Not up to my expectations

I love the Beatles, but feel somewhat disappointed in this DVD. Possibly my expectations were raised too high reading these reviews. I already own the Ed Sullivan shows, so that was nothing new. The larking around was the biggest disappointment. I'd heard so much about the humour of the Beatles that I expected to be rolling in laughter. Actually, I found this ad libbing somewhat boring after a while and scarcely worth a repeat viewing. I wasn't 'there' for this historical event so it doesn't have the nostalgia impact it might have for older baby boomers. I'm, I guess, a young baby boomer.

Two parts I really did enjoy, but they were very short. The Collisseum show was better than I expected, but simultaneously saddened me for the pathetic technology and stage management - even though I understand it was standard practice for the time. The site of Paul manhandling Ringo's wobbly platform 90 degrees every song is just not something I could show my kids. That's a school band, not the single greatest rock band the world has ever known.

Secondly, George singing a Bob Dylan song was unexpected and a treat - but again, all too brief. I don't regret owning this - I could never regret owning anything by the Beatles. I have long wanted to acquire The Anthology, but now feel more rather than less hesitant if it is all like this.

How the Beatles conquered America

Fascinating document -- easily the best rock doc I've ever seen.
Funny, illuminating, and a great way to present the historic Sullivan appearances as well.
Any Beatles fan must buy this, and anyone else who wants a great look behind the scenes and at the same time get a feel for the youthquake they caused.
Absolutely essential.

Beatles

This DVD is wonderful, especially for people who grew up listening to the Beatles, it is like a walk down memory lane and after all, who is better than the Beatles??

A Fly On the Wall to the Greatest Band In History

This film is a must have for all Beatle fans. This is the real deal, a documentary film with full access to the Beatles from the moment they touch down in New York to the moment of their return to England. Don't be confused-this is not one of those cheap /thrown together films of old newsclips. Granada TV in England hired the Maysles brothers to capture the whole 1st American visit on film to be shown in England.

The most striking feature of this film is its unmistakable influence on "A Hard Day's Night". You are in the Beatle's car as they drive from the airport to the Plaza Hotel. You are in the Beatle's suite at the Plaza, watching themselves on the news, and taking calls from DJ's in search of a quick Beatle endorsement. You are with them as they leave the hotel to perform on Ed Sullivan. You are on the train to Washington DC for their first live concert in the states...

If this film didn't exist, it would be every Beatle's fan dream film!
