For the first time...The complete story of The Beatles
Featuring The Beatles Original Drummer - PETE BEST
In a rare multimedia live concert along with tribute band
and the Pete Best Band
Pete Best, together with John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Stuart Sutcliff created the sound and frenzy that we now know as Beatlemania. The Beatles played over 1,000 shows in Liverpool, Hamburg and throughout England before the untimely death of Stu Sutcliff and the replacement of Pete Best by Ringo Starr, on the eve of the release of The Beatles first single “Love Me Do.”
Experience those early years at the Casbah Club, where Pete became a Beatle, and travel through time - through the British Invasion, the Abby Road sessions, the Ed Sullivan Show and the hysteria at Shea Stadium, in a multi-media extravaganza.
This show presents the complete story in two sets, on a stage, wrapped in high tech video screens. These screens place the performers within their historic environments: The Casbah Coffee Club, Pete Best’s basement, recreating The Decca Recording Sessions, The Cavern, The EMI Abby Road Sessions, Ed Sullivan, Carnegie Hall, Shea Stadium, Psychedellia and The ‘Let It Be’ Rooftop Concert.
The first half of our show is a full costumed celebration of the music of The 1964 Beatles, The Shea Beatles, The Sergeant Pepper Beatles and The Let It Be Beatles, amplified by high tech screens and tribute band.
In the second half of “Best of the Beatles” we move from musical recreation to the live performance of one of the six people who has the right to call himself a Beatle . . . original drummer Pete Best ....and the Pete Best Band. Screens take us back to Liverpool being bombed in World Two as John, Paul, Stu, George, Pete and Ringo are born, destined to meet, mature and profoundly change our world. We see Paul meeting a teen age John with his ‘skiffle’ band that is playing in a Churchyard in Liverpool, Paul introducing George to John, Art School where John meets Stu and The Casbah Club where Pete becomes the drummer and The Beatles leave for Hamburg to ‘make it big.’
With the Hamburg Clubs, The Cavern and the Decca and EMI Recording Studios recreated on our screens, Pete and The Pete Best Band perform live in concert with the driving music from The Early Beatles, John, Paul, George, Stu and Pete, including “Love Me Do,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” “One After 909,” “Please Mr. Postman,” “PS I Love You,” “You Really Got A Hold On Me,” “Twist and Shout,” and much, much more.
The time has come for Beatles fans to experience “The Complete Story” ...to experience “Best of The Beatles.”
