On February 7, 1964, hysteria broke out in the USA when the Beatles made their first visit. 60 years later, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr look back. It's mixed with documentary footage from behind the scenes, their famous live performances on American TV, and memories from many of the then-young fans who tearfully think back on what they experienced so long ago.

It was originally supposed to be a TV series that followed up on the first film from 2016. But instead, the continuation of the story about Vaiana in Oceania is coming to the cinema. Three years after the first adventure, she sets out on a new journey, at the request of her ancestors.

At first, it was thought to be a joke. But the comedians behind the term "Yacht rock" came to love the slick, previously so hated, West Coast rock from the 1970s. In this documentary, they highlight artists Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and Christopher Cross, among others, who are flattered to be remembered at all.
