Looking for 'Around the World with the Beatles'

Does anyone know anything about a documentary film named "Around the World with the Beatles?" I am sure I saw this film in a mainstream movie theater on Long Island around December, 1977. It consisted entirely of concert footage of the Beatles in concert in several countries, including some concerts where Jimmy Nicol substituted for Ringo. It is not listed in imdb or mentioned anywhere else on the web, and no one else seems to remember it. Please note: it is NOT the BBC special called "The Beatles: Around the World" which is completely different.

I remember Around The Beatles (1964) from back then.

However, Jimmie "Jimmy" Nicol is not listed on the full cast credits. I recall seeing footage of his Beatles stint but I don't remember if it is in this instant title.

His Wikipedia page does not have any film appearances, however the Wiki can sometimes be incomplete.

Is that the one where they do the Pyramus and Thisbe scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream?

I have only seen stills from the skit you speak of here, and whether it was in the production that the OP is talking about, I do not know.

Around the Beatles, anyway the one I saw and remember all these years later, was pretty much built around a concert tour.
