The Beatles: Eight Days A Week-The Touring Years (2016)
Not Rated
Starring John, Paul, George & Ringo
Directed by Ron Howard
The Story:
It's 1963 and some British band called The Beatles is about to take off on the greatest meteoric rise in music history.
This is their story.
Ron Howard's engaging documentary compiles footage of the band from 1963-1966.
At that point, the band stopped the breakneck pace of touring and simply released albums after that.
The movie concludes with footage of their final rooftop concert in 1969.
There is archival footage from the Beatles discussing these crazy years on the road, as well as current takes from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Along with that, there are some celebrity fans who discuss what life was like growing up during the height of Beatlemania.
Definitely worth a viewing if you're a fan.
And possibly if you're not a fan (tsk tsk) you might see what all the fuss was about.
Final Grade: A-
