I'd start with more concert footage, uninterupted, to capture the audio, more on India and more on their social/club scenes with other rock luminaries of the time. What's in your DVD?  |

Foremost I would agree with you that the very first thing to be done would be to find all available concert footage and clean it up, including the audio. I'd include every TV appearance, too.

There seems to be an abundance of Shea Stadium footage that would serve this purpose...but this very thought made me lament the regrettably under-documented Candlestick Park concert. Being their last concert (if you want to call it that, as opposed to "scream-fest"), you'd think the Maysle brothers or someone equally as reputable cinematically would've been there to professionally capture this event (even if they DIDNT know ahead of time this was to be the live performance swan song..)..I mean, everything else was documented..too bad SF Aug, '66 wasnt given it's due..) Granted, there must've been thousands of teeny boppers there that day w/ their cheap prehistoric Super 8 millimeters, but what can really be gleaned from that 40+ years on...?? ..modern digital photo enhancement can do wonders..not miracles !! LOL) For me, any decent footage of Candlestick found (and maybe I'm just all wrong about this, dunno) would be recieved w/ open arms. What we're left with from this seminal event, unfortunately, is the Beatle equivalent of the Zapruder film...

It really amazes me that, as famous as the Beatles were, there is not more concert footage available...it seems as though some sharp marketing guy would have suggested doing a film of the Boys playing their set just for the cameras. Then you could have distributed that film to movie houses all over the place and had "Beatle Bashes"...show it in a double-feature with "AHDN" or "Help!". Whynott?

Those concert ideas are really great! I imagine there is technology to "clean" the crowd noise away and keep and embellish the sound, it would be great to hear them live, unvarnished and technologically as pure as possible.  |

know what i'd like to see? studio footage of them recording snippets...ideas...songs...and rejects. i've seen the shea stadium concert repeatedly. i've seen a 1965-66 japanese concert. i think i know what to expect at a beatle concert. but live in the studio? song suggestions getting rejected...or better yet...evolving into what they were to become.
thats whats on my dvd.

Carnival of Light. If they can find that and put it on, I would be a happy chappy!

Great suggestion, Chris, just give me stuff before Let It Be, that was painful!  |

How about: They call it a wrap in the studio, the tapes of the sessions are duplicated and given to each Beatle, then they go and drink and smoke in the privacy of their homes to listen to their un-folding genius and WE ARE THERE!  |

My daughter and I watched the Anthology recently (she's nine and is just getting into the Beatles). I hadn't watched in when it aired back in the mid-90s (I don't remember why) and I thought it was great. However...
If they were to redo it, I would like to hear from some other people who were THERE. I understand that the concept was the stick with the Beatles themselves as well as a select few others (Neil Aspinall, George Martin, Brian Epstein, and a little Derek Taylor). I would like to have heard from Yoko, Cynthia, Linda, Patti, Jane Asher, and Mo. It would have been very interesting to hear their perspective (especially Yoko...we all know how the OTHERS felt about her being in the studio with them...what was it like to be the object of all that hostility?). I also kind of wish that they had gone into the post-Beatles era...

That's a good point, Alexander....the person I'd most like to have heard from was Mal Evans. Unfortunately, he was killed in 1976 by police in Los Angeles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_Evans |
