We loved them, yeah, yeah, yeah!!

So here's a day that goes down in the books. Tonight Adam and I saw the BEATLES in concert!!! I can now die a happy woman-- that has been a lifelong dream! You might be wondering how that could actually happen because John and George are dead. But this tribute band "1964" was so close to the real thing that I'm starting to seriously wonder about reincarnation. They were so dead on! They had actually taken time to memorize not only the songs of the Beatles, but all the mannerisms too-- like the way John bounces his legs while he sings or Paul's head bob or Ringo's slight nod as he drums. Amazing!! Seriously, from the seats we were sitting in you really couldn't tell.
I loved how authentic they were too. They used actual instruments and amplifiers from that time period instead of all the modern ones we have now. The four men were really british too so every time they talked we got that great authentic accent. They had even memorized Beatles jokes and phrases. Ah, I just loved every minute of it!

We went with three of my siblings (Ryan, Kelly and Greg) who are all just as big of fans (okay, let's face it... every member of the Brown family is a huge fan-- Dad's even going to Liverpool this summer to hear the REAL Paul McCartney perform!). The concert was so much fun.

So if you ever hear that the 1964 Beatles Tribute band is coming your way I HIGHLY recommend going! (I also recommend marrying someone who will continue to play along with you weeks later when you say, "Remember how we saw the BEATLES live??" Who cares who was really on stage, keep living the dream! thanks adam :)

    Ah. Indeed we DID love them, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was so much fun!!! Now I just need to get a ticket to ride on the long and winding road to Liverpool and Penny Lane, while looking at strawberry fields forever where when I say, "Please Mister Postman...Taxman...anyone, help! It's been a hard day's night..." they won't say, "Get back, you can't do that." But rather, "Here comes the sun, girl. Just let it be." With a little help from my friends, SOMETHING will work out, because hey, we CAN work it out... I'll follow the sun and listen to that blackbird while gazing across the universe. Then in a few years I'll look back on a day in the life of myself, take off my old brown shoe, and say, "In my life, (despite the days of being the fool on the hill... aka "nowhere man") I've loved it all. And all my loving was expressed...now I feel fine." As for now, I just say coocookachoo. Don't worry, I'll be back...it won't be long.
    But for now, I'm signing out... from me to you... Muah!

    And Kelly summarizes up "Across the Universe!" Well done! That's so neat they succeeded in their impersonations! I loved reading all the descriptive details! So fun!
