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.
Both tribute bands were dead on! My husband and I , along with everyone else in attendance, danced in our seats and sang along to every song. I wanna' thank everyone involved or putting in the time it took to put that show together. It was wonderful!!!
Excellent show from beginning until the end! Whether a Beatles or Stones fan you should love it all. Superior playing and singing by ALL concerned. Almost like being at a concert of the originals . . . and some of the songs were never performed in concert by the Beatles. If you get the opportunity, don't miss this show!!!
Mick jagger was phenomenal Great venue Loved everything about them
What a great show. Both groups could play theire instruments and sing. The beatle songs sounded just like the fab four and The Rolling Stones with the Mick JAGGER look alike, had so much energy, jumping around, dancing and mingling with the audience. Great show I would see it again.
Musically, the show was fun after a faulty start on the vocals during the first "Beatles" set. My problems with with the venue. The stage was at floor level and even though you paid more for the tickets in section 1, you'd have likely been better off further back. Clearly, this room is not made for music, otherwise there would have been a raised stage. Then, during intermission there was only 1 bartender and the line was extremely long. And don't get me going on parking in Boca - nightmare!!!!
The Beatles opened in their 1960 Ed Sullivan suits and played accordingly! Conversely the Stones opened dressed casually and played their hard edged style tunes. When the Beatles returned, they were in 1970s garb and played Something to open the second set. Mick had a beautiful red sparkly jacket & matching scarf in his second go round. He also battled with the mike stand three times running Into it, over it, & around it. To conclude, the Boys from England performed brilliantly and brought us all back many years. Of course, the Beatles get the edge. The melodies are much nicer and their guitarists excellent. Meanwhile back Ringo was his usual unique self!
Such wonderful talent. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Great show.
We went to see this show with a group of friends. The Beatles we the BEST. They got in singing along snd dancing in the aisles. Not a small feat since I just had back surgery
A lot of these tribute bands are a lot of fun. Unfortunately, not this one. This was billed as a war between the Beatles and the Stones but the “Stones” were so not in character that the audience couldn’t get into the action. The vocalist playing Mick Jagger was such a poor choice….five foot with a beer belly and absolutely no sex appeal….gave a very lackluster performance. We escaped after the “Beatles” second set which was quite good. On a good note…it got us out of the house!
The bands were good, very entertaining, definitely worth growing
The music was terrific and the stage presentation was great as well! We particularly liked the Beatles group, not just because we prefer their music, but also because they related better with the audience. An exceptional performance…one of our favourite tribute shows!
The Beatles vs Stones was a very entertaining show. Both bands were tight so the music was awesome! Their song choice was also awesome!
Awesome concert had a great time Beatles won ! Loved all the songs brought us back to our teenage years great memories!
The Beatles were outstanding but the Stones were awful. Their base was overpowering. You couldn't hear the melodies. Half way through you could hear a word or two and figure out the song, but it was hard to determine what songs they sang. Very disappointing.
They sounded authentic. They really interacted with the audience. Great time.
Great show at the Bijou! Both bands were excellent! "Mick Jagger" was really entertaining. Mother's Little Helper was a pleasant surprise from the "Stones." Gimme Shelter was great. A Day In The Life was the highlight of "The Beatles" set.
I thought we would enjoy the show, but it exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, the music was fantastic, authentic, and really well done. Next the journey through time was fun, including the era appropriate outfits.
The Beatles were great but the stones stole the show! Very entertaining and affordable!
We thoroughly enjoyed the talent and the effort put into this show. Very well executed and worth the time!
It was a great show and our first time at The Bijou
