British Invasion at Epcot

[The "Pro"]

For anyone who likes the Beatles, you will want to watch / listen to one of these shows at the UK Pavilion. These guys are good. I have seen many of their shows over the years and was never disappointed.

During the past week they had 2 guys filling in for the roles of Paul and Ringo but you would never have known the difference. They were just as good.

The British Invasion is great! I make a point to try and see them and enjoy a pint when I'm in EPCOT.

Here's a link to a site that will tell you what times and what days they are playing. Just click the EPCOT link at the top and then the United Kingdom link on the side bar. A lot of other helpful show times are also listed there.

I agree, they're good. and I've always been a big Beatles fan. But I still think the UK pavilion is too Beatles-centered. Its shops should diversify some more.

Not much of a shopper so no comment on the UK shops. Canada also has a great band Off Kilter, right around the corner from the UK. If you can't see the British Invasion they are worth checking out also.

I've been a huge beatles fan since I was three... and I have to say that in my opinion the British Invasion isn't anything great when they do Beatles covers. They butchered "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" the last time I saw them and that was it. However, when they cover Herman's Hermits, they are almost spot on. The first time I heard them do "Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter" I thought Peter Noone was there.

I also agree that the UK pavillion is to Beatle-centric. Even though I am a huge fan.

And Off Kilter is the best live band Disney has to offer. They're all pretty good, but Off Kilter is just something you have to see.

YIKES the guy that filled in for Paul did not have a strong enough voice to do the part.

We saw them Sunday and I was not pleased with his vocals - it was extremely evident on We Can Work It Out. :lookaroun I didn't realize right when we walked up that it was a different guy but when he opened his mouth my husband and I looked at each other like .

The Ringo replacement was fine - and I know you can't just get anyone in to do Paul's vocals....but the original guy needs to get back to the show!

Don't get me wrong - it is a great performance! I just want my Paul back! :lol:

Yes, couldn't agree with you more! Love Off Kilter!!!

I've always enjoyed them. In May though there were four new guys and they were pretty loose. Didn't know if they were filling in or taking over.

They do Herman's Hermits? I've never heard them do anything but the Fabs.

(my $10 Beatles key chain broke after one month!)
