The Beatles – Revolution (Live)
After playing to a sold out Madison Square Garden in the fall of 1969, when The Doors rolled back into New York City in January of 1970 they booked themselves
The subject matter of this week’s selection is something I think a lot of our readers can relate to. On the surface, this tune – a selection off The Beatles 1966 album Revolver, could innocently be about the feeling of being woken up too early in the morning…Then again, it could be about drugs. And as my friend Dan likes to say, “If you think it might be about drugs, it’s probably about drugs.”
While dissecting the lyrics, I found it humorous how polite the narrator of the song is in reference to being woken up early, specifically the number of times he says, “Please”. I’m not sure if I know anyone who would be this polite given the circumstances.
In a famous 1966 interview that John Lennon did with Maureen Cleave, she said of John,
He can sleep almost indefinitely, is probably the laziest person in England. ‘Physically lazy,’ he said. ‘I don’t mind writing or reading or watching or speaking, but sex is the only physical thing I can be bothered with any more’.
So, the song is at least to some degree, autobiographical.

On Friday and Saturday at NYC’s Terminal 5, The Beatles’ last three albums will be recreated live with a level of authenticity the legendary quartet couldn’t even dream of when they recorded the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be in the late ’60s. America’s quintessential Beatles tribute band, The Fab Faux, have studied these recordings backwards and forwards since the LPs came out and have been working out their brilliant live arrangements of the classic tracks since the NYC-based quintet got together in 1998.
After completing 2008 with this weekend’s “The Final Three” concerts at Terminal 5, the Fab Faux gear up for an action-packed 2009 jammed with performances across the country. The Faux head west in late January for gigs at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix on the 23rd and the Orpheum Theater in L.A. on the 24th before returning east for shows at the Forum Auditorium in Harrisburg on February 14 and Glenside, PA’s Keswick Theater on March 21. We spoke with Fab Faux/David Letterman House Band bassist Will Lee about the Terminal 5 shows and what the future holds for the Faux. READ ON for the HT interview with Will Lee…
