Hear the music of The Beatles while enjoying news and film clips about the groups’ “Sgt. Pepper’s” years at “The Beatles: Part 2,” a concert and “rockumentary” by Justin Ploof and the Throwbacks.
Crossings is bringing the band back for this second installment of a Beatles tribute concert. Most importantly, the Throwbacks authentically reproduce the music of The Beatles, this time covering the time span when the band stopped touring and devoted themselves entirely to the studio. They released the legendary masterpiece “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and ushered in a new form of record making.
Beyond the music, the audience will “Witness the End of an Era,” through stories, anecdotes and fascinating facts chronicled on vintage footage and other media.
The Beatles would continue in their dominance of the Billboard Charts through this era, posting another 10 number one hits, as well as continue to change pop’s musical landscape with five chart-topping albums. In the end, they would leave a music catalogue that started a revolution and that still influences pop and rock music today.
The Throwbacks performed “The Beatles: Part 1” in Zumbrota the first of March. The core group is comprised of Justin Ploof, Jason Ploof, and Dan Ploof. They have a multitude of professional music experience and have shared the stage with the likes of Soul Asylum, Bobby Vee, Joan Jett, and Jessie Lang. Their incredible attention to detail and quality of musicianship will wow audiences from the first chord. They work to emulate the songs the way the artists meant for them to be performed.
