Unplugged Beatles - Most Excellent!!!

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2008)

Excellent movie that should be seen on the big screen and with the sound turned up!!! This movie made me realize just how good some of the Beatle tunes are that I had not previously thought highly of. Remember when Eric Clapton came out with his unplugged version of Layla which in it's original form wasn't a favorite of mine, well the unplugged version is. This movie is what I would compare as the unplugged versions of a lot of the Beatle music. This movie may be a love story but that is not the focus or even the reason for making this movie, it's all about the music and based on that it succeeds or fails. I think it definitely succeeds. The Janice Joplin and Jimmy Hendrix look and sound alike versions of some Beatle tunes are the highlight, but the best new rendition of a song is sung by Joe Anderson and is Happiness is a warm gun. Wow!!!
