It’s a Beatles vs. Stones throwdown at Tower Theatre
The debate over the relative
greatness of the Beatles and
the Rolling Stones has been
going on ever since they first
crossed paths on the charts 54
years ago. The argument at the
time, and one that still persists,
was that the Beatles were a
pop group and the Stones were
a rock band: the boys next
door vs. the bad boys of rock.
So who9s better? These two
legendary bands will engage
in an on-stage, throwdown 4
a musical showdown if you
will 4 on Tuesday, February
18 at the Tower Theatre cour-
tesy of tribute bands Abbey
Road and Satisfaction 4 The
International Rolling Stones
Show. The show has played
to capacity audiences at the
Tower Theatre in each of the
last three years.
Taking the side of the Fab
Four is Abbey Road, one of
the country9s top Beatles trib-
ute bands. With brilliant musi-
cianship and authentic cos-
tumes and gear, Abbey Road
plays beloved songs spanning
the Beatles9 career. They face
off against renowned Stones
tribute band Satisfaction - The
International Rolling Stones
Show, who offer a faithful
rendition of the music and
style of Mick Jagger, Keith
Richards and the bad boys of
the British Invasion.
Where did the idea for the
show come from?
<Music fans never had a
chance to see the Beatles and
the Rolling Stones perform on
the same marquee,= said Chris
LeGrand, who plays Mick
Jagger in the show.
<Now, music aficionados
can watch this debate play out
on stage.=
The Bend show is part of
a 125-stop tour of the U.S.,
Australia and Canada and has
been touring since 2011. The
show also performs long-term
residencies for a number of the
Harrah9s Casino properties.
The production includes some
of the more popular songs
from the two rock pioneers
and covers the scope of their
musical careers, although the
set list for Satisfaction usually
includes Rolling Stones songs
up to the 1980s.
<They certainly have more
pop songs but we9re a really
great live show. The fans are
in for an incredible night of
music!= said LeGrand.
During the two-hour show,
the bands perform three sets
each, trading places in quick
set changes and ending the
night with an all-out encore
involving both bands. The
band members have their
outfits custom-made, since
avid fans know exactly what
the Beatles and Stones wore
onstage during different
time periods in their careers.
There9s a lot of good-natured
jabbing between the bands as
well.
<Without Beatlemania, the
Stones might still be a cover
BEND (AP) 4 The
Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs has submitted a plan
to the federal government to
administer hemp production
on its lands.
The Bulletin reported that
if the U.S. Department of
Agriculture approves the plan,
hemp jobs could fill employ-
ment gaps left by the closure
of tribal entities.
Warm Springs is one of
11 tribes listed on the USDA
website with a hemp plan
under review.
About 150 Warm Springs
workers lost jobs with the clo-
sure of the Kah-Nee-Ta resort
a year ago, which followed
the 2016 closure of a reserva-
tion-owned timber mill where
85 jobs were lost.
