LONDON - More about the first live. The band recorded today (5 February) the traditional programme Live From Abbey Road in the historical study. The show lasts 30 minutes where they performed four songs from the album Different Gear, Still Speeding. It will be broadcasted by Channel 4 (in late February). This is a good opportunity to have a live recording of the band before their first shows in the UK tour. In this programme performed musicians as Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Mars Volta, Massive Attack, Jamiroquai, MGMT, Richard Ashcroft and others.
Neil McCallum, chief of Music T4 and Channel 4, said they're looking forward to the televised broadcast of the launch concert of Beady Eye before their new album. Besides, it's exciting to announce a spin-off series of the new brand, the launch of Abbey Road, that will give to the next generation of music stars the opportunity to perform in a historical space.
Each broadcast Live from Abbey Road, a famous band, a soloist or first-class composer and a leading contemporary musician will show off their talent in this highly inspiring and creative context. Everyone will play three songs, ranging from classical music to innovative covers, unique collaborations, new songs and unreleased material. The idea of this series is to bring together these great artists and record them without pressure, so to achieve their best possible performance. According to the original idea of the producers: to make it look like a movie and sound like a recording.
