On May 22nd The
Analogues will perform Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band live
and in its entirety at The Indigo O2, fifty years after this most famous
Beatles album was originally released.
This will be their first show in London after 47 sell out dates in The Netherlands and Belgium to ecstatic audiences.
The band have a passionate commitment to authentically reproducing live, music only previously heard in the confines of Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios.
Playing
a unique collection of vintage instruments from the period with full
string and horn sections means the audience will hear a note perfect
reproduction of this most iconic album for the first time.
Geoff
Emerick, who was the Sound Engineer on all the studio albums at Abbey
Road from 1966 - 1970 and worked closely with The Beatles as they
created Sergeant Pepper is a huge fan of The Analogues and commented on
hearing them for the first time, "Listening to the Analogues, I have
never heard anything come so close to the original records."
The
Analogues are not a cover band or Beatles tribute with wigs and
costumes but an exceptionally talented group of Beatles' loving
musicians reverentially recreating a note perfect performance of The
Beatles studio albums never heard live...until now.
As
Geoff Emerick said on hearing them perform, "they get these records
absolutely perfect. If you close your eyes you would really be listening
to the original recordings sounding the way they are supposed to sound
for the first time. Even The Beatles couldn't reproduce Sergeant Pepper
live".
