We all know the moment. February 9th, 1964 four young men from Liverpool step onto the Ed Sullivan stage, changing culture forever. Seventy-three million people watched The Beatles perform that night, the largest audience in television history. It was an event that united a nation and signaled the birth of youth culture, as we know it today. By the time the band quit touring in August of 1966, they had performed 166 concerts in 15 countries and 90 cities around the world. It will examine the impact of those years on each of The Beatles – the toll that touring took on their relationships and the effect it had on their musical evolution, as well as the colossal boost the tours gave to their lifestyle and fame. The film will also explore the incomparable electricity between performer and audience that turned the music into a movement – a common experience into something sublime.
