Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and Ron Howard relived some of the glory days of the Beatles in a new roundtable discussion about Howard's new film The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years.
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years combines archival footage, fan-generated clips and the band members' personal reels spanning from 1962 to the group's last concert in 1966.
McCartney recalled a particularly scary tour incident.
"We didn't know this project was coming," McCartney tells Billboard of The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years. "That's the great thing: We love that things keep happening. Once, we were going from London to Liverpool in a terrible snowstorm — you couldn't see the road. The van skidded down the embankment, and there was no way to back up. We're standing around, the four of us. Somebody said, "Something will happen." That is now my mantra. Sure enough, we got a lift."
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years hits theaters on September 16 and then Hulu the following day.
