BEATLES’ ‘WHITE ALBUM’ TO BE CELEBRATED BY ALL-STARR CAST IN GREENSBURG

Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross and the Monkees’ Micky Dolenz will lead an all-star cast of rockers paying tribute to The Beatles’ “White Album” in a tour that visits the Palace Theatre on Nov. 30.

Jason Scheff, vocalist for the band Chicago, and Joey Molland, guitarist from Badfinger, round out the lineup.
Along with Beatles “White Album” selections such as “Helter Skelter,” “Back in The U.S.S.R.,” “Blackbird” and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” the artists will mix in their own hits.

As Rolling Stone magazine noted, “The fine print on the tour poster reads ‘not affiliated or endorsed by the Beatles individually or collectively,’ but many of the artists on the bill do have Beatle connections. Badfinger was the first band the Beatles signed to their label Apple in 1968 and members of the group played on the sessions for John Lennon’s “Imagine” and George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.” The group also performed at the Concert For Bangladesh alongside Harrison and Ringo Starr. Todd Rundgren, meanwhile, has been a mainstay in Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band going all the way back to 1989 and as recently as 2017. Micky Dolenz befriended the Beatles during his days in the Monkees and was in Abbey Road studios when they recorded ‘Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band.’”
