This is amazing!
I had no idea this was coming out. All four Ed Sullivan shows that featured
live performances by The Beatles,
including the '65 show, presented in their entirety with other acts and
commercials! This is what I've lusted after
for years, but assumed would never be officially released. Now it's
available on DVD! Incredible! I can't wait to get this!

Are they complete performances? I've been putting off buying it because I
keep hearing conflicting stories as to whether or not the songs are edited?
Does anybody own this and can shed a little light as to if the songs are
complete or not?

This set is NOT the 9-disc Rhino video set of various rock performances.
THAT set has edited performances of some tracks.
THIS set is just the complete four one-hour shows on which The Beatles
appeared. No editing -- even of the other acts!

I didn't know about it until I saw the commerical on TV, yesterday.
The ad says that the audio has been enhanced.
I wonder how good the video is. I'm tempted to order it right away, but
I'd like to see some reviews first.

This is the best news I've heard in years. Amazing. The bootleg of the
shows has been around, but it is horrible quality. To watch this on
DVD will be sublime! Merry Xmas indeed!!

I agree. This is the most significant new Beatles release since the

It is indeed sublime. It would have been even better if they'd thrown
in the promos as a bonus.

I ordered the DVD online and the total came to $44.85.
You save 5 bucks by ordering online instead of by telephone.

would still like to see some reviews. I've bought some official DVDs and vids
that were of poor audio/video quality. I think this release is somewhat dodgy
myself.
