“Beatles Hits” points back to the early-1960s moment when The Beatles’ concise pop craft began to circulate beyond the UK on EPs, helping standardize the idea of the three-minute rock/pop statement. At Town Hall in New York, it’s heard in the context of a program honoring John Lennon’s writing and his public commitment to peace, with performances by Graham Nash, Judy Collins, Suzanne Vega, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Taylor, and others. New York has long functioned as a second home in Lennon’s story, and the songbook still reads here like shared civic memory. The critical detail is its durability: these tunes survive translation into many voices without losing their center.
