Fab Four, redux....
The Community Theatre has a great show this weekend – here’s more from them:
Don’t expect your typical Beatles look-alike tribute act when Abbey Road Live! rocks the Whittier stage. These four lads don’t have mop-top haircuts or play Rickenbacker guitars. Rather, this show is about bringing to life some of the more mature and complex Beatles materials in a raw and spirited fashion, while remaining true to the original recordings.
Abbey Road Live! is made up of all-star musicians from the famous Athens, Georgia music scene that gave the world R.E.M., Widespread Panic and B-52s.
Formed in 2002, initially as a tribute to the monumental “Abbey Road” album, the band has expanded its scope to include more than 100 Beatles tunes from all eras of the Fab Four’s career. And since the Beatles stopped touring in 1966, the Beatles themselves never performed many of these songs live.

One comment...
“more mature and complex Beatles… “?
I like Abby Road because it makes me feel younger and simpler. But then I’m old and complicated. Now I’m laughing, the things we all glean from something. Life has joy even if we see the same things in a different light.
