Caught the new Beatles documentary “Beatles ’64” , covering the Beatles first trip to America as seen through the cameras of Albert and David Maysles and filled with interviews of both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr as well as various celebrities and fans who share remembrances of the Beatles and the societal times in general!
Highlights Beatles appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and at the Washington Coliseum and the few times they were out on the streets and not locked up in their hotel rooms!
I think this Disney Special is a nice companion piece for new fans that have discovered The Beatles through the “Get Back” miniseries they aired a few years back. In that one of course they detailed the END of the Beatles career together, and it’s great to have a special that shows new fans just how HUGE , impactful and HAPPY they were at the beginning of their rise to stardom, laughing, joking, making music and playing with a pure joy that’s hard to top!
