Sit Down and Hear Some "Beatles Stories"

It's a story about some famous people who met some even more famous people...

The Beatles!


The Story:

The Beatles.  Perhaps you've heard of them.  Greatest Rock & Roll Band of all time, both opinion and fact. ;)
Well this is their story.  As told by people who met the Beatles and want to recount those stories.  The man behind the project is Seth Swirsky, himself a huge Beatles fan. Of course, he's also a songwriter, so it helps to be an "insider" to talk to famous people.  If you or I were to walk up to these people with a camera, we'd most likely be punched or have the police called.  The stories range from Pre-Beatlemania to post Beatle break-up.  And really, almost all of the stories are very quick, maybe a minute, sometimes 2 minutes.  So it's really...bam bam bam... and the next thing you know, 90 minutes has gone by, and it's time to roll the credits.

So is it worth it?

The bigger the Beatle-maniac, the more you'll enjoy it.

You don't hear from the lads themselves, but you get to hear people reminisce about their interactions with them.  From casual, quick meetings to in-depth recording sessions or meals, this one has it all.

My favorite of all the stories?  I would give the nod to Henry Winkler for his tale of meeting Sir Paul.  Pretty funny, and pretty cool.

It was bittersweet to see an interview with Davey Jones also.  But you'll see how influenced he was by the group, and how he was there when it all began.


It's light, breezy, and a lot of fun.  It's really cool to hear some of the behind the scenes from Rock History.

Naturally, the only thing missing was a chance to have Seth chat with Paul or Ringo, but alas...


Final Grade: B-
Would I Add It To the DVD Library: Probably Not.  I'm the only Beatle fan in the house.  Sacrilege, know...
