Only saw him once in concert in the 1980s.  It was at RFK stadium at a WHFS festival where he sang just before the Ramones came on stage.  I guess they were thinking the crowd would mellow out some before the chaos that awaited.  I was down in the mosh pit and it was quite an experience.  RIP Tony - he did some great duets with Lady Gaga in the last decade and to me was from the generation that had so much class and that we never see the likes of again.

Here’s some text from the Washington Post the day after the show.

Mike, you said it perfectly.RIP.

Gone but not forgotten. I think that he might have been last performer from the Rat Pack era to die.

RIP

Mike
