I remember seeing the Fab Four every week at Scruffy O' Shea's in Marina Del Rey when they were first starting out. For the life of me, I could not understand why there were not people lined up for a mile down the sidewalk to get in to see these guys. I was just blown away at their brilliance and knew I was seeing something special. Well all these years later, it looks like the world has finally caught up with the genius of this band. Quite frankly, no other Beatles tribute even touches them.
These Guys Lead the Pack, when it comes to Beatles Tribute Bands . They play the Songs as they should be played . Along with the Humor that The Beatles were known for. This is as close as it gets to actually being there . One Giant Thumbs Up for this One.
I have been following these guys for about 16yrs and this was the most creative show I have seen them do. Thank you Ron, Ardy, Gavin and Erik. It was great seeing Rolo on stage playing with you guys, again. Great seeing Gilbert, Frank, Jerry, and thanks for the introduction to David. This was Ron's baby. Love it!
I've found one! Finally! I've been searching for The Fan Four tribute perfs. of 'You're Going to Lose That Girl' and 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away' Thank you so much! Hoping to hear this in the future, and to see them too! God bless you!
I've got my tickets for this years OC fair. Do you?? lol Can't wait. It will be my first time seeing them and will be going with a friend who saw them back in the sixties when they first came to CA and did the show at the Hollywood Bowl!! :)
I have personally seen them many times...I've also seen many of the other tribute Beatle bands.these guys are the real deal..after show met each one took pictures they were so nice looked at the picture I had just taken and said take a few more .
Usually most of The Fab Four Concerts I've attended usually have the same songs repeated at each concert, but this concert at the OC Fair was better than usual. There are some songs I have not heard performed live until I saw this video. Thanks for the upload! I hope you can post the dance from "Your Mother Should Know" I saw a still photo of them dancing on FaceBook.
This is further proof of the awesomeness of the Fab Four. All those other tribute bands like Rain, Beatlemania, with their disgusting right handed bass playing wife beater looking Pauls with the crooked mustaches show none of the mannerisms of the Beatles like the Fab Four do. Furthermore, they play the obscure gems as well unlike the others. Very well done Ron, Ardy, Gavin, and Eric. And also kudos to Michael Amador and Rolo.
Could this be another evolution for the Fab Four from the stuff they've usually done before? I think its fantastic. I love it when they don't play the hits but go in deep into the catalogue. Perhaps Ron and Ardy will tackle --Tomorrow Never Knows-- one of these days. Or "Its All Too Much or Sexy Sadie? The sky's the limit. They can do practically anything.
there should be an oscar for these guys, the best beatles ever! sure you heard that one before. there is some new information i want to give you: they are the REAL BEATLES, no im not crazy its true, there next tour is in november and the next album is going to be out by december , i know the name of it Paul told me, the name is "Let it Continue" just kidding hey ho lets go!!
FABtastic as always but, "Who's the little man" in the background??? My mate told me that there was someone else "Standing in the shadows"in a medley video he watched, and I heatedly informed him of his error, and that the "Boys" NEVER do that, and that they pride themselves,(MUCH to their credit) in stating that what you see and hear is without a "fifth Beatle". Well I had to regretfully (and asshamedly) apologize to said mate. Guys, your the B E S T out there, but if ya gotta add a "Fifth" for this number, then please drop it from the list! Gb bg
I don't think this was their normal show, because normally, it's just the four Beatles' impersonators. Since they were doing a Beatles' movie tribute, they probably appreciated the extra help. Also, they've done "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with a fifth person playing rhythm guitar while "George" wails.
In some original Beatles records, they had a "fifth" Beatle. Billy Preston played the keyboard on almost every song on Let It Be, and George Martin did the Piano Solos on In My Life and Not A Second Time
I get why the lads did this. For me, the staging with all the extras distracted and did not aid. I would hate for this to be the show offered if I lived away from SoCal and had one chance a year, if that, to see them. The best of the best - the classics - are in the original show. That's the ONE I most need to see. I did not like that they had to add a musician on stage. He should be kept offstage George Martin was never a performer now, was he? Not worth the quid invested, Ron. Sorry
