It’s about 20 minutes long, but literally a MUST SEE for any real Beatles fan! Mind-blowing…
Visit the band site at thefabfaux.com
Notes: This Fab Faux recording of most of side two of ‘Abbey Road’ is a live, in-the-studio performance for a two-camera video shoot. It was originally recorded for The Howard Stern Show and only the audio has been broadcast – until now. Howard and company were kind enough to let us video tape the session.
In the end, there were only three minor guitar fixes and each section was recorded in no more than three takes (most were two).
There are NO added overdubs within this performance.
The audio is pure – and mixed by Joe Chinnici.

Two giants of music. One great song. Did you ever see two guys who loved music more?
From Wikipedia: Raul Midón (born March 14, 1966) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist from New Mexico, based in New York City. He combines his distinct voice, strumming, beats, and vocal mouth trumpet sounds to create a one-man performance. His unique style shows influence of virtually every musical genre which came before him, including jazz, blues, R&B, and folk.

A little reminder of the greatness that was early Elton John! Music by Elton. Lyrics by Bernie Taupin.
It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

Charlie Rich in the early Seventies with a song that crossed over to the Top 20 on the pop charts. This song was obviously written long before the advent of webcams…but has a really beautiful sentiment about love.

A cheesy video to accompany a great song. Charlie Rich, known as The Silver Fox (he was only about 39 at the time of this recording) topped the pop charts with this one in 1973.
Think back to 1971. Who were the most amazing rock guitarists in the world at the time? Hendrix…obviously. Clapton, for sure. But what about Phil Keaggy, who played with a little power trio called Glass Harp? They hailed from Northeastern Ohio and were signed to Decca Records. Here, he puts on a small clinic in guitar solo for a small live TV audience.

While the trailer makes the movie seem JUST A BIT over the top, one can’t help but be impressed by Adam’s voice. Songwriters will have a heyday writing for this kid for many years to come. Immense power and a stunning vocal range!
