The most infamous rivalry in rock and roll never played out in a public arena until now as Beatles vs. Stones - A Musical Showdown performs at the Duke Energy Center on Tuesday, May 7 at 7:30 pm.

I also haven't stopped talking about it to anyone who will listen and even now when I describe the experience as I am urging family and friends to GO SEE IT, I get goosebumps. I fear that I won't do the experience justice with my mere words but I will do my best.
