SUMMARY:Variety Playhouse: The Silver Beats (Beatles Tribute Band from
	 Tokyo)
DESCRIPTION:  8/7/08 I just bought my tickets online through Variety P
	layhouse's Ticket Club. With the $2 service charge it came out to $19.
	50. This option is will call- so when I show up I'll have to present m
	y ID and email or credit card to get my ticket. I'm prepared to wait i
	n line- that tends to happen there. There are a couple more options fo
	r you to purchase your tickets to this event: through Ticketmaster or 
	going to Variety's box office (ticket booth) which is open 12noon - 6 
	pm Mon-Fri. I don't know how much Ticketmaster's surcharges are. If yo
	u pay cash at Variety's ticket booth\, there's no charge (there's a $1
	 charge for plastic) as per Variety's website- see the link below. Her
	e's the links for tix: http://www.variety-playhouse.com/tickets.html a
	nd: http://www.variety-playhouse.com/#silverbeats Variety offers gener
	al admission so there's no assigned seating. It depends on how early y
	ou get there and how long the lines are to get in. It'll be just like 
	the 60s- we'll be stampeding to get in like crazed fans! We'll be fain
	ting at the sight of "Paul" and "John"!! If you decide to wait till th
	e day of the show to get tickets you might be out of luck because show
	s do sell out- esp the day of an event. I'll email more contact info a
	 day or two before the show so we can find each other when we get ther
	e. If folks are interested in dinner\, post a comment on your RSVP. I'
	m still undecided since I don't know what direction I'll be driving fr
	om but you guys could hook up for dinner without me. Looking forward t
	o it! Dear Non-Beatles Fans and\, of course\, Beatles fans: Come join 
	us at Variety and find out what all the fuss is about! This tribute ba
	nd is making the rounds and making news. Though they may speak limited
	 English\, they know all the words to the Beatles songs. Read more abo
	ut it: Per Variety's website: http://www.variety-playhouse.com/#silver
	beats The Silver Beats are a Beatles tribute act from Tokyo\, Japan\, 
	and since their 2002 debut at Tokyo?s world renowned Cavern Club\, the
	y have received national and international acclaim for their faithful 
	reproduction of the Beatles music\, and style. This acclaim includes e
	ndorsements from such music notables as Denny Laine (Wings)\, Alan Par
	sons\, Tower of Power\, Brian May and Roger Taylor (Queen)\, Keith Eme
	rson (ELP) and The Killers. There was even a personal backstage meetin
	g with Sir Paul McCartney\, where McCartney introduced the band?s ?Pau
	l? (Tadaaki Naganuma)\, as the ?Japanese Paul?! In America the ?Beats?
	 has been interviewed and/or noted in major print publications such as
	 the Milwaukee Journal\, Mercury Sun\, Spin Magazine Online\, Rolling 
	Stone\, The Washington Post\, and most recently\, an interview for NPR
	?s ?All Things Considered?(Jan. 2008). In early 2007 multi platinum re
	cording artists ?The Killers? were in Tokyo filming a music video\, an
	d went to the Cavern Club to see the ?Beats?. They were so impressed t
	hat they asked them to open as direct support for their upcoming US to
	ur\, which would include sold out appearances at some of America?s mos
	t historic and important venues including The Ryman Auditorium in Nash
	ville\, and Madison Square Garden in NYC. Of all of the things that ha
	ve been written about the ?Beats?\, perhaps what is most talked about 
	is their incredible ability to create a true ?Beatles experience?. Man
	y have written comments saying\; ?This is as close as it gets to the r
	eal thing!? Even those old enough to have seen the actual Beatles have
	 also remarked similarly. An amazing accomplishment given that they ar
	e Japanese\, and speak very limited English! Onstage and off the band 
	has that same kind of playful charm that made the Beatles themselves s
	o endearing\, and each member of the ?Beats? takes their chosen charac
	ter very seriously. They are not just ?acting out? a role\, but quite 
	literally seem to take on the whole spirit\, and persona of their ?Bea
	tle? counterpart. In fact the Beats ?John? bears an uncanny resemblanc
	e to the late John Lennon. Though their English is limited\, the band 
	knows every lyric\, and performs over 160 songs from the Beatles canon
	. Their style focuses on the early ?Beatlemania? period with ?mop top?
	 haircuts\, matching Black (Ed Sullivan)\, Tan (Shea Stadium)\, and Gr
	een (Buddokan)\, suits\, ?winkle Picker? boots\, Rickenbacker\, Epipho
	ne\, Gretsch\, and Hofner guitars\, Vox amps\, and Ludwig drums. The b
	and's website: http://www.silverbeats.com/english/index.html Yes\, it'
	s a school night\, but they came all the way from Japan to be here! Ev
	en though I don't normally listen to this music\, it's pretty cool. We
	 can dance down in the front!!! Assuming they don't fill that area w/ 
	seats.... Tickets $17.50 advance\, $20 day of the show.\n
