I've never understood why some tribute bands try to sound like they are English when singing ... the Beatles had no noticeable accent when singing ...
Ive seen rain before , but the guys that were there werent these guys , they wer waaay better. The paul in this video doesnt even sound like the real Paul .or move like him either.
actually, the "paul" normally plays right-handed, but some of the live cams shown at the concerts show him playing leftie. the image is flipped before it hits the screen.
Fabulous - it is such a joy to hear this music recreated with such quality! There is no question that this band produces premium results. Thank you for pleasure I enjoy listening to your work.
There aren't many SCOUSE (from Liverpool) Beatle tribute bands are there... I really get tired of hearing this strained Ameri-scouse accent, most bands do.
@brotherofgurnip Dude, can u just accept that there are only Beatles fans in Liverpool? Every cover band is going to strain it, 'cuz no one sounds exactly like them. These guys are the most experienced and talented Beatles cover band around- accept it, or listen to the real thing and stop complaining. It's even better that bands outside of England do this- it's great to see people of different races, countries, and backgrounds come together to embrace the Beatles' great music.
@hiphopsucks96 Don't get into a 'tantrum' with me lad... seriously, it was 4 weeks ago, and looking at your username, I gather that you were born in 1996... if that's the case, I'd rather not have a row with a kid. P.S. I do listen to the real thing, and to be quite honest: the real thing is MUCH, MUCH better than any tribute band because... well... they ARE the Beatles. Do me a favour: and don't respond, thanks.
u suck shit paul is left u fuckers if u dont play on left then ur no rain the beatles shitass experience with a fake tv and no fans there fake at the end u suck shittt
I saw Rain a week and a half ago. They were so great. The only thing was, it wasn't long enough!!! They played for 2 and 1/2 hours, and it seemed like minutes...
Good, but not quite dead on. I have this 45' and have loved this song as much as "She Loves You" from the time I was 4 years old. I'm considering going to see this next month, as to why I'm checking out these youTubes. For 2 top notch tickets I'm looking at over $100.00.
i saw them, payed for like really far away seats and ended up sittin on the 2nd row. i really liked it. it really is an experience. you just have to understand it's a cover band, there's not much they can do other than TRY.
Rain has two casts. This is Joey Curatolo who plays righty. They Paul you saw must have been Graham Alexander. And yes, Steve Landes and Mark Benson do sound very much alike - definitely two of the best in the industry.
It's not a mistake. In the "C" part of the song, the real john recorded "i'm gonna MAKE...", when the other two real beatles sing "i'm gonna CHANGE your mind" . So, Rain tribute the real thing.
para mi todos los que opinaron en este video estan bien pendejos, ya que estos pendejos pretenden cantar como los beatles, la veradad este video es de mala calidad y me da risa de que manera segun ellos cantan.
What is it with all these people trying to bag on Rain? I'm 15 years old, I saw Rain in Jacksonville, FL in January. They were AMAZING. I wasnt even close to being alive when the Beatles were alive. I love the music though, so seeing Rain made it possible for me to see what other people saw. It might not be exactly the same, and sure they arent the Beatles, but that doesnt matter to me. They were amazing anyways, and they are some of the best people you will ever meet.
@fuckingerinn Wow, I can't agree more!! <333. I saw then last night and that's exacty what they were trying to express. They told us we're the next generation and to forever keep the Beatles alive. They're just letting us, the people who weren't alive in the 60s, to experience their music live. It's amazing what they are doing(:
Get this i was able to meet 2 of them i have a shirt with their signatures my sister worked at the hotel they stayed at my sister was friends with them and they gave us tickets to their concerts. It was so awesome. they were really nice guys to. i almost was able to tour with them but i had a few weeks left in school and stuff. so i couldn't go =;(
Actually, that's Steve Landes. The John from 1964 is Mark Benson. I can see where you'd see that though. Now that you mention it they do look and sound surprisingly alike!
Watching these guys is akin to having sex with a blow up doll: It might be fun for a couple minutes, but when the truth sinks in, you're gonna feel real stupid and creepy.
The Beatles have HOURS of wonderful videos. I'll take those, any day.....
Hi-All ladies, you gossipy moon faced ninnies!I was around in the UK when the Beatles started, and finished up in 1970.These guys ARE the next best thing, believe me! Absolutely no-one is going to look EXACTLY like the lads, but hey narrow your eyes and use a little imagination! Musically,they are next to perfect, just remember that The Beatles did not tour after'66 so did not play their music on stage after that.Rain is near perfect when you consider the complexity of some of the later stuff!
well, Rain has been around in some lineup or anther since 77 or so. The current lineup are all former cast members of the Broadway show, Beatlemania from the late 70's to '85.
I know all of the guys at least casually and are all great musicians.
Just saw their PBS special and they sounded great - they really make it seem easy as they seem to play effortlessly and it sounds exactly like the record. Great Job.
I love you guys and have driven all over northern California to see you and dragged my family along with me - but I am going through Rain withdrawal - when will you be in California north of Sacramento again? Please say very soon.....
I also saw them. Really good show. I wish they hadn't attempted Strawberry Fields, but it was bound to go down. No band or person should EVER try that song.
I might be seeing them next week- as a rule cover bands are lame (sorry, it's true) but I've only read good things about them,- knowing that they will never TOUCH the Beatles in greatness- should I go see them? Just throwing this out there (preferably to someone who's seen Rain's live show)
Hey, I saw the live show about 4 hours ago. SEE THEM! SEE THEM! They are incredible, the vocals will blow you away! The closest thing you can get to the real Beatles, promise!
Well, I've seen Rain about 12 times...and I can say with all conviction...GO SEE THEM!! They are absolutely amazing musicians!! They absolutely capture the essence of the Beatles music!!
@Weirfan69 ...If you have the chance...I thought "1964 the Tribute" were pretty good, too. Had the sound and moves nailed. You could close your eyes and they sounded just like the Beatles. Just a suggestion. But, Rain? Absolutely...see them. :-)
em excuse me no one sounds better than the original but saying that i am all up for tribute bands keeping there music live for this and folowing generations of beatles fans. by the way are they american they are usually a bit more thick and heavy with liverpool accent
your right but not about speed the speed of the song is fine but ya there the best beatles tribute and I saw them live at the opera house and they were great they did the whole catalog and I got to meet them and play bklack bird back stage with joey caristolo
