    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The two new songs, "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love", were originally John Lennon demos. The three surviving Beatles added instrumentation to the demos and released the songs as singles in conjunction with the release of the special. In addition, John hadn't filled in the middle eight section of the demo for "Free As A Bird", so the surviving Beatles wrote a new section for that, which, according to Paul, was one of the reasons for choosing the song. It allowed them some input.
    • Quotes

      George Harrison: [on The Beatles' second visit to Shea Stadium] Yeah, okay I don't remember ever going there twice...

    • Alternate versions
      The performance of "All You Need Is Love" from the TV special Our World (1967) was originally in black and white but was colorized for the purpose of this documentary. Some other bits of black and white footage have been colorized, all of which use photos from the period as a reference for the colorization.

    Magnificent, a perfect rendition!
    The last episode was so heartbreaking. When 'The End' started playing, I couldn't stop crying. It is the best documentary I've ever seen.
