Beatles Anthology Review 
2008-03-31
This series was done under the supervision of the surviving Beatles at the time (mid 90's) and is basically the story of The Beatles from their perspective. There are lots of interviews with Paul, George, and Ringo with footage from interviews with John. There is a lot of insight into why things happened the way they did. (i.e. their decision to stop touring, Brian Epstein's death, etc.) It starts from their Liverpool roots and follows their fame to Abbey Road. There is lots of excellent footage and I was particularly pleased that they included the "videos" that the band created some twenty years ahead of MTV. Because of the involvment of the surviving Beatles in the production, some of the conflict that happened within the band isn't mentioned or is mentioned briefly. The strongest things about this series are the interviews and the music. I highly recommend it, especially if you're a Beatles fan.

When I borrowed this DVD set from our Bass player, I couldn't believe the treasure of music and information about the most innovative music group of the last century. It's simply awesome! Get it now while it can be had.

A must have! 2008-03-02
If you are a Beatles fan, this is a must have! Starting from the very beginning, all the way to the present, this is the story of how the Beatles came to be, what they were, and how they still are today. With interviews with Paul, George and Ringo (and footage of interviews with John), it really gives a personal point of view to go along with photos, images and footage of the fab four. I especially enjoyed the first couple episodes, which focuses on their early career. Well worth the money, something every Beatle fan should own!
A "MUST" for any Beatles fan!!! 2008-06-02
I bought this anthology as a present for my dad who is, still, the greatest Beatles fan in the world. He really wanted to see some live concerts, but I wasn't sure whether these DVDs would satisfy his curiosity. I watched the 5 DVDs with my dad and they were unbelievably entertaining. They present the Beatles in a new light - these guys were very funny and easy going. It was a pleasure to follow their career from the very beginning! The DVDs contain live concerts, interviews and personal footage. A MUST HAVE!!!

This!!!! should have been called "The Complete Beatles" 2008-04-28
I remember in the 80's the vhs documentary called "The comlpete Beatles" which was only two hours. then in 1995 we had the privilege of seeing the the three night documentary of Anthology which wetted our lips a bit , especially with new Beatle songs to come with it. So I hev been in a Beatles faze recently ,so after two years of thinking about this release , I decided this past Sat. to finally purchase this set on Dvd. I decided to watch a chapter a day so i wouldn't cram it all in and get bored , so that sat night I watched part one of the DVD , then Sunday morning I stared with part two and just kept going because I could not get enough. Now I have finished watching the set , and I still want more.
This is more complete of a history on the band that the actual titled "Complete Beatles" will ever be. I will cherish this set for as long as I live.
