Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4003153, member: 181"] Thanks. Until it kicked in that "The White Album" (and likely anything in their repertoire if I get their mission correctly) has never before been played live with such fidelity to the sole recorded version that previously endured more than a half-century and formed an indelibly etched & singular prior sound profile, I let the visuals share the space as an unattended background while I worked on rainy day stuff. Wherever I heard something 'amiss,' I marveled that I'm no more than the persnickety part of a collective memory disturbed from self-affirming splendor that was formed and previously existed only as a completed project that was an elaborately stitched, assembled, and engineered aural collage fashioned as a product available for access by multiple means during the months after "Rubber Soul" and before "Revolver," which was when the band retired from touring and related live performance. The lack of overlap makes it special, and makes a case for considering The Analogues as alt-cover Beatles, and correspondingly valuing them along with Mingus Dynasty Band and Zappa Plays Zappa, in addition to the earlier-discussed GD long-tail efforts, and cosplay recreations.
