It was a time of record hops, cars with big fins, ponytails and beehives. The future was bright and the music on the radio and jukeboxes became the soundtrack for the rest of your life. Recorded at Caesars in Atlantic City, MALT SHOP MEMORIES: THE CONCERT brings together 12 of the greatest living legends from the late 1950s and early 60s and their phenomenal music for one fantastic evening. Hosted by Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell and Fabian, who also perform their greatest hits, MALT SHOP MEMORIES: THE CONCERT airs Saturday, August 6 at 8:30 p.m. on WTVP 47.1.

Filled with music that makes you feel good and makes you smile, MALT SHOP MEMORIES takes you back to a simpler more innocent time — when it was all about the cars, the clothes, dances, old friends and all those great memories.
