The Beatles

Down Under/on the Road The Beatles

The outbreak of Beatlemania in Australia and New Zealand in June, 1964 was, arguably, without equal anywhere in the World in terms of the sheer magnitude and scale of the social upheaval that took place. In spite of it's importance in many ways the tour was the chapter of Beatles history that the world overlooked. This video presents, for the first time, airport interviews and footage taken in the streets of the cities visited such as Darwin, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Brisbane. In addition is in-depth interview with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Jimmy Nichol who was deputizing for the indisposed Ringo Starr. An outstanding and important historical record and essential viewing for fans of the lovable moptops.
