Deconstructing Rubber Soul

Live presentation with "Beatleologist" Scott Freiman

In October 1965, the Beatles were faced with an impossible taskproduce a new album of original music for a Christmas release. Within one month, the Beatles had emerged with what many consider to be one of their greatest albumsRubber Soul. They even had time to create a double A-side single, “We Can Work It Out” backed by “Day Tripper.” Both sides of the single, as well as the album, hit number one on the charts.

In his special 60th anniversary version of Deconstructing Rubber Soul, composer/producer Scott Freiman walks Beatles fans young and old through the creation of Rubber Soul with rare audio and video from the studio and the stage. Listen as classic tracks like “Norwegian Wood,” “In My Life,” and “Nowhere Man” come to life, and hear the stories behind the songs.

Musicians, non-musicians, Beatles fanatics, and casual listeners will all enjoy Mr. Freiman’s presentation. You will never listen to the Beatles or any other music the same way again!
