    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally, finally, finally...this essential part of The Beatles history...of rock history...is available to us. With the technology to Giles Martin that wasn't available to his dad 40 years earlier, the concert is as electric to us now as it was to the kids in the seats...and the thousands of others in the trees bordering the Bowl. One of the greatest live albums of all time is available to us again...this time, better than ever… Expand

    A legendary concert brought back to life thanks to today's technology and it sounds better than ever. A must-have for hardcore Beatles fans (and also a great introductory piece for those who're starting to appreciate them)

    What Live At The Hollywood Bowl, and its parent movie, shows us is their primal power. The sound and the fury (not to mention the banter) that conjured a roar unheard since, both on and off the stage.

    Thanks to digital tweaking, boy does it capture them swinging and the four bonus songs are most welcome too. [Oct 2016, p.115]

    This remastered version certainly sounds clearer than the muddy original. ... As far as the songs, go, there are a few surprises, just some frenzied romps through the band's greatest hits at this point. [Oct 2016, p.47]
