Weak

We love classic rock documentaries, and The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (2016) isn’t bad. But it doesn’t have much new, at least not for me.

As you might guess from the title, it focuses on the Beatles days as a touring band, from Liverpool to Hamburg to America to the roof of Apple Studios. The main takeaway is that their equipment was pitifully insufficient for the stadiums they wound up in. Combined with the insane screaming of their fans, that made them pretty much inaudible.

We do get some nicely cleaned up performance footage, but I don’t feel like there was much I hadn’t seen before. A lot of the best seemed to be borrowed from the Maysles’ movie. Watch that instead.
