В 1979 году продюсер The Beatles Джордж Мартин построил звукозаписывающую студию на вулканическом островке Монтсеррат в Карибском море. В этом райском уголке творилась музыка 80-х — у Мартина гостили Стинг, Пол Маккартни, Элтон Джон, The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran: для них это место было чем-то вроде богемного тропического ретрита, куда можно сбежать от всего мира.

George Harrison: All Things Pass
Himself
George Harrison was an English guitarist, singer, songwriter, and music and film producer who initially achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles, but went on to sell millions of critically acclaimed solo records. Harrison was referred to as the quiet one of the Beatles, often in the shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. However, he later acquired the respect of critics world wide and is now considered to be on the same level - if not surpassing - Lennon and McCartney as a song writer, a result of creating songs such as ‘Here Comes the Sun’ and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’. Rolling Stone magazine even ranked him number 11 on their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," and he is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

Восемь дней в неделю
Self (archive footage)
В 1962 году четыре подростка – Джон Леннон, Пол Маккартни, Джордж Харрисон и Ринго Старр – создали музыкальный феномен 20-го века под названием «Битлз». В 1963 году группа покорила Европу, а в 1964 – США. Их потрясающие мировые турне изменили молодежную культуру и, как многие уверены, положили начало современной индустрии массовых развлечений.

У группы появилось время для работы над несколькими альбомами, изменившими мир студийной музыки. Интервью, архивные съемки, потрясающие кадры концертных выступлений и глубокое понимание героев, позволят окунуться в невероятное приключение и получить ответ на животрепещущий вопрос: «Каково это – жить в то время?»

Как «Битлз» потрясли Кремль
Himself
В августе 1962 года режиссер Лесли Вудхед снял двухминутный фильм в Ливерпульском клубе "Cavern" с группой рокеров под названием «Битлз». Он организовал их первые выступления в прямом эфире на местном шоу в Манчестере и смотрел, как феномен "Fab Four" охватил весь мир. Двадцать пять лет спустя, снимая фильмы в России, Вудхед узнал о том, что, хотя им никогда не удавалось играть в Советском Союзе, легенда «Битлз» впиталась в жизнь целого поколения детей. Этот фильм знакомит с поколением советских Битлз и рассказывает о том, как "Fab Four" изменила их жизнь, включая вице-премьера Путина Сергея Иванова, который объясняет, как «Битлз» помогли ему выучить английский язык и показали ему другую жизнь.

All Together Now
Himself
George Harrison's friendship with Cirque founder Guy Laliberté led them to an inspired idea: bring together the 20th Century's most popular music with the world's greatest circus performers. Though George Harrison passed away before development began, band members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr; along with Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison; pushed the vision forward. Using archival materials, interviews, and footage of the rehearsals and performances that chart the creative process, All Together Now charts the story of this bold collaboration and the resulting live show. This GRAMMY® Award-winning film takes you from the studio, as musical directors George and Giles Martin reshaped The Beatles' original masters into an original, vibrant soundscape, to the historic opening night in Las Vegas.
Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of Smile
This film tells (using modern day interviews and archival footage and sound tapes) the story of how in 1967, while his band The Beach Boys triumphantly toured abroad, Brian Wilson was trying to push the boundaries of conventional pop music with a new follow-up to the Beach Boys' cutting-edge mega-hit, Pet Sounds. The new album was to be called "SMiLE". SMiLE pushed the envelope both musically and lyrically, and was supposed to out-do the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper record. But Brian wasn't able to sell the project to his band-mates when they returned. The project was shelved and Wilson's well-documented decline into depression, drug abuse, recluseness, and obesity had begun. Thirty-odd years later, Wilson announced that in 2004, SMiLE would be performed live in its entirety in London. This film tells the story of a damaged but healing artist bringing his greatest work to light.
Paul McCartney: Back in the U.S.
Self
In 2002, a 60-year old McCartney refocused the attention on his musicianship, staging a massive live concert in Cleveland, Ohio. The superstar, who went on to form the popular rock group Wings and had several hit records as a solo artist, performs a track list that covers all three phases of his long and prolific career, including the hits "Eleanor Rigby," "Live And Let Die," "Blackbird," "The Long And Winding Road," and "Mother Nature's Son." In addition to the 30 tunes that McCartney enthusiastically performs, seemingly immune to the ravages of time and aging, BACK IN THE U.S.A LIVE also includes candid behind-the-scenes footage of the rocker backstage and on the road.

Пусть будет так
Self (uncredited)
Вышедший в 1970 году и считающийся последним в дискографии the Beatles альбом на самом деле был записан в начале 1969 года в качестве саундтрека к одноименному фильму. Beatles очень хотели записать "живой" альбом, ибо не выступали с концертами с 1966 года. Как и любой другой альбом the Beatles, Let It Be неповторим и уникален. И хотя альбом не отличается студийной чистотой, это настоящий живой звук, к тому же это великие музыканты в полном расцвете творческих сил. Beatles были не очень довольны результатом (дело шло к развалу группы), но даже относительно менее удачный альбом великолепной четверки в любом случае на порядок выше лучшего диска какой бы то ни было иной группы.
The Beatles: Get Back...Winter of Discontent
This is a "Fly on the Wall" look at The Beatles' recording sessions from productive days at Apple Studios January 23 to 29, 1969. Most of this footage did not make the final cut for the film, Let It Be. We see the Beatles chat, joke, tune, rehearse and try some serious attempts at recording. Over 75% of this footage has not been seen in this form, meaning inferior copies of some of this footage has circulated, but contained few moments of audio that matched the film.
