Summer Event
Deconstructing The Music LIVE:
The Beatles' Abbey Road
In Deconstructing The Music LIVE: The Beatles’ Abbey Road, Scott Freiman, host of the Public Television series Deconstructing the Beatles, celebrates the Beatles’ groundbreaking 1969 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.
Abbey Road was the last time that the Beatles recorded together at EMI Studios — soon-to-be-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 continues to be regarded as one of the best albums ever created. The album is filled with classic Beatles songs, such as “Come Together,” “Something,” and “Here Comes the Sun.” Martin told the Beatles to think “symphonically,” and they responded by creating the remarkable side two song suite.
Using rare audio and video clips, as well as anecdotes about the creation of the songs, Deconstructing Abbey Road explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into producing this landmark piece of music history. Join Scott Freiman for this two hour exploration of the creation of Abbey Road.
