Then, afterwards she hugs everybody because one of the last times she saw George before he died he hugged her and told her to pass it on, so she does (I didn't do that, nobody I went with was going to wait).

All the same, that is such a sweet story.

I saw the Liverpool Legends a couple years ago and it was good. Louise was there and she talked about George and answered questions. Then, afterwards she hugs everybody because one of the last times she saw George before he died he hugged her and told her to pass it on, so she does (I didn't do that, nobody I went with was going to wait).

Yeah, I agree that tribute bands are only good if the music is good and they're not trying to look like the Beatles. I went to a tribute band concert, and they really weren't bad, and it almost sounded (note I said "almost," not "it actually did") like I was at a live Beatles concert when I closed my eyes.

I don't have a problem with tribute bands as long as their musicianship is solid... and they're not trying to look like them. There's nothing worse than middle-aged guys impersonating twenty-somethings in moptops. There are so many songs the Beatles couldn't do live at the time, that I do enjoy finding a really good tribute band on YouTube that's managed to conquer them, like the Fab Faux.

Er, slightly getting back on topic, I haven't heard anything about the Liverpool Legends or if they're any good.

It's a bit weird, because I didn't mind the Green Day and Iron Maiden tribute bands I've seen in a pub near my house. But that's sorta different, because we didn't really pay attention and I don't know a lot of their repertoire anyway. If it was a Beatles tribute band I'd probably cringe the shit out of myself and be all frustrated and indeed annoyed by the middle aged thing. It's probably also because they're a classic and legendary band and my favourite band. Bands like GD and IM are just..bands lol

I dislike Beatles tribute bands though.

Me too! There´s a weekly Beatles tribute band at a pub near to where I live and my parents go but I shudder at the thought of it. I don´t understand why you would want to see four usually middle-aged men trying (and failing) to imitate their idols...?

Same here. Was offered the chance to go see the Bootleg Beatles but declined immediately. 2 hours of 4 guys dressed up as the beatles; all i'd do is spend the time thinking what a waste of time - ...
