We'd been interested in seeing the Seattle Symphony for a while and we finally decided to go to a show last Friday. We saw Live & Let Die: A Symphonic Tribute to the Music of Paul McCartney, which had a Beatles cover band along with a partial orchestra. There's actually several Beatles/Wings that have flutes, violins, trumpets, or other instruments in them. The guy playing as Paul was especially good and sounded and looked pretty close to the real thing. Some of the songs included Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Yesterday, Maybe I'm Amazed, When I'm Sixty-Four, Jet, and Band on the Run. It reminded me of the two Paul McCartney concerts I went to and also the time some of my friends and I saw the cover band Me & My Monkey at the Moon in Fort Worth.

Benaroya Hall was a pretty basic symphony hall. The inside was plain and wasn't nearly as fancy as other places I've seen the symphony. Overall it probably wasn't the best value for our money, but it was still fun singing along and hearing the orchestra.
