For me, after the early 60's raw stuff and Sgt Pepper, "AR" was their best ever work.
THese guys do not disappoint. They pay attention to the Detail and its shows.
Golden Slumbers was just beautiful, beautiful and that "The End" Finale - Perfect in all its majesty!!
Oh yes - hang on and there is indeed "Her Majesty" slipped in right at the end along with the odd 'camera verite' snippet.
Wow!!
cheers

Never a truer word spoke (or typed) ecca.
Side 2 of Abbey Road has always been extremely high on my desert island discs list and these guys have done it great justice. I loved the changes of vocalist to suit the singer's voice (as opposed to the Paul sings his songs/John sings his) and I thought that Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight was just sublime.
Getting back to your point though, the fact that it has inspired these guys to copy it shows what a wonderful album Abbey Road was; so inventive, so .... well, musical. After the rubbish of the white album and the fighting in Let It Be, the fabs really came up with the goods for their finale. (last recording, not last released in case there's still anyone that still thinks that Let It Be was their swansong).
Just like The Beatles though, how could the Fab Faux top it?

It was heartbreakingly fantastic times that we lived through.
I adored them.
