Abbey Road On The River Featured On VH1


BY AARON FRANK

This past Friday night, VH1 began showing a 90 second segment dedicated to Louisville's Abbey Road on the River. The segment highlights one of the main performances, which was the 40th anniversary performance of The White Album in its entirety. The concert featured the first ever performance of the controversial Beatles song, "Revolution #9," and this is also covered in the new VH1 segment.

Abbey Road on the River just wrapped up its fourth year last weekend, and when all was said and done, the festival broke another record for attendance, drawing 25,000 concert-goers. The festival brings out Beatles fans and bands from across the world every year, and is the only festival of its kind, which brings together Beatles cover bands from nearly every background.

The VH1 segment on Abbey Road on the River debuted Friday night on VH1, so it will be shown sporadically during commercial breaks on the network. You can also check out the segment, when it goes online tomorrow at www.vh1.com.
