Just finished it, slightly drugged up and with COVID.
I think it could have easily been covered in 2 parts under 4 hours total. I found myself skipping a lot of beginning of part three.
As a side note. It made me think a lot of different ways of making music and how it brings joy and catharsis to those who are blessed making it. I’ve got to say though, as someone who does both, solo and band stuff I have to say that bands, especially if friendship and mutual musical understanding is involved, cannot be beaten and is up there with most pure spiritual states.
Although not central to the conversation here, here are multiple accounts of their illicit substance experimentation: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/did-the-beatles-take-drugs/
My dog rolled over onto the clicker last night and signed me up for Disney. I managed to abort it before my card got charged, but now this thread has me reconsidering.
Then you can consider to watch “McCartney 3, 2, 1” serie. 6 episodes 30 minutes each. Fascinating!
Disney +
I’m looking forward to watching this weekend, but I also have fond memories of Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s original cut.
He was also the director of the world’s greatest music “video”: Jumpin’ Jack Flash.
He didn’t do too shabby of a job on the promos for Child of the Moon and 2000 Lightyears from Home either.
Ha! I went to university with him. We used to have classes together. He was just as weird then as he ever was.
I have to give film director Lindsay-Hogg huge credit for his decision (and fast action) to hide a mic in the kitchen to record Paul and John's conversation about George leaving. That recording gives us an honest insight into the relationships inside the Beatles.
Also his idea of setting up the hidden camera in Apple Records reception to capture the poor young coppers sent to stop the noise on the roof.
Except I heard they are considering a bagpipe player instead.
The Beatles’ Legendary 1969 Rooftop Concert audio is newly mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell in Stereo and Dolby Atmos:

Getting Back to 'Get Back': The Long and Winding Saga of Glyn Johns' Lost Beatles Album

I had a teacher who told us (her class) that she went out with Frank Zappa in college. She said he used to walk backwards across campus.
Ravi Shankar's daughter does a tribute rooftop performance, she's not a bad singer
Check out some of her solo albums - she reinvents her style every couple of albums, but what she excels at for me is a kind of jazz/country crossover.
I wasn’t a fan of the Beatles, now I am.
I didn’t have a good impression of them as individuals, now I adore John Lennon, Ringo and even dig Paul. Unthinkable.
As filmmaking it’s superb.
It’s definitely a must watch.
PD: I still can’t stand “Let it be”, “winding road” or “Hey Jude” to name a few. In contrast I didn’t know “Dig a pony” before the doc and it’s bloody brilliant.
Oh yeah I love her stuff, everything from jazz to country to dark indie. Her collaboration with Danger Mouse was excellent:
I agree, I too was not a fan of the Beatles but this show completely changed my point of view on them. Particularly John who I found really annoying as I was growing up.
I couldn't stand Yoko. But here we see her breaking the tension between the boys by doing her screeching thing, with her and everyone else seeing it as comedy, I think. Also, she never seemed to interrupt--she was always reading, apparently there at John's request (imagine trying to work with your spouse at your side all the time!). I give her contribution a plus here instead of a minus.
To see what followed watching this video of the work of Lennon and McCartney after this event:
I've never been a big Beatles fan, except I've always liked Ringo. I found Get Back alternately very tedious and very interesting.
I was surprised to see how competitive they were, barely interested in each other's new songs. Paul is clearly very talented and hard working. George seemed perpetually angry and humorless. John, whose solo records I quite like, irritated me so much I could barely watch. He kept interrupting the creative flow with bad three chord rock songs, childrens rhymes, silly voices, and loads of stoned gibberish. Paul had many excellent musical ideas that were ignored by the huge egos in the room.
Yoko and Linda were enjoyable, Yoko must feel vindicated after all the misogynist hate misdirected at her over the years, Mal Evans was sweet, Michael Lindsay-Hogg was comically dumb and childish. The concert on the roof was fun.
...and Billy Preston brought musical skills that really got them excited about playing again.
Yea that keyboard prodigye.
Oh yeah! I forgot. He really did bring the music and the mood up to another level. The show was more enjoyable for me after he appeared.
I think George and John’s attitudes may seem to reflect poorly on them when compared to Paul’s hardworking “let’s get it done attitude” if one is unaware of the history and dynamics … and forgets that these guys had been working together since adolescence.
By this time, their tastes in music had diverged and...well how many people in their late 20s are hanging out with the kids they were friends with at 13/14. Paul loved playing to crowds. John and George had grown to hate playing live. John was ready to move on to a new stage in his life and Paul basically ignored it. George was, understandably tired of being treated like a lesser individual. They had been bound together for a long time and were tired of each other.
Paul was tired of listening to John who was tired of Paul's music hall tendencies and incessant cheerfulness. George wanted to be around people that treated him like an equal.
I like the scene where George is helping Ringo add chords to "Octopuses Garden" as it develops.
That's interesting. I don't know "music hall" but that is probably the sound I associate with the Beatles that I dislike. Ob La Di and When I'm 64, etc. Are those examples of music hall songs? I think of those songs as similar to Vaudeville which, in the US, is an old style of theatrical music and comedy.
Yes, it was the one really big musical difference between Paul and the rest of the band, who famously called it "Paul's granny music". It peaked with the endless retakes of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, which even Ringo loathed.
I see, that's understandable. I really don't like that style of music or that song Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Ringo was right, it's simultaneously goofy and creepy.
I really enjoyed this, watching it felt like getting to know them in a strange way, and I fully appreciated how George was starting to push himself into the process. I think every young creative has gone through this stage; learning from peers and masters, then struggling to find space and a voice of their own - I think I’m still going through that at 47🤣
Yeah the granny music really grates me. Abbey Road would be the perfect album, if it wasn’t for Maxwells Silver Hammer.
But Paul is awesome, the medley on the B side of Abbey Road is one of my favourite musical pieces of all time, and it’s mostly Paul.
