Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'm part of a group that is providing back up choral vocals for a tribute band fronting the Colorado Symphony Orchestra in a week-end program dedicated to the music of the Beatles. The program features all of the Sgt. Peppers music plus a variety from the rest of their material. Should be great fun, even if our part is limited to ten songs consisting primarily of many oohs and ahs, and a few pages of Hare Krishnas. I understand its a sell-out, which is almost 3,000, so at least we'll have some of the best seats in the house! |

Location: Tennessee | Within You Without You would be very cool to see if they do the whole sitar and tabla thing. Mr. Kite would also be neat with a real calliope sound. |

Brad, are they doing solo material too? There were no "Hare Krishnas" in Beatles music that I recall. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | My Sweet Lord is on the program and in our scores, so there must be some solo stuff. Johnny, there are never any publicly released videos of these shows that I know of, although videos are made for historical/archival purposes, and the videos or broadcasts are shown live on screens mounted in lobbies and other public areas adjacent to the symphony hall. The only videos I have of our shows are from public television broadcasts during the holidays. |

This is the stuff that actually gets me to sit through their fund raising telethons. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | You can't believe how totally disruptive a broadcast can be to those in attendance at the show, particularly a live television broadcast. Nonetheless, I couldn't agree with you more, Stephen. |
