Marvin Gaye - What's Going On + You're The Man (Selected Works) : LISTEN
SEE EVENT DETAILS
8pm General Admission7:30 PM Doors | 8:00 PM Start
The defining album from Marvin Gaye and a touchstone for soul and pop music alike. We've upmixed the rare quadraphonic mix of this album for the 32 speakers of Envelop SF and it sounds remarkable. Mixing gritty social commentary and anguished dissatisfaction with expressions of religious devotion; the singer once stated that the album had been written by God and merely delivered by Gaye. Non-standard musical arrangements, which heralded a new sound at the time, gives What's Going On a chilling edge that ultimately underscores its gravity. This night also includes our favorite selections from Marvin's follow-up to "What's Going On", a lost album until 2019 titled "You're The Man".
LISTEN is a series of iconic album listenings in Envelop, allowing us to be inside the music. Envelop provides general admission seats in the arrangement shown below.?Envelop SF is within The Midway at 900 Marin St, SF CA.
