In commemoration of what would have been the month of John Lennon’s seventy-first birthday, Long Island’s popular Beatles tribute band Mostly Moptop will present a “John Lennon Birthday Celebration” concert unlike any other.
In addition to their acclaimed note-for-note performances of classic songs from both The Beatles and John Lennon’s solo years, Mostly Moptop will debut a special fourpart song cycle homage to Lennon’s life, art and music called “Four John: A Rock ’n Roll Concerto.”
Spoken passages from Lennon’s book and play “In His Own Write” will be performed during the piece by Moptop’s Anthony Pomes along with such classic Beatles tracks as “Please Please Me,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” and “I Am the Walrus,” shuffled in with Lennon solo anthems like “Mind Games,” “Watching the Wheels,” and “Imagine,” among many others.
