“We really make an effort to sound exactly like the originals,” explains Owen, who admits the he and the other three Beatlemania members are big Beatles fans. “The Orchestra score is exact, right down the every note and instrument that was on the original recording. On “Got To Get You Into My Life” we have two tenor saxes and three trumpets. That’s what it was written for, and that’s what we use. And on “ A Day in the Life.” “Can you imagine that big orchestra crescendo happening live?”
