vuduchile 1,940 Posted September 19, 2019 My son wants to go for his birthday so we're taking him. I've never seen a tribute band before. Not sure what to expect. I did see Million Dollar Quartet and I liked it, so maybe this will be similar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,512 Posted September 19, 2019 Very fun! We saw Beatles Love in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. I prefer the music of the stones, but The Beatles were by far more impactful and influencial on the music world. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Guy 1,400 Posted September 19, 2019 Tribute bands are great especially if they NATURALLY look and sound like the artists / bands they portray. Otherwise they come across quite cheesy with bad wigs, signature moves, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted September 19, 2019 Saw a tribute that did a set as the Beatles , then one of the Stones. Both sets were very good. The lead singer was obviously more into the Stones as he had a solid Mick look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nzoner 936 Posted September 19, 2019 That looks good. Have seen a few tribute bands over the years the best being a group called Elton Dan & The Rocket Band.Going in a couple of weeks to see a Queen tribute band called Killer Queen but I'm very skeptical on that one as Queen are one of my personal favorites.I did watch a clip though and the guy playing Brian May is very impressive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my case I think that part of my reason of preferring the Stones at this point is that I played the Beatles SOOO much growing up, whereas I only heard the Stones on the radio. I think I got burned out on the Beatles somewhat, as has happened with some other bands. Also on a related note, I feel like with a Beatles tribute I'd be tunnel vision focused on comparing them to the original, whereas I'd just enjoy the Stones songs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted September 22, 2019 Pretty decent show. The musicianship was excellent and the vocals were spot on. My sons had fun and discovered a whole bunch of old music I wondered if it would be cheesy watching a buncha wannabes do other people’s music but quickly discovered I was looking at it all wrong It’s more like watching a really good biopic where the actor(s) really nail it.
