Kuya Jay and Tito Ed goes to The Bootleg Beatles Concert in Manila, October 30, 2022. This is the first set. #beatles #beatlesinmanila #bootlegbeatles #onsemilvlog #onsemiltv
The REO Brothers of Tacloban is the better cover band. We can’t get enough of them here is the US and abroad while the local Filipinos pay for foreign cover bands
Cover or Tribute band ..just the same…means they sing/cover the original Band’s songs. REO Brothers preserve the original renditions while other bands put their own spin on the songs. Non Filipino fans follow them around in all their US concerts, give them gifts of guitars, drum set. They are so loved Bev they’re humble, respectful n most of all the best cover band not only of the Beatles but other great bands from the 70’s, 60’s, 80’s
Cover and Tribute are different. Tribute bands are more detailed in terms of looks, mannerism and accent, Tribute bands like The Bootleg Beatles focused in portraying of one band only while Reo Brothers make different cover songs. Reo Brothers are good, but it doesnt change the fact that Bootleg Beatles are far better in many aspects.
There is no denying that REO Brothers are great. REO Brothers can perform beatles songs properly on stage, and other songs as well. But The Bootleg Beatles can be The Beatles themselves on stage. Whichever is better depends on the listeners. If you watch the concert, The Bootleg Beatles gives the nearest Beatles experience you can get, or at least for us. This is because the sole purpose of the band is to portray The Beatles, and The Beatles only. From voice, looks, mannerisms, way of speaking, John's sarcasm and even their dialogs from previous Beatles concerts. And if you watch their performance, even Paul McCartney being left handed has also been copied. Both bands are great performers, with different purposes, and with overlapping fanbase. You can be a fan of both bands. Peace
