The Beatles Show present REVOLVER, in LAUNCESTON.
Having previously tackled the Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road & Let it Be albums in their entirety to sold-out crowds, Tasmania's renowned Beatles Show return with a live performance of Revolver - a carefully curated performance including songs from the aforementioned albums plus lots, lots more.
The Beatles began the Revolver sessions in April of 1966. With little desire to reproduce their new material in concert, recording boundaries were removed and they became very creative, inventing new production techniques along the way. Add to this, 14 artfully crafted songs including; Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine & Tomorrow Never Knows, pop music would be changed forever.
Delivering this authentic 3 hour Beatles experience is a truly great live band featuring; Tom Wolfe, Pete Cornelius, Jethro Pickett, Andrew Sulzburger, Beau Thomas, Joe Weller, and Scott Targett.
March 26, Civic Square, Launceston
Doors open at 2pm, show starts at 3pm
