The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years

The Beatles stormed through Europe's music scene in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums. However the relentless pressure of such unprecedented fame, that in 1966 became uncontrollable turmoil, led to the decision to stop touring. In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of albums that changed the face of recorded music.

You could put literally any footage of The Beatles walking through an airport in the 60s and I’d be locked in like it’s Heat. Just four little guys getting increasingly sick of being worshipped. Unbelievable stuff. Lots of footage I hadn’t seen before (that Shea Stadium bit insane), but even the stuff I had felt new when threaded through the right little jokes or cutaways. Loved the bit about refusing to play segregated shows. Didn’t know that! Incredibly cool. Loved Paul going full “we were just lads having a laugh” while George clearly hated it the whole time. You do kind of wish it spent more time on the weird stuff — the burnout, the breakdowns, the post-touring implosion, but fair enough: that’s a different film. This one’s about the mania, the speed, the sheer momentum of it all. Ron Howard clearly loves the lads (and that’s fine! We all do!) and he’s not trying to dig up dirt or Make A Statement. Just a lovely 90 mins or so of Beatlemania with some real gems sprinkled in

Whilst not a huge (or even a little) Beatles fan, I enjoyed this documentary more than I thought I would. The behind the scenes and concert footage are great, but what fascinated me more were the thousands of swooning fans at every concert and the frenzied fandom that was out of control. Remarkable and scary.
