Decent Tribute Bands?
nimrod:
That sounds good Kor , one thing for me always lets Beatle tribute bands down is when it comes to someone trying to sing like John Lennon.
Ive never heard one yet that has the power or tone of John, always a weak link in the band.
I saw a band do The White album here in Oz and the guy looked like Lennon but when it came to the powerful bits of Dear prudence and Warm Gun, the voice was a let down, although the softer parts were ok.

...and he's not double-tracked. He even looks a bit like the young John Lennon. icon_good
Hello Goodbye:
It Won't Be Long was the first song that John Lennon sang which featured his double-tracked lead vocals...
John Lennon is definitely in the forefront of this song with his razor-sharp rhythm guitar and commanding lead vocals. This was the first song that Lennon sang which featured double-tracked lead vocals. This song was the perfect vehicle for this since his vocals were not sung in unison with Paul as many of the previous songs were. This added a deserved fullness to his vocal track which resulted in a very confident and convincing vocal performance. “That’s when we discovered double-tracking,” Lennon later stated. “When I discovered it, I double-tracked everything. I wouldn’t let him have anything single-tracked from then on.” Although this was an exaggeration, listeners can’t help but notice how prominent double-tracking vocals and guitar leads were throughout the next couple of years.
