Default Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour

This was hard to find, but I recently tracked it down, but was a little disappointed. It is not really a movie, more of a home video. Of courses the songs are great and there are some interesting and funny moments. On balance though, it is a wonderful piece of Beatles history and worth watching. Any comments?

I bought a copy for a dollar on VHS at the local swap meet a year back. It was exactly what I expected; a silly romp with the Beatles with lots of bright colors. It was occasionally funny but it's definitely impossible to take serious. Historically important for the band, but nothing too fantastic.

I was just reading the Electric Kool Aid Acid Test book about Ken Kesey and how him and his groups of Merry Pranksters most likely inspired the Beatles to do the tour after they all showed up to the San Francisco show on the Furthur acid bus (and after they had gotten their names around underground circles). Great, great story, and all so close to home for me.

Thanks for the review, Dave. My boys wanted to see it, but I heard it wasn't worth watching. We'll have to watch it after all.

The segment featuring "I Am the Walrus" is classic The Bonzo's segment ("Death Cab For Cutie") is mega fine. The camera work on the "Flying" segment was very good. Apart from some moments (John as a Waiter), the rest of the show left me a little unimpressed.

This actually made the US Midnight Movie cinema circuit back in the 70's through some small company, and it would have been great to see it at some Late Show then - a more proper atmosphere for the film in my opinion. It's only a curio watching it at home today.

Still, the songs are great!

what would I gather from people (I haven't seen it yet) is that the best parts are the "music video" parts where they perform songs - the rest of it is unfocussed crap

all the music video parts I've seen - they're mostly extensions of Sgt. Pepper, or at least Sgt. Pepper in visual form
