“The White Album gives me the fear. It’s denim and silk. Flickers of beauty washed out by blinding anxiety.” - Tim Rogers
Few records echo down through the years like The White Album. The Beatles’ influential masterpiece is now a 40-year-old icon.
To celebrate this rock’n’roll milestone, four of Oz rock’s finest – Chris Cheney of the Living End, Phil Jamieson of Grinspoon, Tim Rogers and Josh Pyke – will take to the stage this August in four very special 40th Anniversary Concerts in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
Recorded in the months after the Beatles returned disillusioned from India, their manager dead, their break up in sight, and wracked with internal tensions, the double WHITE ALBUM was immediately hailed as one of the most extraordinary, powerful albums in the history of music: a work of unparalleled influence and brilliance.
Bringing this classic to life at The Beatles’ White Album 40th Anniversary Concert requires an all-star line-up of Australia’s best musicians, with Cheney, Jamieson, Rogers and Pyke backed by 17 players including strings, horns and two drummers.
Backed by a 17 piece band made up of the country’s finest musicians The White Album will be performed in its entirety, in track order, starting with Back in the USSR and closing with Good Night, with state of the art sound capturing every nuance of The Beatles’ songcraft.
Don’t miss this never-to-be-repeated musical experience, as Australia’s finest musicians pay tribute to one of popular music’s most groundbreaking moments in The Beatles’ White Album 40th Anniversary Concert.
