Product Description
Description
Apple Corps Ltd./Cirque du Soleil have confirmed an October 21, 2008 North American release date of the feature-length documentary `All Together Now' on DVD, which will be marketed and distributed worldwide by EMI Music. The DVD release follows acclaimed film festival screenings across North America, including a sold out opening night U.S. premiere at the Silverdocs Festival in Washington D.C. where the Washington Post observed that 'All Together Now' "cuts into the heart of [LOVE]." Albert Maysles calls the film "A perfect combination of the best of two worlds - the Beatles and Cirque du Soleil".
The documentary details the story behind the unique partnership between The Beatles and Cirque du Soleil that resulted in the creation and 2006 launch of LOVE, the stage production still playing to packed houses at The Mirage in Las Vegas, and the experimental Beatles soundscape album of the same name which garnered two Grammy Awards for producers Sir George and Giles Martin. The film is dedicated to the memory of Neil Aspinall, former CEO of Apple Corps and an Executive Producer of the DVD.
`All Together Now' faithfully recounts how the LOVE project came into being, borne from the personal friendship between George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte. George saw how the twin talents of Cirque du Soleil and The Beatles could be fused into something new and totally original.
In addition to their roles within the main film, Sir George and Giles, along with engineer Paul Hicks, also feature in a bonus feature titled "Changing The Music" which reveals in fascinating depth how the music was created and the challenges they faced. They explain how they sourced some of the individual instruments and effects and how they were encouraged to experiment.

Great back story for a fantastic show!,
By no - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Beatles: All Together Now (DVD)
How many times have you seen a live show and then wanted to re-live the occasion? Well, this is an opportunity to do just that but with lots of bonus material. I received this DVD for Christmas and have already watched it twice. I saw the Cirque Du Soleil show in Vegas and was blown away. Then to get to watch the way it all came together was so interesting. These people are incredibly talented. I was particularly interested in the story of Sir George Martin and his son Giles and how they remixed the songs for the show. We are all so familiar with this music but the way they took it to another level is going to be the start of a whole new trend. The documentary showed the care that was taken to ensure that the finished product would honor the Beatles, George and John in particular. I loved to see Paul and Ringo enjoying the show. And watching Dhani Harrison was like seeing his father all over again. It was very touching. I was also surprised by how much of the show is actually seen. You really must try to see the show in person, of course. Watching this DVD makes you want to see it again. But even if you haven't seen the show take a look at this documentary. And if you are a Beatles fan, you are going to love it. It is great!

By Randolph G. Mcneil "Randy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Beatles: All Together Now (DVD)
Went to Vegas over the holidays and was fortunate enogh to get highly discounted tickets with great seats for the 10PM show Xmas nite. Vegas is not my thing but i would go back just to see this show Again.Upon exit from the show you are corraled through a Beatles gift shop. They wanted $45 for this DVD. Waited until i got home ,came to amazon and saved $30. the insight that this DVD offers is amazing. when you see what happened to start this ball rolling and then the impossible task of making it happen..,.it blows your mind!.Great interviews with Niles & george Martin. A must for any Beastles Or Cirque Fan!!

All You Need Is Love,
By S. D. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Beatles: All Together Now (DVD)
I haven't seen the live show of Love in Vegas (but want to). Many people have posted saying how much this reminds them of when they saw the show. Well, like I pointed out, I haven't seen the show and all I can say is watching this makes me want to see the live show all that much more.
I was worried that this was going to be just a repeat of something I'd seen on television earlier, but it definitely wasn't that. Lots of footage from the various acts in the show. Extras show how and why Sir George Martin and his son adapted the songs to the show. Of interest is that this is the ONLY Cirque show that doesn't have a live band performing along with the show. I truly envy those of you that HAVE seen this one live. Someday I'll get there. For now, I can dream by watching this amazing DVD over and over again! |
