I saw the Beatles August 15, 1965 At New York Mets She Stadium. I was 13 years old. Seats right behind 3rd base dugout. Fab Four brought me back in time, this tribute band nailed it.

My 17 year old daughter has been a complete Beatles fan since she was 5 or 6. I’ve taken her to see these guys twice and she’s been hoarse both times and loved ‘em! If you’re a Beatles fan or your kid is, by all means, go see these guys, they’re as close as you’ll come without a time machine. Cheers!

The drummer in this footage is the original 'Fab Four' drummer, he is perhaps one of the best Beatle drummers about, apart from Ringo himself.

[@coolgr3y997]

The ringo here was Erik. Rolo was the original ff drummer.

[@nevillede-hoedt6520]

@@coolgr3y997 I am going back to before Gavin came on board as George, they had Ron as John, Ardy as Paul, Eric as Ringo, and another dude as George, but he never looked like George, he played OK, and he still comes in as a filler, but he also comes on as Eric Clapton, when the need arises. So he is still definately in the team. I see him in Ardy's 'Wings' tribute show, as one of the guitarists, and Ron plays keyboards. Quite a good show. 'The Fab Four' did a black and white doco, about themselves, a day in the life of 'The Fab Four', where they are getting ready for a show, behind the scenes and talking about their passion about having everything as authentic to the Beatles as they possibly can. Eric is on drums, and he comes close to emulating Ringo, where Rolo doesn't, but he plays good drums. Eric I think is a better drummer, but again, each to their own. This was done quite a few years ago, back before Adam came on the scene Adam was well entrenched in 'The Bootleg Beatles' tribute band back at the time of this documentary feature. Gavin had not long come on board as George. It seems a lot more member's have come into the mix, so 'The Fab Four' can continue. Very well done.

It's like Broadway Productions that go around the country...there's the one that Stays in NY and the ones that go on the road. It's still Broadway quality, mind. But, back in the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA days and you were in Cincinnati hoping to see Michael Crawford and saw this Young kid instead? Sure, we were initially disappointed but the guy was astounding.

The Ed Sullivan guy needs to get off the stage once the show actually starts!

[@nevillede-hoedt6520]

Yeah, I know what you mean, but 'The Fab Four' do their little tribute to 'Hard Days Night' film where Paul's grandfather, is played by Sitcom comedienne W. Brambel (old Steptoe) where he comes up onto the stage (on a platform lift type) while the Beatles are doing their show, where they need to remove him off the stage. During the train ride Brambel is sitting with 'The Beatles', and John Lennon asks them all "who was the little old man", and Paul answers by saying he was his grandfather, and they discuss the fact that he was his other grandfather. Obviously they had met and knew his grandfather, but not this one. In 'The Fab Four's' stage show, John asks "whose the little old man", where Paul says, "what little old man"? and John says, "that little old man", and Paul says, "oh, that's our host, Mr Ed", and asks the audience to say "hello to Mr Ed!". Then John says, "No, Mr Ed's a Horse, a Horse", and Paul says "of course, ofcourse", and Ed then leaves the stage. The comedienne playing Ed Sullivan, is accually a fine all round musician, he plays guitar, bass and keyboards, also sings, so his part in the team is a versatile part. Sometimes you will notice him playing with the (Fab 4) Other Beatle tribute shows have started adopting the Ed Sullivan character for the host of their shows, but none do it quite as good as 'The Fab Four's, not as convincing. The real Ed Sullivan did actually say, and it was pure spontaneity, and he didn't notice himself at the time, he said, "we have a really big shoe for you tonight". So 'The Fab Four' do try to be authentic with their script, and bring a bit of comedy to their show. When Adam Hastings came into the act, he took on Ron's lines and said the same lines, as Adam looks and sounds more like the real John Lennon, it came across better, because of his mannerism's being more like John Lennon. But Ron does well, after all, it is his show, his script's. They're very good.
