The White Album Concert Double CD announced (07/07/2014)
On the eve of the much-anticipated White Album national Concert tour kicking off in Brisbane on Sunday 13 July, a double album recording of the legendary 2009 original concert series is being released. Recorded live at Sydney’s State Theatre, this doublealbum features 30 of the Beatles' most breathtaking songs performed live by Chris Cheney, Phil Jamieson, Josh Pyke and Tim Rogers with a 17-piece rock orchestra.
The White Album Concert CD is only available online and at all The White AlbumConcerts across Australia. It’s for anyone who can’t get a ticket to one of the shows – sold out in Adelaide, Canberra, Wollongong, limited tickets available in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane –or wants to relive this extraordinary concert experience. Chris Cheney, Phil Jamieson, Josh Pyke and Tim Rogers. |
They said it wasn't possible. Not even the Beatles, after all, attempted to perform their classic self-titled double album live on stage. But in the winter of 2009, to celebrate its 40th anniversary, four of our greatest rock'n'roll showmen left a trail of standing ovations and ecstatic reviews when The White Album Concert sold out 11 theatres in five cities across Australia. And in 2014 they are setting off again to perform at 13 theatres across the country.
The Beatles' most challenging and stylistically varied collection of songs has been taken apart and reassembled track by track by four singers at the peak of their powers — Tim Rogers, Josh Pyke, Chris Cheney and Phil Jamieson.
Coming after India, but before the split, The White Album was the sound of John, Paul, George and Ringo throwing everything they’d learned into their musical blender. This major work bursts with variety, creativity, experimentation, and the genius of The Beatles during one of their most intense, fertile, periods. It is a timeless album, yet very much of its time.
Its 30 songs veer from the populist stomp of Back in the USSR and the mind-bendingHappiness is a Warm Gun to the melodious sorrow of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the ska pop fun of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, and the hard rock prototype Helter Skelter.
