  • Here is the official Fab Four Demo from the late 1990s. Most of you probably don't recognize the George Harrison in this demo. The George in this demo is David Brighton. He was the original George of the Fab Four. This tape was made about a year before Michael Amador joined. Ron McNeil gave this demo to my uncle on VHS in 2000. Enjoy...

      This isn’t the oldest still active Beatles tribute. The oldest still touring Beatles Tribute is “1964.. The Tribute” which was formed in 1984 and is still together to this day.

    Ron's voice before was spot on! It got deeper. But I can't believe they've been doing this since the 90's, unbelievable! No doubt that they are the best Beatles Tribute Band ever!

      Even better with the addition (Too temporary) of Adam Hastings, (IMHO). By the way, anyone else notice that Ron is NOT playing a Casino? He's playing an EPI ES-335 with a casino Trapese Tailpiece. I really don't blame him, the 335 gives a lot more reach and comfort on the high end, but as a "T R I B U T E" band, he ought to "Trib" to the Casino.

      Jota, LATE 90s. Just saw them recently. Makeup helps a ton. First time i saw them was at Pechanga, PBS Special. Age certainly didnt effect their talent. Im guessing Ron and Ardy arent that much older than myself. Probably all born in the 70's /late 6o's😊

      @Supreme Pikachu He's back in now...Adam, in the interval of being locked down in his native U.K., decided he doesn't want to be away from his family so much. Adam is going to do "Solo John" in Europe. The best John Lennon impersonator I've ever seen, with the same sense of humor and he just radiates John, yeah?
      But Ron McNeil, not looking much like John, DOES have the vocal chops and sounds dead on like JL...he founded The Fab Four and he is a secure guy when you put in a guy like Adam Hastings who stole the hearts of fans quickly---this makes Ron HAPPY, as it is good for The Fab Four, Inc. (or whatever it is---I never KNOW these things!). So, welcome back, Ron---Love You!

      @nevillede-hoedt6520 Год назад

      That is probably why they do some of the footage in B/W for that very effect, so they resemble what was back then in the early 60s.
      Unless you can get hold of an 8mm camera with the film to match, only software programs for your computer can and will provide you with those effects, photo shop is a good program to use, easy and simple, in comparison to some of the moderner image programs.
      Once you crop the picture to how you want it, print it, or just put it in your slide show.

    They're all good in their own way, they all are keeping the music and Beatles alive for most of us who are interested.
    Younger generation's are interested in this music, that a lot of us who grew up with it, take for granted, because 'The Beatles' influenced our live's.
    The younger generation can only read about it, or imagine what it may have been like, if they talk with those who were there.
    60 odd years ago, 1964 was 'Beatlemania', and their music is still living on, thanks to these bands.
