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.

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.
