The debate between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 61 years ago. The argument at the time, and one that still persists, was that the Beatles were a pop group, and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So, who’s better? These two legendary bands will engage in an on-stage, throw down – a musical ‘showdown’ if you will – at the Colonial Theatre Laconia on Thursday, December 5th at 7:30 pm- courtesy of tribute bands Abbey Road and Satisfaction – The International Rolling Stones Show.
Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the county’s top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles’ career. They face off against renowned Stones tribute band Satisfaction who offer a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion.
During the two-hour show, the bands perform two sets each, trading places in quick set changes and ending the night with an all-out encore involving both bands. The band members have their outfits custom-made, since avid fans know exactly what the Beatles and Stones wore onstage during different time periods in their careers. There’s a lot of good-natured jabbing between the bands as well.
Tickets for Beatles vs Stones at The Historic Park Theatre & Event Center on are $20 – $58 and go on sale Friday, August 2 at 10am at www.theparkri.com or by calling 1-800-657-8774.
