The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years
Simple, solid, straight forward doc using contemporary interviews with the surviving members and others (including two celebrities who were at Beatles concerts as kids), and archival footage for the deceased members. It all focuses on the touring years of the band, and how Beatlemania and the relentless schedule of a single every three months and an album every six months wore them down and led to becoming studio musicians only. Not particularly revelatory, and sometimes the performances are a little long, but if you’re a Beatles fan, it’s an easy, well-made watch.
