PBS affiliate, Blue Ridge Public Television, will be filming "1964"
performances on November 29th and 30th, 2005. The final product is to
be distributed to public television stations on a nationwide scale. I'm
told that the end result will be something like "Spinal Tap
meets A Hard Day's Night". Thanks to Sandy Broughton

About "1964"...The Tribute:
Twenty years of research and performing have made "1964" masters
of
their craft. "1964" has performed throughout the world, including
to a
sold out crowd at Carnegie Hall. "1964" recreates an early 60s
live
Beatles concert, with period instruments, clothing, hair styles, and
on-stage banter. Beatle boots, vintage costumes and equipment, on-stage
mannerisms and speaking voices, and the unmistakable harmonies of the
lads from Liverpool make "1964" the most accurate and fun Beatles
tribute to date.
Those who should know love "1964":

illusion complete. '1964'...The Tribute creates MAGIC!" - Dick Clark

their
honor.
