"The Beatles' 1966 masterpiece, Revolver, saw the band expanding its musical horizons by using the studio as another instrument. Along with Rubber Soul, this marks an exceptionally fruitful period, as the band transitioned from the playful Mop Tops to psychedelic musical adventures. In many music polls, Revolver is rated the top album of all time. The 1966 album launched a period of studio experimentation for The Beatles that coincided with their decision to stop performing live. With memorable songs, such as "Eleanor Rigby," "Yellow Submarine," and "Tomorrow Never Knows," The Beatles pushed popular music to a place it had never been before. DeconstructingThe Beatles' Revolver, a multimedia lecture, explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into creating this landmark piece of music history. In addition to many of the tracks from Revolver, "Beatleologist" Scott Freiman explores the creation of two other songs recorded during the same time period, "Paperback Writer" and "Rain." Join Scott on an educational journey into the remarkable creative process behind these timeless performances and recording sessions."--Container
