Recently the InfoCom convention was in town. It is a fun week for me, because Pete (my husband) gets all kinds of "comps" and we get to go to fun parties, and usually free shows. Well, this year, one of the vendors bought out the show
The Beatles"Love by Cirque Du Soleil. It is a rule that a free show is always at least 25% better than one you pay for! However, The Beatles show was AMAZING! I would pay to see it again, and that is the highest compliment I can give because the tickets ain't cheap! The sound system alone is worth it. The music gets into your bones. I am a huge beatles fan, ever since I was about 7 and my mom played her "let it be" LP on the record player. Hearing of course the title song, and then "across the universe" I started buying Beatles Albums on tape. I now have tons of their stuff on MP3.
Needless to say, I was excited to see the show. The show doesn't have a specific story, more like scenes of the influence of the music. It is very artsy fartsy. Pete isn't that into creativity and art, (a left brain), but he still loved the show as much as I did. If you aren't into The Beatles try out some songs I love.
"Blackbird" on the album
The Beatles
"Eight Days a Week" & "No Reply" on the album
Beatles for Sale
"Elenor Rigby" & "I'm only sleeping" on the
Revolver album
"something" & "Here comes the Sun" on the album
Abbey Road
and
" My Guitar Gently Weeps" (this is a George Harrison song, as is here comes the sun)
The Beatles changed modern Rock and Roll, they brought about the idea of writing and recording their own songs. Not just ones written for them. They were relevant in every trend that surrounded them, sometimes creating their own fads. I love the beatles, and I recommend seeing the show!
"THE BEATLES, LOVE"
