RAIN: A Tribute to The Beatles Returns to Grand Rapids Devos Performance Hall, March 5- 6, 2010 2 Shows Only!

The award-winning Beatles concert, RAIN: A Tribute To The Beatles, makes its return to Grand Rapids' Devos Performace Hall, 2 shows only, March 5 & 6, 2010.  In a show the Denver Post calls "the next best thing to seeing The Beatles," RAIN boasts a repertoire of nearly 200 Beatlemaniac favorites, ranging from such beloved songs as "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" to classic hits including "Revolution" and "Come Together." 
 
RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience...a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups. 
 
For the four longtime band members - Joey Curatolo (Paul McCartney), Joe Bithorn (George Harrison), Ralph Castelli (Ringo Starr) and Steve Landes (John Lennon), with a little help from their friend Mark Lewis (keyboards, percussion) - the music is first and foremost.  For more than two decades, RAIN has distinguished itself by focusing on details, always being faithful to The Beatles with the ultimate goal of delivering a perfect note-for-note performance.  All the music is performed live, with no pre-recorded tapes or sequences. 
 
"On their feet, with arms raised high above their heads, all in the audience were swaying and singing along in blissed-out, nostalgia-powered unison! 
-- Chicago Sun-Times
 
"The enraptured audience relives the soundtrack of its life!"
-- Chicago Tribune
 
"RAIN nails the full glory of those heavenly vocal harmonies and thrilled an all-ages crowd with note-perfect renditions of songs from the mightiest canon in all of popular music history."                                             
-- Buffalo News   
 
"RAIN creates musical nirvana...makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up!  A     thrilling bit of time-warping nostalgia...Boomer Heaven!"
 -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram 
 
"Uncanny! RAIN are a quartet of fine musicians in their own right...as The Beatles, they triumph!"                                                          
-- The Boston Herald
 
"An adoring Valentine to The Beatles!"          
-- The Washington Post
 
"RAIN is a spectacular extravaganza...did the audience love it?  Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
-- The Philadelphia Inquirer.
 
 "Parents (and grandparents) and kids were on their feet bopping like crazy!"
-- The Courier Post
 
 
Like The Beatles, the onstage members of RAIN are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.
