Synopsis:

The Magical Mystery Tour was the first Beatles film project following the death of Manager Brian Epstein in August 1967.  The film was unscripted as various 'ordinary' people travelled on a charabanc bus, having 'magical' adventures en route.  The movie soundtrack was released in the UK in December 1967 and in 1968 received a Grammy Award for the best album reaching the coveted #1 slot in the US for eight weeks.  

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour Memories is an upbeat rockumentary film featuring the vivid memories of those who witnessed the making of the cult Beatle movie, The Magical Mystery Tour, in 1967 and features a celebrity cast along with anecdotal stories and unseen 8mm home movie footage, as well as eye-witness accounts from fans, on-lookers and the cast of the movie.

Featuring Tony Barrow (Beatles press officer), Mike McCartney (Paul McCartney's brother), Miranda Ward (journalist and friend of the Fab Four), Spencer Davis (Spencer Davis Group), Tony Bramwell (Beatles road manager and close friend of Sir Paul McCartney), Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Do Da Band), Freda Kelly (principal secretary to the Beatles Fan Club), Dame Peggy Spencer (choreographer), and Victor Spinetti (actor and close friend of John Lennon), sharing their memories with Victor supplying a fascinating commentary to the film.  

"This is a happy, upbeat film" comments David Lambert, producer and director of Arthouse Pictures, who produced the movie.  "Probably the last time the Fab Four were all still getting along."  Keith Badman (author and Beatles expert) said "I have seen the rough cut screener and can't wait to see the finished programme.  It is fantastic."

This film is a must have for all Beatles fans worldwide and an opportunity to look back fondly at the heady days of the swinging 60s.

Bonus Features: Beatles related stories from Mike McCartney, Freda Kelly, Spencer Davis, Victor Spinetti, Tony Bramwell and Miranda Ward.

Doing Sgt. Pepper/With a Little Help From My Friends: I think the Liverpool guy is doing With a Little Help.


Here's Billy Corgan singing Julia. I thought he sound amazing. Considering I never really thought he had much of a voice: BTW, it did sound a bit better live. The kids kept asking me why he was bald. It was funny. At one point they saw a bald guy behind us and one of them shouted: that's him! That's the bald guy! Heh, kids rule.


Cheap Trick and Billy doing Good Morning:


Golden Slumbers. This one was AMAZING. Zander's voice is just amazing. I want to punch whoever it is singing along though. Sheesh!


She's Leaving Home with the Liverpool guy doing John's part. His name escapes me for some reason!


Cheap Trick doing Lucy in the Sky. Love how Robin Zander affects the British accent. Again, sounded better live, but you get the idea. Two of the little girls we took were screaming their heads off at the chorus. So cute.


Rob Laufer doing Within You Without you. Never listen to the song on the CD, but thought it was cool.


The encore of All You Need is Love. The stupid people wanted to walk out at this point, so I didn't get to watch it. Only hear it. At least now I can see it! I love it!!!!


And OF COURSE: A Day in the Life. Gave me chills. But of course some idiot felt the need to sing along: ARgh!
