HELP! Tribute band to The Beatles


It's a saturday morning... well afternoon and my cousin wakes me up with a phone call, telling me that the biggest mexican Tribute Band is going to play at Parque Chamizal for an event called "Arte en el Parque" (yes, that's Art in the Park, lol), and it had been a while since I listened to Beatles music, and naturally I had to pick her up (which is why she called me) and four other cousins that were just waiting for me to approve so they could go and "babysit" them cause they're all like 10 years old.

We got there around 4pm, and just started walking and buying stuff, they even sold houses there, I don't know why, but I didn't care, but yeah, my cousin Claudia (the one that woke me up, and the one in the picture) bought a alcohol-free Piña Colada, and she had recently had a surgery, and she can't eat and drink a lot of things, but she said it was ok to drink the Piña Colada, so we let her. But like half an hour later she sat down and started telling us how she didn't feel good, but she just needed to rest a bit. After a while she got up and started walking towards me like a zombie or something, and telling me "take me home, I'm not feeling ok" and then she grabbed on to me cause she was about to fall, and I was just looking everywhere for help, untill this man went to get the paramedics that were there, but nothing major happened, she just neede to sit down and get some air, and drink some water, but after that I had to take her home, and then come back to see the main show.

When I got a band was playing and I slefishly kept thinking "damn, I missed the beggining", and took me like 20 minutes to find the rest of my cousins and a friend I had ran into and tagged along. They played for like 45 minutes more and I said "What??? That's it???? It's just 8 o clock!!!!!" untill I heard the singer say, "now stick around for the main show, they're just going to prepare and they'll come out", man, was I happy it was not over, cause they didn't play Let It Be, or Hey Jude or Yesterday (songs they simply have to play). The cool thing about the main band is that they dressed like The Beatles, and they were playing by periods of The Beatles records, they played for like an hour and a half, and of course they closed with Help, giving credit to their name.
