Performs "Abbey Road" at Massey Hall ::
To commemorate the 40 year anniversary of the Beatles "Abbey Road" album, Classic Albums Live will be performing the album, note for note - cut for cut, at Toronto's Massey Hall on Sept. 26.
Classic Albums
Live founder and series producer, Craig Martin, sees the show as a historic event. "This will be a show to remember," says Martin. "This is the one album in the Beatles catalogue that people keep
returning to hear. From start to finish it's an absolutely perfect record and we're going to treat it with the ultimate respect." Massey Hall approached Martin earlier in the year about taking on such a monumental
task. "We do over 150 shows a year," says Martin, "but Massey Hall will be the jewel in our crown. The marriage of the venue, the album and the CAL series will ensure that this will be an incredible night
for music lovers!"
This album stands the test of time - 40 years later, music fans are still listening to "Abbey Road". Kids are discovering this album and sharing it with their friends. A 17-piece band
has been assembled for this show to ensure that every nook and cranny of the album will be perfectly recreated on stage.
Classic Albums Live began in 2003, with a monthly show in Toronto. Taking classic
albums from the 60s and 70s, the group earned a stellar reputation by going to great lengths to recreate seminal albums from some of the world's greatest artists. Having performed with orchestras, choirs, marching bands
and sitarists, the series draws on a core group of 34 musicians to tackle some of the trickiest and most well respected albums of all time.
