High energy, authentic replication of a Beatles performance considered to be one of the top Beatles tribute shows in the nation. Endorsed by Joey Molland of Badfinger, and grammy award winning artist Rick Derringer.

**************************
Tapers notes: My first time seeing this band, I had plans to see them last summer but something else came up and I missed the show. There are numerous Beatles tribute bands out there, and this is Minnesota version of them, so I'm a little biased, but they are top notch in my opinion. It's hard to cover all the hits when it comes to The Beatles, but they hit on a lot of them here. I tend to like the more experimental Beatles material, so the second set was right up my alley, I wish they had played A Day in the Life, but you can't please everyone at a show like this. Sound is decent here, I'm still figuring out the new mics, so there will be some trial and error.

Tapers notes: My first attempt at recording with new mics, and the sound turned out pretty good to my ears. It rained right up until about 10 minutes before the show started, so I caught a break there, but wind still affects parts of the recording. It's worst at the start of set 2 for the first song or two, otherwise it's just a mild annoyance every so often in other parts of the show.

Tapers notes: Part of Hutchinson Dairy Day. I tried a new mastering method for this show, I was able to pull Josie's guitar back a little in the mix to make more room for her vocals in iZotope, and it sounds better to my ears at least. I'm still learning Reaper as well, so I'm sure I'll be able to refine recordings more as I go, but for now this is a good start.
