A filmed concert of Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles is airing on some Public Broadcasting Stations in the US. This includes the northern California station KQED. I've given a link to that station's August 2010 schedule of the shows broadcasts. Check your local PBS station to see if this will be shown in your area.

The program is a filmed version of a Rain concert including many Beatles favorite songs.

Rain made an appearance on The Today Show Friday, December 3, 2010. Watch the segment with Kathie Lee & Hoda.

The Reunion (Beatles Tribute Concert)

"What if circumstances had been different?

What if all four former Beatles were alive and well in 1996?

What if they decided to wrap up their "Anthology" documentary with a reunion concert that featured many of the greatest hits of The Beatles plus the best of their solo work too?

What would it have looked and sounded like?

THE CONCERT THAT NEVER WAS...

The ULTIMATE TRIBUTE features four of the world's greatest veteran Beatles look AND sound alike artists performing a tribute to John, Paul, George & Ringo like none that you've ever seen."

With LOVE, Cirque du Soleil celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles

"Love is a 2006 theatrical production by Cirque du Soleil which combines the re-produced and re-imagined music of The Beatles with an interpretive, circus-based artistic and athletic stage performance.

"A joint venture between Cirque and The Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd, it is the first production that Apple Corps Ltd. has partnered in. Love is written and directed by Dominic Champagne.

The word usually refers to a professional comedian/entertainer who specializes in such performances and has developed a wide repertoire of impressions, including adding to them, often to keep pace with current events. Impressionist performances are a classic Casino entertainment genre.

Someone who imitates one particular person without claiming a wide range, such as a lookalike, is instead called an impersonator. In very broad contexts, "impersonator" may be substituted for "impressionist" where the distinction between the two is less important than avoiding confusion with the use of "impressionist" in painting and music.

"Beatle Barkers is a 1983 album released by the Woofers & Tweeters Ensemble on the Passport Records label. The album consists of dogs barking a parody of popular Beatles songs. The guitars and other instruments are very similar to the original Beatles recordings, with the animal sounds taking the place of the sung lyrics.
