From the opening song, mimicking a live taping (down to the facial ticks and hand gestures), to the taped "what was going on this year" sections between acts, this show was fun, upbeat and performed with love. The four lads were great performers and even better musicians. They interacted with the crowed with ease and, by the end of the show, everyone was on their feet. I have only two complaints, the first being a a small hiccup in the sound which in no way affected the feel of the show, but was noticeable, the second being that it was simply not long enough. I want more!! There were so many songs I wanted to hear (ie Rain... where was that?!) and while I know they could never do everything, I would have been completely cool with another half hour! But then, I guess that's a good thing, leave 'em wanting more :)The music was performed faithfully and with care, but not so much so that there wasn't any fun or flair to the show itself. This was a fun night out and I highly recommend it.

<p>There are other acts who respectfully attempt to replicate a subset of the Beatles' music, but only Rain can perform the full range of the Beatles discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that the Beatles themselves recorded in the studios but never performed for an audience. No other rendition of the Fab Four's music comes close to this level of performance, which has taken years of mastery and attention to detail that is unmatched. From the early days of their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, through the Sgt. Pepper era and on to the Abbey Road years, RAIN's performance captures it all flawlessly.</p>
<p>Rain: The Beatles Experience is a multi-media, multi-dimensional event which features 5 different scene and costume changes, 3 video screens, and live camera projection, combining television commercials and historical video footage from the '60's. As anyone who has witnessed Rain in concert will attest, the music is first and foremost, and is recreated with the utmost care and integrity. Rain distinguishes itself by focusing on details, and delivers a perfect note for note performance. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences.</p>
