YOU HAVE TO BE OVER A CERTAIN AGE to fully appreciate this. Last night we went a concert at the Events Center. The group is RAIN, four Americans who have successfully copied British accents, the Beatles' music, and the Beatles performing voices. It's billed as a tribute to the Beatles.
With the help of three large video screens it began with news clips of the mid to late 60's. Then the group came on stage to sing the Beatles songs of that part of their fame. Then they switched to the psychedelic years of the "years of love", drugs and protest. The three large screens provided the appropriate art work and images associated with that time.
The finale had the audience on their feet for the last ten to fifteen minutes while we all sang "Hey, Jude." Remember the kids of the 60's are now in their sixties but last night we all were into the mood and the music.
Well, off to day two of the state track meet.
