1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: The White Album. The concert is on Thursday, September seven

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: at the Riverside Theater. Tickets and through tick Tech. This

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: is an amazing opportunity because the Beatles never actually played

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: the White Album live. I don't believe, but this is

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: our own supergroup. Phil Javison, Tim Rodgers, Josh Bike and

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Chris Chaney and Chris joins us. Now Hello, Chris, Chris, Hello,

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: how are you? And also a seventeen piece rock orchestra.

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I think the White Album is an absolute classic of classics.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: It's certainly my favorite Beatles album. How do you guys

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: put your own spin on it?

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: It's a great question because that's one of the things

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 3: that we said from the word go, is that it

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: wasn't necessarily just a tribute night. It's not like the

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: four of us are pretending to be John Paul.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Now, I don't see that. You've seen that.

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way it works is that we are the

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: sort of interchanging singers that you know, we're all allocated

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: a certain amount of songs because it's a double record,

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: a seventeen piece band behind us, and yeah, that just

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: is the incredible diversity and stuff on this record. So

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: you need that many people. But yeah, it's been one

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: of the great joys of my career actually, which is

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: why we're now doing it for the fourth time on

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: this tour. Coming back to it.

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Man, if the songs in order or do you

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: just mix it up?

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, it's it runs as the record does.

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: It even has the jet airplane at the beginning before

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: back in the USS, so cool. Yeah, it's great because,

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 3: as you said, you know people the Beatles never played

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: this live, and so it's the thing is we sort

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: of try and bring our own interpretation vocally to it,

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: and I think we put our own kind of stamp

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: on it, but we don't obviously you don't remove it

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: from what it was. But it's not us pretending to

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: sing like John Lennon, you know. And so it's been

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: so successful I think because of that reason. It's not

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: just a covers band. It's actually got this whole show.

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: So looking forward to it, it's a moment.

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: As the kids say, Chris, you mentioned the diversity of

42
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: the songs on the album, and it was, as we know,

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: written during that transcendental meditation period with the Maharishi, which

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I feel as though all of the Beatles interpreted in

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: their own way that obviously affected had an influence on

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: what became the White Album.

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: I guess it did. I mean, it's sort of it's

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: sort of the sound of a band splintering. You know,

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 3: they were recording a few things on their own, different studios,

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: but it obviously still sounds like the Beatles no matter

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: what they sort of did, even if they recorded some

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: parts separately. But I mean, it's every record they ever

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: did is incredible. But the diversity on this one in

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 3: particular is kind of is staggering, like Blackbird and It's

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: got the happiness is a.

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: Warm guns from very very minimal to just you know,

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: really and really beautiful too, things like good night right

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: at the end, which is sort of Ringo's lalla by,

59
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 4: and it's just got it all.

60
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: Have you ever met a Beetle?

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: I have, actually, Yeah. I was living in Los Angeles

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: for about nine years and a good friend of ours,

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: she used to work for Capitol Records, and she has

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: a party every year where all her famous friends turn up.

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: And so we were there one night and Ringo was

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: there and my then seven year old daughter. Because I

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: was too afraid to go after him, I said you

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: go and talk to him, you're going to So she

69
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: went up and tapped him, Hi, Ringo, and she said,

70
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: my favorite bands are the Beatles and the Living End.

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: And then he came over and started talking to it,

72
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: and he said, I know the Living End. I like

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: the Living End too. He was absolutely lovely.

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Does she say not necessarily in that order?

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: You know?

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: After watching Get Back, I was the documentary. It was

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: a bigger Ringo fan than ever. He was just his legendary.

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: So patient, wasn't he.

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: Do you do you have it?

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: I think he was kind of the glue.

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: That yes, you tell from the look on his face

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: during a lot of that footage. Do you have a

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: favorite song on the album?

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 3: On this album, maybe happiness is a warm Gun, which

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: I don't actually get to sing. It's one of the

86
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: ones that I wanted that Tim does that. But what

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: I love about it is that you can hear it's

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: John at his sort of most outlandish and kind of odd,

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: but at the same time you can hear that fifties

90
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: do Wop influence that they always had, you know, they

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: grew up loving that fifties rock and roll, and so

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: I love that it's got a little bit of that

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: in there, with also the avant garde kind of you know,

94
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: the psychedelic kind of thing that's in there too. It's

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: remarkable that you could put a song like that together,

96
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: but you know that's why they were who they were.

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Of course, I didn't think I listened to you just said,

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Tim got that one.

99
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Were there any hustles over I want to do that

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: favorite Children?

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: Yes?

102
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 3: Well, you know when I was given my because we

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: had a musical director who kind of allocated the song.

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: What are you doing?

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: I've got you doing back in the USS gently Weeps

106
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: Helter Skelter. I'm thinking I can't sing helter shelter. There's

107
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: no way that I'll be able to get up to

108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: that high. But you know what's the funny thing. When

109
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: you set yourself a challenge and you just give it

110
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, you know you can get there. It

111
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: was the same with gently Weep, So I was like, oh, God,

112
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: Clapton and George Harrison. I pride myself on being a

113
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: guitar player first, but I thought, I really got to

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: bring it when I play that song. So it's a

115
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: great challenge.

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it wasn't weird time we mentioned they have

117
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: been through the TM phase and the things were they

118
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: had a lot of faith in the Mahari until he

119
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: started making advantags towards the wives and girlfriends. There was

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: a lot going on for the Beatles at the time,

121
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: were they Chris, it comes out in the music.

122
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, exactly. I love the faith that they just

123
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: took little situations like you know, Mia Farrow was locked

124
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 3: away in her room, wasn't sure and he was. John

125
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: wrote wrote the song about you know, come out and

126
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: join us, you know, and hate dear Prudence, And yeah,

127
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: they could turn just the most mundane, normal thing in

128
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: life that we wouldn't ever think twice about into a

129
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: brilliant song.

130
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, every day.

Speaker 3: Well, it was. It was almost like that during the pandemic,

138
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: sort of coming out of the end of that, I

139
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,320
