All the music and vocals are performed totally live! RAIN covers the Fab Four from the earliest beginnings through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience, including a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s that lights up video screens and live cameras that zoom in for close-ups.
