We went to see the group RAIN (a Beatles tribute band) last night and it was jolly good.
The lads could play and sing and had watched hours and hours of tape because their mannerisms, expressions and playing style resembled the original group.
It’s hard enough playing on your own.
These guys had it down - it was a fun night.
Even the drummer had copied the sweeping motion that Ringo utilizes with his right hand.
Costume changes, a journey through time all to the delight of the aging crowd.
It probably felt a bit like actually being at a Beatles concert - well except for the nudity, the drugs, the marijuana, and the draft card / bra burning (though I had one in my pocket just in case).
The quote of the night came from an "up in years" man explaining to another person that most of those later songs didn’t make much sense unless you were on acid.
I wasn’t close enough to see if he was editorializing or fondly remembering.
