The Pop music revolution that went on to rock the world and change society forever, didn't begin or end with the Beatles alone! Despite the many popular myths and the attempts to airbrush the truth from music history, the beat is live and kicking, stronger than ever in the city that gave birth to it all.
'Help!' was The Beatles' second feature film and their first in colour released at the height of their iconic history in 1965.
The Beatles Trilogy The Beatles Trilogy is the essential DVD for all fans of the Fab Four as it charts the meteoric rise of the boys from Liverpool through the hits of the sixties right up to the final days of John Lennon. Seen through the eyes of rare footage and newsreel reports this intriguing 3 DVD set gives a truly brilliant insight into this group of lads who literally conquered the globe and became the world's very first super group. George Martin talks extensively about...
Smile? In 1966, the legendary abandoned Beach Boys' album and "teenage symphony to God" left its visionary, Brian Wilson, with the devil to pay. Disc One of this double DVD set offers David Leaf's glorious documentary "Beautiful Dreamer", interviewing all those involved with the project's development (save, bizarrely, any of the surviving Beach Boys, least of all Smile's most trenchant naysayer Mike Love) and charting Brian Wilson's ascendancy to the cusp of creative immortality and subsequent crash-and-burn to a bedridden, burnt-out recluse. In the South Pole-style "production race" with The Beatles for popular music's brave new frontier (a contest more self-justificatingly important to Wilson than to Lennon/McCartney) it was to be The Beatles who planted the flag and Wilson who perished in the snow; Smile was to be Brian Wilson's nemesis. The albums' eventual completion and re-recording (hats off to Brian Wilson's musical sidekicks The Wondermints) in 2003 was the happiest and unlikeliest conclusion to pop music's most fascinating and infuriating chapter. The entire live performance of Smile in Los Angeles - beautifully filmed on Disc 2 - is a fitting happy ending. The work - especially the waxing and waning chorales of the "Child Is Father Of The Man" section - is a marvel; beautiful, bold, coherent and deft enough to leave the myth - the great "what if?" of 20th Century music history - intact. --Kevin Maidment
300 people squeezed into The Cavern Club in Liverpool on 14 December 1999 to watch Paul McCartney perform at The Beatles' legendary venue for the first time since 1963. Joining Paul on stage were Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour Deep Purple drummer Ian Palce the legendary Mick Green and Pete Wingfield. The atmosphere and the unique occasion combine to make this a fantastic rock event. Tracks include: Honey Hush / Blue Jean Bop / Brown Eyed Handsome Man / Fabulous / What It Is /
“The Love We Make”, a film directed by Albert Maysles (“Gimme Shelter”) and Bradley Kaplan, follows Paul McCartney as he journeys through the streets of New York City in the aftermath of the destruction of the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001. It also chronicles the planning and performance of the benefit concert that took place less than six months after the attacks: “The Concert For New York City”. “It was an honour to be able to help New York and America at that time in its history,” said McCartney of the concert. “There was a feeling of shock and fear in the air that I thought we could help alleviate with music and the fact that so many people stepped up to join us made for a very uplifting evening for us all.”The film features performance clips from the benefit concert and backstage moments with many of the performers and other famous attendees.
Sir Paul's live performances are actually improving as he gets older, which makes Paul is Live--a document from his tours of the early 1990s--arguably better than his 70s dates, but not up to the level of his triumphant new millennium concerts. However, this is a Beatle we're talking about, and how bad can it be to hear immortals such as "Drive My Car", "We Can Work it Out" and "Here, There and Everywhere" sung by one of their creators? The problem is the newer stuff. Credit to McCartney and band (including then-wife Linda, guitarist Robbie MacIntosh, and guitarist-singer Hamish Stuart from the Average White Band) for refusing to merely wallow in nostalgia. But tunes such as "Biker Like an Icon" and "Peace in the Neighbourhood" are no great shakes any time; placed side by side with "Hey Jude" and "Yesterday", they fare even less well. --Sam Graham
Brian Wilson On Tour is a documentary film celebrating the music of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson. Following Brian through the U.S. and Japan on his first-ever solo tour this is an intimate portrait not of Brian ""the genius"" but of Brian ""the working musician "" choosing songs teaching them to his 10-piece band and ultimately performing them live for the first time ever in front of electrified audiences. Includes 24 live performances interviews and guest musicians like Neil Youn
Paul McCartney's Live at the Cavern is essentially the video counterpart to his album Run Devil Run and is equally addictive. The legendary Liverpool club--where the Beatles and a great many other Mersey bands cut their musical teeth--has relocated to new premises in the same street, but it's still the most intimate of venues (it holds all of 300 punters) and is of course the obvious place for Macca to stage this wonderful rock & roll retro extravaganza. Oh yes, there was also a secondary audience of several million who watched the show as a Webcast, but at least this meant they weren't queuing at the bar. The music, however, isn't obvious at all. Rather than go down the tried and tested route of rehashing all the rock & roll classics everyone knows, McCartney decided instead to create a show focusing on his own personal favourites from his formative years. This means that we get stuff like "Fabulous", "Blue Jean Bop" and "Honey Hush" rather than the usual over-revived material. This combination of an instantly recognisable style with rather less recognisable songs is as refreshing as an ice-cold Tizer. The all-star band includes Dave "Floyd" Gilmour, Ian "Purple" Paice (looking alarmingly like Mel Smith) and even Pete "Eighteen with a Bullet" Wingfield. The performance is preceded by an interview with His Macship conducted by Jools Holland. --Roger Thomas
