“The Beatles! Backstage and Behind the Scenes provides a rare opportunity for music lovers to see 84 previously unpublished photos of the Fab Four’s first North American tour. This is the very first time these photographs will be accessible to Manitobans.
This fine art photography exhibit features landmark photos from the CBS Television archives, as well the work of LIFE magazine photojournalist Bill Eppridge – both known for their powerful, rare images of early Beatles’ history.” - Manitoba Museum
I have been to see this TWICE and not just because The Beatles are my all time favourite group ever:)
Whether you are a die hard fan like me or someone who appreciates a good photograph, this exhibit is well worth the trip to the Museum.
These photos were taken at a time in the Beatles career when they were first gaining popularity in the States, when they were still in their clean suites and mop top hair, before the mass hysteria of Beatlemania took over the world at full volume.
The photos capture their excitement and wonderment. Their humor and playfulness. But most important, these photographs capture 4 guys from Liverpool who just wanted to make rock n roll. Little did they know at the time just what was in store for them!
So really, go see this exhibit! You really won’t be disappointed.
