Venue
Crest Theatre - Sacramento
The Nowhere Man who posted is a jealous wanna be from a little regional Florida Beatle Band. LOL Yesterday, the Las Vegas Beatles Tribute had 1500 people standing and cheering. They were absolutely fantastic. The best I've ever seen and I've seen them all.
These guys were terrible. Not worth the $$$. I saw the Beatles tribute band "Twist and Shout" in NH a few years ago and they were fantastic. "Yesterday", Ugh!!!
My wife & I went to the show and really enjoyed all of it. The show was fast paced and the music & ... the sound system were really superb. Incorporating the video definitely added a nice dimension. The seats were comfortable and the view was perfect. The performance was terrific. I really never cared for the song Yellow Submarine all that much. For some reason their version was great!? I know I'm not, really, watching the Beatles... but their look and even the banter was witty & fun. I would have liked one song, All You Need Is Love. It should replace the National Anthem; but not until trump is out. And I love the outfit change from the ties & jackets (that I so well remember) to the Sgt. Pepper outfits. We would see them again, anywhere.
This band was terrific. Their sound was so realistic, that when one closed the eyes, one could swear the original Beatles were playing! Hopefully they will come to our area again.
Enjoyed it. Many songs, almost 2 hours. Their manurisim were spot on. John portrayer was the wise guy just like Lennon you would see in old clips. Wished they would have sung Let it be.
This is more like a high school production than a real Las Vegas show. None of the players even attempted to come close to looking like, or acting like, their associated character. The costumes appeared cheesy and cheap with little to no effort to be realistic or authentic. We've seen other Beatles bands that do a much better job of looking like, acting like, playing like and singing like the real deal. "John" had a very rough voice, which only worked with "Revolution." Otherwise, he was not the smooth vocal we needed to hear. Paul did OK with his vocals, as did George with background. Ringo seemed old and worn out, not wanting to be there. Musically, they got most of it right, but did mess up some of it. They also messed up a few lyrics, too. The segues were long and poorly timed. After a few songs, they'd just walk of the dark stage. That was really awkward. The venue acoustics were not very good. The room had a flat floor and low ceiling. The stage looked right out of high school, video film accompaniment and all. Special seating was only available to wrist-banded people, of which we were never told how to become one.
This concert was decent, but not memorable. Talent was average, and the concert was only 75 minutes. Considering this group was not the Beatles this concert should have lasted at least 1 1/2 hours. I could have skipped this one, and I LOVE the Beatles.
It's been 25 years since I last saw a Beatles tribute band, and Yesterday didn't disappoint. They played a good mix of songs across the timeline of the bands transition across their tenure. The costumes were very appropriate for the "years" they represented.
Great sound - good band; very much like the Beatles!
I was hoping for more songs than they played. I had seen a Beatles tribute band earlier in the year with the Mobile Symphony Orchestra that was much better. Still a great night out with friends!!!
