One of our most popular guests, Beatles expert Scott Freiman, returns with a BRAND NEW live multimedia presentation! This time he’s exploring Abbey Road. The Beatles’ masterpiece is filled with classic songs, such as “Come Together,” “Something,” and “Here Comes the Sun.” George Martin told the Beatles to think “symphonically,” and they responded by creating the remarkable side-two song suite. Abbey Road was the last time that the Beatles recorded together at EMI Studios—christened Abbey Road Studios after the album’s release. Despite the bittersweet atmosphere that surrounded the recording sessions, The Beatles’ outstanding songs and performances, together with George Martin’s orchestrations, produced an album that is still regarded as one of the best ever created. In Deconstructing Abbey Road, Beatleologist Scott Freiman has created one of his most in-depth “deconstructions”. Freiman takes the audience on a track-by-track journey, explaining the inspiration for the songs and their evolution in the studio.
