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.
I love going to tribute concerts because they are really more like sing-along events. The venue was quite small so pretty much everyone had a great seat. My friend and I sang and seat danced throughout the whole concert. This was such a fun night. I loved every minute of it!
Tribute bands at their best. Lots of fun and sing along time. Some were dancing in the aisle. The "Beatles" had a pretty organized show and great costumes. The "Stones" were pretty much spot on, especially the one who played Mick Jagger. Because of some of the lyrics to some of the songs, I would not recommend for children under 16. References to drugs and sex in some of the songs. All in all, pretty much fun for us Boomers!
Was a lot of fun. We even took our granddaughters 9 and 13 and they enjoyed it.
Beatles had instrument problems and hacked through it. Stones lead vocalist lost voice but great stage act.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. both of these bands performed above our expectations. They were very engaging with the audience. The appearances were good enough to enjoy the likenesses. Paul even played a left handed bass guitar. I have seen several other tribute bands for the Beatles and Stones and these two by far were the best. Their humor poking fun at each other make it all the better. Highly recommend.
Excellent concert-I hope they come back to St Louis
Great entertaining show, had the people all involved
This show was fun! If I could give 4.5 Stars, I would. There is no better way to describe it. The Beatles were spot on. Musically, the Stones were too, albeit the Mick Jagger singer was a bit off. But still very good. It was a lively, uptempo, playful ride of musical bliss. The top songs of both bands were executed with respectful accuracy. The audience was engaging and receptive. Folks in their 70's to a small child with her father were dancing in the aisles. And, of course, there were the groupie girls (+50 yr old women) constantly popping up and down from their seats and to the front of stage - like the screaming girls of yesteryear at live concerts! I was surprised that only one show was offered at the Hobby Center and that it was not a sell-out. It very well should have been. It was far under promoted. Those who missed it - really missed it. I imagine it may roll around Houston again in the future. If so, you must go. This show was fun!
The group as the Beatles were great. The band as the Rolling Stones was only ok. The lead singer did not hit the notes good. Over all, we really enjoyed the performance.
Left show after 30 minutes, Terrible show great venue.
The music was fantastic. Since I have never seen The Beatles in person, it is hard to compare how well the performers are like the real Beatles but they were "spot on" for their music. I may not be as big of a fan of The Rolling Stones as I am The Beatles, but the Stones' music was very good. I have seen The Rolling Stones in person and did not feel that the main vocalists portrayed the real musicians as well as could be. But overall, it was a very entertaining evening.
Both groups did a very good job. Hard to pick a ‘winner.’
It was a fun night at the Lexington Opera House! This venue is great for this type of show. The musicians were very good and really seemed to enjoy performing. They involved the audience and the audience was very responsive. I thought Chris Legrand as Mick Jagger edged out the rest with his performance. Go see this and you will not be disapointed!
Great show by both bands. Choice of music fit the bill of my expections. Very much a fun night of great music and showmenship
Fun show, talented musicians.a great way to spend an evening.
The venue was great, not a bad seat in the house. The show was amazing and the Mick Jagger character was a hoot! He brought down the show!
This was a great show. Was a Vegas-type extravaganza? No. But it was great live music performed by bands who knew what they were doing. The costumes were fun and audience interaction was great. I didn’t know if my date and would like it and we ended up loving it. The Stones singer was absolutely the best part! I’m mid to late 40’s and grew up with this music.
Abby Road vs Jumping Jack Flash Tribute was a fun trip into the past. I have always liked both the Beatles and Rolling Stones. All the musicians in this show are very talented. The show looks and sounds great. Nice length show. The Fox Theater is a fantastic place to see a band(s). The theater staff made this a fun night for all. Recommended !
Went with my parents and 7&8 year old kids. We all had a great time. The bands took turns playing short sets and dressed up for each time period. The show ended with a joint song. Truly a fun show. Hope to see it again.
Both bands were excellent. This was my second time attending this concert, and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. Both bands have so much energy and talent!
