Sunday night we caught a performance from the best Beatles tribute band on earth, 1964. This is not their own claim to fame, rather something that Rolling Stone has said about the band. In fact, they were 167 out of the Top 200 Box Office grossing bands, according to Pollstar. And not only did we get to see this spectacular band, we got to see them play at one of the best, if not the best, amphitheaters in the world, Red Rocks.

Going into the show, I knew it was going to be a sell out crowd, since this is a regular occurrence when this band plays Red Rocks. However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people in attendance at Red Rocks before. We arrived fifteen minutes before the show was scheduled to start, and could not find a place to sit in the entire place. We ended up standing toward the back, until the wind started kicking up dirt into our eyes, and eventually found ourselves watching the show from outside of the main seating area, on the other side of the steps. It wasn’t a bad spot actually, and we could see everything, not that there was much to see. The band has the simplest setup I’ve ever seen on that stage, or possibly on any stage. They stay very true to the tribute, and play with just enough gear to get by. But what they may lack in stage presence, they make up for in great sounding music. It truly felt like you were hearing a live performance from the Beatles. This band is a must see!
