I love this entry! I also paid too much for my Paul ticket, but I think it'll be worth it. :)

The "Revolver" talk took in a bunch of discussion about how the various songs were composed and recorded, talking about what instruments were on which of the four available tracks, and how a fuzz guitar on take 6 would show up leaking back through the drum track onto track 7.

Also, there was a little bit of music theory presented about the chord progressions, which I guess I knew a little bit about, but I guess the flattened sixth, flattened seventh, first progression (Aeolean something, I forget how he described this) was pretty adventurous at the time, but then he played a bunch of other recognizable pieces that used it later, including a Mario fanfare.

It'd be awesome if Freiman was to record these lectures and sell them on DVD - I'd buy the set.

Yay, my ticket arrived just now.

Boo, the price printed on the ticket is nowhere near what I paid. That's how it goes. Still will be an amazing show.
