Going back in time!
On Friday night, Chris's mom, Lauren, Becca and I got into our time machine (a Kia minivan) and headed back to 1964. Once we arrived, we saw the Beatles perform their early hits, plus a few later ones. It was incredible.
If only we got to see the real Beatles! But this was the next-best thing. We got to see 1964: The Tribute at the Weinberg Center. We sat in second row of the balcony, so we had a great view. I had never heard of this show until it was mentioned in a Frederick blog, yet they have been performing since 1983! I remember there used to be a tribute show called Beatlemania (that I never got to see), but this flew right under my radar.
The performers weren't perfect, of course, but they did sound amazingly like the real thing. The Paul McCartney performer was actually left-handed, and his guitar looked exactly like the one McCartney really uses. The John Lennon performer cracked a lot of jokes and acted irreverently. They had a lot of enthusiasm, and the whole night was just so much fun. We would definitely go see this show again if it were to come back.
I got a few pictures, but they aren't that great. We were up high and far back, and I just have a point-and-shoot camera. But you can still get the idea:

Paul, George, John and Ringo on drums, of course:
