Take a nostalgic trip with this multimedia concert, spanning the discography from the catchy British invasion of “I Want To Hold your Hand” all the way up through the experimental and psychedelic era of “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds,” with brilliant musical gems scattered between. Sporting mop tops that later morph into hippie hair and beards, the musicians of Rain put on a mesmerizing, high-quality show. Tickets are $25 to $60 plus Ticketmaster fees.
