Beatles vs Stones:The debate between fans of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since the British bands first crossed paths on the charts 53 years ago. The argument at the time, and one that still persists, was that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band. So who’s better? Find out in a musical “showdown,” 8 p.m. Nov. 30, Miller Symphony Hall, Allentown, with tribute bands Abbey Road and Satisfaction: The International Rolling Stones Show. Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the United States’ top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles’ career. Renowned Stones tribute band Satisfaction offers a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion. During the two-hour show, the bands perform three sets each, ending with an encore involving both bands. Tickets: Miller Symphony Hall box office, 23 N. Sixth St., Allentown; allentownsymphony.org; 610-432-6715. Discounts are available for groups, seniors, students, and active military.
