A Fab Five PAX gathered at The Dam on the coolest morning of the season so far to exercise & celebrate the coolest album (or #2) of 1966. The Beatles, “Revolver”.
Warm-Up was the Standard Rio: 10 SSH, 6 Good Mornings, & 10 Imperial Walkers.
Mosey to the trailhead of the Greenway. Since “Revolver” was the 7th studio release by the Beatles, we did a quick set of 7’s. Freddie Mercuy’s at the top of the trail, Bobby Hurley’s under the Falls of Neuse bridge.
“Revolver” is truly where the Beatles sound, and for that matter the entire decade of the 1960’s melded 3 specific eras of music into once clearly expressed collection of songs. The concept of an LP length cohesive album, & not merely a collection of songs, single & B-Sides took shape in this 34:35 time span.
To honor the 3 periods of Beatles sounds, YHC set a course for a 3 station circuit.
