1964 The Tribute: Gary Grimes Memorial Video (Official)

Gary Grimes of 1964...The Tribute lost his battle with brain cancer on December 13, 2010. Here is the only "official" statement by the "1964" family. Gary was loved millions over his 27 years performing as Paul McCartney in 1964...The Tribute.

I have been asked to input some info about myself and the slideshow. My name is Steven Gardner, I have been "1964"s photographer/ graphics artist / press agent since about 2005. I am a Beatle afficionado to the extreme. But most importantly, I am a friend to Gary and 1964.

This slideshow was made using only the pictures during my time with 1964.

Note:
There is a pic in here of Gary (10th) with yellow spotlights around him, I hold the frame there for two reasons...1) because I want the lyric line to finish, but more importantly it was the very first picture Gary ever saw from me, and from there my relationship with him, the band and the entire 1964 family began.

Thank you Gary, for all the opportunities, fun, and dragging me into your world :), but most importantly for your friendship.

So long my friend, I will miss you.

I saw 1964-tribute in April 2007...I wasn't aware of his passing; very sad :(

Who is going to portray Paul now?

I saw 1964 in Vancouver in about 1987. What a great show they put on! A unique thing about them as far as Beatles tribute bands go is that they would also play the more obscure tracks like "And Your Bird Can Sing" and nail them perfectly. Also when Gary first started, he played right handed but to get the more authentic look, he taught himself to play left handed. What a feat!

my mom was a great fan of the Beatles and she got me into their music..."1964: The Tribute" is the best Beatles tribute band I have ever seen.Gary, you truely are missed. I listen to the cd you gave me "All You Need...Is Live" every day on my way to and from work. Great job putting this video together! I know 1964 is re-establishing and it won't be the same without Gary but the entire Tribute band as a whole will do just fine....can't wait to see you guys in the Western NY area!!! God bless!

I first saw 1964 at Red Rocks last year, it was my first concert ever. What a perfect band to see and a perfect guy Gary Grimes was. He was very talented, and was an amazing Paul. He really made it see mas if he was Paul and we were at a Beatles concert. Who could ask for more?He will be missed and will never be forgotten.

Gary you will truely be missed.

This is terrible news. To his family just let me say that I saw Gary in concert as "Paul" several times. He brought great joy to all Beatle fans who were luck enough to see him and the rest of 1964 in concert. He will be missed by more people than you can ever imagine. God bless all of you.

I just heard this news now , Gary was an excellent Paul one of the best ever.

I have watched 1964 over the years on you tube. I play John in a Beatles show in Australia .

Sorry to hear guys you lost your best mate

remember the great times you had with Gary

he will be greatly missed .

Though I never knew you Gary as a fellow Beatle musician I feel I know you.

May your soul be at peace.
