Live from Abbey Road is a 12-part, one-hour performance series/documentary that began filming its first season during 2006 at Abbey Road Studios in London. Season 2 was filmed between 2007 and 2008 and season 3 was filmed in 2009. The series features a total of 104 musical artists to date (about 36 per Season) -- usually 3 per show, performing up to 3 songs per session. The sessions are recorded without a live audience.
