About Beatles vs. Stones

Beatles vs. Stones on Tour

It’s the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll riddle. Who was the greatest band of the ‘60s: the lovable moptops from Liverpool or the bad boys from London? The Beatles vs. Stones live revue doesn’t purport to provide a definite answer, but it will present two equally convincing cases, as two tribute bands square off in a British Invasion battle royale. Playing the role of The Beatles is Abbey Road, who re-create the Fab Four’s most iconic looks - from the well-dressed lads seen on The Ed Sullivan Show to the psychedelic circus showmen in Sgt. Pepper uniforms - as they take you on a magical musical tour through one of rock’s most revered repertories. And representing the Stones side is tribute act Satisfaction (aka The International Rolling Stones Show), whose uncannily Jaggeresque frontman, Chris LeGrand, peacocks his way through the band’s myriad eras, up into the ‘80s. The two bands each perform three alternating sets, trading some cheeky trash talk along the way. But despite their legendary rivalry, The Beatles and Rolling Stones were actually good friends in real life, and in that spirit, this musical showdown comes to a peacefully rousing conclusion. The two groups join forces at the end for a joint jam, thereby answering the question, What would Lennon and McCartney sound like belting out the chorus to “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”?

Beatles vs. Stones Background

Though its members did make a small handful of TV appearances and recordings together, The Beatles and Rolling Stones never actually performed on the same concert bill before the Fab Four retired from the road in 1966. So in 2011, The Beatles vs. Stones tribute show was launched in Los Angeles to retroactively rectify that situation by bringing together the world’s premier Beatles and Rolling Stones tribute acts on one stage - Abbey Road and Satisfaction. Since then, the show has toured across America and around the world, while hosting residencies at Harrah’s casinos in Reno and Laughlin, Nevada.

    Really good show at my favorite venue. I am a lifelong Rolling Stones fan and didn’t expect to really even like a Stones cover band yet alone one of the Beetles. These guys sound really good and the energy is fantastic.

  • Disappointed!

    Saw this show twice. Once back in 2016 and again in Feb. 2017. The first time was so good we decided to go again. The second show was disappointing. 1. The "Mick Jagger" performer was different and the new one did not have the same stage presence as the first one. 2. Both Bands seemed to cut down the number of songs in each set. 3. The sound at the venue was not good. At times you would lose the vocals as they were drowned out by the instrumental. Doesn't seem like their sound engineer is paying attention.

  • The characters were great!

    A comparison is perhaps not fair as The Beatles and The Stones were/are 2 very different bands. Both groups were portrayed as the younger bands, and again 5-6 years into their careers. The costumes and hairstyles changed with the years. In the case of the Stones, some of the group members changed. We saw Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, Bill Wyman come and go, and then Ronnie Wood come and stay. The portrayal of the characters of Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and Keith Richards were outstanding. I had to marvel at the toss of the head from Keith, the way he makes this "duck face" when he's playing and really enjoying himself, excellently done. Even the speech pattern matched in the actors that had speaking parts. The guitar playing was quite good in both bands. I enjoyed the drumming, but the drummers were hidden from view from me as the keyboard was in the way. The music of the Stones is not as easy to play as the music of the Beatles. The Stones have a special sound that didn't quite come through, and maybe it shouldn't. I know the real Keith spent a lot of time perfecting that sound, and only he can do that. However, the music was energetic and got the audience to their feet. There was a special touch, a local high school string section played some songs with both bands. I definitely recommend this show!

  • Fun and entertaining!

    Both bands did a great job of covering the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Costumes, mannerisms and voices were spot on. Very fun to sing along with

  • Super fun, rockin' show

    Both tribute bands were really good! Beatles sounded great musically. Stones rocked! Singer looked amazingly like a young Mick Jagger! Same for the Keith Richards - uncanny! I highly recommend this "concert"!!

  • good times and good Tunes

    Interesting concept with a battle of the bands that were Beatles came out strong with an excellent first-half but the Stones took the prize in the second half

  • Amazing show! Great entertainment!

    I would definitely go again and would recommend this to anyone. Very entertaining!

  • Great Fun!

    Both groups were very talented and quite witty. I would expect this show to take off in popularity soon. "Mick Jagger" was a particular dead-ringer!

  • Beatles vs. Stones... A tie!

    by LesRock on 12/28/14Harrahs showroom - LaughlinRating: 5 out of 5

    Saw this show in Laughlin, and so glad we went! Both bands are wonderful musicians/entertainers that make for a memorable, fun, and high energy night!!! "Mick" is hilarious and sexy, while "Paul and John" made me feel , just 17! The whole crowd got into this tribute and we enjoyed hearing so many classic- favorites! Their costumes and wigs helped you get into that period and for awhile....be lost in the great music! Which band was better? From Day Tripper to Beast of Burden... It was a smashing tie! Awesome! Anyone who doesn't love this show.... Is not a rock n roll fan! Go see it!

  • The show was decent, enjoyed it.

    The show was a decent show. The Beatles started out and did a decent job. I am a huge Beatles fan and had such high expectations for them putting on a great show especially reading that they are the 'worlds foremost Beatles tribute band' well I disagree but did enjoy the show nevertheless. Then the Stones came out... They were terrific. The lead singer I believe was Mick's own son. They were very entertaining. I did not expect either band to dress up like their bands, this was okay, but to see these guys in wigs and garb from the era was okay, but a 70 year old guy in a mop top was over the top. I would have enjoyed it just the same if not better in their street clothes. Both bands were great musicians. The music was great. The Keith Richards humor was right on. I am glad I went... but I would not go again.
