The Unseen Beatles (2007) Rockumentary

THE UNSEEN BEATLES (2007)

The Unseen Beatles is a fascinating look at the group's chaotic touring history during 1963-66. After viewing this BBC rockumentary, one understands why the Fab Four spent their remaining years as a studio band.

By 1966 the Beatles had played over 1400 gigs, released 15 Number 1 singles, made 7 albums, toured the world 4 times and sold the equivalent of 200 million records. At the height of their popularity they pulled the plug. They would never tour again.

Featuring several first-person accounts and some rare footage, including home movies from the final concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park, the overall film reveals a darker, more harrowing portrait of Beatlemania .
