The Fab Four are going to be playing a show at the Starlight Bowl, high above the lovely city of Burbank. Actually, it's a very cool little outdoor venue, nestled into the hillside with a beautiful view of the valley below. You can bring in your own food and liquid refreshment (beer and wine) and enjoy a great show beneath the starts! The show is on August 2nd. Doors open at 5:30p.m. Tickets are only $9.00 online. The Fab Four is just about the best Beatles tribute group around. This group was chosen by The Rutles themselves (Eric Idle, Neill Innes, et al) to portray them at last year's Rutles' show in Hollywood. The actual Rutles were there, listening to their own music being played by the Fab Four. Pretty cool! I'm going, thanks to Cathy's (beatlechick) sending me the info. Cathy is going, too. We'd love it if any of you could join in the fun! I live about 3 minutes away from this venue. Any out-of-towners could crash at my place, as long as you don't mind a couple of really cute dogs.

This is a great place to see these guys. A very appreciative crowd and in a small amphitheater. Love this place. Come on Mary Ann, you've been wanting to see them now's a good chance to see them outside of Vegas! Barb, you can crash at Bev's! |

I think those may be gone. Cathy and I (and Barb, if she comes) are sitting in section A. We can sit wherever we'd like within that section, but of course, it's first come, first served. I hope you can make it, Jillian. I can pick you up from the train station at Universal. It's only about 10 minutes away. Just say the word. |

Last I saw, they were just about all sold out. Come sit with us. Hell if they allow us up near the stage, no sitting anyway. I know where my spot is in front of the stage. It has my name there. Just dawned on me that you're probably talking about the OC Fair. Duh!

I hope you do. I would've suggested a get together, esp if Barb and Jillian were coming, the night before but I am seeing The Fabs at the Canyon Club that night. Spending the weekend with them, I hope their wives don't mind!

Actually the group you saw was not THE Fab Four but a group, yes they had split off from the original group, called Fab Four....Live! See a lot of people are confused by the name and, we believe, that was the intention. Their John was fired from the group so he got their Ringo to leave as well. They joined this other band who are now, or had been, in a lawsuit with The Fab Four who own the rights to the name. |

I've been checking dates and found out we have reservations to go to the wine country and leaving on Aug. 2 darn it. I'm disappointed because I really want to see them. If you hear of any other shows close by, please let me know. It would be fun to hang out with you guys again. |
