The Beatles: A year in review, the year ahead

The year 2011 won't go down as one of the biggest Beatle years, but it did have its moments. For John Lennon, in the aftermath of the remasters in 2010, there really wasn't much to follow. Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band played a few shows. Yoko also continued to make philanthropic contributions. And Sean made news by appearing at an Occupy Wall Street rally.Yoko was to spend New Year's Eve 2011 in Oklahoma City as part of a two-night concert stand. Martin Scorsese's much-anticipated documentary on George Harrison aired on both sides of the ocean. The documentary, a disjointed portrait of his Beatle and spiritual sides, received mixed reviews from fans. But apparently due to HBO licensing agreements (and possible repeats in the U.S.), was only released on DVD in the UK, an unnecessary move. Fans also questioned the small amount of audio bonus material included in the expensive bonus package.
