"If you love the Beatles, this is a fantastic DVD in content and quality. I was amazed and pleased to see so much truly rare footage, including much material that was not shown on the "Anthology." There are rare color interviews with the boys, backstage mooments and just oddities that will amaze anyone who loves the Fabs. My favorite is a brief color interview with John in '66 when he was in Spain, filming "How I Won the War." I've never seen this clip before, despite amassing a large Beatles video library. For American viewers, there's much material from 1963, before the Beatles hit our shores and changed all of our lives.Whether you're a Beatle newbie or a seasoned collector, I guarantee you will love this collection and watch it again and again."
EXCELLENT!

"THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE, BECAUSE IT SHOWED RARE INTERVIEWS AND STUFF FROM TV SHOWS THAT HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN SEEN. MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE "A HARD MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT DREAM" THING, WHICH WAS SORT OF A ROMEO AND JULIET PARODY THAT I HAD LONG WANTED TO SEE BUT COULD NEVER FIND. THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR ALL BEATLES FANS! ..."

"I'm always wary of all the "rare" Beatles stuff out there, but found this DVD a great surprise. There were things on this DVD i had only seen pictures of before. Some of the interviews provided here are somewhat unintelligible and obviously incomplete, but you get to see the Beatles in many different settings just being themselves. Clips from the Hollywood Bowl, the claustrophobia of Beatlemania and a Shakespearean comedy skit are the best treasures. Quality is good... no silly narration... more a collection of clips than a structured documentary."
BEATLES FOREVER!

"This is a masterpiece. This is something that all will treasure, from inveterate Beatles' fans to people just becoming familiar with their work.This dvd contains a lot of bonus footage, such as the Hollywood Bowl Concert as well as some interviews. This is a fresh look at the Beatles, the nonpareil band who has raised the musical, artistic and cultural bars. This is a timeless classic that is sure to be cherished. I love it!"
A cheapie, but the only one out there

"If one doesn't have the 'legendary' Washington DC "first USA concert" in their DVD collection (since the Apple film "First U.S. Visit" has been deleted), this budget DVD has most of it. It's a DVD edition of an old grey market video by the oldies video label Goodtimes - it's also their usual so-so quality, but nice to see that historic show back on the market, and for such a reasonable price. So, until the Beatles put "First U.S. Visit" back on the market, this isn't a bad purchase. The other material on the disc is fairly entertaining as well, most of it common but out of print, including skits from a TV show, interviews and press conferences.For a reasonable price, you get a nice glimpse of early Beatlemania, and an actual live concert. You could find worse ways to spend your money."
