Tribute bands taking up stainless hits, which everyone knows by heart and can sing at the top of their lungs, fill rooms. For fun, to remember. The French “Tribute Bands” The Rabeats and Goldmen master their subject, their instruments and their voice…
This issue of the magazine “1:15 p.m. on Saturday” (Twitter, #1:15 p.m.), signed Bertrand Jeanneau and Thibault Pomares, focuses on a musical phenomenon called “Tribute Bands”: groups, professionals or amateurs, bring great artists to life by taking up their repertoire. Stage performances celebrating those who have marked the history of music, but also personal stories.
These artists have created an immense lack around them since they left the limelight… The “1:15 p.m.” followed The Rabeats, the French version of the Beatles, and the group Goldmen, which covers the legendary hits of Jean-Jacques Goldman.

When Jean-Jacques Goldman bids farewell to the stage, his fans are like orphans. It is on this nostalgia that the success of Tribute Bands such as the group Goldmen is built today, which offers “100% live, 100% hit concerts, where everyone can sing their favorite tunes”.
The Rabeats, a French group from Amiens, are committed to perpetuating the memory of the Beatles, separated for more than half a century. They perform in concert “playing the greatest titles that the Fab Four have played on stage and composed during their career”.
