Experience the songs and the life of John Lennon in a chronological soundscape starring Jay Goeppner.
This 100-minute retrospective begins in 1966, when the Beatles made the momentous decision to stop touring and concentrate solely on music composed in the studio. That was when the seeds to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band were sown. Songs culled from that album as well as Rubber Soul, Revolver, The White Album, Abbey Road and the rooftop concert for Let It Be as the Beatles’ final performance is faithfully reproduced.
The second half of the show follows Lennon’s solo career from The Plastic Ono Band to his signature album Imagine, to Sometime In New York City, Mind Games, Walls & Bridges and Rock & Roll. The show concludes with selections from John and Yoko’s final recording, Double Fantasy, released just prior to his death on December 8, 1980.
Goeppner and his crack SoundTracks band intertwines these songs with multimedia images to create the monumental musical and emotional impact that John Lennon brought to the world.
