I think youāve covered off TV pretty well there. Now, when it comes to records released for Thanksgiving we have Record Store Day Black Friday to thank for many over the years. Check this article about every Beatle and solo release for RSD and RSD Black Friday over its 17 year history:

I just finished watching the Documentary it was so good to see clips/Pictures that never seen before!
What a sweet, refreshing and nostalgic documentary! I loved every minute of it and it made me realize all over again how much I love being a Beatles fan. They changed history by just being themselves and that is so great to know. They deserved it.
Five stars from my heart!

I enjoyed the documentary as expected! I appreciated hearing and relating to the stories and emotions of fans who were there 60 years ago. Beatlemania lives on!

Sorry to be negative but I gotta say I was disappointed in this film. I had hoped the likes of Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi, with the backing of Apple and the resources available to them, would have kicked a goal. But they managed to take all the excitement out of the 1964 US moment and make it seem, well, boring.
It was disjointed from a story-telling perspective and jumped around all over the place. Some of the talking heads reminiscences were not only odd in the extreme, some were not even about 1964 (thinking here of Jack Douglas' long, drawn out Liverpool story - it is from December, 1965; and Smokey Robinson misremembering his first meeting with the band, which also could not have been in 1964....)
It all just came out as being a bit flat and uninteresting - which is saying a lot.
Having said that there was some great cleaned-up footage, and the concert material was exceptional. There just should have been more of it.
Seems like a wasted opportunity.

Totally, donāt forget the pointless dream/bra story too !
The footage was great of course but it reminded me of two different films in one, each fighting to be the winner and niether was. Sorry but it was disappointing compared with the Beatles First US Visit which could have been extended instead

Incredible trailer, great, perfect, a historic moment captured in great fragments, unique moments, when the 4 jewels of the world conquered America with their artistic jewels, unfortunately I haven't seen the documentary
