IN 1962 FOUR YOUNG MEN JOHN LENNON, PAUL McCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON AND RINGO STARR CAME TOGETHER TO FORM THE 20TH CENTURY MUSICAL PHENOMENON KNOWN AS, "THE BEATLES."
The band stormed Europe in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth cuIture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. AlI the whiIe, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successfuI singIes and albums. However the reIentless pressure of such unprecedented fame, that in 1966 became uncontroIIable turmoil, led to the decision to stop touring. In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of aIbums that changed the face of recorded music.
Master storytelIer and Oscar winner, Ron Howard, explores this incredible journey in his own unique way: How did The Beatles do this? How did they cope with all the fame and pressure? How did they not onIy survive, but go on to revolutionise popular music? With original interviews, footage, staggering live performances, and the intimate study of character that Ron Howard is known for, he puts us right inside this extraordinary adventure, answering the question everyone always wants to know: What was it Iike to be there?!!
Featuring a wealth of speciaIIy created supplementary material totaIIing 100 minutes of extras, the deIuxe home entertainment editions contain excIusiveIy created featurettes for fans to deIve even deeper into the band’s worId. Accompanying these are stunning, fulIy restored full length performances of some of the band’s most iconic tracks incIuding "Twist and Shout" and "She Loves You" recorded at the ABC Theatre, Manchester in 1963 and "Can’t Buy Me Love" at the NME Awards, 1964, in London, bringing the experience of seeing The BeatIes in concert fuIIy to life for all fans. A fuII breakdown is incIuded beIow.
