Simply, vintage footage of the greatest band in history, directed by one of the greatest in the business. A must for any Beatles fan.

I was a little apprehensive to buy "Eight Days a Week" only because I already own the 'Beatles Anthology". I was wrong. I bought the Deluxe version, disc one is the documentary, and disc two is the extra features. The documentary goes from the very early years of pre-Beatlemania, to the rooftop concert from 'Let It Be". I'm not sure the interviews with Whoopi Goldberg or Sigourney Weaver, were necessary, and you get the feeling by the end of the film, the band was TIRED of being on the road. Disc 2 includes interviews with all for Beatles, throughout the years, and people that knew them through their 'bigger than life' career. Disc 2 only goes to 1965. This is an excellent documentary that shows 'musical history' in the making. Ron Howard outdid himself and did his homework to put this film together . Bravo !!!

Have been a fan of The Beatles from the beginning. Was totally engrossed in this movie

Rinse Howard's documentary of The Beatles during their touring years...

Entertaining and informative documentary covering the history of the Beatles' years on stage. The surprise is that the film continues beyond 1966 when the Beatles stopped touring. It briefly explores their years in the studio and the five albums made after 1966. It culminates w/ their rooftop performance atop Abbey Road studios. Included are dozens of film clips and stills of the group rarely, if ever, seen by fans before now. Guaranteed to bring a smile to all who were there or wish they were. A second disc of of special features covers even more details of the band's early years and includes rarely seen live performances. A thick booklet filled w/ pics and commentary on how the Beatles became the personification of the 60's youth culture completes the package.
