In this multimedia lecture, composer/producer Scott Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with The Beatles during the creation of their seminal 1966 album, Revolver. In many music polls, Revolver is rated the top album of all time. The 1966 album launched a period of studio experimentation that coincided with The Beatles' decision to stop performing live. Memorable songs such as "Eleanor Rigby," "Yellow Submarine," and "Tomorrow Never Knows," pushed popular music to a place it had never gone before. Deconstructing The Beatles' Revolver explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into creating this landmark in music history. In addition to many of the tracks from Revolver, Freiman explores the creation of two other songs recorded during the same period: "Paperback Writer" and "Rain." Mr. Freiman conducts an educational journey into the creative process of The Beatles' performances and recording sessions.
