Glad you had a good time.
I saw a Beatle cover band at Tahoe a number of years ago.  They were good.  I especially liked hearing live the instrumentation (same guitars, amps, drums, that the beatles used).  From an engineer's perspective, it was fun to see how those sounded live.  The Beatles really knew how to arrange their parts for a quartet.  
Loved it.

Hofner, White Rick, Fender Jazz and on Bungalo Bill a Fender 6 String bazz.
 
He plays thru a Super Beatle Amp.
 
The guitarists mostly use Fender Band Master amps I think (I was 10 rows from the stage, but just far enough to not quite make out if the were BandMasters or Bassmans).
 
Guitars were nearly everything under the sun, Teles, LPs, Epi's, ES335, Danelectro, Martin acoustics (6 and 12 string). With the help of roadies they would change guitars mid song to "get it right".
 
Two sets of drums. One for early stuff and one for later stuff.
 
Three keyboards (two synths and one "piano").
 
Tangerine Dream strings (Cello and Violin). Hogshead Horns (four players of saxes, flutes, trumpets and coronet).
 
Small footnote on the horn players. The wife of the couple we wend with dated one of the horn players 30 years ago.
 
Last but not least. Dahni Harrison came out to play and sing Savoy Truffle in the first set.

Nice.  Didn't I see that photo of you crossing Abbey Road--dressed as Wonder Woman?

You could have stopped at a doughnut shop and got some Bear Claws.  Do they have Bear Claws in the U.K.?

We don't have many bears, with or without claws.
