Ron Howard does a great job with the touring Beatles. Great music and behind the scenes clips.

Well made documentary about the touring years of the Beatles. Not sure what I was expecting but felt a little underwhelmed after viewing it. Not a ton a new info that isn’t out there in other documentaries about the Beatles. It does…

Familiar material well put together which I watched with a smile on my face, joy in my heart, and the occasional mist of tears. Life-long fan speaking here.

After trying and failing to watch Peter Jackson's "Get Back" I decided to watch this version because I love the Beatles music. It was much better and my family and I even watched all of disc 2. It's that good.

I was in high school, so remember. Ron Howard does great job! Take this as pure entertainment! Listen to very end, then disk 2, which tells why really respect Beatles.

There's some great footage of the Beatles live, in which they were frequently drowned out by screaming fans. The history of the band is familiar, but there's a lot of great stuff here. Beatles fans will love it. . .yeah, yeah, yeah. Get…

Excellent documentary about the Beatles! The DVD does an excellent job of capturing the social and cultural phenomenon that were the Beatles. I was just a child at the height of their success. I remember begging my parents to allow me…

The story/history of The Beatles has been exhaustively told and retold in the 45+ years since their split, so there's not much to reveal here in this new documentary. What makes this film interesting is the focus on the "live" Beatle…

A good look at the Beatles "touring years," from 1963 to 1966. This film did show early Caravan shows, but due to lack of footage or direction, the performances in Germany was not shown or discussed, finishing with their "final" live…

GREAT double DVD early Beatles documentary. Lots of fun video and excellent clips from their early performances.

Great for people who know absolutely nothing about The Beatles. Very disappointing for hardcore fans like myself (I watched their plane land at JFK on 7 February 1964). Howard has covered no new ground. The new interview bits from Paul,…

Must see for anyone because this DVD shows the impact the Beatles had on world wide culture. Also, this band kicked ass live! Must see for Beatles fans because of the rare footage on-stage and in the studio. I just read "Beatles '66"…

Really good doc, told mainly in the words of the Fab Four, themselves. The live music is easier to hear than ever and surprisingly good. Sadly, no second disc in the copy that I borrowed. From other reviews, I think it must be getting…

The copy I received form CALS was just the bonus disc, and did not contain the movie.

I've seen so many documentaries about the Beatles that I didn't think I could learn anything new, but this little gem by director Ron Howard has some hidden nuggets that are worth seeing. "Eight Days a Week" focuses mainly on the time when…

Make sure you set aside an extra couple of hours to watch the second disc with the special features - it is well worth your time!

Sadly this is not the movie, it's the bonus disc from the deluxe double DVD set. Weird.

This documentary chronicles why the band was fed up with touring, but brought them into the studio where they did some of their most acclaimed work. Very interesting and has some great concert footage from their world-wide tours and some…

If you are a Beatles fan, you will really enjoy this documentary of what actually occurred behind the scenes during their touring years. It shows the origin and evolution of the iconic rock band, its many albums, as well as the influence…

This is not the movie. It's the bonus disc from the 2 DVD set.
