the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note
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
