I believe it's also on Hulu still. Well worth the view: a stellar cleanup of old film/footage. My girlfriend, who isn't as much of a Beatles fan as I, said she finally "got it;" the energy they exuded on stage, their affable nature with the press, and the whole of Beatlemania. Like she said, "It makes it much easier to imagine your mother at the concert she went to, along with your grandfather stuffing his ears with cotton balls because of the screaming."

Haven't seen it yet, but it would be cool if there is footage of their first concert in the US, which was here in DC at the Washington Coliseum on Feb 11, 1964, my birthday. I was there!!! It was awesome, what I could hear of it with all the screaming girls.

KCOE schedule on the Net has the repeat of the Beatles Touring Years, tonight. Though, my cable problem guide does not. I set DVR, just in case.

It was all fund raiser. A few minutes of the movie, ten minutes of fund raising.

Those are super irritating! There should be an app, that once you donate $$$, the patronizing, frequent 15-30 minute long begging, pleading, cajoling, imploring, panhandling, beseeching... torture could be ash-canned.

I went ahead and bought the DVD.
