Wissenswertes
The title of the titular song was a result of happenstance for which Paul McCartney claims credit. McCartney had been banned from driving for a speeding violation, and while travelling to John Lennon's home in a chauffeur-driven car one day, he idly asked the driver if he'd been working hard. The driver responded dryly, "Eight days a week".

Patzer
In the theatre special concert from Shea Stadium, George very visibly switches to his 12-string Rickenbacker guitar for "A Hard Day's Night", but during the song, there are a few shots of him suddenly playing his Gretsch instead.

Zitate
Reporter: What about the reports that you guys are nothing but a bunch of British Elvis Presleys?
Ringo Starr: [while shaking his body] It's not true. It's not true!
[the Beatles and reporters laugh]

I've really under appreciated The Beatles...

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!
