“Relive hits like ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’ ‘Can’t Buy Me Love,’ ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ and more in this unforgettable concert experience.” 

A separate promotion added, “1964 astonishingly recreates an early ‘60s live Beatles concert, with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles and onstage banter.”

Yet another promotion noted, “Frank Kanino from the group British Export says ‘1964’ is the gospel when it comes to Beatles’ bands.”
