It might be difficult to imagine, nearly 50 years after the Beatles broke up, that there would be anything new to say about one of the most celebrated and documented bands of all time. But Ron Howard insists that there is. The director’s latest project, The Beatles: Eight Days a Week—The Touring Years, is a 100-minute documentary examination of the five-year period in which the Fab Four toured and played live, first as a staple in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, then through the chaotic global whirlwind of Beatlemania, all the way through to their last concert at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park in 1966.
