BRANSON, Mo., May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Two of the world's greatest legends, the Titanic and the Beatles are "All Together Now" for the first time in a one-day only free "Concert at the Bow" celebration of their Liverpool, England roots on Saturday, June 3rd at 2:00 PM.

These two larger-than-life icons' unique Liverpool connection is the theme of the concert. It is the "Home of the Beatles," the Titanic was registered by the White Star Line here and George Harrison's father was a steward on that line for ten years. The afternoon musical tribute will be the first of an ongoing series of special events to be staged at Titanic Branson throughout the year.

Headlining this event is the internationally acclaimed LIVERPOOL LEGENDS, considered to be the world's best Beatles Tribute. This talented group of four has been performing to "sell out" crowds nationwide. Their "right on" resemblances to the original Fab Four and their masterful Beatle's sound-alike stylings make audiences feel like they are watching the real thing!

"Liverpool Legends are the very best four guys to portray The Beatles since the only four guys to play the Beatles were John, Paul, George and Ringo!" says Louise Harrison, sister of the late George Harrison. In 2005 she formed Louise Harrison Entertainment, LTD with the goal of creating a new Beatles Tribute band dedicated to upholding and continuing the positive impact of the Beatles. In a personal letter to Louise, President Clinton wrote: "Liverpool Legends are a wonderful tribute to George's musical legacy!"

Louise Harrison will attend the concert and will be available for interviews throughout the afternoon event.

The Liverpool Legends can be seen, in concert, nightly at Branson's Caravelle Theater at 3446 W. Hwy. 76.
