Sam Leach, the original promoter of the Beatles in Liverpool, England, said succinctly: "American English is the best Beatles show on the planet! They are the Beatles incarnate!"
And Denny Laine of Wings exclaimed: "They're incredible! It's like virtual reality. By the end of the show, I actually felt sad, feeling the breakup of the Beatles all over again."
