Good Entertainment
by JasperDog on 2012-06-21Kelowna Community Theatre - KelownaHaving seen Beatlemania and Rain a few times over the years, I don't know if I feel the same excitement that I used to over seeing a Beatles tribute - but these guys were definitely entertaining. I expected the performance to be a bit tighter considering how long they've been touring and how many venues these guys have been at, but it was still a well put-together and performed performance. I would have liked to have seen more later Beatles (Sgt. Peppers and later) and less Germany/Cavern/Ed Sullivan Beatles - but lots of people probably liked the first part. The high point was definitely Helter Skelter - you could feel the energy - whereas Hey Jude seemed tired and just having been done at the end of too many shows. I would like to see them do the songs they want to do as opposed to the obligatory 15 or so that seem to pop up in every Beatles tribute. That being said - I honestly can't think of a better way to spend a Tuesday night in Kelowna to celebrate something that happened 45 years ago - and if they come through town again on tour, count me in!
