As the truth of Beatlemania and all that it meant began to dawn on The Beatles, home movies such as these became increasingly important to them, not as rockstars, but as normal guys in their early twenties from ugly, dirty Liverpool, England. Videos such as these shed light on the people behind the swollen name and brand of The Beatles, and offer a fascinating look into a group of very extraordinary friends who simply loved music. Some of the videos above can be seen in the early episodes of The Beatles Anthology. I love watching footage such as this. Everyone has seen their performance at Shea Stadium in 1965 or their Apple Studios Rooftop performance in 1969 countless times, but home footage really brings it home who they were as people, not as musicians. So enjoy!
