Summary: For Hardcore fans only
Review: Casual Beatles fans may wanna skip this one. It's basically a bunch of clips of them going from place to place facing screaming fans and the like, along with a handful of interviews. Nothing earth shattering.

But there are a few intriguing moments. There is a clip of Pete Best (original drummer) trying to maintain his dignity during an appearance on "I've Got a Secret." Reactions and fallout from John Lennon's infamous statement about the Beatles and Jesus (the statements from KKK leader Bobby Shelton are almost incomprehensible) and the near arrest of the Bay-tels at a Minneapolis motel. The clip of our guys in the Shakespearian skit is a bit had to follow with the screaming crowd. Not much here to write home about. But it's interesting to watch at least once or twice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only for hardcore Beatles fans
Review: I absolutely loved this DVD. I was a little skeptical at first because it was so cheap, but it was such a bargain. I wouldn't recommend this DVD to the casual Beatles fan, however. It is filled with rare interviews with the boys, from various cities on various tours. There's no music in it, just an hour of talking, but it is well worth it. The interviews are treaures, to see the interaction between the four members. They were very close and it shows. The Pyramus and Thisbe skit is so hilarious, I would have bought it just for that one scene. There are many numerous hilarious moments withing this DVD. Like John saying that The Beatles is just a name "you know, like shoe. We could have been called the Shoes for all you know." Things like that. There are some things on this that are also in Anthology, but it is still well worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST FOR EVERY BEATLES FAN!!!
Review: This one-kind of compilation offers a fascinating, entertaining, and surprising look at the Beatles with rare footage.
