The Return: A Tribute to the Beatles
The Return, one of the greatest Atlanta Tribute Bands is considered talented enough to perform in front of a national audience, THE RETURN caught the eye of Good Morning America’s weatherman, Tony Perkins, as well as executives for the morning show. Since then, this amazing group of four young musicians has continued to excite crowds all over the country, growing substantially in popularity.
In Georgia, Part of what makes a RETURN show so enthralling is the way in which they have so meticulously recreated the complete Beatle image on stage. The boys feature authentic vintage instruments, haircuts, and custom made clothes and boots. Their unmistakable Liverpool accents and Beatlesque antics truly bring out the charming, charismatic personas of the original four lads we all adore. In being true to the original Fab Four, THE RETURN derives their song list from a specific part of the Beatles catalog, primarily performing material that the Beatles played in live concert settings. This long and wonderful list of songs spans material from the early cover songs they played at Liverpool’s Cavern Club, to Lennon-McCartney numbers performed on the last Beatles tour of America in 1966.
