Ron Howard’s “Beatles: 8 Days A Week” movie opened to rave reviews last week in London, bringing Paul and Ringo to the red carpet. Here are a few fun fact about this ‘must see’ movie…
Ringo was the glue that made this movie, shares director Ron Howard. Ringo provided the best memories, memorabilia and materials used to make this movie.
The Beatles opened the doors to fans of all color, something that was a bit un-common in the early 60s. The boys went overboard to prohibit any discrimination for fans buying tickets or being on the grounds of their concerts.
Manager Brian Epstein doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Epstein is responsible for the first American tour, the Ed Sullivan appearance, down to setting the fashion rules for the early Beatles promotional events and concerts.
The Shea stadium concert may be the most memorable live concert from their 1st tour, but instead of all the amps and sound equipment you see today on stage, the music was piped through the stupid antiquated PA system! It’s likely that none of the fans actually head the songs always doe to all the screaming.
