Culturally the Beatles were a global phenomenon - changing all facets of popular music for good, but not just because they were a band that made great recordings. How big a part did performing in concert play? Would they have achieved what they did without an early grounding in the dance halls and clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg? After their first year as a headline-grabbing attraction, why did The Beatles soon tire of the relentless pace of Beatlemania? Through print and images from the visually-astounding "Daily Mirror" archive, "Across The Universe: On Tour And On Stage" answers these questions, examining in detail the Beatles as a live act between the key Beatlemania years of 1963-1966 and to mark the event's 40th anniversary, The Beatles' last ever performance - an impromptu session on a central London rooftop. "Across The Universe: On Tour And On Stage" takes the reader on a magical mystery tour though ballrooms, theaters, airports, limos, and stadiums across the globe and along the way, illustrates why The Beatles were seen but not heard throughout the 1960s.

Allan's review from March 2010
28 Feb 2010
By A. O. Gard
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The book arrived today and I was sadly disappointed! Mostly shots I have seen many times before, offering nothing very new in the the text. My favorite tour by The Beatles (1966) was completely glossed over! I had expected some really good stage shots from the U. S. tours but no, it was not meant to be! Even the live shot from the Budokan was horrible and very little if any stage shots from the 3 dates in Germany!! I was also looking for more color shots from the 1965 U. S. and British tours, but no! The book could have been better served with more memorabilia (IN COLOR!!) like: tour posters, tickets, programs.
All in all, it's OK. It's not the best Beatles book on their tours. Although, I have to say, some of the 1963 shots I had never seen. I would recommend it to novice Beatles fans but not to someone who has been following them for 40 years or longer.
Thank you,
Allan
