REVIEWS
Hey Fred: The whole group listened to the CD and we enjoyed it a lot. You guys do a great job of capturing the sound. I thought the singing was really good and well, you nailed it. Thanks again for your help at Sturgis and good luck to all of you in the future...Peter Rivera, Drummer/Lead Vocalist for Rare Earth. (Now playing with The Classic Rock All Stars)
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" sounds good. "A Hard Day's Night," "She Loves You" — it all sounds good. So good that, at times, you catch yourself thinking that you're listening to the Beatles.
I listened to the CD. It was great. The
second time around, I listened Mike Morelli, East Hartford, CT
Your live performance was astounding - the craftsmanship and attention to detail was just unreal. I probably know every note of each of the 215 released songs, but I've never seen it done live before, and it was fascinating to see and hear. Every half-beat delay in a lyric, each slight variation in a chorus between repetitions was obviously noticed and so faithfully reproduced it paid the ultimate respect to the material and the musicianship. You guys redefine the term "tribute band". Roger Bond, PortlandComputerGuys.com
I was recently at the Buffalo Chip Campground during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and I saw the best band ever!!!!! It was the Abbey Road Band!!!! They put on the best show I've seen in years!!! And I have been coming here and watching bands for the last 7 years!!!!!!!! I have seen ZZ Top, the Beach Boys, Reo Speedwagon, Kid Rock, Johnny Lang, and many others, but none had the presence that the Abbey Road Band has!!! Emmett Foster Helena, Montana
British Invasion Hits Dickinson, North Dakota Young and old took a trip back to the sixties when Rapid City’s own Abbey Road Band performed at the Women’s Expo in Dickinson, North Dakota. The “lads” were a huge hit to say the least. Abbey Road is clearly not your average cover band. The music was right on with instrumentation and vocals so tight you’d swear you were sitting in Ed Sullivan’s studio. These guys are polished professionals and did a wonderful job of interacting with the crowd. They’re not only gifted musicians, they were highly entertaining and the audience embraced them whole heartedly. They were personable, funny and genuinely nice guys. And, they stuck around to visit with the fans after the show. Abbey Road’s love and enthusiasm for their craft really shows. They had fun and so did we. They played hit after hit ending with a standing ovation and the audience pleading for more. If you are looking for talent, do yourself a favor take a trip down Abbey Road.

In July of 2006, the six thousand seat Black Hills Passion Play Amphitheatre was the location of a dynamic concert given by the Abbey Road Band. We had often heard of the band from other professional friends and business acquaintances, but nothing could have prepared us for the experience of hearing them live in concert. With a unique sound that equals that of the legendary Beatles and an energy that ignites the audience, the Abbey Road Band promptly captures the audience and doesn't let go until the final encore. With classic Beatles music that is fun for the whole family, this band is highly recommended by our theatre company. Their professionalism on stage is equally matched by their personalities off stage, which made for a very harmonious relationship with us as their hosts. We look forward to having them perform again in our theatre and can highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun evening of great entertainment. The Management of the Black Hills Passion Play
Casinos are in the business of providing fun
and entertainment to their customers. The As Events Coordinator at Tin Lizzie, it is my responsibility to determine which category of music our patrons desire and provide crowd-pleasing entertainment. Undoubtedly, The Beatles Tribute Show with the Abbey Road Band is one of our most popular musical promotions. We often have guests calling to verify appearance dates so that they may schedule their trip to Deadwood around the band’s performances. Witness one show by the Abbey Road Band and you will discover the reason for their popularity! Their upbeat renditions of the popular 60’s band is an exciting recollection of the most sensational era of music ever known. Most fascinating is to watch as customers ranging from 20-60 years of age, tap, sing and even dance to the nostalgic tunes, some recalling those moments in their lives when the song was a hit, others coming to realize the incitement behind ‘Beatlemania’. As rewarding as the band’s popularity with our guests is the professionalism with which they conduct their business. They diligently adhere to contracts and have yielded excellent performances for the past 3 years at Tin Lizzie. I am confident in knowing that when the Abbey Road Band is on the venue, the expectations of our patrons and myself are being surpassed! Sincerely, John Bonnett Event Coordinator Tin Lizzies Casino Deadwood SD
As program director of KOOL 92, KKLS, our association with The Abbey Road band has been fantastic. Not only does the group put on a great show, they sound just like the originals. The Abby Road Band is professional, hard working and always at the top of their game. You can count on the Abbey Road Band to always provide audiences with a fun and accurate Beatles tribute show, every time. I have to thank them for boosting our appeal, and I would never hesitate to bring the band into the studio for interviews. Thanks to a great group of talented musicians, and Beatles music lovers... to The Abbey Road Band, you are the best!
Scott McCormick Program Director KKLS 920 AM Rapid City SD
