The Long Player Sessions 2

Overview

In 1946, a 26-year-old Mr. Howard H. Scott was discharged from the Army, got a job at Columbia Masterworks and was assigned to a top-secret project - developing a long-playing record to replace the 78 rpm. disc, which could hold about four minutes of music on each brittle shellac side.

What resulted was the Long Player.

From The Dark Side of the Moon to Nevermind, the LP has since held home to some of our most appreciated music milestones – and there's no better mark of appreciation than witnessing a band cover an LP from start to finish.

Now, after a stellar series in 2012, The Long Player Sessions are back for round 2 at the Brisbane Powerhouse. Your favourite LPs will be given the royal treatment by a series of bands who recognise the responsibility they hold in their hands. Danny Widdicombe and Friends kick of these season with Jimi Hendrix’s Bold as Love, followed by The Last hotel performing The Black Crowes’ Southern Harmony Musical Companion in one evening of entertainment.

Watch and listen as some of modern talents breathe fresh air into a few classics at the Powerhouse's returning Long Player Session.
