Although, if these things bother you, they have similar lefty/righty issues, and “Paul” sings some of John’s songs and vice versa. I’ve seen them more than a few times back when I lived in Dallas and they put on a really fun show. ---

A straight cover is all well and good, but these lads really pull it off. In a most hilarious and creative way. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3WfoccRna6I/hqdefault.jpg "Stairway To Heaven - The Beatnix") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WfoccRna6I) The little “George dance” at about .44 is perfect. ---

They are _fantastic_. Saw 'em at the same place I saw Robert Thompson and Buddy Guy. ---

What I like best about the Fab Faux is that they’re treating the Beatles like classical music. Something to be performed, as well as possible, with period instruments if possible, but something to be performed, not just covered. Also, that yellow tele. The Beatles had a tele? ---

Yep - George famously played a limited-edition Rosewood Tele during the Abbey Road sessions…including the [roof concert](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT6325bmcsQ)… ---

Oh, riiight. It’s the yellow that makes it seem wrong. ---
