+1 for Beatlejuice. The music was dead on. When I saw them around 10 yrs ago they had the bass player from The Fools (big local Boston area band in 80's) and he was phenomenal. They all were. Glad to see that they're still doing it.

I've seen quite a few tribute bands over the years and even played at Beatlefest 3 times...the best bands that I've seen were "The Mop Tops"...in the late 90's...but then I saw the "FabFour" from LA. They are great!
If you get a chance to catch them...I highly recommend them!!!

I saw the Fab Four last year in Las Vegas with the "live" Ed. It added a nice bit of comedy to the show. I've never seen another Beatles tribute, but these guys were very good. The "George" was spot on - a great player and a ringer looks-wise.

I can't remember the name of the band but the one with the guy who looks a LOT like John is excellent.

Haha not quite. All I can remember is the "George Harrison" in the band is from Australia.

I almost had to run home to get my Hofner when the dude from Beatlemania was late for a show near me. I told the "John" that I knew all the songs and would be willing to sit in until the real "Paul" arrived. He put me on standby and at the last minute the real Paul showed up. I was ****** and happy at the same time.

Not sure about the others, but I'd rate Gary Gibson as the best Lennon.

I'm going to agree with Mark. Gary Gibson is amazing.

I'll vote for Beatlemania Now. I just saw them in Sellersville, PA. "John" looked so much like John that it was scary. Excellent look and sound. I posted a comprehensive gear list on the Rickenbacker company forum, but I can repeat it here, if anyone wants. Lots of Rickenbacker, Gretsch, and Hofner, and a few surprises.

The Mahoney Brothers are pretty good.
