The Beatles’ Anthology yielded more than an audio trip through
the group’s history, it also produced the first “new” Beatles
song since the band’s breakup in 1970. Utilizing a demo recorded
by John Lennon in the 1970s, “Free As a Bird” became a sensation,
with many fans likening its premiere to the Beatles on The Ed
Sullivan Show. This is the story of how that track came to be,
its reception, and the history behind its iconic music video.
