Superb concert / documentary with a history lesson into the Beatles' impact on the former Soviet Union. The Soviet government attempted to surpress western influences, especially rock music, but nothing they did could keep the Beatles from seeping into the hearts and minds of the populace. A funny but telling moment in the film describes how public telephones were cannibalized in order to use the parts to build make-shift phonographs. The Beatles are given credit throughout the film as one of the many western forces which contributed toward the eventual fall of the Soviet empire. Best moment of course is when Paul breaks into "Back In The USSR"... the place goes nuts. McCartney loads up the play list with an abundance of Beatle music, and you know that can't be bad. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! ** BnB Beatles Depot **
