DVD Reviews of The Beatles Anthology

DVD Review: The beatles Anthology
Summary: 5 Stars

I think I was 11 when the Beatles performed a concert at the Odean Theater in Bornemouth, England. This documentary took me right back to those days and then into my teenage years.
It is fascenating indeed. Even though I was there, in a sense, when it was all happening. I learned many things I had never known about the group.

DVD Review: A retrospective
Summary: 5 Stars

If you grew up with The Beatles as I did, you will connect strongly with this anthology. It couldnt be better since we finally have a biography spoken from Paul, John, George, & Ringo's perspective. The honesty offered from them in regard to the past, their music, their lives, and travels is surprising and a refreshing standpoint from all of the written material available. The reunion with the remaining three at the time was as touching as it gets and made me realize, this was a retrospective of not only their lives....but mine. They have no idea the positive impact they had on my life and I will eternally be grateful for that. This is a MUST have for all Beatles fans even if you didnt grow up with them. The information it provides will certainly bring you closer than you could ever be, and its worth every minute.

DVD Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a Beatles fanatic and loved this documentary. Even at 10 hours, I still wanted more. My wife is not a fanatic and still enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended.

Summary: 5 Stars

Great stuff. I was there at the San Diego concert in 1965. Been a fan since their first record. What a nice walk down memory lane. Always pleased with my Amazon purchases. T. Smith

DVD Review: Awesome material.
Summary: 5 Stars

Woow!!... I gave this item as a gift to my girlfriend (who's more of a Beatles fan than me).
Obviously I watched it as well and was amazed at the quantity of footage and the way the story is told. I recommend this item to any Beatles fan or anyone who just happens to know The Beatles ever existed. You will definitively will look at them with different eyes.

Description of The Beatles Anthology

Studio: Emi Music Distribution Release Date: 11/29/2005

Initially broadcast as a TV miniseries to go with the series of three Anthology double-CD albums, this set of eight documentary tapes has the heft and scope of one of Ken Burns's expansive projects. Still, unless you are either a historian or a truly committed fan, you'll find yourself with way more material--particularly about the Beatles' early lives as lads in Liverpool--than you'll want to watch. The documentary material is copious, including early performance films and tapes, at the point before they found their true voices. The actual Beatlemania years--beginning in 1963 and concluding in 1970--feature extensive performance films, as well as home movies and archival material. The best parts, of course, are the interviews with the Beatles themselves, who produced the entire thing. Along with reworking two previously unreleased John Lennon tracks as "new Beatles songs," the Anthology includes some unseen Lennon interview tapes so that his acerbic voice can be heard as well. This stands as a comprehensive document of that heady period, the second coming of rock & roll, as the Beatles took what Elvis had started and expanded upon it exponentially. The tapes give a solid sense of the historical context and the way these four musicians changed the world around them in the 1960s. --Marshall Fine
