About Experience the Beatles with RAIN
As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!” (Associated Press), RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles’ discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. In addition, new songs are being included with the launch of the 2012 Tour. Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note multimedia performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (I Want To Hold Your Hand, Hard Day’s Night, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be, Come Together, Hey Jude and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends.
Great post. I would love to see Rain, I have heard all about them. My father is a huge Beatles fan and he turned me on to them when I was a kid. I can't wait to finally see Rain. I will have to send this to my dad, thanks for sharing.
LOVED the Beatles since I was a 5 year old kid and a RAIN fan since I discovered them a few years ago. RAIN is doing what the Beatles could not do. They make me believe I'm seeing the Beatles live. Thank you RAIN. You guys ROCK! Everyone should see a RAIN show. They are spectacular!
I don't remember any of the Beatles being Asian…
