I am a Beatles fanatic. I saw them live in 1966. The best book, of many, I have read about the band is " Shout" by far.

This is actually a great discussion of approaching historical documents, knowing how they can be flawed and how they can be useful.

Thanks for an unbiased video on how some books can be flawed and biased especially when it comes to protecting an image. We see too much of this sort of stuff and i would rather see how flawed some of these musicians are rather than put up smoke and mirrors to hide some distasteful actions that may have occurred. Everyone makes mistakes so when i see some people seemingly being "perfect" i am immediately suspicious as to what they are hiding

What a fantastic video from my favorite year have a wonderful day ❤😊 also my favorite book from the beatles is the one with the 1964 front cover of the group

I like the Lost Album Of The Beatles! John by Cynthia Lennon is also great (however bias).

Apple to the core is a great book, but it's likely put of print.

The best Beatle book is “The man who gave away the Beatles” by Alan Williams, the Beatles first manager, who started them gigging their arses off in Hamburg.

You didn't include any negative reviews of Weber's book. Nathan Phillips on Goodreads rated it 3 out of 5 stars.

"My only objection to Weber’s findings, which are broadly fair and reasonable, is that she often seems to take a dim view toward any kind of integration of criticism into biographical writing, whereas I think that the critical elements in a book like Norman’s are one of its strongest attributes, and also unfairly puts writers like Robert Christgau through the historiography wringer, which given that Christgau knew Lennon personally and is a rock critic rather than a historian I think is very unfair. Critics have no reason to be “impartial, ” nor should you want them to. But while this book is a little dry and utilitarian, Weber herself makes a compelling case and does an excellent, extremely helpful job of organizing the conventional wisdom and public perception of the Beatles into its various phases while making the point that most writers, for all their strengths and weaknesses, have missed the bigger picture. Like me, she considers Tune In a game changer — I’m so ready for volume two."

How abput a video on the Beatle's acting careers?

[NMQhq]

I'm a huge fan of Bob Spitz's Biography "The Beatles." Very balanced, long enough to cover their careers accurately and in depth from the befores to afters. Love it.

Revolution in the Head beats them all hands down.

Well, I checked your channel and decided not to subscribe, reason, you allegedly suggest unbiased readings about The Beatles but your channel is biased towards McCartney, you barely touch on Lennon's life which is a crucial element to the band. It's fine to be a fan of Maca, but it makes me question whether you're providing us with accurate information or just claiming to.
