Legendary British Rock band 10cc finally returned to the U.S. for the first time in over four decades. Bassist/vocalist Graham Gouldman was part of Ringo Starr’s All-Star Band in 2018 where he performed 10cc hits “Things We Do For Love,” “I’m Not in Love,” and “Dreadlock Holiday.” 10cc stopped at the United Theater on Broadway (Formerly Theater at Ace Hotel) August 15th. Opening the show was Cheap Trick frontman Robin Zander’s son Robin Taylor solo acoustic. 10cc is made up of classic lineup members Gouldman, guitarist Rick Fenn, and drummer Paul Burgess with keyboardist Keith Hayman, and vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Andy Park is filling in for Ian Hornal as he will be on tour with Jeff Lynne’s ELO. This 18 song set included their hits “Things We Do For Love,” “I’m Not in Love,” and “Dreadlock Holiday.” The encore began with the members singing “Donna” acapella and followed with “Rubber Bullets” to close the show.

Colin Hay, Simon Phillips, Frank Ferrer, and Matt Pinfield were all in attendance.
