The Bootleg Beatles are the world's premier Beatles' tribute bands and they'll be making a two-night stop in Taipei. Formed 10 years to the day after Paul McCartney announced the Beatles' split, the Bootleg Beatles have performed over 4,000 concerts throughout the world keeping Beatlemania alive. During their three-decade career, the Bootleg Beatles have toured with Oasis, Elton John and David Bowie, among others and have performed variously for three members of the Fab Four. Dust off those sixties duds and throw on some high-heeled boots and be prepared to be transported back to an era where St. Pepper reigned supreme.
