FFF 53 — Beatles ’64 (2024)

beatles-64-doc-5787424

Finished watching this fifteen minutes ago, on Disney+, which I get “free” as part of a phone package.  Rating 10/10 in capturing the mania of that tour.  So many good archival footage of photos and video, interviews with “the boys,”  and interviews with those who were at at least one of their concerts.  Also interviews and archival footage of interviews with musicians who inspired them and who were inspired by them.  As if that wasn’t enough, there are some memorable stories in there I hadn’t heard before that will delight fans.

I thought Scorcese directed, but he was one of the producers.  It was directed by David Tedeschi.

imdb has a little info on it but not much

wikipedia has a little bit more

The Beatles website has a rather brief blurb.

      1. Yep, incredible and surreal. I think it was obvious it was only a matter of time until John, Paul, George and Ringo no longer could take Beatlemania.

      Lots of new (to me footage and pics) and some stories I hadn’t heard before. It may all be old news to you. Can’t wait until you see it and post your thoughts on it.

    All those Beatles US albums from ’64 have all just recently been re-released to tie-in with the movie. I wouldn’t mind the complete box set but it ain’t cheap!

      Thanks for the info. I’m sure that the box set is way beyond what my limited income can afford. I’d like to win it in a contest :)

    Thanks for the tip Lisa, I don’t have Disney but worth a month to get this show I think.

      I think so also. You might even get a 30-day free trial?

        One can hope, but I used one for Get Back earlier this year.

          Randy I did the same when Get Back came out and then canceled it. Then they added Disney+ and HULU, (HULU has many annoying ads though) to my phone package.

    Oooh, thanks, Lisa, that is something to check out for sure. Will have to re-subscribe to Disney + for this and the next season of ‘Only Murders in the Building.’
