Editorial Reviews

They were four ordinary lads from Liverpool who became the biggest rock band the world had ever seen. Wherever they went, they won hearts and sold millions of discs and cinema tickets. What was so special about them that they could fill concert halls and airports form Tokyo to New York with thousands of fans? Why did the dream die and what have "The Fab Four" left behind? In short, who were the Beatles and how did they conquer the world? In this program, we look at their progress week by week through the best days of their lives with footage of fans and interviews, destinations and encounters, good times and bad. The Beatle Diaries tells you all you need to know about the significant events of the Fab Four’s glory years. Travel with John, Paul, George and Ringo from their early days in Liverpool to San Francisco, where they played their last concert together.

DVD Extras:
Beatles Across America rockumentary and complete Len Dodd TV Show interview.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise, June 4, 2006

By 

MichaelFla "MichaelFla" (Homestead, Fla) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beatles: From Liverpool to San Francisco (DVD)

This DVD is one of those little, unknown, "Beatle-Surprises" that pop up once in a blue moon (with the upcoming CirqueduSoliel Soundtrack coming up as the "next-big-thing")... I consider myself to be quite the Beatles' completionist and I had never seen the majority of these interviews in their entirety and much less in such pristine quality... As stated by other reviewer; A must-have! ... Worth the price of admission alone is the lengthy Bonus-Feature with everything and more concerning "We're More Popular than Jesus" remark... Watching those teenagers be interviewed in a record shop was a major nostalgia trip (to see those walls adorned with the "latest releases" like in the olden days!)... Get this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Rare Footage & Interviews / A Must Have, November 22, 2005

This review is from: Beatles: From Liverpool to San Francisco (DVD)

This very affordable DVD is surpringly full of rare Beatles footage, newsreels, and interviews. Even though there is no Beatle music in "From Liverpool to San Fransisco" (if you want to hear Beatle songs in glorious Dolby Digital 5.1 sound I urge you to get the Beatles Anthology DVD box set), the material will keep you glued to your TV from start to finish.

I highly recommend "From Liverpool to San Francisco" to anyone who wants to expand his / her knowledge of the greatest band in Rock n Roll history. The DVD is well produced, has good to excellent audio / video quality, and covers a lot of ground. The bonus footage includes a fairly in depth look at the 1966 "greater than Jesus" controversy, complete with interviews with teenagers in Memphis, Tenn. Awesome stuff for you Beatles historians out there. You need this!
