The Fest For Beatles Fans

delliott101 by delliott101 · Feb 6, 2003 · Article · 211 views · ·

Why is it I'm catching up on Beatles stuff?


Anyway, it's that time of year again... beatlefest is coming to the Meadowlands March 28-30, 2003 at the NJ Crowne Plaza. For show info and ticket prices, go here


I haven't been to one in about 15 years, so I think I will make this one. Merchandise is sold, movies and TV shows are shown, live performers (including Liverpool, a Beatles sound-alike band that includes Mitch Weissman... he played Paul in Broadway's "Beatlemania"), talent shows and lots of guest performers and Beatle experts!


A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

schweet! now if you said mccartney was going to be singing there i'd be there with bells on.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ·

Mitch Weissman, back in the Beatlemania (the play, that is) heyday was considered Paul's twin. The look and sound were pretty much dead on, even though he has a much rounder face than Macca does...

Yeah, it's a line from the song "Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite" off the Sgt. Pepper album

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

you know...they just don't make quality caliope songs anymore

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ·

I KNOW... especially ones where they cut up the tape of the caliope into 6 inch strips, throw them up into the air and splice the tape back together to make it sound psychadelic..

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·
