Great tribute to the Beatles, from the Ed Sullivan TV show to the rooftop in London.
First, overall it's a good deal and some fun. The brunch is good, not great, the venue is pretty cool and the location is excellent. The guys are the same band that did Beatlemania 20-something years ago. Yes, that means they look pretty old and, frankly, kind of ridiculous, especially in those young Beatles outfits. None of their faces look like the Beatles' anymore. But they do a decent job of sounding like the Fab4. They're well-polished and seem to work hard. It's a tourist crowd of course. I came in from the suburbs with my wife and 7 year old. Our main complaint is that it's too loud for this kind of crowd. It was very loud. This is not Who tribute band, it's the Beatles in a fairly small club with old people and little kids in the audience. We ended up moving to the back row where it was more tolerable.
yesterday all my troubles seem so far away .....in my life, when I was forteen i always hear the songs of Beatle that are my favourite band. At B.B. King blues club and grill I spend a very great day and I am very very full of satisfactio
Band was good, impossible to pick up all Beatle songs in short time, but they were very effective in conveying the general feel of the stages of Beatle music. Food was really good. Catfish, mac and cheese, buffalo wings, caesar salad too mention a few of the favorites of the group I was in, were good. We weren't expecting such it to be as good, and were happy that it was.
I really liked this performance at B.B. Kings. The overall setting for this event was perfect. I never experienced the Beatles live, but this band made me feel like I was transported back to the 1960's. In the future, I plan to take other family members to the brunch session so they can enjoy the same experience I had.
We had a blast!!!! The band Strawberry Fields was exceptional and alot of fun!!!! they made us laugh and most ,most importantly they were such an authentic tribute band to the Beatles. My boyfriend and I are huge beatles fans and I had gotten the tickets for his Birthday! It was unbelievable how much they sounded just like the Beatles...I would definately see them again!!!
We have seen this show 4 times... and will continue to go back!!!!
If you don't mind being a part of a 6 party crowed at a table that's made to seat 4 then this is for you, Great cover band, nice view of the stage, just wish the room wasn't so crowed. I was at the end of the table and people kept stepping on my foot whenever they walked by
It was amazing! They were so friendly as well as being great musicians! I absolutely loved the show and now want my family to see and experience it too!
We took our two kids, 15 & 12, to the show. The music was very good and the members of Strawberry Fields are great musicians. They played a very good variety of Beatles songs and played them very well. Our 12 year old son is very into the Beatles and enjoyed the show. Our 15 year old daughter was not as enthusiastic and it may have been because the musicians are bit older. The venue was comfortable and small enough to make the show intimate. The only negative was that our feet stuck to the carpeted floor and you could smell stale beer in the air.
Great show as usual. These guys are so talented and seem to really enjoy what they are doing.
It was a fun time. The performance was fun and engaging, they were great musicians. The brunch was plentiful and delicious and was served for the entire performance. We had a great time and just loved B.B. Kings.
I took my friend for her birthday and she loved it! The band was spot on musically and they played a great selection of songs from the span of The Beatles entire career. They also had great interaction with the crowd. It's definitely a fun time of eating, drinking and dancing.
No, Strawberry Fields is not the Beatles. And the good news is, they no longer pretend to be, as they did back in their Beatlemania days. Yes, they dress up like the Beatles, and they imitate some of the mannerisms of the Beatles. But it's not slavish imitation. It's more tongue in cheek, which is fitting for the Beatles. That said, they do an excellent job playing the music. For $40, you get great music, good food, dessert, coffee, tea and juice. Tip is included. I've seen Stawberry Fields twice and I'm sure I'll see them again.
the show was great. The band did an excellent job and the singers were terrific. It was truly enjoyable and the atmosphere was great. The food was good and there was more than enough to go around. The only thing wrong was that you could not smoke during the show, but that has nothing to do with the caliber of the show or the venue. It was great show, one I would go to again......................
It was great to see such an authentic and fun Beatles cover band. we had a great time!! cant wait to go again.
Great Beatles review, they played quite a few of the big hits from three different beatles era. Lots of fun. The food was decent but could have been better cosidering the price
This was the third time we have been to BB King's to see Strawberry Fields, and a trip to NYC is not complete unless you attend this show. The food is great and the band is unbelievable
Unbeliveable you can close your eyes and go back in time. I have never heard a tribute band sound exactly like the orginals.
