The Liverpool Legends

The Liverpool Legends are a Beatles tribute group that tours all over the world. I saw them live tonight, Friday, September 17th, 2021, playing at Eldorado, Illinois. The town was having their annual street festival, known as Town and Country Days, and the theme of it this year was "Here Comes The Sun."

Most people don't know this, but George Harrison was the first Beatle to play in America. In 1963, he came to visit his sister Louise, who lived in nearby Benton, Illinois and she took him to the V.F. W. club in Eldorado to hear a local band play. They were The Four Vests. Someone must have informed them that an audience member was a musician from England, so the band and George got together and they all knew how to play six songs between the five, so George sat in with them. It went over so well, they played the six songs over again. So, the local historical society finally got around to dedicating a plaque to hang in the V.F.W. in honor of the event.

The guys were the best Beatles tribute band I've ever heard! They were note perfect. Below, you can see a previous picture I took of the V.F.W. club where George played that night back in 1963. I always thought it was cool because I've played on that very same stage several times with my bands.
