Jimmy and the Fab Faux performing Abbey Road live!

This is a really high-quality video of the Fab Faux performing most of side 2 (of the LP) of Abbey Road for the Howard Stern show at Sirius studios.

There are no overdubs whatsoever in this incredible performance. Each song was recorded in one to three takes. Only three minor guitar fixes were made. The videography and the sound mix is quite intimate and really gets you "in close" with the Faux.

Credits: Mix: Joe Chinnici; Video Director/Editor: Robert Noonan; Ass't Videographer: Luke Noonan.
