thanks again as always....one first class great show for me....bring in any beatles stuff for me.... I have Paul McCartney at the top of my permanent list of the worlds greatest composers....I said that will never change.....well he is still there, but I now feel he cannot be there without John Lennon.....thats how powerful tonights performance at the Sun Coast was. Tim Piper did the John Lennon story....well written...well produced, videos, history, quotes tied nicely together in an A 1 production ! Three guitars and a drummer....somebody said this would never work ? WHAT ? We have become so familiar with theBeatles and their survivors that John Lennons life and lifetime work have been overlooked, at least by me....NO MORE ! Anyway it has been said the Las Vegas market has been flooded with tribute shows and overdone.....NOT FOR ME ! Not when they are historically accurate, informative and well produced like this one. This show done in a chronological history of John Lennon with his songs perfectly inserted to the time in life... and what a time it was....wine, women and song and all the extras with the greatest music ever...MUSIC FOR THE AGES....we got a great earful of it tonight. I learned, I listened, I sang along, I enjoyed. Seems I have been overpowered by the continuing life of Paul McCartney and not the tragic 8 December 1980 death of John Lennon.....that's 28 years now without this creative genius on the earth....on this tragic day in 1980 I was an on air sportscaster in Rapid City, South Dakota and even then on top of 548 days in Viet Nam I was shocked that we live in such a world....I cried then and I cry now for the loss of such a world class artist.....thanks for your short life John and thanks to Tim Piper for telling his story ! 97 A+ Positively prejudiced from the start and they did not let me down. "Not only does Tim Piper look identical to John Lennon, but his mannerisms, voice and ways are very similar. The way he relates to the audience, when he is singing or talking gives one a true sense of the sincerity, peace, humor and love that Lennon wished to share with others. Whether singing or playing the guitar, Piper's talent shined and the audience was in aah of what a true talent he is. The pace flowed and kept me wanting more. Each song had a meaning and a melody to either dance or cry to. Crying, I did. Do not miss this show, it is a blessing to be in room with such a true genius.

"A MUST SEE . . . even for those too young to remember the Beatles" - MUSIC CONNECTION, LOS ANGELES A unique, exciting, "high volume," nostalgic experience. I loved every rockin’ moment! Piper's uncanny likeness to Lennon in looks, voice, humor and gestures, is surreal and transfixes his audience throughout. No doubt Lennon would have highly approved!" - TOLUCAN TIMES Piper’s performance is not a mere impersonation of the fallen rock star. With each song, Piper brings out the emotions as Lennon’s thoughts drift through the stages of his turbulent life. Tim Piper, as John Lennon, masterfully performs a set of Beatle favorites" - NOHO-LA
