Just watched it today and thoroughly enjoyed it, great to see the entire Shea stadium concert at the end.

Visually this is great.  I loved it.  I had heard that it didnt really offer anything new...which is pretty much true.  But what a great film.  It captures the essence of those times for the group.  Once again Paul got to perpetuate his we're-not-going-to-America-til-we've-got -a-hit myth; I thought that was actually cool and funny.  It followed the usual narrative of how the touring kind of went downhill as time went on, but it didnt go overboard.  All in all I just loved this film.  I think a casual observer would really love this film too.  The video footage and the stills are really really great.


A friend dropped it off tonight, and I just finished watching it.  He got it on ebay for $8.
