Beatles Night with "Get Back"

Get Back—that’s Uli Endress (bass/vocals), Bernd Hofmeister (guitar/vocals), Uli Rohde (guitar/vocals), and Bruno Sindermann (drums/vocals),and Alfred Bormann (keyboard)—all of whom have been performing on stage for decades in a wide variety of projects. Rather than trying to recapture their youth through their tributes to the Beatles’ songs, they simply want to have fun reminiscing about the ’60s. They do this partly unplugged, interspersing stories and anecdotes from the Beatles’ lives. They evoke an era that was not only shaped by this unique band but is defined by the Beatles themselves. They bring to mind the music they grew up with—the music their grandmothers once dismissed as “jungle music”—and the Bravo magazine cutouts of the Beatles they hung in their bedrooms, back when some were still wondering, “Is that real hair or a wig?” “Get Back”—the audience recalls a few lines from songs they used to whisper to their sweethearts back then, and, smiling mischievously, holds a glass of wine or prosecco as “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” plays.
