I had the privilege of seeing them live at Beatlefest Los Angeles 1985. They are fantastic. I was dancing and screaming my head off.

My wife and I attended this Beatlefest. All those that stayed at the hotel Saturday night had one hell of a Beatle party most were highly intoxicated on one thing or another. Singing and laughing and enjoying each others company till security made us all go back to our own rooms around 2:30 AM. Think Pete best was there. Maybe it was his look-a-like. It was actually the best part of the whole day. The other thing that stood out was they had one guy singing and playing solo at a grand piano doing Mother and other Lennon songs He was a dead ringer for John's voice. I also went to the fest in 1980 in the Loop.

Saw them in Liverpool 1995. It was like actually seeing Lennon in the flesh. It was unbelievable actually. The raw energy. When you closed your eyes it was his actual voice….unreal.

Randy R I don't think so , Lennon lasted until the mid 90's then did a hundred and one things as Lennon or as a band , they carried on with a few Lennon's as replacements for a long time . they used to do the Xmas eve bash for a long time at my local music venue but can't remember them being advertised the last few , McCartney was awesome too , in fact they all were brilliant . that could play any song called out from the crowd . sorry to be a bit vague , google them .

I also saw them at Beatlefest Los Angeles in ‘85. From where I sat, vocally and visually I believed I was watching John Lennon. Still one of the best “Lennon’s” I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot!

Actually, the real Pete Best wasn't really that bad on drums. Have you actually hear him play? He's nowhere near Ringo's skill, but he's still hella good.

Anyone know of a Beatles tribute that has a really good Paul that's on par with how good Gary is as John? Most I've seen might have the voice but don't look like him or are too short. Or they have somewhat of the look but not the voice.

How about Mitch Weissman of The original Beatlemania Broadway's cast? He eventually learned to play left handed. And he naturally had all the other stuff (except for the singing voice for the role of McCartney, that took him about a year to master).

@@imnotthewalrus880 Thank you. Yeah I found a couple of KZitem videos on your rec. He really did look like Paul more than any other Beatle tribute I've seen. If he looked that much like him up close I can only imagine how much he looked like him from the audience view watching Beatlemania live. I don't think there are any current "Paul's" out there that are this close. 😔

@@dcool2u2 there sorta is two I know who are pretty close in looks, and are even better with copying Paul's vocals almost perfectly. Ardy Sarraf of The Fab Four, and the new "Paul" of the much younger Beatles tribute band "Beatology". You can find him on Instagram, forgot his name, though.

Best parts of this band? John Lennon singer and lead guitar licks by the "George" fill-in. But was this band mainly just a John Lennon Tribute show? I think the other guy in the Beatles was called Paul McCartney and he how a powerful lead singing and harmony voice, too. But was this his night off when this video was made? As a drummer myself for decades since the Beatles came, I know all the Beatles drum parts. This drummer is playing way too loud and kind of sloppy turn-arounds and badly tuned drums. It's a non-descript drum set with no proper mics amplifying. I love John Lennon, always did! He was my favorite member of the Beatles. I miss him dearly. (I used to be co-manager of Rain - the first ever Beatle tribute in the world. Chet Actis was their manager, and Dick Clark was our "producer", in name only. )

Actually, the band "Cavern" wasn't a Lennon tribute act, NOR a Beatles tribute band. They were just Gary Gibson's band. And because Gary naturally looked and sounded just like John Lennon, they covered some Beatles tunes, along with some earlier rock songs The Beatles would have covered in 1961/1962. They also wrote some pretty good "Beatle-esqe" originals that are up on KZitem.

John Lennon hadn't been so hoarse voice. However, it's very good performance.
