"The Fab Faux is a musical tribute band performing the works of The Beatles (whose members were often known as the "Fab Four"). The group was founded by Will Lee, bassist for Late Show with David Letterman, and features Jimmy Vivino, bandleader for Conan. Other members include Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, and Jack Petruzzelli."- Wikipedia - เพลง
In the Netherlands we’ve got the band the Analogues, they also try to recreate Beatles music live as original as possible.
They are without a doubt the best in the world.
I'm in the U. S. I love the Analogues. They do it right!
These guys are good but the Analogues are the absolute best. Every note perfect.
@@bilyg5689 Yes.
I find that the Analogues are a little stiff....yes they do every note, you get the sense that it is a job. This cover band seems alive...even ending PW on a whim and it worked... because even if they want to do justice the classics, it must get boring playing the same every show.
They aren't pretending to be The Beatles. They are playing The Beatles music without imitating them. That is different and good. Of course no one can ever compare to The Beatles.
Absolutely right. There should be more of this. Don't imitate, just do your best job with the music that suits your style.
I Just Love that Rif on Bird. Just Love it.
They're one of the best Beatles cover bands out there, if not THE best. No wigs or suits or moves, just the music. Rather than playing an impression of the Beatles, they play the songs. Great.
Sounds great!!!
That drummer is really good!
O.M.G were the Beatles the greatest or what? Coming from someone who watched them on a small black and white T.V. back in Feb 64.
Ditto!
When you try to play Beatles numbers it's then you realise how complex they are.
When I began to learn to play Guitar, I told myself to begin with something easy... I picked up "Yesterday". It was the Schock of my Life... ;) Many years later, when I WAS able to play Guitar, I choosed another "easy" Beatles Song: "I`m the Walrus". The SECOND Shock of my Life... :) I love the Beatles.
the mystery is not about the complexity. its about the magic. not everyone can access that. if they could, the beatles WOULD HAVE formed other groups and become managers.
It's hard for even a good guitarist to play some of George's complex chords where you have to stretch your fingers 5 frets on he bottom 5 STRINGS and be able to note the low E with your nose. Lol
Old guys can still get it done!
Just realized they are using the same model guitars used on the original recordings. Goes a long way to sounding so accurate. Well done.
The lighting director on this gig knows what he's doing.
I have never heard a tambourine put to better use than it is here on "Paperback Writer."
They always killed these songs. I saw them at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, RI and they absolutely did the best cover of "Oh, Darling." The singer was incredible. He had a great night and did it superbly.
I fell in love with these songs all over again. That's the best compliment I can give you. Thanks.
Will Lee Genius!!!...
Good musicianship. The drummer has the best singing voice of them all. Find the Letterman appearance of I Am The Walrus. Stunning.
One of my favorite jams from Revolver.. just missing the tambourine.
Wow. Tight.
They're really rockin' in Boston, in Pittsburg PA. Deep in the heart of Texas. And round the Frisco bay. All over St. Louis. And down in New Orleans...
3 Words.ROCK-N-ROLL
Best Beatle cover band out there. Note perfect all the time.
Close. But the Analogues are the best hands down.
Check these guys out. th-cam.com/video/JPqX7okwJ7g/w-d-xo.html
the guy laughing in the first few moments is my dad! I loved this concert so much towards the end of the concert me and my sister also were on stage for hey Jude
Never knew Will Lee sang so well. Impressive! Looking forward to seeing them this April at the Michigan Theater.

REO Brothers from the Philippines
That guitarist with the hat is awesome!
He is Jimmy Vivino
Damn! I live near the Birchmere. How did I miss this show?? Phenomenal job!
I like this MUCH better than bands that imitate The Beatles. That rarely works for the real fans. This much better respects the original music.
Don't think so. The Beatles are a vocal group. These vocals hurt.
FAB
This was such a good concert!
Merci
Far and away the best Beatles tribute band.
I beg to differ. Although very good
Try giving a listen to the ANALOUGES
They are a band from the Netherlands so everything is in a second language. They performed Sgt Pepper in it's entirety on the 50th anniversary
It is awsome
Will Lee rocks. Someone can yell out, "You suck!" All he needs say is, "My resume. Yours?"
Bass player is doing Macca proud.
Wow,these guys r great
Big fun you guys! Love the Ric bass.
great tribute!
Yea the Fab Faux
Remember that Will once had to since "Christmas" over and over again at the very top of his range as he and his four-man band managed to recreate The Wall of Sound, at least from the moment Darlene opened her gob . Here they manage (with a lot more advanced technology) to create something The Beatles struggled to perform live. But, in the end, you have to be able to play and sing this stuff or you don't pass first base. I'm in awe.
You can't deny that these guys are good, but you gotta listen to a group, not well known from Brazil called Black Bird. The live show will blow you away.
great
The blond musician down right reminds me of Phil Leah.
Great solo at the end
Beautiful guitar and bass work on both songs!
Has anybody tried listening to the analogues
I remember when Will put this group together and asked Jimmy V. to be in it, and Jimmy said "Oh no not a another wig band" Their far from it. "It's all about the music" the best Beatles tribute band in the world......... Can't be argued sorry!
Ohh God how wonderful, like going to see the Boston Symphony perform Mozart or something..!! You don't a lot of chances in this life now to hear the Beatles music brought to life, this is wonderful. The music is so freakin fabulous. And these guys expertly bring it to life with reverence and love, it's so obvious. So wonderful that it's no tribute band in the sense that they try to look like them or any of that nonsense. This is sheer love of the greatest rock compositions in history. Period. Okay that said, some beefs or comments: this shit ain't easy to sing and so I'm impressed that they have as little pitchiness as they do, especially live when the instruments are so damn loud. The guy that sings lead on Bird Can Sing, though, that was rough, folks yikes...sorry just being honest. Doesn't seem to lie in a comfortable place for his voice, maybe a bandmate might help out or how about double it and have Will or someone sing it with him in unison? Just an idea. Now I went to see them at Calvin Theatre in Northampton Mass and never understood why exactly but the voices, were way too low in the mix and what was the great magic of Beatles music? Their singing-magnificent. !! So that was very disappointing, I even got to where I went to plead with soundman, but gave up... Please please emphasize the vocals over all else. Your intrumental playing is dynamite, but just dial it back volume wise. There, said my piece. Keep bringing the good stuff, gents
Heisenburg killed that solo !
Did you see? Band leader popped the other player...cant hear me ... I feel the pain.
Yes, they are TiGHT...but what I really want to hear is them a few years from now if they go onward, can you imagine the influence of their years in this tribute??? Kind of like studying with rembrant and then making your own art.
Is there anyone that Will Lee hasn't played with?
is that a sexual reference?
+Riley White Good one
uh....the Beatles?
Lynn Turman you the man!
Lynn Turman his bio says he's played with all but Paul
Alright, alright, I know I've already talked enough shit on this comment section, but one thing, do yourselves a favor and watch and listen to them play the entire Abbey Road album - it's the best thing I've ever heard, sheer love and reverence for the greatest rock compositions in history. Period. The good thing is that being in a studio the volume of the instruments vis a vis the vocals is controlled and well, you gotta hear it..>!!
You can't fault this lot for enthusiasm. The lead guitarist is hot though.
Better than some, but have you heard 1964 The Tribute do this? In person?
Fab Four are the Standard. 64 plays a step lower.
They sing it like a Joe Walsh song!
Don’t understand why John hated the song
Chéri , descends les poubelles en partant et n'oublie pas le pain ce soir , bises
I went to their last show at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton, Mass with high expectations; sadly I left early totally bummed out because the instruments terribly overwhelmed the vocals. Sorry, but these magnificent songs are meant to have the vocals paramount, not under the mix; I wanted to throttle the soundmen, but my wife's ears were hurting so badly that we just left and man, I had been counting the days. I guess I was hoping to hear that wonderful clarity ad devotion evident in those live in studio recordings of Abbey Road. I still wish I could these wonderful songs performed someday with someone at the sound board who understands what
the Beatles were all about, I feel this band gets it, but they can't be doing sound at the same time
I agree. These guys forget that the Beatles are a vocal group and their vocals are the weakest link!
Tom Diab Well, true, they certainly play better than they sing, but their singing is passable and damn efficient, it's that the mix was bad. You're so right, the Beatles had such fabulous vocals. Did you ever hear these guys in those videos of them in a recording studio doing a complete album (you never give me your money...) ? It's terrific cuz the vocals dominate the mix
Peter Putnam which was why I went to their show at the Calvin, what a bummer
This is fun, but I've been playing for about 50 years and I've internalized these songs to the point that I don't really enjoy them that much anymore. I know it's a failing in me, not the music. sad, really.
Is that David Letterman's bass player?
yes, Will Lee.
twinsmm1 Also Jimmy Vivino on guitar from Conan O' Brian....
Ehhh, not too shabby...
1964 tribute is alot far better
I think their drummer should have sang And Your Bird Can Sing. He has a better Lennon voice.
guys do your own songs least you not trying to imitate! thanks for that!
The bald guy sounds nothing like Lennon
Does the Fab Faux even TRY to sound like the Beatles or just cover the songs?. Cause man not even the arragements or harmonies are close. Mon Will you are a kick ass bassist , just taking it easy.?
Geez.
Nice try
Paperback writer vocals are wrong.
Tom Diab No, you are.
Tom Diab nothing wrong dude
No, Tom, I think if you really listen closely and did your own transcription you'd see that what they do here is very much on the money. That's freakin Will Lee brother, you think he's just gonna fudge it?
It's very good, but the singer isn't
