Best tribute band you've seen?
I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but if they are what's the best professional tribute band/act you've seen live? (The ones you pay to see rather than a pub band although some of those are very good)
Mine would probably be 'Rolling Stoned' at The Mechanics and 'T-Rextacy at 'Colne Muni'

Livewire an AC/DC cover band are good but has to be Rumours Of Fleetwood Mac. Sounded just like the real thing.

Aussie Pink Floyd - a couple of times, once sat out in a field the pouring rain! Superb sound and light show.
Walked out of a Dire Straights tribute band half way through once - they were truly dire...

AC/DO - A fantastic AC/DC Tribute band. Havenn't seen Livewire yet though.
Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
Saw a U2 tribute band once. They were even better than the real thing.

The Smythes at The Ritz in Manchester. As good a chance as you will get of seeing The Smiths. Very good they were!

Another shout for the Australian Pink Floyd show. Isle of Wight Festival 2008. Unbelievable. There is a great concert from the Albert Hall on you tube if you want to see how good they are. Couldnt post link at the moment

Talon, Eagles tribute. Also, Clearwater Creedance Revival who play dates at Barnoldswick Music And Arts Centre.
Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
Not a proper tribute but From the Jam are excellent! Saw Bjorn Again at a festival and they were very good.

Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
Illegal Eagles were excellent.
Last week I saw a Neil Diamond tribute by the name of Fisher Stevens. Pretty good but I've seen the real Neil so not much of a comparison.
Bootleg Beatles who were pretty good
There's an Elvis impersonator doing the rounds called Rob Kingsley, he's brilliant

Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
We get spoiled over here really, but these stand out:
They all play in a small club in Prague around once a months so that agents can see them and they often play 5k plus sized venues. The following would be highly recommended
https://www.facebook.com/Queenie.cz/ - Queen Tribute
https://www.facebook.com/GNRtributeSK - Guns n Roses
https://www.facebook.com/Rolling-Stones ... 067592938/ / http://www.rollingstonesrevival.cz - Rolling Stones (Keith really plays to type often ordering his next beer whole still mid solo
https://www.facebook.com/stonefree.czech.experience/ Jimi Hendrix (its like the buggers come back)
Interesting thing with them, is they've been going so long it was actually illegal at first, however after the Stones played Prague, they were booked to play on Wenceslas square, and didn't look back

Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
There is also a decent looking ACDC tribute, which are great at first, and really look the part, until you realise "Brian Johnson" isnt actually singing, he's just worked out which noises to make to sound like a Geordie. Once you suss it it ruins it

Flash Harry. Northern Ireland Queen tribute. Excellent.
Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
The Ultimate Eagles
This band blew all of us away on a Saturday afternoon at a Butlins 70's weekend a couple of years back. We even bought their CD and listen to it often. I didnt even realise that I liked the Eagles. I would happily travel to see them again. If you get chance to see them I guarantee you would not be disappointed.

Re: Best tribute band you've seen?
It really is my pet hatred, been dragged along to a few over the years ELO Experience, Musical Box, Limehouse Lizzy all uniformly awful. I go to around 40 gigs a year from small venues (Brudenell, Hebden Bridge), medium (02, Apollo) Arena's and outdoors; I'd rather pay through the nose to see the real thing and if they're dead I'll put the albums on
