Classic Beatles Songs

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Town Hall in New York City, “Classic Beatles Songs” frames John Lennon’s writing within a concert-length tribute to his public call for peace. Graham Nash, Judy Collins, Suzanne Vega, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Taylor, and others revisit selections from Lennon’s solo catalog alongside Beatles-era material, hosted by Joe Raiola. Town Hall’s long history of benefit concerts and civic-minded programming gives the night a distinctly New York context. The earned observation is simple: these songs endure because they hold up outside their original moment, even when sung by voices unlike the ones that first recorded them.
