TWIST AND SHOUT VISITS THE PANTAGES THEATER - THE SET LIST

The Wife and I headed off to see Twist and Shout, "the definitive Beatles experience," which is a concert of covers of songs by the Beatles. The four principals of the show—Tony Kishman as "Paul," Jim Owen as "John," John Brosnan as "George," and Chris Camilerri as "Ringo"—did a great job channeling the music and spirit of the Beatles. It was a great live show.

An opening video montage of historical Beatles footage was followed by the "Fab Four" coming on stage in their black mod suits and bowl haircuts.

[1] "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
[2] "She Loves You"
[3] "All My Loving"
[4] "Roll Over Beethoven"
[5] "A Hard Day’s Night"
[6] "If I Fell"
[7] "Love Me Do"
[8] "I Should Have Known Better"
[9] "Do You Want To Know a Secret?"
[10] “Help!”

Another video montage of historical Beatles footage allowed the "Fab Four" to take off their suit coats and perform a few slower songs before rocking out again.

[11] "Michelle"
[12] "You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away"
[13] “Here Comes the Sun”
[14] “I’ve Just Seen a Face”
[15] “Eight Days a Week”
[16] “Day Tripper”
[17] “I Saw Her Standing There”

INTERMISSION

The four returned after the intermission with a less focused look. Each one of the Beatles represented an iconic image of the later years—Paul in mod suit, with longer hair (and Tony Kishman looks like Paul McCartney); John in long hair, round eyeglasses, white suit, and boat shoes; George in denim outfit and boots; and Ringo in "relaxed" mod suit and psychedelic tie, with longer hair and droopy mustache.

[18] “I Am the Walrus”
[19] “Something”
[20] “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”
[21] “With a Little Help from My Friends”
[22] “Come Together”
[23] “Get Back”
[24] “Revolution”
[25] “Back in the U.S.S.R.”
[26] “Let It Be”

ENCORE
[27] “Hey Jude”
[28] “Twist and Shout”
