What a delightful show this was! SCOTT FREIMAN talks about his BEATLES series "DECONSTRUCTING THE BEATLES," which he hosts and produces. We discuss the history of this series, which tells you the stories behind the Beatles' songs, how the songs were developed, the order in which the songs were recorded, and technically how the songs were tracked and mixed, using advanced technology of today isolating the different instrumentation in all their songs. In this show, he demonstates how the song "Come Together" was recorded in detail!
Scott will be doing a show "DECONSTRUCTING RUBBER SOUL" at the SCHUBERT THEATER, NEW HAVEN, CT on Nov. 20 at 7pm. All the songs from RUBBER are covered, along with the story how the BEATLES recorded the album extremely quickly in record time for the Christmas market, 1965!
Learn how this incredible series started, the research and the challenges Scott faces in trying to put together the most accurate presentation of the Beatles recordings, as well as the legal situation in using the BEATLES music for live shows and DVDs.
