A Hard Day's Night --- Rain --- A Beatle's Experience

[drrojas]

Watching Old Videos of the Beatles on youtube is already an amazing experience any day, but seeing a band live that sounds like them is just a dream , a dream that will come true in March in Salt lake city Utah! and I'm just too excited.... just like when australian pink floyd plays. aaah can't wait.

[itsawarmgun]

I've seen them twice, and they're fantastic. Definitely worth seeing.

[jacka123100]

I've see this group and another group (the Mahoney Bros) live. Hands down the Mahoney's are better. They play at Altlantic City most of the time. Have played all over the United States though, even including Hillary Clinton's birthday party. Longest running Beatles imitators, did the original Legends in Concert in Las Vegas, and the original play "Beatlemania", in New York.

@jacka123100 Rain is the longest running Beatles imitators.

[larrystarstruck]

Don't knock the show unless you have seen it.

[MinatoNamekaze4]

the guy who does john is terrible at his accent!!!!

[enos870]

For you people who THINK you know what you're talking about, this show is about 95% live. Yes, they ARE singing. Yes, they ARE playing their instruments. But there are a few sequencers. Such as the handclaps in I Want To Hold Your Hand and maybe some effects during their Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour sets. But they're amazing, and the next best thing to The Beatles. Appreciate them and don't knock them, okay?

[danno131305]

@enos870 Amen! They are the best. You forget who you are watching when you re at their show.

Amazing!!!!

[larrystarstruck]

@danno131305 That is how I felt when I saw the show.

[MsMaccaMocker]

@enos870 I just seen them live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were great! Can not wait to see them again!

[ExpensiveSnow]

I'm a die-hard Beatles fan, but they are FAKE!!! Pre-recorded, by who knows? They just pretend to be the Beatles, and pretend to sing, and pretend to play the instuments!!! How can any Beatles fan go along with this rubbish?

[gregtheegg14]

@ExpensiveSnow Everything in the video above is being done live.

[dummypiston]

saw them three weeks ago, great show! recommend to any beatle fan.

[missyandbrady]

Sorry, only one sub, not two. Not bad these days, with the Broadway run going through the rest of 2011. I'm seeing Rain in LA in two weeks, who knows what cast we'll get at the Pantages Theatre.

[missyandbrady]

Oh, it's Joe Bithorn.

[JimboSlice114]

this is the alternate band. graham, david,joe, and i forgot'georges name'. lol i got ripped off too

[missyandbrady]

That's Steve Landes as John, Graham Alexander as Paul, Ralph Castelli as Ringo, but I can't tell who's playing George.  Anyone?

[missyandbrady]

Actually, only two are "subs," which isn't fair either since they're all "Rain." 

[JimboSlice114]

@missyandbrady what isnt fair? what happened to ralph castelli then?

[raejeanowl]

I am one of the original, dyed-in-wool Beatles fans, and I think Rain is still a worthwhile, in-person experience. Believe me, it does sound much better that way than on a YouTube video. I really appreciate how hard they work to bring as much authenticity as they can to their performance.

Was I as thrilled as hearing McCartney doing the songs in person? Of course not. But it still gets the good feelings and memories flowing.

[Drummerkid461995]

Wow, the one guy sounds just like paul.

[ScrazyKing]

me to

[Xhalohero117]

There great I saw them!!!!!!!!

[maplescape1]

i saw it in philly in january

[katrin2801]

OMG!

How can u listen it?

Beatles were only the one!!!

I better will watch Youtube with the REAL Beatles than going to these false concerts.

No one can change LENNON in spite of i dont like him. He was fuckin LEGEND.

Macca is still alive (Thanks GOD) and only he has right to play Beatles stuff.

[HardDaysNight44]

@katrin2801 well can anybody see The Beatles now? The answer is NO. so this is the next best thing to it

[ExpensiveSnow]

@HardDaysNight44 There are many Beatles tribute bands. This is the ONLY ONE that I have seen that are pre-recorded garbage. They don't sing, or play. Just posers!!!!

[HardDaysNight44]

@ExpensiveSnow no they arent, but ok?

[romans52345]

@HardDaysNight44 Hulkamania will Live forever....BROTHER!!!!

[mcates101]

@ExpensiveSnow What makes you so confident about that? Because it's totally false.

[gregtheegg14]

@ExpensiveSnow Everything in Rain is done live.

[JGunslinger16]

Alex is no Joey

[Vanagone]

Joey is playing lefty! he's right handed!

[mcates101]

This is actual Alex Smith as Paul - RAIN has two performers who portray each character

[missyandbrady]

@mcates101 It's Graham Alexander as Paul, not Alex Smith

[beatleddie]

I saw them in March, the only member I recognized was George. they had Alex as Paul, David Leon as John, not Ralph as Ringo...Steve Landes who plays John, was there, but not in costume...I talked to him but wanted to be low-key.

[unclepic1]

man they are so pro lol i mean like Paul is lefty they have the exact instruments and sound good

[RayManzarekGod]

Is Rain The Beatles Experience the same as "Rain" the Beatles tribute?

[norockmanfan]

yes, i think they go by rain: a tribute to the beatles now. very amazing show, saw them in atlanta!

[RayManzarekGod]

Ah sweet, I'm going to see them again in Tampa in February.

[thebeatles365]

what was "paul's" name??

Joey or Alex??

i really wanted to see Joey Curatolo

but had some dude named alex but he was good i enjoyed him i just was really looking forward to seeing joey

[ingeniousdolt]

I just saw them on Feb 15 and it was a guy named Alex Smith. He was good, but I was also hoping to see Joey C.

[enos870]

Funny because I saw them on Feb 7 and it was Joey C. But they had an alternate drummer. It was Joe Bolona in-place of Ralph Castelli

[thebeatles365]

but i live in Florida that doesnt make sense!

But anyway i enjoyed it i loved alex!!

but i just thought i was seeing joey

but its cool cant wait to see them again!!!

[RayManzarekGod]

Hey haha if you live near Sarasota they're coming to the Van Weizel theather in March I believe.

[mcates101]

In the words of Alex...

"When Joey needs a rest, I step in. When I need a rest, Joey steps in."

Alex does do most of the East coast shows but neither one of them are locked in by a regional boarder.
