Also any reviews on the British Invasion at Epcot

They are a fair Beatles cover band hampered by bad sound equipment. I liked them a lot better when they played non-Beatles songs as well and had a couple of different musicians that really engaged the audience, but they are still a lot of fun. Definitely worth seeing.

Hotel California was great. We saw two sets with them and both were different. Their set ran for 40-45 minutes, 20 minutes longer than we thought it would. The band sounded great and sounded very similar to the Eagles.

Transit Authority was fantastic! We really enjoyed them. Even my wife loved them!!! We don't stay for all three sets very often, but we did for these guys, and we are looking forward to seeing them again at the end of the series.

I was a little bit amazed, Hotel California really sounded like the Eagles! But I am not an Eagles fan (except for football). But I have to say, they really do a good job!

More reports during the series...

What's MO ROCKIN & where is it?

It's kind of an Arabic equivalent to Off Kilter in Morocco.

we'll be there for the ABBA tribute- where is it and what time?

It will take place in the America Gardens Theater opposite the American Adventure pavillion.

Times likely are not set at the moment, but I can tell you that the times for the Hotel California Eagles tribute were at 5:15, 6:45, and 8:15. It's likely that these could be the same times as the ABBA presentation.

The ABBA tribute is July 22 -Aug 6th. Showtimes are the same.
My 6 year old daughter LOVES ABBA, I hope they don't dissapoint.

I can't speak about Transit Authority, but Hotel California was a terrific band.

We went three times, always the final show. Showtime is 8pm, not 8:15, which is the start time for F&W and F&G.

And yes, they played almost 45 minutes.

Where can I see these concerts??? I'd love to see the Aerosmith and Abba ones. THANKS!

 

[DisneyEG]

We saw Transit Authority - Tribute to Chicago
and it was excellent!!! We stayed for two of the sets!
They put on a great show!

Just got back from Epcot, and the Billy Joel tribute band was GREAT! I've been a big fan for years and it was very good. It's a "young" Billy with the big afro hairdo. He does the harmonica contraption for "Piano Man" and everything.
My only negative comment was that "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" had a bit of a slow tempo. The light show and the band were very good.

I have seen Draw The Line play locally a few times and they are awesome - wish I could see them in Epcot!!!
