When I was a kid, i spent more time listening to my parents Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix LP's than I did their Beatles ones.
I have to admit I always thought the Beatles were a bit too poppy and overrated, how wrong I was!!
Until watching this, I totally under appreciated the cultural impact The Beatles had around the world, and sheer volume of quality work they put out, of varying styles and influence...especially when they experimented more later in their career.
They did all this whilst facing a lot of pressure while under the media spotlight, and we're able to remain honest, fun, and true to themselves without selling out.
I would have liked to see a little more on the bands history once they had stopped touring in 1966, but nevertheless the focus on the Beatlemania period is really well done, and worth a watch for any music fan, regardless of genre!
