, Love  them!

I remember seeing, feeling the electricity in the air at that New England show. Powerful, very powerful. John & Jimmy executed precision like I hadn't heard in years. Hirsh played with a "childlike joy" and abandon that was inspiring beyond  words. And once again Gary had the best Rock Bass sound with his unmistakable perfect intonation. They were the best band in the world that night........by far !

New England was on fire as they blew the amps and smoked the stage last week at the '05 Music For Middlesex May Performance. No younger or older band had anything on them this night! They  Rocked!!!!!

"  I was blown away watching them last year in Middlesex. I remember
hearing  "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya" on the radio when I was  18, and to
see them play it live was simply amazing. The band  was tight and the
energy was awesome. I can't wait to see  them again this year!"
