Beatles vs. Stones - A Musical Showdown 

About

The debate between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 54 years ago. The argument at the time, and one that still persists, was that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who's better? These two legendary bands will engage in an on-stage throw-down - musical 'showdown' if you will - at Mayo Civic Center on Thursday, September 16 at 7:30pm courtesy of tribute bands Abbey Road and Satisfaction - The International Rolling Stones Show.

During the two-hour show, the bands perform three sets each, trading places in quick set changes and ending the night with an all-out encore involving both bands. The band members have their outfits custom-made, since avid fans know exactly what the Beatles and Stones wore onstage during different time periods in their careers. There's a lot of good-natured jabbing between the bands as well.
