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.

According to the web site you linked to, they were in Effingham, IL last night. (3 points if you know where that is). You sure do get around!
Surely what you saw wasn’t a copy of the copy. I see some pretty slick marketing here.

Tonight a neighbor came over to ask wife for help for an English class. The neighbor had to recite a poem, and one of the choices was HELP, she said, by Lennon and McCartney. She was surprised we’d heard of it, ’cause she never had…

saw them a few years ago, good show. Couldn’t get that Paul’s attention either.
