shniggens Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I just finished watching the Beatles Anthology on DVD. It was good. LOTS of footage. Good interviews. Are there any other DVDs that would be considered essential for Beatles fans? I would like to see more studio footage and outtakes. Preferably during the later, drug induced period of their careers.

Mats Olsson. Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Even though it is a film about rather than with The Beatles, I suggest that you check out "Backbeat". "A Hard Days Night" is available on dvd with some good bonus material. There's also a new DVD about The Beatles first US tour available. Then, of course, there are plenty of really good books...and more than a few that aren't very good /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination!

kylen Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Good Call - I thought Back Beat was respectable - I guess I'll pick up a copy I was kinda thinking about it a little...that's from their old Hamburg early Rock'n'Roll days as I 'member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I have the Anthology on VHS. Does the DVD have a lot more material on it? Enough to have me invest in "The Beatles Anthology" once again? And I thought "Backbeat" was pretty good, too. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitefangI waited for the DVD version to come out and it does have additional material including the then remaining 3 members jamming on acoustic guitars and drums, them playing around with levels/altnerate tracks of the master of a couple tunes, and some in depth stuff regarding the videos. As a fanatic, I thought it was definitely worth the $50 at Best Buy - plus, random access is a great thing... Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
