The Disney+ documentary Beatles '64 features rarely seen footage of the rock stars.
’s record for most No.1 songs on the Hot 100 chart and the record for most No.1 albums in the history of Billboard’s tracking.
And sixty years later, there is still behind-the-scenes footage of that two-week visit in February 1964 that has not been widely seen. Now, it is available on Disney+. The documentaryrelaxing in between a frenetic schedule of radio, TV, and concert appearances. Viewers will see McCartney feeding seagulls bread out a window, and Harrison drinking a glass of water and strumming on a guitar. In one bit, Harrison is lying in the overhead compartment of a train.Director David Tedeschi.
Filming coincided with the Brooklyn Museum’s exhibit of candids that McCartney took on a camera during the ‘64 U.S. visit, so Tedeschi was able to talk to the rock star and get a behind-the-scenes look at the show.He talks about writing “She Loves You” at his Liverpool home with Lennon, and his father arguing that the famous line “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah” should be a more polite “she loves you yes, yes, yes.
Tedeschi found it revealing to see the Beatles—professional performers—a little bit uncomfortable with all of the publicity in this newly restored footage, like one scene in which Lennon is asking cameramen why they are filming because he thought they were doing a radio segment. It’s a very human moment.
“When they were on the plane, amongst themselves, they worried that nobody would be at the airport,” Tedeschi explains, “and although they had two number-one hits, they had no idea that they would become a phenomenon.”TIME may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
