Originally Posted By vbdad55 I would sorely miss them there--if I get to go in June and they're not there- that would be sad. the last few times the crowds ( and I use that term loosely) to watch them have been abnormally small-- and aside from it being 95 degrees and little shade-- I did wonder why... I always found them an entertaining diversion along with a beer from Rose & Crown

Originally Posted By vbdad55 gotta admit- that sucks-- regardless of how long they've been there. but again- when no one attends it makes these decisions easy for the bean counters-- and the last few years- very very sparse...don't know what people can't spend 20 minutes relaxing a bit-- but it seems to be the way it is now.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>What did the statement say..any word on their last performance??<<< That they had planned this out a while ago, and will be performing in Downtown Orlando, next. I think I saw it on Illuminatingepcot.com, but I can't remember.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper It sucks that the park is losing live entertainment, but I have to admit I was never a fan of the band.
Originally Posted By magic0214 I never enjoyed British Invasion, but the day that Off Kilter leaves I will be bawling!
Originally Posted By vbdad55 I still enjoyed them but to be honest, it was all about nostalgia not expert musicianship. Over the last few years I thought their quality had dropped ( personnel changes ?) -but again it was 20 minutes to reminisce, nothing more.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper ^^^Yea, that was my problem with them. I love the Beatles, but I wasn't even close to being around then. So when I heard a mediocre Beatles cover, I'm not going to stand around and watch.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 more of the audience lately was my age and older - those who grew up with the Beatles so it wasn;t so much about performance. BUT, I understand what you are saying as I have yet to go to a real Beatles cover show- be it Rain ! or Yesterday! or some of the other travelling act- where the one reason you are there is for the music- and not be disappointed. I was there for the real thing- and they simply are a band that I can't accept poor quality covers for when music is the reason I attend. For EPCOT- it was all about a memory..not much more. If they played 5 songs in a set- 2-3 were acceptable quality wise- none great
