LENNON LIVE -
ON THE NIGHT
Stuart Maconie took us through a night of very special
artists performing their chosen Lennon songs in order to
reflect on the power of the music and the influence of the
man. Radio 2 broadcast from Abbey
Road Studio 2, the historic venue in which The Beatles
recorded virtually everything they ever made, and from
studios in the USA. Abbey Road Studio 2 is full of
atmosphere and nostalgia. Barring the occasional coat of
paint, little has changed since The Beatles changed the
musical world in there, for obvious reasons. In one corner
is the old Bechstein upright piano used to record Lady
Madonna. In another a newer, smaller upright which was
allegedly used for A Day In The Life. Two chords on both
confirm the myths instantly.
