Bringing
back the music of the Beatles
Continued
from Page 1
The
group performed two dozen songs, honoring the recordings
without fail, even capturing the psychedelic audio
loops at the end of "Strawberry Fields."
The
later music, which the Beatles never performed on
stage, came to life just as effectively as the songs
they performed live hundreds of times.
The
night's play list reads like six years of memories
-- "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," "I Feel
Fine," "I Saw Her Standing There,"
"Yesterday," "Got to Get You Into My
Life," the "Sergeant Pepper's" theme,
"Something," "Lady Madonna," "Get
Back," "Here Comes the Sun," "Revolution"
and 15 more.
The
hottest moment: The launch of an electrifying version
of "Birthday" was met with a crowd whoop
and the night's most frenzied blanket dancing.
The
silliest moment: "When I'm 64" started with
the crowd singing "I'm Henry the Eighth"
before finding the long and winding road back to the
Beatles.
Michael
Jones, Etc.'s president, said Sunday that the event
went well.
Despite
the overwhelming ticket success, the evening didn’t
net Etc. more than $1,000, he told concertgoers. The
costs of the event were $15,000 and the ticket sales
produced $16,000.
Although
Etc. is a nonprofit organization and "we’re
not trying to make money," Jones explained that
the group needs a cushion. "We need an operating
fund. … Making money on some events is very
important, particularly because we give some events
free to the community and we also lose money on some
events," he said Sunday.
He
thanked all of the group's volunteers for the work
that made the event possible and singled out Erin
Reed for special thanks.
The
event was sponsored by Rancho Murieta Brokers.
