Beatlerape live @ Big City Orchestra 30th Anniversary Show

On January 31st, 2010 Big City Orchestra celebrated their 30th anniversary as a sound-emitting entity, collecting 27 performers to show off BCO's wide-ranging tastes (and their prowess for suckering others to do their show for them). Three such suckers joined forces to reinterpret BCO's 1994 Staalplaat album, Beatlerape: Wobbly, Phineas Narco, and The Evolution Control Committee.
The trio mapped out a pretty stunning 20 minute set, mixing and mashing Beatles recordings into remixed wonders bearing no resemblence to the original album. Nope, none at all. Good thing too, 'cuz this live session might well be better than its original namesake.
