For those of you who For those of you who are not old enough or fortunate enough to have seen The Beatles perform (thankfully, I did) this is as close you will get.
Sadly they don't play much and rarely near me, shocking given that I am just outside of Cleveland. They have 13 days listed between now and the end of June.
Any band that starts with Will Lee is going to be great.
The closest show to me is like a 4 hour drive so I'd have to do it in the RV, which would add about $100 to the ticket cost when I add in gas in an 8-10 mpg pig of a truck. Have to pass. If they play Cleveland though I'll go.
I'd love it if they would play on Sep 15th. That was the day I saw The Beatles in 1964. A 12 song set!! That was it. 12 songs. And the show had to be stopped once because people were being knocked down and trampled. I was 13 and WAY in the back of Public Auditorium. Could barely hear music over the screaming and at times couldn't hear it at all.
They came back in August of 1966, the 3rd city on a 14 city tour, and then they stopped touring. And IMHO, the REAL music started coming from them then.

Hey, that's when I was born..... 08/1966.
Agree on their REAL music. I've always liked everything from Rubber Soul (DEC 1965) on.
Of course I LIKED them early, but they really grew up when they left the confines of guitar, bass and drums. A lot of the credit for that goes to George (NOT Roger ) Martin and Geoff Emerick, but the composition and production was amazing for the time. As I once heard Brian Wilson say, "Without Rubber Soul there would have not been Pet Sounds". And McCartney replied to him saying "Without Pet Sounds there would have been no Sgt Pepper."
As I tell people who downplay the influence of The Beatles, "They broke up in 1970. Two of them are dead. This is 2018. People are still playing their music." If life had a "Mic drop" icon, it would go right there.
But these guys in the Fab Faux, MAN that is some singing right there!! As I start moving around, I will try to make an RV stop coincide with a Fab Faux show.

"They broke up in 1970. Two of them are dead. This is 2018. People are still playing their music."
People will play their music forever. Mark my words: They will be remembered as some of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Differently, but still recognizable, just like the work of the great composers who came before them.

Wow - this is unreal! I would have loved to have had the chance to see The Beatles live in their day. Unfortunately I was born 4 or 5 decades too late :P
Great video none the less - thanks for sharing!

Thanks for reminding me of him. He has been around a long time and played with the best of them. I've stumbled upon many youtube concerts where I saw him and thought "holy crap!"
For fun, here's a picture from his early days. If you can name the others in the picture, I'm impressed. If you can only name < 50% I'm disappoint. This image is a phone pic from a 40+ year old album I have, so forgive the quality <grin> Assuming Will was at least 20 when this was taken (1976) he's still looking and playing awfully well. One of the unsung gems in the last 40 years. I'm adding him to the list of people I want to meet.
Thanks for sharing this

Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
I first learned of Will Lee on the Letterman show, and only then did I start looking into who this monster was and found that he played on a bunch of Spyro Gyra stuff. Total monster player and an amazing singer. With the Fab Faux they are ALL great singers.
I am going to monitor their web page when I am on the road in the RV and track them down somewhere or other. I have GOT to see these guys playing all that Beatles music that the Beatles themselves could not have replicated on stage with their structure.
And Will is one year younger than me so he was 24 when that was taken.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
