The Beatles: Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years

Posted on October 17, 2016June 11, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years,” October 17, 2016, theater.    Well done documentary looking at the Beatles as a concert band. Wonderful live concert footage of a story many of us lived, but its arc is that of exhaustion and disgust with touring as a band for teens as these men grew into thoughtful, conscious adults. They toured because they had terrible record contracts. When they finally free themselves and go Apple, they take control and produce amazing music as recording artists rather than teen heart-throbs. The theater cut includes 20 minutes of wonderfully restored parts of the 1966 concert at Shea Stadium. The good, the bad, the ugly. I hope that, like us, you sit near folks who like to sing along. It’s half the fun. A pleasure to see
