Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Here Comes the Sun

Talk about second chances: Diehard Beatles fans who missed the Fab Four onstage back in the day get a do-over. Well, almost. Pronounced “the number one Beatles show on Earth” by Rolling Stone magazine, 1964 The Tribute recreates the concert experience by busting out carefully copied tunes on restored vintage instruments — and that’s not all. The four native Ohioans in the tribute group — Mark Benson, Gary Grimes, Tom Work and Terry Manfredi — even nail the band’s Liverpool accents and personal mannerisms to present an accurate portrait of their 1960s invasion of America. “The resemblance was uncanny,” says the former president of Apple Records, Alistair Taylor. “Never have I seen another group go to such detail.” Stop by for a blast from the past.
