It’s restored, it’s vivid and, for Beatles fans, it’s Must-See TV:
Magical Mystery Tour, the 1967 TV special filmed by and starring the Beatles, right on the heels of the
Sgt. Pepper album. See John Lennon shovel spaghetti onto a woman’s plate in a restaurant – with an actual shovel. See George Harrison play the pavement – as a musical instrument – on “Blue Jay Way.” And again: For my full review, and an interview with the documentary’s producer, see
Bianculli’s Blog. And for a review of this documentary and of the
Magical Mystery Tour special, check out Friday’s
Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR.
