In Deconstructing The Music LIVE: The Beatles’ Revolver, Scott Freiman, host of the Public Television series Deconstructing the Beatles, celebrates the 60th anniversary of this groundbreaking album. Scott will take you on a track-by-track journey through this Beatles masterpiece, explaining the inspiration for the songs and their evolution in the studio.
In many music polls, Revolver is rated the top album of all time. The 1966 album launched a period of studio experimentation for the Beatles that coincided with the end of their concert performances. With memorable songs, such as “Eleanor Rigby”, “Yellow Submarine”, and “Tomorrow Never Knows”, the Beatles pushed popular music to a place it had never been. Using rare audio and video clips, as well as anecdotes about the creation of the songs, Deconstructing The Music LIVE: The Beatles’ Revolver explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into producing this landmark piece of music history. In addition to many of the tracks from Revolver, Mr. Freiman will also explore the creation of two other songs recorded during the same time period, “Paperback Writer” and “Rain”.
