"I'd Really Love To See You Tonight (50th Anniversary Edition)"
Some songs really do stand the test of time, and this year marks 50 years since England Dan & John Ford Coley released their signature hit, “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight.” Written by Parker McGee, the song was originally one the duo wasn’t particularly interested in recording, they wanted to be known for songs they had written themselves. But after their label encouraged them to give it a try, the rest became music history. Released in 1976, the song climbed to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the defining soft-rock hits of the decade. Now, five decades later, the late “England” Dan Seals and John Ford Coley have been brought together once again for a special 50th Anniversary Edition, combining Seals’ original vocal with newly recorded vocals from Coley. It’s a remarkable musical reunion, and a wonderful reminder that some songs never really leave us.

Out & About
with SOFI TUKKER
on September 19, 2026 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA
It was much more than a concert, it was a social event that transcended the music. Sofi Tukker was there to present Animal Talk. Forget a dress code; there was an outfit guide, and the crowd understood the assignment. Spots, stripes, feathers, scales. Think textures, patterns, tropical colors, and an overload of accessories. Some even dressed up like animals. It was a trip. The set was amazing with so many favorites to fit into one night, including Bread, Best Friend, Summer in New York, Throw Some Ass, and the final song of the night, Purple Hat, which featured surprise guest Julianne Hough dancing up a storm. If you want to see a show that will make you forget about everything going on in the world and just put a smile on your face from start to finish, then go check out the Sofi Tukker – Animal Talk tour.
Have a great week,
Scott Emerson
