2010 Fans' Choice Award "BEST ROCK SHOW"

LIVERPOOL LEGENDS WINS "BEST ROCK SHOW"

FANS' CHOICE AWARD

Chris Myer began by introducing himself and that he was here tonight representing bransoncritic.com. He gave a brief history of the Bransoncritic.com website and it's purpose.

He explained "In 2009 the Liverpool Legends won 'Best Tribute Show.' They have won other awards in years past. It is exciting for us to be able to be here again tonight to honor the Liverpool Legends as they finish their fifth season in Branson.

Here are some of the highlights of reviews that were received this year.

Karen, Michigan
"I saw the Liverpool Legends several times over the summer and couldn't believe the quality of the playing as well as the energy that the guys put into the show!! Their attention to detail is amazing from the songs themselves to the costumes, instruments, and sets. The Liverpool Legends are more than a show, they are an experience! They had us up and dancing in front of the stage during the Shay Stadium set and again at the end of the show."

Joanne, Minneapolis
"The Liverpool Legends are an experience that everyone should have. They make you feel as though you are at a Beatles concert. Each of the musicians has unending talent. This show appeals to all ages. I took my daughter and she loved it too. When the show ends, you are left wanting more."

Joy, OKC
"As fantastic as the Liverpool Legends were last season, they're even better this season. I was so surprised with all the costume, set, and song changes the first time I saw them in Branson this year."

Sherry from Missouri said:
"Sadly, the evening ended before I was ready for it to. That's okay, I was up dancing and singing, smiling and clapping, and even bought a cd afterward! If you've not seen Liverpool Legends before, you need to before the end of the season! These guys are top notch, and I know why they are nominated year after year for awards!!!!! Because they ROCK!!!!!"

In many of the reviews it talked about how the Liverpool Legends is a show that all ages can enjoy. That is the one thing about Branson- it is a place where entertainment brings people together. Liverpool Legends is certainly a show that does this.

It is my pleasure to present the 2010 Branson Critic Fan Award for “Best Rock Show” to the LiverPool Legends and Louise Harrison. Thanks to Marty, Greg, Bob and Kevin for your talent and providing great entertainment.

2009 FANS’ AWARD BEST TRIBUTE SHOW – LIVERPOOL LEGENDS

November 14, 2009, 8:00 PM

The BransonCritic awards team attended the Liverpool Legends show on Saturday night for the presentation of the 2009 Best Tribute Show Award.  Chad Ray, Director of Operations, made the presentation to Louise Harrison, along with “The Lads” (Marty, Kevin, Bob, and Greg) on stage.  Chad gave a brief background of BransonCritic.com and then read some quotes from Liverpool Legends fans, including:

Joy from Oklahoma City, OK
The Liverpool Legends …. bring back the magic of the Beatles …..they capture the feeling of the 1960's, and take the audience on an fabulous ride with fantastic musical performances.  Marty plays George like none other.  He can reproduce George's incredible guitar solos .....He looks and sounds unbelievably like George - and even has George's smile.  Kevin not only sounds and looks just like John, but brings John's crazy personality to the stage.  If you compare footage of John Lennon ... to Kevin, it's amazing…. including everything from Lennon's “off the wall” comments ... to his ever present gum-chewing.  Bob is marvelous at playing Paul.  His vocals are insanely like Sir Paul's…and he can hit all of Sir Paul's signature high notes.  And, of course, he plays bass guitar left-handed.  Not only does Greg sound just like Ringo, but he looks a lot like him as well.  He styles his drumming to match Ringo on the Beatles records perfectly.  Bob Dobro is …an absolutely awesome keyboardist.  He provides sound effects and orchestrations ... ….and without him, it would be impossible to perform a lot of the Beatle’s songs.  Louise Harrison is a remarkable lady.  She has a treasure trove of Beatle stories she happily shares with the audience during intermission….and it's an absolute honor to hear her talk and meet her after the show.

COME TOGETHER with the Liverpool Legends

April 10, 2009

COME TOGETHER….and join the party at the Starlite Theatre with the Liverpool Legends!!

“One and one and one is three,” as the song goes……..now, add one more because a brand new fourth has very recently been added to the Liverpool Legends!  His name is Bob Beahon, and he is their “new Paul!”  Welcome to Branson, Bob!

I was more than a little bit anxious to see whom it was Louise Harrison picked to fill Paul’s space onstage.  Great job, Louise  –  I was pleasantly surprised.  I think you all will be, too!

The guys have stepped up the list of songs and every song I heard was a favorite of mine – the very first time this has really happened.  The first song, “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” started the show.

OPENING NIGHT AT THE STARLITE – starring the LIVERPOOL LEGENDS

April 25, 2008

Starlite Theatre – April 1, 2008 – The Liverpool Legends gave us all a night full of surprises!  The excitement was in the air from the moment we arrived at the theatre – about 2 hours early.  Everyone was on pins and needles wondering what the night held for us!  Exciting really doesn’t begin to say it! 

Once inside the Starlite, one can’t help but look up to admire the immense lobby with all the glass windows.  And there, hanging near the rafters, are several large Liverpool Legends banners to welcome you.  Hanging on the walls, too, are black and white framed photos of the real Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.  Compare each of the members of the original band with each member of the Liverpool Legends and you will be amazed at the resemblances.  Towards the front is a new souvenir shop with Beatles t-shirts, magnets, etc. – all situated around a 1960’s Volkswagen bus – painted in the love and peace, flower power motif from that era. 

Step into the café to see booths now coordinated with the Union Flag colors for backdrops.  More black and white photos of The Beatles – which I’m told will be for sale – are hanging on the walls.  Be sure and take a walk-through and get yourself a dip of ice cream or a soda to enjoy before or during the show!

I have seen this show 10 times between August 2010 and August 2011. They are absolutely the BEST show that Branson has EVER had.

I used to go to Branson every summer as a kid; so I know what has been there and they by far are the BEST thing to ever hit Branson. I have grown up loving the Beatles, but after seeing Liverpool Legends, my love for the Beatles and their music is so much stronger.

I walked out of the theatre the first time and was just in awe. My mom, who grew up in the Beatles era, asked me if I was ok. My response was, "I think I just saw The Beatles live in concert".

All four of the guys in this show, Marty (George), Kevin (John), Greg (Ringo) and Bob (Paul) are so dead on with the looks, vocals, musical talent and personalities of the Fab Four that you walk out feeling as though you have went back in time and got to see the real deal!

THANK YOU MARTY SCOTT AND LOUISE HARRISON FOR BRINGING LIVERPOOL LEGENDS TO BRANSON!!!!

My wife and I saw 14 shows in Branson, Mo. on our vacation.

The best show that we saw was the Liverpool Legends. It was like going through time and seeing the Beatles at their many live concerts through out the years. My wife and I felt like we were teenagers again (like when the Beatles were here).

We have seen many groups over the last 40 years that do the Beatles songs, and none of them are as good as Liverpool Legends. We suggest that anyone that loves the Beatles music should buy tickets to the Liverpool Legends. You will be so happy you did.

They are truly the best show in Branson, MO.

The Boys are incredible. They are the best show in Branson.

Marty Scott does a magnificent job of being George Harrison. Greg is a fun Ringo. Kevin portrays John perfectly. Both bobs are wonderful. Sherrie is fun loving and a joy to be around. I’m glad that I went to see them.

Louise Harrison was a pleasure seeing. She truly loves her brother and the show he ran. Now the Liverpool Legends do a great job of taking up where the Beatles left off in 84. They are great musicians and wonderful actors. The costumes are precise and full of merriment. The back grounds are wonderful as well.

Thank you Liverpool Legends!

Liverpool Legends has stepped up the production value of their 2010 show by leaps and bounds!!

Not only are they doing more songs that they've not done in the previous shows, but they've also added the Cavern Club set to their lineup. When the Ed Sullivan comes on the stage, you're immediately transported back to that night in 1964, but instead of watching it on television - you're live in the studio audience! The stage eerily like the one did back in the day... You see John, Paul, George and Ringo in their black suits with the skinny ties, playing vintage instruments lick for lick like the originals did. It's pretty freaky to not only see these guys playing the songs because they look so much like the Beatles, but to hear them gives me absolute chills!!!

Paul does a fantastic rendition of Yesterday on acoustic guitar, even encouraging the crowd to sing along! I was so impressed with this guy, I found myself singing loudly - much to the dismay of my friends who have since informed me that I will never be on stage... haha!!

The Cavern Club set transports you back further in time to the dank, dark place where the Beatles honed their craft with simply 60 watt light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. But oddly, you can't help but notice the wall behind the band, which is a great resemblance to the one at the original Cavern Club. The band comes out in the black vests and ties that the Beatles wore when they played there, which I didn't know until I researched it after getting home last night.

The third set is the Shea Stadium set, which is hosted by Ed Sullivan. The band appears to be playing on the baseball field, in their brown jackets with the Wells Fargo badges on their lapels. Their look has evolved into the more modern Beatles, the instruments sticking with what the originals played, as well as the Vox amps that the Beatles were famous for!

Don't forget about Yellow Submarine, with the bubbles and cartoon sub going across the back screen, as well as real live bubbles pouring into the air, much to the delight of the children - of all ages!!

At intermission, Louise Harrison, George Harrison's big sister, comes on stage and answers pretty much any question fielded to her. She's pretty entertaining in her own right, but you can tell how proud she is of her kid brother.

After her segment, the second half begins with George playing a Sitar, sitting on a flying carpet!! That's pretty awesome! Those things are so foreign to me, I didn't know what it was, and from what I've seen on youtube, they're not very easy to play!

When the second half gets going full force, there's a great Sgt Pepper theme going on! All the guys are in the more colorful outfits, George in orange, with the big plume in his hat, Ringo in pink, Paul in blue and John in yellow. There is so much in this segment that I forget what songs are from which albums! But they do so many, you will surely be singing something...

The last segment starts with George playing Here Comes the Sun. That's always been a favorite of mine, so perhaps I favor it a bit. He does it as a solo, which proves what a guitar virtuoso this man is! The screen in the back has a cartoon sunrise coming up, and it is so fitting that you can't help but smile when you see it.

After this, John sits at a white grand piano, center stage, playing Imagine. If that doesn't give you chills, nothing will. The guy is so amazing as John, you honestly forget that he isn't the original.

The last sets are the Rooftop Set and Abbey Road set. The guys do such great work, you don't realize that the end is near! Bob Dobro is the magician on the keys who makes the band appear more Beatle-y than most others. There's not much this man can't play, and he is such an asset to this show, and so under rated. The man is a musical genius and a walking Beatle encyclopedia!

Sadly, the evening ended before I was ready for it to. That's okay, I was up dancing and singing, smiling and clapping, and even bought a CD afterward! If you've not seen Liverpool Legends before, you need to before the end of the season! They're doing a short season, with only a couple weeks left before they're done. I plan to see them a few more times before they leave, to get my Beatle-fix!!

These guys are top notch, and I know why they are nominated year after year for awards!!!!! Because they ROCK!!!!!

Branson is loaded with talent! My positively absolutely favorite display of talent is Liverpool Legends--again. Seeing shows in Branson is a vocation for me.

Opportunity provided by living close-by means I get to view almost any show I choose and I try to see most. Liverpool Legends moves me back to the days when Paul, John, George, and Ringo spelled out a positive, hope-filled way of perceiving life that's inspired millions and reached new fans daily for the past 45 years. Every show I've seen this year, and I've seen about 15 of them, includes an audience spanning generations--no gap here. People sing and dance even as they leave the theatre thanks to the faithful rendition these terrific actors and musicians provide. Then most of the audience stands in line to personally connect with the tribute group most closely resembling the Beatles that Louise Harrison hand picked. Bob, Kevin, Marty, Gregg and Bob (stand-in for the London Symphony Orchestra) stay in character, meet and greet, sign anything, and pose over and over again for pictures with everyone who stays. Louise continues to listen to folks and answer their questions, just as she did at intermission from the stage. Meanwhile, songs such as "Do you Want to Know a Secret?" "Yellow Submarine," "Here Comes the Sun," and "Imagine" backlight our lives and hum in our brains for weeks to come.

Is it any wonder this group pulls in so many regulars?

These lads from Liverpool have done it again!!! They've by far surpassed all the previous years they've performed in Branson, as well as the road shows I've seen! Not only have they changed the show entirely, they have succeeded in adding an entire additional set to their seemingly perfect show...

They are now doing everything from The Cavern Club set all the way through the Abbey Road set! I'm not sure how they're going to improve upon this show for next year, but I would hazard to guess that they will!

The lighting and sound are better than ever!! The video screens are so crucial to the production, helping add information and entertainment to enhance the experience not only subliminally, but to bring you back into that time with the news clips and interviews done with people who were actually there at that moment! For those of us who were not there, it helps to draw us in and let us forget that it is NOT 1964 for the next couple hours!

The biggest thing I've seen with the new theater is their back video system. They are able to enhance the show with this screen to display video going across the entire back of the set, to draw you in more completely! This added feature has brought Liverpool Legends from simply a "show" to a "full scale production"!! The Yellow Submarine sails across it, in the Sea of Green, with air bubbles floating up all the way across, while the actual bubbles are blasted throughout the audience, where all the young - and young at heart - grasp for them like diamonds falling from the sky...

I LOVE the new opening to the 2nd half! I never knew George was so talented... That's all I'm gonna say, as I don't want to give it away!!

You'll be screaming like a school girl, dancing in the aisles, and singing at the top of your lungs all the way from the Ed Sullivan opening set through the end of the Rooftop set! These guys portray the Fab Four in such a way, you'll keep expecting Yoko Ono to come out on stage... SHE WON'T, by the way... hahaha!!

I've seen people from toddlers to seniors in walkers and wheelchairs at this show. They dance, the smile, they sing, and at the end of the night, they're in the autograph line telling the band how much they loved the show!!

I first saw the Liverpool Legends when they were on tour through Oklahoma during the off season in Branson. I fell in love with the attention to detail they put in their show. From the costumes to the guitars to the sound, it's the closest thing anyone will ever get to hearing and seeing the Beatles in concert again. Each set brings costume changes as well as changes to the stage to match the songs. I've seen Liverpool Legends twenty times in concert now, and I am always entertained each time I see them.

This season Liverpool Legends moved from the Starlite Theater to The Mansion. The Mansion is a beautiful 3,000 seat theater. There is a great projection screen behind the stage that plays all sorts of vintage footage during the show. On the right side of the lobby in The Mansion is a souvenir table for the show where you can purchase all sorts of Liverpool Legends t-shirts, photos, and CDs. There is also a cool gift shop to the side of the lobby where you can purchase other CDs and t-shirts for the other shows that play at The Mansion. There is also a concession area in the lobby. During intermission is a great time to buy a photo or t-shirt since the Liverpool Legends come out to the souvenir table to sign autographs and take pictures with everyone after the show is over.

As fantastic as the Liverpool Legends were last season, they're even better this season. I was so surprised with all the costume, set, and song changes the first time I saw them in Branson this year. In addition to the sets and costumes they had last season, they added a Cavern Club set. This new set includes songs like “Ain't She Sweet” and, one of my favorites, “Roll Over Beethoven”.

Marty, Kevin, Bob, and Greg are as fantastic as ever. Marty not only brings George's signature sound with lead guitar and vocals, but he also added a beautiful sitar solo to the show this year. Kevin plays John like no one else can. He brings Lennon's off the wall personality to stage. He added “Imagine” to the set list this year, which always proves to be an audience favorite. Bob makes a fantastic Paul. You'll be thinking it's “Yesterday” when you hear him play left handed bass and sing. Greg plays Ringo like none other. He looks and sounds just like the famous drummer. Bob Dobro is the 5th Beatle. He takes the place of the orchestra in many of the songs in the show and is a great keyboardist. Of course, the show is not complete without Louise Harrison. She takes the stage during intermission for a question and answer session. It's always amazing to hear all of her Beatles stories.

Liverpool Legends is so much fun to see. The show brings back the feeling of 1960's. Everyone, from families to long-time Beatles fans, have a great time. The show takes the audience from the beginnings of Beatlemania all the way to Let It Be. The Liverpool Legends are fantastic and talented performers. Liverpool Legends is the best show in Branson.

The new theater is awesome.

As far as the show is concerned, the new computer graphics they are using are amazing.

The addition of the cavern club set is wonderful. For fans that have been seeing the Liverpool Legends for years, the changes are great, but any true Liverpool Legends fan would agree whatever the guys chose to play would be time well spent. As for me and my niece, we can't possibly leave the theater, before we are planning our next trip to see the Liverpool Legends. This band is not just are go to for entertainment in Branson, we look forward to their winter tour through Oklahoma. Louise Harrison has made some fantastic choices with the band members and their dedication to making their music as close as possible to the Beatles. Also the intermission is as wonderful as the show when Louise honors the audience with her wonderful stories of her brother George and his band, as well as! her take on the world and how we as a planet can make it better.

I will be a 4Ever Liverpool Legend Fan!!!!!

The Liverpool Legends are the best Beatles Tribute Band that I have ever seen!

My aunt and I started out going to see them because we are Beatles fans, but ended up becoming Liverpool Legend fans. The guys are genuinely John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Bob Dobro provides excellent musicianship and accompaniment to the songs as well. The different sets and costumes provide a great atmosphere for the fans. I especially love when “George” plays the sitar. We love to hear Louis speak at every performance about the band and her George.

They are truly a must see while in Branson!

My age is 56, which made me around 9 or 10 years old when Beatlemania swept the nation. Although a little young, I was certainly caught up by the movement. There is no telling what I would have sacrificed to have seen the Beatles live in concert. The Liverpool Legends provide the next best thing to making that dream come true. I think the show did an excellent job of covering the chronological changes The Beatles career passed through. Also, my 11 and 12 year old daughters understand a little better that important part of history, although my rabid "participation" and celebration of the music I loved so much may have embarrassed them just a little.

The Liverpool Legends are an experience that everyone should have.
They make you feel as though you are at a Beatles concert. Each of the musicians has unending talent. This show appeals to all ages. I took my daughter and she loved it too. When the show ends, you are left wanting more. Then comes a unique opportunity: you can meet the performers in person. At this time, we also had the opportunity to meet the real George Harrison's sister Louise.

I have attended this show 4 times and plan on seeing it many more times.

Their attention to detail is amazing from the songs themselves to the costumes, instruments, and sets. The Liverpool Legends are more than a show, they are an experience! They had us up and dancing in front of the stage during the Shay Stadium set and again at the end of the show. Vocally, they are spot-on and I especially loved Bob Beahon's rendition of "Hey Jude" - he actually sounds better than Sir Paul on this one!! Kevin Montegna is perfect night after night on "A Day in the Life" and Marty Scott shines on "Something". Greg George never let us down with his version of "Yellow Submarine" and I loved the bubble machines!!!

This is definitely the Best Show in Branson!!!!

My husband & I have been following the Liverpool Legends for a number of years. We started seeing them at suburban Chicago fests and have followed their show to Branson. We have seen several Beatles tribute bands and feel they are definitely the best! Not only do they resemble the Beatles, but their actions and mannerisms emulate the real guys also! But the REAL proof is in their music - unbelievable is what it is...you actually feel as if you are listening to the Beatles!! Their show is good, clean family-friendly fare. It is a walk down memory lane for all baby-boomers and all-around good entertainment for everyone. Their costume changes and related period songs are great. Yellow Submarine was especially entertaining for kids with the bubble machines! Audience participation is always encouraged and was especially evident in Hey Jude. The frosting on the cake is Louise Harrison. Not only does she present this fantastic group of talented lads with pleasure, but she is a true asset to the Branson community. Her efforts in implementing recycling are to be commended. Purchasing a ticket to see the Liverpool Legends is the best Branson investment you can make! We will continue to see them as often as we can!

I first saw Liverpool Legends the first few months they arrived in Branson in 2006 and had fun meeting Louise Harrison in the lobby.  When I said "cheese" for the camera, told me to say "the Beatles" instead because that always makes people smile!  Have seen the Liverpool Legends on each subsequent visit to Branson, as their sound is so true to the Beatles.  I can only imagine what a real Beatles concert must have been like back in the day, and listening to Liverpool Legends allows people to hear the very next best thing.  I enjoy their Starlite Theater venue - for convenient parking, good snackbar, good seating and comfortable large lobby area before and after the show.  This show is unique in that fans can meet Louise Harrison, sister of Beatle George Harrison and she comes on stage at intermission to answer questions from the audience in a very nice, welcoming manner.  I am amazed how this group sounds like the actual Beatles - they strive to do that and have hit the nail on the head. That true sound keeps me going back.  The costume changes are wonderful and black and white film footage of actual Beatles concert, etc. before the show is excellent.  This show should get an award like Best Band or Best Show!

I have been coming to Branson for years on vacation, but I am a relatively new fan of the Beatles. As such, it is not really surprising that I had never seen Liverpool Legends, given it has only been here the past few of years anyway. However, last Wednesday night, I went to the Starlite Theatre and watched the show.

And loved it!!! These guys were completely amazing! I cannot believe how much they sound like the real Beatles. The Liverpool Legends boys even bear a strong resemblance to the Fab Four. And even with this, I feel the most impressive thing--the thing that really launches the show--is the way they move and joke around with one another. It's classic John, George, Ringo, and Paul.

And the attention to detail is astounding! They use the same kinds of instruments and amplifiers to recreate that beloved Beatle music for a whole new generation of Beatle People (such as yours truly). The props are nothing short of super as well. Everything from the Ed Sullivan arrows to the Big Blue Meanie is rife with Beatles history.

After the curtain drops, you'd think the show would be over--but wait! There's more. The Liverpool Legends boys come out to sign afterwards and the fun starts up again. Just watching them interact with their audience is a treat. It is then that you realize that underneath their mop-tops, they are Beatles fans too. And it brings them such joy to share that love with their own fans, and to reinvigorate it in those who have forgotten it.

Starlite Theatre

The Liverpool Legends show is an absolutely amazing show.  I first saw them in Branson's off-season when they came touring through my state. I have now seen this show a total of eight different times (6 of those times being in Branson). When I come to Branson, this is the show I always come to see. It is my main reason for going to Branson.

 When I first went to the Starlite, the first thing I noticed about it was how beautiful it was.  The walls and ceiling in the lobby area are all glass, so it has a very open feeling. The Starlite was also very clean. I've never seen any form of trash or food wrappers on the ground either in the lobby or the actual theatre.

The lobby is always a great place to hang out before the show starts.  If you get there early enough, there is a good BBQ restaurant located in the lobby.  The lobby is decorated in full Beatles fashion.  They bring the 60's diner feel out to the lobby with vintage style diner seating.  When you first enter the theater you enter on a road painted on the floor that replicates the crosswalk from Abby Road.  There are usually a couple classic cars to look at inside too.

The gift shop is all reasonably priced. There you can purchase great Beatles and Liverpool Legends items. They carry all different kinds of Beatles related shirts, coffee cups, posters, key chains, buttons...the list goes on and on. You can also buy some pretty cool Liverpool Legends shirts and other merchandise there too.

The theatre is a good size, not too small and not too large. The seating is all very comfortable and there isn't a bad seat in the house.  Even if you were on the last row you would still have a fine view.  If by chance you do have trouble seeing, they run projectors throughout the show.

The show begins with a few video clips introducing and setting the stage for the Liverpool Legends.  You get to hear Louise Harrison (yes, that's George's sister) describing the band, and in no time at all, the band comes on stage.

They first come on in early Beatles costume.  Songs like "She Loves You" and "Twist and Shout" and many others are in this set.  Lots of fun. The stage is designed so it reflects the Ed Sullivan theatre where the Beatles performed when they first came over.

Next, another short clip and a costume change brings on the Shea Stadium era.  This is amazing. As the band plays, vintage footage is played on the projection screen behind them.  It brings back some of the madness that was Shea Stadium. Again, this is an amazing set list. Songs like "In my Life" and "Yellow Submarine" are always included.

Next, is a short intermission. During this time you can buy glossy photos and cds of the band from a sales counter they have set up in the theatre. I highly recommend purchasing a photo since you can get it signed after the show.  But the highlight of the intermission is when Louise Harrison comes out and does a question-and-answer with the audience.  This is an amazing experience since Louise was right there with the Beatles during the height of Beatlemania. She can answer questions about all of the Beatles as no one else can since she was right there with them. It's an experience any Beatles fan will always treasure.

Next comes the Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour set.  This includes songs like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "All you Need is Love", "Day Tripper," and many others. Children particularly love this set because all the band is dressed in the bright Sgt. Pepper outfits.

The last set is Abby Road. The band, of course, is dressed in clothes like on the Abbey Road cover.  This set includes songs like "Hey Jude", "Something", and "Revolution".  This is always a great set. The performances are absolutely amazing.

After the show you can go out to the lobby and meet the band and Louis Harrison.  Don't miss it! Lots of fun and you can always get your picture taken with them.

Some notes on the band:

George:
Marty plays George like none other. He can reproduce George's amazing guitar solos just like on the records.  He looks and sounds an unbelievable amount like George and even has George's smile.

John:
Kevin not only sounds and looks just like John, but also brings John's crazy personality to the stage.  If you compare footage of John Lennon when the Beatles performed to Kevin in Liverpool Legends it's amazing.  Kevin includes everything from Lennon's off the wall comments to John's ever present gum chewing.

Paul:
Bob is amazing at playing Paul. I've seen Sir Paul McCartney is concert.  Bob's vocals are insanely like Sir Paul's. He can hit all of Sir Paul's signature high notes. And of course, he plays bass guitar left-handed.

Greg:
Not only does Greg sound just like Ringo, but he looks a lot like him as well.  Greg styles his drumming to match Ringo's on the Beatle's records. Sounds amazing!

Bob Dobro:
Bob is the 5th Liverpool Legends.  He is the guy on keyboard on stage. He is an absolutely amazing keyboardist. He provides sound effects and the like for the Beatles songs that the Liverpool Legends perform. Without him it would be impossible to play a lot of the Beatle's songs.

Louise Harrison:
Really what is there to say? She is an absolutely amazing lady. She is the one who organized and hand picked all the members of Liverpool Legends.  She has a treasure trove of Beatles stories she happily shares with the audience during intermission.  It's an absolute honor to hear her talk and meet her after the performance.

Liverpool Legends is a great show to say the least. It brings back the magic of the Beatles like nothing else can.  They are the best Beatles tribute band.  They capture the feeling of the 1960's and bring the audience on an amazing ride through fantastic music and amazing performances.  Everyone in the show is extremely talented.  Liverpool Legends is the greatest show in Branson.

The Starlight Theater is the place to be, for the Liverpool Legends you all must see.

They re-create the Beatles throughout their musical career, with precise attention to every detail through all the songs you'll hear.

From costume changes to special effects to the way they look they same, The Liverpool Legends have toured the world and definitely lived up to their name.

Of all the shows I've come to see this one is really the best, The way it's put together is better then all the rest.

So when you come to BRANSON there is one thing you should know The Liverpool Legends is the Ultimate Beatles Tribute Show!

My husband has always been a Beatle fan, when we went and seen the show he was totally amazed at their performance. They did a great job and we totally had a great time. My husband even told the John Lennon performer that he would be very proud of him. That he did an excellent job at singing his songs. We took our granddaughter on the 25 of Sept and she totally enjoyed the show and loved the music, when they said they had to go to the landing to perform after the show, she asked if we could go and watch them again. We did and as always they did great. They do a great job at making you relax and enjoy their music and I will be going to see them again and again. Everyone who goes to Branson need to go see the Liverpool legends. They are totally awesome.

I have been a huge Beatles fan for as long as I can remember. Of course, they broke up the year I was born so I never got the chance to know what it was like to have them around. That is until I saw Liverpool Legends. Liverpool Legends do a great job portraying the Beatles. They sound so much like the original group, and the costumes are great. Liverpool Legends performs songs from the early "Ed Sullivan" years, to "Abbey Road". The show starts out with "Please Please Me", "Daytripper", and "Twist and Shout" just to name a few. During intermission, Louise Harrison, comes out and answers questions from the audience or tells her stories of the Beatles and her brother. The second part of the show begins the "Sgt. Peppers" era. This is when Ringo sings "Yellow Submarine" and everyone is treated with bubbles floating everywhere. And then there is the "Abbey Road" era. Bob does a wonderful job singing, "Hey Jude". I was thrilled to see that they added "Here Comes The S
un" and "Revolution" to this year's show. Liverpool Legends are: Marty Scott (as George), Kevin Mantegna (as John), Bob Beahon (as Paul), and Greg George (as Ringo). Let‚s not forget about Bob Dobro, their keyboard player, who definitely adds to the show. Audience participation is definitely encouraged during the show. Anyone would have a hard time not clapping or enjoying themselves. One of the highlights after the show is that everyone gets the chance to say hi to Louise and the guys and get pictures taken with them. They are the nicest guys you‚ll ever meet. They love their fans and love what they do. I definitely would recommend going to see Liverpool Legends. Anyone who loves the Beatles is going to love seeing Liverpool Legends.

The Liverpool Legends are The Best Show in Branson. I have been following their career from the beginning and can tell you without a doubt they are the best Beatles Tribute Band Ever!! The musicianship that all five guys have is awesome and you really get into the show and feel like they are the real Beatles. Bob does a fantastic job on the keyboard allowing them to play songs that would be impossible without him. "George" is a fabulous guitarist as are "John" and "Paul" and "Ringo" is fantabulous. Louise is always wonderful and I love to hear her stories of the Beatles, you always get an extra piece of the puzzle each time you see the show. I think that the Liverpool Legends should be the Best Show in Branson because their dedication and musicianship makes them by far the best band!!

The Liverpool Legends should be voted as the best show in Branson. This show is the closest thing you can get to the real thing. Louis Harrison did an absolute excellent in hand selecting this group of very talented men to portray the Beatles. They not only resemble the Beatles very much but they've got the music and actions down to a tea. Their musical talent is just unreal and unmatchable by any other show in the area. This is a show I could and will see several times as it is one you could never get enough of. They not only are very musically talented but they have a great sense of humor and are very funny as well. They are very friendly guys with a lot to offer. The theater is a great place for them as all of the staff are very polite and friendly in any way they can. We've seen them several times and will keep seeing them often. They are definatly #1 in entertainment as far as we are concerned. THEY ARE THE BEST IN BRANSON!!!!!!!!!

Can't stop singing praises over this show! We have seen it many times, this season and previously, and absolutely love it! I grew up with the Beatles, and was resistent at first to seeing anyone try to do their music. But from the very first song the very first time, I was hooked! I take everyone I know to that show. I have taken someone new almost every time I see it. I have recommended it to companies who entertain large groups of clients when they come to town, and they always thank me afterwards for such a perfect recommendation. When things get hectic or stressful, or I'm feeling a little down, I go see that show and it takes me out of my world and into a time and place that was happy and carefree for me. The guys are great! They really work to pay respectful tribute to what the Beatles were all about. They are very talented musicians, and none of the music is lip synced or recorded....it's all live! I love that they use vintage equipment to keep the show authentic. The costumes are fantastic, such great replications of the originals, and really help to set the mood as they take a chronological tour through the times of the Beatles' career. It is just a fun show...you can sing along, clap, scream, dance, really participate in the whole experience. It is so great to see young people in their teens and twenties who weren't even born when the Beatles were together, singing and dancing, knowing all the words to the songs and having a wonderful time. And what an absolute thrill to hear George Harrison's sister, Louise, do a Q & A during intermission, and to talk and tell stories about her brother and the rest of the band. What a sweet lady. Now, just writing about it is making me want to go see it again! I can never get enough. Great show all the way around.

This show was amazing! Can't believe how much these guys look, sound, and act like the beatles. The music was awsome, entertaining, and so fun to listen to. This is by far the best show in Branson and probably the best in the country. The Liverpool Legends have gotten me addicted to the beatles after I watched their show. Me and my family can't wait until November when we go back to branson for thanksgiving. We are planning to see the show twice. And again this is such a great show and I so hope it wins!Love it love it love it!!

The Liverpool Legends are our families favorite show in Branson. Our ages range from young to not so young, we will just leave it at that, and this show brings joy to all of us. We haven‚t brought a guest with us that has not been thrilled. The look, the sound, the special effects, and the comedy have all been perfected resulting in one heck of a show!

When the curtains flung open and they were standing before us, I was amazed at how they appeared and sounded like the real Beatles. It was nothing short of electrifying. They created wild audience reactions and encouraged the audience to sing along, dance in the aisles, and just join in the show.

They play all the instruments and do their own vocals, taking pride in the fact that there is absolutely no canned music whatsoever. This is made possible by the addition of Bob, on keyboards, which never fails to enthuse. They have perfected their British accents as well making their comedy even more interesting.

The show includes a wonderful combination of video clips from the Beatles history; George‚s sister Louise Harrison narrates much of it. As my daughter says, " She has a neat voice, tells interesting stories and she loves to hug." During intermission she appears on stage to have an intimate chat with the audience. She explains intriguing information from her life as a Beatles sister, as well as, responding to questions from the audience. After the show she likes to meet and chat with her "Global Beatles Family", as she so charmingly puts it.

"George" performance is sheer perfection, period!!! "John" is a constant ball of energy bouncing about the stage recreating the silly antics once presented by Mr. Lennon himself. "Ringo" is so authentic in look, and style, as well as the sound of the original Beatle, especially during his renditions of "Yellow Submarine" and " A Little Help From My Friends". And I always get a sudden sharp feeling of excitement, as though I am a child, when the Yellow Submarine makes its way across the stage amid the burst of bubbles in the air. It took us a while to get used to the new "Paul" but he has improved more everytime we have seen the show this year. He does an especially great interpretation of "Hey Jude".

The songs are performed in chronological order and span from the early years through the Sgt Pepper period and on to the Abby Road period. I love every single song as it is presented and sing along -- I am riveted! One of the climaxes of the show is their performance of "Day in a Life". The real Beatles may have not performed the Sgt Peppers music on stage. However, if they had it would surely have been much like this excellent visual and musical interpretation of the song. Excellent job by the Audio/Video/ crew and Lighting Director, as well.

Liverpool Legends help everyone escape the real world for a couple of hours. I recommend that everyone see this show! Or should I say interact with this show? The audience is able to join in and have a ball! The Liverpool Legends are our groovy, love and peace loving, heroes. It is apparent that these guys truly enjoy and appreciate meeting and greeting their fans. There is absolutely no fan fatigue showing from these amiable down-to-earth guys. They don‚t go home until every autograph is signed and every hand that wants a shake gets one!

My daughters and I come to Branson often. The first time we went to see Liverpool Legends, we did so out of boredom. We were waiting to see a show that evening and didn't have anything to do until time to get ready. So, we ended up at the Liverpool Legends show. It took a lot of talking to get the girls to go, but I them into it. I NEVER imagined that the show would be so good. We sat way in the back, and I was just amazed at the show. Not only did I have fun! But I enjoyed the music that reminded me so much of my teenage years. I just fell in love with the group.

Songs that I had forgotten about competely, and all the sudden it was like I was sitting in my old room at home, listening to my records. What wonderful memories that gave me.

My girls and I love this show so much that it is hard to tell when we will show up in Branson, JUST to see the Livrpool Legends. We never attend any other show.

When I was first saw the Liverpool Legends perform it was only by accident. They were performing a free concert at the Branson Landing. My friends and I just happened to be shopping that day and decided to take a listen. We were definately impressed with what we saw and heard.

Now, I can't say that I have always been a die-hard Beatles fan. In fact my mom doesn't like them at all so it left me not really caring for them. The LL have helped me grow a new appreciation for the Beatles. And I believe a tribute band should do just that. It should help a younger generation better appreciate bands from an era they missed. And I should say I'm sad I missed the real Beatlemania.

In closing I'd like to state that I'm a music major and I recommend Liverpool Legends to all I know going to Branson. It's a show I've seen 20+ times since that day at the landing. It's a great time and that's what Branson is all about!

My family and I have been coming to Branson every year for several years and have seen many shows. Liverpool Legends was the greatest show I've seen yet! For a dedicated Beatles fanatic like me, it was such a treat to see a tribute band with such an enormous amount of talent. The boys were great, and we had a great time! They put on such a great show, and I'm so happy that they are able to share their talent with people like me! During intermission, Louise Harrison answers questions from the audience and tells stories, and that was definitely an incredible experience for me to be there listening to her speak of her brother. I loved being able to meet the guys after the show to chat and take pictures. They were the greatest, talking to all of their audience members like we were their very own guests. The guys are all super sweet people, and again, extremely talented! My family and I are going back to Branson in October and can't wait to see Liverpool Legends again. They are a must-see show, for Beatles fanatics and casual listeners alike! What a great experience!

Our family of three all agreed The Liverpool Legends is the best show in Branson that we have seen. I would have to say The Haygoods and Rankin Brothers would be a close second. We first saw the Liverpool Legends in 2008 and have seen them about 3 times since. The music is great and the show is entertaining enough to keep our 6 year old involved and interested. She is now a Beatles fan due to seeing this show. The theater is also very comfortable and clean. We also like the gift shop. It is a nice change of pace to see a show like this in a great vacation town like Branson.

To start parking was quite convenient. We were seated in the second row and was quite excited to be able to go right up next to the stage. The band was excellent, felt like I was really at a Beatles' concert. All four had each Beatle's essence down to an exact likeness. My husband even enjoyed the show and he is a very hard sell. Two of my favorites was Yesterday and Yellow Submarine great job, but I loved it all, would love to go again. It was especially nice to meet George's sister Louise and to be able to get autographs after the show. I highly recommend this show to all who come to Branson.

My husband and I saw Liverpool Legends at the Starlite Theater in Branson, last Thursday. We cannot believe how much we enjoyed the show. We've never enjoyed a Beatle Tribute Band more. The performers were AMAZINGLY AUTHENTIC and EXTREMELY TALENTED!

The lighting, sound, technical supports and professional talent was AWESOME!

Everything about the show was PERFECT!

We loved the film clips between the sets of the actually Beatles history. When Louise Harrison announced that Liverpool Legends was the greatest 'Beatles Tribute Band in the World' it was hard to believe. Then we watched the show, now we know she's RIGHT!

Thank you so much for the most memorable visit to Branson, MO.

This show was amazing. If you close your eyes and listen to the music, you would think that the band was actually the Beatles. They put on a remarkable show. Before the band begins to play you are shown clips of the Beatles and their fans. Louise did a marvelous job of putting this together and these members fit so well together.

The part that I found the most interesting was when Louise came to the stage and answered questions that the audience had about the real Beatles. When she didn't know what someone was thinking or thought or know the answer to the question, she did not try to make up a story. She came right out and told you she didn't know. I loved that. She wasn't trying to speculate or lie to the audience just to give an answer that maybe the crowd would have wanted to hear.

If I get back to Branson again, this is one show that I will definitely go see again. I loved it, the special effects, the video, the band the whole show. If anyone ever goes to Branson, this show is a MUST see! The best show in Branson!

The Liverpool Legends gave me and my son an awsome experience. I was born in 1968 and grew up listening to the Beatles. My son is 9 and he loves the Beatles music. Although i was never able to see the Beatles live, I believe the Liverpool Legends are the next best thing. My son new all the songs they played. He even asked me a couple of times "Are any of those guys really the Beatles?" Louise was there and she autographed a one dollar bill for my son. She asked him if the dollar was for her and he said no would you sign it? louise said oh, i thought i was going to make some money tonight. My son though that was funny. My son had the Lads (as Louise calls them) to autograph his ticket stub. They were very friendly as they gave my son their autographs. They all called him Buddy or Little Man (something to that effect)and gave him a high five or rubbed his head. My son asked me why would famous Beatles people want to be so nice to him. The Liverpool Legends were the best thing we took part in at branson while we were there. This is one show you should see even if your not a big Beatles fan. You'll love the excitement and the atmosphere. Go See The LIVERPOOL LEGENDS! Today.....

This show was by far the best I have seen in Branson. The music was fantastic and the crowd was involved from the beginning to the end. The costumes were extraordinary and the performers were unbelievable. These four gentlemen are fabulous in their portrayal of one of the greatest bands of all time. An added bonus was that Loiuse Harrison was there and we got to ask her detailed questions about the Beatles. Although I was not fortunate enough to have actually seen the real Beatles, I feel like I have after seeing the Liverpool Legends. If you are a Beatles fan, this show is a must-see!

Back in 1964, we seniors in high school began every school day at the diner across the dtreet listening to the juke box that seemed to play only Beatles songs--and why not? They opened an expanded musical world that started our day off with the most positive vibes available anywhere. We teens, who loved to sleep till noon, began our early days singing and dancing with the Beatles. Last year, my husband and I, who'd shared this experience and fell in love that very year to Beatles music, moved to Hollister and attended our first Liverpool Legends show. Louise's boys are remarkable musicians and actors recreating a magical time for us. But we've found that all the younger folk we bring to this show feel the magic also. Experiencing this show with this talented group brings people as close to the real thing as we'll ever get. Their shows are consistently terrific. We should know--we go back regularly and take everyone who visits. Many of these folks go again and again as well. We've seen other great shows in Branson, but this one is the best!

Having fallen in love with my wife of 42 years during the spring of 1964 the music of The Beatles has played a significant role in our lives and the lives of our 7 children. Now that Hollister is called home, we have been able to relive and renew this love of the music again with our children and grandchildren. Each time one of them comes to town they know the Liverpool Legends will be one of our nights (although we do not wait for them to show up-we are there at least twice a month). The music is how it should be, accurate and professional. The personalities of "John, Paul, George & Ringo" reflect and honor the best there was. Encouragement is given for a slow dance with your love to "Do You Want To Know A Secret" or a get out of your seats and move to "Twist and Shout" just a couple of examples of the interaction with we the fans. Liverpool Legends brings it all together for the best entertainment in Branson no matter your age.

I saw the real Beatles when I was 16 in Kansas City Mo back in 1964 and this show brought back many memories for me. I couldn't hear the real ones for screaming, but Wow! the Liverpool Legends show was awesome. Having Louise Harrison there to answer questions about the Beatles and her brother, George, was an added bonus. The talent of these guys is beyond belief. They have really achieved the true sound of the Beatles. I would very highly recommend this show to anyone who remembers this classic band. It is truly a trip down memory lane!

These Guys are incredible. I was raised hearing Beatles Music. Even remember seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show being introduced to America (although I was a bit young). I have never seen an impersonation of the Beatles done with such accuracy. Their look, and sound is precision. I encourage anyone from young to old, to see this show. I especially enjoyed the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts band reinactment. Incredible! The crowd went nuts - the young and old!

One of the best shows in Branson! Great music, good staff, wonderful song choice. I have been going to see Liverpool Legends for years. I see them when they come to Iowa, I always see them in Branson. I went to Branson back in March of this year. I saw them and they did a great job like they always do. I am going again to Branson in three weeks and the only show I am wanting to see again for sure is the Liverpool Legends! They are the best. Great show, you really get a good show for what you have to pay to see them. BEST SHOW EVER!
