The band formed in San Francisco in 1973, broke through when Steve Perry arrived for 1978’s Infinity, and put out Escape in 1981, still Last Updated: September 1, 2026 [Tribute Bands Ranked](https://www.protributebands.com/the-top-15-best-beatles-tribute-bands/) ## [The 15 Best Beatles Tribute Bands in 2026](https://www.protributebands.com/the-top-15-best-beatles-tribute-bands/) The Beatles played their last concert at Candlestick Park on August 29, 1966, and nobody alive will hear that band live again.

I’ve spent most of my life on stage, first in a BOSTON tribute act, then in the real BOSTON, and since 2011 running ProTributeBands, so I judge these the way a working musician would.
