What are tribute bands?

Tribute bands are acts that recreate the music, and often the look and staging, of a famous artist or band. Examples include the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, and Pink Floyd. They are a popular and cheap way to hear classic songs live.

Are tribute shows cheaper than the real thing?
