Beatles tribute brings psychedelia to TCU Place
It was the night the symphony got psychedelic, classical, magical, mysterious and then - ended in a dance party.On Saturday night, a sold-out crowd of Saskatoon music lovers came together at TCU Place to pay tribute to the music of the Beatles in a surreal, intergenerational happening that paid homage to one of the greatest rock bands of all time.The excitement wasn't for the Beatles themselves, but a group of tribute artists who have their act down to a science. The exciting concert - complete with three costume changes - was occasionally campy but always incredible. The globe-trotting members of the Los Angeles-based Classical Mystery Tour, backed by Saskatoon's Symphony Orchestra, performed the songs of the Beatles as they were recorded, with live musicians acting as dead-ringer doppelgangers of a subdued John Lennon (David Leon), handsome George Harrison (John Brosnan), a cheeky Paul McCartney (Paul Lawson) and a quirky Ringo Starr (Joe Bologna).
