"There's no switching off… You're on 24 hours a day."

If you’re a fan of The Beatles there’s a new documentary coming out from director Ron Howard called The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years. The doc includes some rare never-before-seen footage of the iconic band as they toured the world to play their music. It covers the years from 1962 to 1966, which were some of the craziest years for the band as they rose to stardom. It also features interviews with those who lived through it. It's really cool to see some of this footage of The Beatles that we’ve never seen before. I’m looking forward to learning more new things about these legendary musicians thanks to this doc. 

The Touring Years is based on the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962-1966) – the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. Ron Howard’s film will explore how John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came together to become this extraordinary phenomenon, “The Beatles.”  It will explore their inner workings – how they made decisions, created their music and built their collective career together – all the while, exploring The Beatles’ extraordinary and unique musical gifts and their remarkable, complementary personalities. The film will focus on the time period from the early Beatles’ journey in the days of The Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966. 

The Beatles played Shea Stadium on August 15th 1965 in what was to be the first rock concert ever staged in a stadium in front of more than 55,000 people. The event was filmed by 14, 35mm cameras by Ed Sullivan Productions and Brian Epstein and for the very first time, the fully restored, remastered, 30-minute performance will be screened as part of the worldwide theatrical release of Academy Award®-winner Ron Howard’s authorized documentary feature film, The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years.

The movie will be released on September 16th in theaters and on Hulu.
