Fab Four!!

Post by beatlefan »

Just got back from Las Vegas LATE last night. Had front row, center seats for this concert and man, was I blown away!! They are playing at the Las Vegas Hilton for a couple of weeks. Every one of them are fantastic musicians. "Paul" was almost dead on, as was "John", George and Ringo were not close in looks, but played the parts very well. They are probably as close as you'll get to the "real thing", musically speaking. "John" is played by Ron McNeil and IS John to a T. His keyboarding is beyond description....

Indeed Chris, I saw them last May 2003 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. It was a great night. It was a theatrical performance as they were in character throughout the entire show. Great vocals. My only criticism was that "George" was too outgoing.

George was indeed outgoing.

I especially enjoyed the "later years" Beatles.
Paul had a C64FG as his only RIC.

I would not miss it Gary. I would squeeze out ever bit of time I could to see them if I lived near the OC.

I guess the VCR will be needed on the 9th: Stargate SG-1's 8th and final season starts the night of the concert!

Awh hell, final season? I really like that show. Do you think that spinoff looks any good?

Wow, with a symphony orchestra. The Fab Four might be playing some interesting selections I must say.

Ronn, I have high expectations for Stargate Atlantis. The bits and pieces I've seen in the promo stuff look good, but it will all depend on the cast. We'll see in a couple of weeks.

I will try to keep track of what songs are performed Friday at the concert.
