Beatles tribute debuts at Mann Hall Jan. 13

The award-winning Beatles concert, "Rain - A Tribute to The Beatles," runs at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall Tuesday, Jan. 13, through Sunday, Jan. 18, for only eight performances.

In a show the Denver Post calls "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles," "Rain" boasts a repertoire of nearly 200 Beatlemaniac favorites, ranging from such beloved songs as "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" to classic hits including "Revolution" and "Come Together."

"Rain" covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late '60s and their longhaired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. "Rain" is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience — a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups.

For the "Rain" members, the music is first and foremost. For more than two decades, "Rain" has distinguished itself by focusing on details, always being faithful to The Beatles with the ultimate goal of delivering a perfect note-fornote performance. All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences.

"An adoring Valentine to The Beatles,"

declares the Washington Post.

Like The Beatles, the onstage members of "Rain" are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.
