Classical Mystery Tour: Music of The Beatles
When Ed Sullivan introduced The Beatles to America in 1964, everything changed…the way we listened to music, the way we wore our hair, the way we perceived our world. It was considered a once-in-a-lifetime event. Until now! Recapture the spell The Beatles cast over us with the Classical Mystery Tour, featuring four musicians who look – and sound – just like the original Fab Four, performing over two dozen classic Beatles tunes with the San Francisco Symphony. Hear “Penny Lane” with a live trumpet section, experience the beauty of “Yesterday” with an acoustic guitar and string quartet, and enjoy the classical/rock blend on “I Am the Walrus.” Don’t miss the music of The Beatles with the SFS!

The Secrets Hidden in the Beatles Rockband
A cracking 45 minutes at the College of Art-this may be one of the shortest shows on The Fringe but this was quality not quantity. With so much on offer a good short show is better value than a long dreary one.

Touring Liverpool with a Beatlemaniac son
The omnipresent logo is the tablature for the jangling opening chord of “A Hard Day’s Night.” That Beatles classic plays over and over in the lobby. Beatles portraits decorate the rooms. Beatles music fills a stairway plastered with pictures that tell the Beatles story as you climb. Beatles-themed bars and restaurants offer more Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, and Beatles.
