Well, obviously, not the actual Beatles. As you know, because you live in the world, The Beatles broke up in 1969, and two of them are no longer living; and if the actual Beatles had played somewhere on this planet, the Internet, your cell phone and all of your relatives in their late 50s and early 60s would have crumbled into cyclones of OVER CAPACITY error messages. When I say that The Beatles invaded the Kennedy Center, what I mean is that a Beatles tribute band, known as the Classical Mystery Tour, stopped in D.C. last weekend and played three shows to packed houses, with the accompaniment of the National Symphony Orchestra.
As their website says, the four members of The Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles. I don’t know if these guys have had plastic surgery in order to resemble their respective fab four members more exactly (I think they probably have), or if they just happen to have been born with a remarkable amount of luck, but it’s pretty uncanny. I don’t think they’d fool any true fans, but they certainly do a good job of playing songs as originally recorded, and a great job of impersonating them on stage as well.
