that trumpet work was dreadful...he was poorly tuned and pitchy, not sure what the applause was for...also, why the hell are two people singing this? it sounds horrible with their vocals overlapping
Boy, you're tough (although I agree there are "pitchy" issues with, what I believe to be, a wonderful trumpet track)! Know a cover version of this that's any better? Please say yes, I'd love to hear it. Dreadful---horrible? I must come from another planet.
I'm a musician, I have always loved this song, but I wrote it off to a triumph of talent, but mostly engineering (those British Engineers were so good). Then, I heard this---I NEVER thought I would hear something like this done live. Yes, the electronics have changed, but this is magic music. I'm in awe.
@bigmarty56 Why not? It isn't as if any Jazz stage band, funk group, symphony orchestra etc... don't do music 10x more complex, challenging, intricate, layered or anything else. I mean it is a good song but it isn't some sort of miracle of technology.
Agreed. My point was/is that if you are a Beatles cover band, and if your aim is to faithfully replicate the original sound---complex or not----this is a very fine attempt.
@bigmarty56 All fair points. I thought you might be a Beatle nut who actually thought this sort of thing was amazing musically. Really enjoyable sure....but for me the hype is a tad over done. Great band but this "Most talent band eeeevvveeer" is just a bit trite.
Then, we are of like mind. Cool! You sound like a music person. I'm a "popular" music guy---not an Opera or Symphonic expert. In that genre, my belief has always been that the material (songs) is about 70% of it, and that the musicianship is the rest. There are exceptions that prove the rule. But, what do you think? I'd be interested to know.
One more thing I forgot to add----Whe I mention technology in this post, I'm not talking about today, I'm talking about 45 years ago (plus or minus). Listen to the original Penny Lane---recorded on four track tape---and it is impeccably fine sounding. Better than some of the DDD reordings one buys today.
Did Lew Soloff also play piccolo at the State Theater in New Brunswick NJ last year? Or was it someone else? Whoever it was, that brought the house down!
I think the point of these guys is that they're more about the spirit and intention of the Beatles' music than details such as accent and dress, which in my eyes elevates them above many, many tribute bands.
the trumpet was spot on!

I've seen the Faux many times. They are the real deal. They enjoy playing the show as much as we enjoy attending.
They shatter the cover-band mold.

No, it wasn't Lew in New Brunswick. It was John Chudoba. He has been doing it for the past several years.
