Showing every piece of Beatles film they could get their hands on. Sad to see that LC is now a DOLLAR STORE!- memories of JAWS, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, WestWorld, THE SEVEN-UPS, PINK FLOYD The Movie (Live at Pompeii), ELECTRAGLIDE IN BLUE and so many, many others that I viewed there.Īddendum: I recall a few years after this, that a local PBS station, WOUB in Athens, Ohio, broadcast a HUGE Beatles marathon, c.1980 or so. I recall being severely stoned once watching Blue Jay Way. Super 8mm sound film "digest" version of MYSTERY TOUR from Niles Films was always a crowd pleaser. I was just glad to finally be seeing it! The theater we saw it in was one of the first "twin" cinemas in our area and in 2002- was gutted to be turned into a DOLLAR STORE! 75 cents! This weekend, afternoon show at 1pm, was more or less advertised as a "kiddie matinee." At 14 years old, I didn't realize at the time how unusual or rare this showing of MMT was.Ĭan't recall picture or sound quality to save my life. SUN 01/05/75- M= Saw MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR with friend at Lancaster Cinema. We can say we lived to tell about this: (Now over THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO!!!) In the wake of the new DVD release, I recently exchanged emails with a friend: We Beatles fans were just happy to finally see it! We didn't have 45 years between to reassess the 'value' of it. You have to understand it was only 10 years from the release, and was never really shown in the USA. And I didn't know that the side 2 songs weren't in the movie even though the sleeve delineates "words to all the show songs"! I thought it was weird and hard to follow. I was very surprised that the movie did not really follow the 24 page book on the LP sleeve. It was exceptionally exciting to see this stuff at the time.
When was the magical mystery tour movie first released mod#
Bad prints of Washington Coliseum, Shea, Tokyo, Hey Jude, Mod Odyssey, etc etc. I digress- sorry) It was part of a 4-hour Beatles spectacular, featuring lots of footage I'd never seen before- which are commonplace today. It's one of those 1 screen theaters that used to show great old films. (30 years before I actually moved here! The Rialto is still here, though closed down, unused and decrepit unfortunately. I first saw Magical Mystery Tour on 1977 at the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena.
