Act 1:

The Coming – Television viewers watch open-mouthed as a group of four Liverpudlians explode on national television. Shortly after their debut in February, 1964 the lighthearted, mop topped jesters begin to win recognition and attention never before given to rock and roll artists. “I Want To Hold Your Hand” “She Loves You”

Making It – The “Fab Four” establish themselves as style setters, innovators, movie stars, recording artists and fashion makers with a contagious sense of humor, newness and excitement. “Help!” “Can’t But Me Love” “Day Tripper”

Listening – As the group begins to mature musically, a sense of introspection is felt through their music. Critics begin to give them more serious consideration, while an increasing number and diversity of fans await the changing sounds of each newly released recording. “Yesterday” “Eleanor Rigby” “Nowhere Man”

Tripping – Becoming an accepted entity by the “establishment”, the group takes on a whole new direction with musical experimentation and sensual, psychedelic perceptions. Their music is becoming a directional for the increasing “counter-culture” and anti-establishment youth movements. “Strawberry Fields Forever” “Penny Lane” “Magical Mystery Tour”

Act 2:

Dropping Out – Their growing musical styles have connected with other cultures and life-styles through a multi-dimensional sound which defies categorization. The country’s youth follows suit in more personal, individualized self-exploration and unconventional answers to an unresponsive and static society. “Lady Madonna” “The Fool On The Hill” “Got To Get You Into My Life” “Michelle” “Get Back”

Flower Power – Holding its own, the youth movement becomes an established force and reality, influencing all phases of society, as the “hippies” and “street people” of Haight Ashbury and New York’s Lower East Side reach far beyond their coastal boundaries into the home of middle America. “All You Need Is Love”

Bottoming Out – The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy traumatize the country. The War in Vietnam rages on, and the confusion, anger and violent confrontations in the streets of the U.S. splinter any hopeful ideals left from the early years of the decade. The group moves toward separation. “Revolution” “Hey Jude”

Moving On – The decade climaxes as the group itself splits apart. Their songs, now individual statements, are reflective of their own personal choices and life styles, while the wealth of collective material remains, painting a spectrum of images ranging from the innocent to the innovators, from the celebrities to the outlaws; always growing, creating and moving beyond their audiences. “I Am The Walrus” “The Long And Winding Road” “Let It Be”
