Last night, the Poreč waterfront was packed with people dancing to the legendary hits of the Beatles. The Beatles Real Tribute Band performed at the Poreč Open Air festival and were joined on stage by a girl from the audience named Melody, who played with the band as an unofficial fifth member.
This throwback to the 1960s, when rock was still young and the very sight of the four Liverpudlian lads made the crowd scream and faint, attracted the denizens of Poreč and visitors of all ages. Their timeless hits have always struck a chord with the audience and always will, regardless of their age or taste in music. This was evidenced last night by the crowd in Poreč, who were singing the entire time from the opener Please Please Me to the closing Hey Jude. Imagine and Let It Be had whipped the atmosphere into a frenzy. The audience was singing so loud at some points that they drowned out the band. Cigarette lighters and cell phones were on display and the atmosphere was truly electrifying, with the red moon that was in full view last night also adding to the romantic ambience.
The fact that the Beatles still have a devoted and loyal fanbase that are left stirred at every show was given credence by two 20-year-old girls from the front row who were in tears throughout the concert: “We love the Beatles so much that we just can’t control our emotions when we listen to their music!“
