The beat goes on in Ames

Beatles tribute band the Fab Four will perform the entire “Rubber Soul” album at Stephens Auditorium.

While the Beatles were still riding high from the North American tour in 1965, they returned to London and composed most of the songs that landed on their album “Rubber Soul,” which won over fans and critics alike. Its title riffed on the phrase “plastic soul” and was the band’s way of acknowledging its lack of authenticity compared to many of the Motown artists it admired. In 2012, the album ranked fifth on Rolling Stone’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”

Fast-forward: The Beatles tribute band known as the Fab Four returns to Stephens Auditorium in Ames to perform the album in its entirety, along with some of the band’s other hits. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19.
