Personally speaking, some of the topics raised here I was already familiar with but may have forgotten about, meaning that I enjoyed being reminded about it. Other topics were new to me, like the protests arising from the band being booked to play at the Budokan stadium in Japan. Sometimes what I thought I knew was challenged. For instance, I thought that The Beatles' concert at Shea Stadium marked the end of their touring career because the crowd noise was so excessive that the band never wanted to have to deal with that again the bonus feature at the end has reasonable sound quality for that concert.
In the documentary, however, it's mentioned that their concert at Candlestick Park in the US was their last ever proper concert. The landmark controversies do feature in this documentary, including the band's infamous "butcher cover" artwork for their single release "Yesterday and today" as well as John Lennon's notorious "bigger than Jesus" utterance which seemed capable of derailing their success An interesting aspect to this documentary is the focus on the many firsts that the band achieved, including being the first band to play stadiums Shea Stadium , John Lennon accidentally inventing the use of backward played tape on albums, The Beatles being the first act to have the top 5 selling songs in the US singles chart and most noteworthy of all and a surprise to me was that The Beatles collectively overturned America's apartheid policy in the South to have non-segregated seating for their concerts there.
Lastly as far as the documentary proper goes , it was interesting to hear that the band weren't always confident that they would be successful Also, maybe it seems obvious, but I wasn't aware how autobiographical and literal Lennon's song "Help! No other songs are discussed in this manner. I do have vague memories of a story on FM radio about their song "If I fell" from memory being autobiographical too The only "complaint" I have of this documentary is that it would have been good to have revisited some clips from previous documentaries.
Lennon had to explain to him, like Jesus to a child, that that couldn't possibly be true if I recall. Nothing like that in Howard's documentary. I do remember one "Parkinson" interview, I think, with Paul McCartney where he asked Paul about their songwriting influences. Paul mentioned their education, which was interesting It was great to be reminded of the wit of the band in their press conferences Highlight: A soccer crowd at Anfield spontaneously singing a Beatles song during a game.
The band were mostly stoned when shooting their film "Help! Their record deal was lousy. Details Edit. Release date September 17, United States.

Eight Days a Week also reminds us that from within that constricted, hotel suite-bound, waited-on-hand-and-foot lifestyle, emerged the phenomenal nine-hour monolith of their recorded output, which artists and musicians are still facing down today. Howard and his team, including British producer Nigel Sinclair, found a huge amount of material, using the internet to send out feelers for fan footage of live shows, local TV news clips and bootleg recordings. The results are stunning. Howard and his editors also manage a number of celebrity Beatle-fan coups, like the day when, to their astonishment, they spotted a year-old Sigourney Weaver looming lankily over her fellow teenyboppers in footage of a show, and then pulled Weaver in to share her memories.
He was nine. The Fab Four hit him right where he lived. This sense of quantum leaps in creative growth is what hooked Howard to the movie. The fact that they were able to be that creatively ambitious, and maintain it, and keep growing at that moment, while they were coping with this remarkably wonderful, but also kind of shocking, reality of their success, is kind of awesome.
In a way, that sort of creative integrity is at the heart of the story for me. As a unit, they produced genius-level work and were four intelligent, charismatic but self-effacing artists. That whole approach they had to the music, to the press, their natural wit as a foursome fooling around for the cameras, was totally organic and unique to them and them alone, making them sort of this four-headed beast.
Nonetheless, the gig and the remainder of the southern leg of the tour unfolded in quietly desegregated venues, a little piece of progress not widely noted. Select Plan. Price after free trial.
