Close your eyes ... it's The Beatles

The Fab Faux - Abbey Road Side 2 (mostly) from The Fab Faux on Vimeo.

 

The Fab Faux are a group of East Coast studio musicians -- including bassist/vocalist Will Lee of the David Letterman Band -- who gathered to record an amazing live performance of Side 2 of the Beatles' "Abbey Road" album.

What makes the performance amazing is it was recorded live and is a nearly note for note replica of the original Beatles songs. If you're a musician or recovering musician, you know how difficult an undertaking this was to pull off live.

And it wasn't just the notes that were replicated -- duplicating the audio environment was part of the challenge as well. Check out this video of the Fab Faux learning recording tricks from legendary Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick.
