I can second the recommendation here - while Best himself does very
little in the band (when I saw them a couple of years ago, there were
two drummers on stage but only one audible through the PA, draw your
own conclusions as to what that means...) they do put on an excellent
show, and sound like the recordings of Hamburg-era Beatles without
being a soundalike band, if you see what I mean...
