Summary: While waiting for the DVD, consider the Laserdisc!
Review: I found a new Pioneer laserdisc version of the Beatles Anthology on the Internet and the quality of the video and sound is quite remarkable. Until the DVD comes out, this laserdisc is worth the investment as used laserdisc players are available for around $200-300. Another nice feature of laserdisc is that there is no copy protection, and one can make a nice copy to play on your VCR.

Summary: I'm waiting to buy the entire collection on DVD!
Review: I lived one of the happiest days of my life one Sunday afternoon, in july 1967, when the Fab Four appeared on TV recording "All You Need Is Love", live from England. By then I was only 16 and it was impossible to conceive that one day you could own those unforgettable scenes on a recorded tape! It was almost a 30 year long delay to have the chance to treasure them in your home and reproduce them as many times as you wish. One day the joy came to an end, when my number 7 tape (where the song is included) stopped working properly. You may ask why I didn't buy another one. The answer is: This is "DVD Era", I don't want to live the same trauma again with untrustworthy VHS cheap tapes! I thought: "Soon I will be able to get them on DVD format". But I'm getting older and older and I still can't have my "All You Need Is Love" scenes back on DVD: Maybe "When I'm Sixty Four".....

Summary: Criminal that it is not on DVD
Review: This set is amazing. There are enough reviews here that accurately essay the content on the 8 cassettes; any hardcore Beatle fan already has this anyway, or has at least seen it or has it on her wish list. The more important issue is, why in holy hell is this set not available on DVD?! Unbelievable.PUT THIS ON DVD!

Summary: just fantastic
Review: I loved watching this collection about the most outstanding band in todays history. Not only are they all so very talented, but they were all very funny. It made me laugh. You can also see that not only were they a famous band, but they had lives of their own and families, wives, and children. It was interesting to see all the things they had to go through. It was hard for them all. I am so glad this has been made available for us fans, to get to know each one of them in a personal way. I especially enjoyed knowing about george harrison as he was always my favorite. He was such a kind sweet and gentle man. May we always remember george and john, paul and ringo, through this collection and through all of their wonderful songs. i think this collection should be made less expensive so that everyone can get a chance to own it and get to know about the great Beatles! its that good!!

Summary: Absolutely incredible
Review: If I needed some band to love, The Beatles are the ones that I've been thinking of. This is 10 hours of the best band ever. They played the best music, had the most exciting concerts, were the most creative, and the best part is -- all the footage you could ever want is right here. Here's a quick run-down of the tapes:
#1: The births of The Beatles, footage of Hamburg and the Cavern. #2: The first album, "Please Please Me," on the Polladium and the Royal Variety Show. #3: The first trip to America, the first world tour, the substitute drummer Jimmy Nickel, and "A Hard Day's Night" film. #4: Footage of the concert at the Hollywood Bowl, "Help!" film and recieving the MBE. #5: The historic Shea Stadium concert 8/15/65, the making of "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver," clips from the Budokan concerts and the difficulty of playing the newer songs live. #6: The last concert at Candlestick Park 8/29/66, the making of "Sgt. Pepper" and Paul talking to the press about taking LSD. #7: The two films "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Yellow Submarine," the death of Bryan Epstein and the world-wide TV performasnce of "All You Need is Love." #8: Footage of the group playing "Let it Be," "Hey Jude," "Revolution," and "The Long and Winding Road," and the Apple rooftop gig. And that is "The Long and Winding Road."

Summary: The Beatles Anthology-A Masterpiece about the Masters of Pop
Review: The Beatles Anthology is a fact-filled, fast-paced encyclopedia of The Beatles development from
their boyhood days in Liverpool, until the end of the band in 1970. It contains hours of archival
footage of performances, rare insights into the development of their music, and is packed with
interview footage of the two surviving Beatles, as well as taped and film interviews with John
Lennon and George Harrison. It also has incredible footage of their producer George Martin,
who analyzes and recounts how their recording process evolved from their first sessions in
1962, right up through their last recordings for "Abbey Road." It also contains historical performance footage from the early days of "The Cavern Club" in
Liverpool, to their first American performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show", and their first
concert in Washington, D.C. You will also see footage from Shea Stadium, The Hollywood Bowl,
to concerts in Germany, France, Japan, and Australia. The anthology also has unique out-take
performances of many of their greatest hits, and obscure and un-released songs, which provide
further insight into their creative brilliance as singers, songwriters, and musicians
You will find film performances of many of their greatest songs, which were the precursors to
modern day music videos, a style of musical promotion invented by The Beatles, to promote
their music in the post touring days of the group. But throughout, you will find the wit, humor,
excitement, and creativity that made The Beatles a world-wide musical and social phenomenon.
The honesty, detail, and variety of information is not only a chronicle of The Beatles, but why their
music influenced and spoke for an entire generation of people around the world.
It is an historical look at a magical and trend-setting time in our history, as seen through the eyes
of The Beatles and those who were closest to them. It is a documentary that gives incredible insight
into an entertainment phenomenon whose influnce reached around the world, and even after nearly
forty years since they burst on the contemporary scene, their influence is still being felt to this day.
