Went to see the "Bootleg Beatles" at the Music Hall in Aberdeen. A BIG disappointment.

I first saw them many years ago, and thought that they were excellent and authentic sounding due to contemporary amplifiers and instruments.
With a number of personnel changes etc.. that authenticity had faded and the show was too much of a "hey all you oldies (the average age must have been near 70) get up and clap and shout and scream and pretend you're 13 again."

There were a few redeeming features such as "Paul's" rendition of "Yesterday" , "Let it be" and "George's" "While my guitar gently weeps", but the real stars were the 6 backing musicians (brass, strings and keyboard). Mrs. L enjoyed the music, but not all the 'ballyhoo'.

Well, you can't win them all.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

I went to see Australian Pink Floyd last November,they're not look a likes but it was all about the music.I missed them in my younger years and regretted it. A night to remember lot of classics the Wall was featured heavily with lasers inflatable pigs,and teachers,the music was brilliant and I would like to see them again the family came with me some said it was ok the youngest she's 40 said It's too loud.

We are off to see Madness soon, and our average age wont be far off 70 as well. At least its the 'real thing', with most of the band not too much younger. Seen a few tribute bands this year, and got to admit i never left my chair once. It must be awkward with 'younger' artists trying to get the 'old gits' moving.

If you get chance - and they are touring a lot - go to see Mandy Watsons "Cloudbusting" Kate Bush tribute. Its fab, and unlike other KB tributes, respectful.

Have a look on Youtube at a bunch of 20-something Brazilians called Black Bird Band, there is a full concert on there that is amazing. They don`t pretend to look like The Beatles but the sound is the closest I have ever heard. Here is a link, if it will work.
