Good times never seemed so good: Dean Colley shines like a Diamond

 

by Timothy Rutt WhiteIt was time to pick up the babies and grab the old ladies for Dean Colley’s tribute to the music of Neil Diamond at Farnsworth Park Saturday night. The Sheriff Support Group’s summer concert series  wrapped up with a crowd-pleasing mix that brought back memories for baby boomers of a certain age (that would include us).  Colley and his band, Hot August Night, played favorites from Diamond’s seemingly-endless list of songs from the 60’s on, filling up the dance floor and bringing the audience to their feet with songs sung blue and forever in blue jeans.  It was a fitting end to a great summer concert season. Until next year …  More pictures after the jump.

  1. Colley and band whip up the crowd with nostalgic tunes.
  2. Colley parlayed his resemblance to Diamond into a popular act on the community concert circuit.
  3. Colley performs a soulful number.
  4. Before the show, Colley confers with All American Audio Visual’s Van Nixholme on sound and lights.
  5. The band performs another famliar number.
  6. People just had to hit the dance floor for certain numbers — here, Altadena Sheriff Capt. John Benedict and his wife Stacey.

Timothy,

Thank you and Altadenablog for your great coverage of the 17th Annual Summer Concert Series, we at SSGA appreciate it very much as well as Altadenablog being a sponsor!

As far as how large an audience that was there last night, my best estimate is around 1,000. So many were on the dance floor it was hard to count.

See you all next year!
