I saw them perform at Indian Lake in Massachusetts last week. They did every Beatle song to perfection. Every word, every note to perfection. It was the BEST concert I've ever been too. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!! This recording of course is over 6 years ago. They are even better now. It takes a lot of practice to sound like someone else, and they certainly do!!
The Fab Four are the best, as they have taken their act up several notches over other Beatles tribute act's, I feel that when you listen to this particular song or indeed any of the songs they do, they really are exceptional. I was only 12 when the Beatles sang "That boy" and I think that as the years have gone by these songs just keep getting better to listen to as many of the songs create a real "feel good" effect which is produced from the point of view that they just had such beautiful lyrics and melody, and were really well produced and these are reasons I believe that many of us think of these songs now with great affection, just watching this video makes me realise just how wonderful these songs really were, and why many people appreciated them so much, because of course nowadays much of the music we do hear (let's face it ) can be pretty bland and it really is difficult to get enthused over much of the stuff now.
When John Lennon was asked during the recording of Abbey Road whether the Beatles would ever play live again, he said that it might be too much to live up to, considering all they'd done in the studios. In other words, fans would be disappointed that they couldn't recreate the songs with orchestral or psychedelic feels or studio tricks to them. The beauty of bands like this is that they can take advantage of synthesizers, tremendous PA systems, digital tricks and such that just wasn't available before. These guys are excellent, and if the Beatles had had similar equipment available, they may not have resigned from the road when they did.
Really nice job on the vocal lines. That's what totally makes this song, and these guys really have it all down very well. I see the date on this is 5-2-08. I saw this band in April, 2008, and they did some really fine, talented, renditions of Beatle music.
My fasciniation with these Beatles tribute bands is to imagine I'm back there again listening to an actual performance. These guys pull it off as well as anyone. The big problem I have is knowing that they aren't the real creative talents behind the songs they perform so well. They're an act and a good one. I do have to wonder what their own material sounds like. I'm sure they must write music on the side.
THAT is something I've thought about for years>One of these tribute bands should release original recordings faithful to the band/era they are representing. The "Lost recordings" etc. If done with humor and insight it could be great. I'd buy. Based on that premise alone it would be way more intriguing to me than whatever pop-rot is coming out now. Fab Four, being the best of the lot, you are summoned.

Actually, I had the wonderful chance to talk to Ringo many years ago after one of his concerts and he told me they quit because with the crowds getting bigger and no security, they were concerned about their safety. Yes John didn't want to tour also because they were a band first and could not even hear themselves. At Shay stadium they were not even playing the right cords and the rhythm was off , they could not hear Ringo.
It was even more unlikely that two geniuses, like John & Paul, would hook up and form the greatest pop songwriting team of the 20th century... but they did.
One of the best songs I've heard them do, The Mahoney Brothers do it equally well. Most of the other Beatles songs, The Mahoney Brothers are actually better.
wow ron mcneil!!!
I love this song!! This is a great rendition! The Fab Four rule! Beatles Forever!
My favorite Beatle's ballad. I know there are a bunch of them, but this one tops the list for me...Anyone else agree?
oldies geek Yep, it's always been my favourite. Terrific harmonies!!
+Ian Dodd Thanks, nice to know I'm not alone!
Absolutely
I do..!

Even John Lennon himself would have to be totally impressed with this "John" :)
The #1 beatles tribute band of all time.
You need to see RAIN, a Tribute ti the Beatles. You may change your mind.
very close, very close. amazing. I want to see them. Nobody will ever replace the original fab four. This guys are great
Still my favorite Beatles song. What's yours Lauren?

The Fab Four ate even more amazing live, which is hard to believe because they're already so amazing on video.
Love it!
I love these guys best tribute band ever
it seems kind of hard to find 4 people and all love the beatles and look like them and all sound like the people they look like and meet each other
Ron McNeil was pretty good in his day!

I'm going to see The Fab Four this Saturday. Can't wait!!
The closest to the real thing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
great great great!
Great version, would have been better if they had shared the same microphone. Love this song, a pity that it's so under-rated.
Ron McNeil sings beautiful on this song
The guy that plays John sounds so much like the actual John!
Splendid
damn this is f gooood
gives me goosebumps
Saw them do this in Vegas a cappella. It silenced those that thought they were using voice tracks.
Lo maximo mis tios the fab four tocan y cantan bien covers de los beatles👏👏🎸🎵🎙🎼
perfection!
they can play like them,
but the lyrics created by The Beatles are far better than anyone from todays generation.
thus, no one will be like them(':
Sorry, it's the Rose Theater in Westminster, CA.
i love 'john's' little skip in acknowledgement of the well deserved applause.

the actually made a Christmas album, they basically did beatles versions of basic Christmas songs
They are the closest band to the real thing.They are the best there is.

John voice was unique, that's why he was great and different and George was a hell of a player
Wow I did not expect that he would sing so well one into one like Lennon
5 stars...
Excelente
Great drummer
Was that at the Paramount Theater because I went to see the fab four there.
Just a kiss , pls

great
U are right..only the real John Lennon can pull off that bridge..missed him missed him..
Who are the idiots who keep putting thumbs down on The Fab Four' s videos? What are you all Beatles haters or something?
Even the bass player is left handed like Paul.
Only the real John can pull off that bridge
John had a great way of yelling & singing at the same time.
slw59 Yea
Rush1017 listen to Tyson Kelly he is as close as it gets
the John in the Bootleg Beatles DID IT!!
is this the fabfour from ontario??
Tell me about it. I've been trying to get a Beatles tribute band together for almost a year now. and it's all so messed up :|
They are very good but you should see the English Bootleg Beatles.....Note perfect!!!! Check them out on Utube.
bueno
0:43
The only thing that could have made this better is if they shared one mic.
+SleighJessi I was thinking the same thing-Just like they performed it on Sullivan show number two from Miami.

One of the best songs I've heard them do, The Mahoney Brothers do it equally well. Most of the other Beatles songs, The Mahoney Brothers are actually better.
When it comes to John, Adam Hastings or Tyson Kelly is better.
