Beatles reunion set to be DVD record-breaker
A reunion performance by Beatles Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison is to be seen by the public for the first time.
The session, filmed in 1994, is the only time the three played together following the band’s split in 1970.
The rare hour-long footage was shot at Harrison’s studios at Friar Park, his mansion in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
It is due to be released at the end of next month and could be one of the biggest-selling DVDs ever.
The trio got together 14 years after the death of fourth Beatle John Lennon to record a string of rock and roll classics.
The songs, which the band used to play in their early days, include Blue Moon Of Kentucky, Ain’t She Sweet and Thinking of Linking.
The session was filmed in June 1994 for possible inclusion in the 1996 Beatles Anthology video but in the end only a minute-long segment was shown on US TV.
Harrison died in November 2001 after a long battle with cancer. Lennon was shot dead outside his home in New York in December 1980.
