Beatles Musical Coming
. The stage version premiered, low-key, in Glasgow in 2010, but it's now set for a West End theater run. According to producer Karl Sydow, "It will allow people the experience of being at the birth of The Beatles. It tells a story that many music fans may not know, set to a musical backdrop that absolutely defined the early '60s. Next year will mark 50 years since The Beatles released their first single, and I am proud to be bringing their early days to life in [London's] West End." The soundtrack for the movie Backbeat was possibly even better than the film. Dave Grohl, Thurston Moore and R.E.M.'s Mike Mills all played on the Backbeat soundtrack, covering The Beatles' raw versions of "Twist & Shout," "Rock & Roll Music," "Long Tall Sally," "Please Mr. Postman" and more. more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
