Best documentary ever on the Beatles.

If anyone has Howard Goodall's appearance on Desert Island discs on tape I would be eternally grateful if you could post it on YOUTUBE.

Thanks.

Its so funny how people are like, The Beatles are some of the best performers ever! But, the majority of their live performances absolutely sucked!!

I guess America will never know the meaning of a true performer. Instead they will criticize their every mistake and beat them down instead of lifting them up...What a country we live in.

im having trouble understanding the part at about 4:30. he said that pop music stuck to the old notes like a vengeance. then he said pop was drifting farther apart from classic. can anyone explain?

Goodall is fantastic really informative and unpretentious. I wonder if the Beatles themselves were aware of the observations he makes.

I love how everyone cries!

I would suggest this man should be given some kind of award.....

Mozart is my religion. I don't consider it an insult to compare the Beatles to him!

OK, I'm not even a minute in, and I'm already a little annoyed. One of the styles the Beatles "revered" was Motown, which was (and still would be by today's standards) the pop-music antithesis of "primitive sound"! Raw, sure, sometimes, but never really primitive. (The BEATLES' early sound was raw and primitive!) I'm going to keep watching, obviously, b/c I do love the Beatles, but good grief, how do you get something that important THAT wrong w/i 20 seconds?? o.0
