1964: The Tribute focuses on the quintessential moment in history, when The Beatles actually played before a LIVE audience.
They toured the world in the early 1960's, but now only a precious few remain who actually saw them LIVE; who actually felt the "mania" that brought them to world acclaim. And today, all that remains are a few scant memories and some captured images in pictures and on poor quality film and video.
"1964" meticulously re-creates the "MAGIC" of those LIVE Beatles' performances with artful precision and unerring accuracy. For those that never saw The Beatles LIVE and always wanted to know what it must have been like... this is as close as anyone could possibly get to...FEELING the MAGIC!

It was one of the greatest moments in the history of show business. At 1:20 PM on February 7th, 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper Flight #101 carrying four British musicians landed at New York’s Idlewild Airport. Within 48 hours, The Beatles were performing on the Ed Sullivan Show capturing 73 million viewers. Beatlemania Again relives the music, the magic and the mania of The Beatles live on stage. The show chronologically traces The Beatles career from their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, through their psychedelic era and the release of the mind blowing Sgt. Pepper album, to their final live concert on the rooftop of Apple Records in 1969. Beatlemania Again takes audiences on a musical journey back in time, featuring over 30 of The Beatles greatest hits performed live on stage, including three stunning costume changes. To add to the authenticity, Beatlemania Again uses the same musical instruments that the Beatles used in the 1960s, such as Rickenbacker, Hofner, Gretsch and Gibson guitars, Vox amplifiers, and Ludwig Black Oyster Pearl drums.

In their world, respect is paid to the forefathers of Afro-Cuban Son, Salsa, and Rumba-Flamenca. But that's only part of their story.
