Three years after breaking up, The Beatles released a pair of double album collections that have gone on to be considered part of the canon. 1967-1970 (aka the “Blue Album”) contained material released during a stretch that arguably produced their most imaginative music. Madison Mystery Tour, a local collective of musicians devoted to the Fab Four, will play the album’s songs pure and straight. The core ensemble will be joined onstage for certain selections by a small string orchestra and a choir.
"1967-1970" (the Blue Album) by The Beatles plus more. $28 ($23 adv.).
media release: Madison Mystery Tour returns to the Barrymore Theatre with their All-Star Orchestra to perform the Beatles 1967-1970 compilation, known as the Blue Album! This epic collection of music continues to introduce new generations of fans to the Beatles even 50 years after its initial release. As the world celebrates a fresh remix of the Blue Album, Madison Mystery Tour will bring the original compilation (and more!) to life on stage, supported by a full orchestra of strings, winds, percussion, and choir. Among numerous other classics, the Blue Album includes highlights such as Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes the Sun, and Let It Be.
