I loved the Beatles and saw them live twice, then they sort faded away. But over the last two or three years I'm really into them again.
What always gets me is that they did it all in six years, most of it before they were thirty.
8 years and yes they are truly amazing
Just finished days 1-7
I wasn’t around for the Beatles but even though they played a part of my childhood they were almost mythical beings that were only seen in black & white or blurred images.
Seeing them in HD with colour and matching their voices is so bizarre. You almost convince yourselves they’re actors playing the Beatles.
As fascinating as it is it’s also a slog at times. 2hr36 of band practice and sound bites is easier watched in 2 or 3 sittings.

Loads of film student a$$holes on YouTube slagging off the software Jackson has used to smooth out the old grain. I think he’s done brilliant job in bringing it to klife.
You’ll enjoy it, Samus.

You wouldn’t want to die on this hill for this version, surely? The solo album version I can understand, but not this.
2nd best to Bob Dylan for me, but love The Beatles.
Really want to see Get Back. Is it just showing in the cinemas in the UK or are you able to steam it?
The footage looks surreal. Love the fly on the wall material similar to what D.A Penebaker did with Bob.
The footage I’ve seen of Yoko in the studio grinds me. Fack off love and go get a cuppa tea from the cafe down the road. Leave the boys too it. Obvs John wanted her there though

No watched it yet, but will do. Have seen bootlegs of the original and read enough to know most of it already, but the footage looks beautifully remastered and there looks to be some good unseen stuff. Everyone knows this was the low point of their time as a band so hope it’s not too sanitised; McCartney has a tendency to sugar coat the more unseemly elements of The Beatles history.
Regarding the OP, Lennon was brilliant but he was also a drug addled nobbhead at this stage of his life (and didn’t really recover if truth be told). It’s a cliche but George is also incredibly bitter by this stage at his ‘little brother’ role, but the reality was he was in a band with two vastly superior singer songwriters who made his name (and wealth) for him.
It always astonished me that Harrison was only 26 and Paul only 28 when The Beatles broke up, given all that they did and the colossal legacy the band left.
If anyone has a particular interest in the break up of The Beatles and the mess that ensued both personally and legally in the decades that followed, I absolutely cannot recommend the book You Never Give Me Your Money by Pete Doggett enough, I must’ve read it five times. It starts in 67 around the death of Epstein and ends in the mid 00’s and pulls absolutely no punches.
My other favourite Beatles (related) book is Living on Borrowed Time. It’s the memoirs of Fred Seaman, the man that was John Lennon’s PA for the last five years of his life. It tells the story of quite a tragic figure - Lennon was an druggie, anorexic, reclusive, creatively bereft, detached oddball who spent most of his last five years laying in bed smoking weed, buying antiques and berating servants while Yoko amassed a property empire for them. The reality of his final years is miserable and a world away from the bread baking house husband and doting dad he painted himself as during his (atrocious) Double Fantasy comeback.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I like a man who knows his Beatles as much as I do.
One problem with your post, Ace. Not enough of the usual bile. So feck off, you supermarket meat nappy.
It is well documented that Macca has changed his opinions on the breakup after seeing the footage but that in itself may be him sugar coating even further?

Showing yer age mate. Saw the Stones live once, Brian Jones still with them then. Reading very positive things about your temp manager. Let’s wait and see. When it comes, have a good Xmas and a HNY.
Not watched it yet but was listening to Howard Stern this morning talking about it. He was ripping into bat shat crazy yoko and Pauls daughter being annoying as well. Will defo give it a look at some point.
On a side note, the dad of a nutcase neighbour in NJ was one of the Beatles accountants at one stage, wish I had dug for some stories but never did.
tbh
the only Beetles song I really like is U Gotta Hide Ur Love Away
It's a grand documentary and 8 hours long but you cannot hide the issues so much.. I am sure there are parts left out that were worse.
It comes across as McCartney driving the whole show and lennon on auto pilot. Theres.moment of fun and games but john lennon looks mentally checked out.
The Harrison stuff does sell the bitterness and theres only one brief moment where he is playing something in the way she moves and asks for a bit of help and is basically blanked by McCartney. In general Harrison comes across as lacking confidence in himself to give.back as good as he gets off McCartney.
The whole.dynamic is of a group without the will to perform as they are cajoled towards a gig which they steadfastly refuse to do. No travel, no venue suits, nobody to see them etc. Wanting to stay home and so forth and so on.
The whole energy changes when their mate turns in and they get him on the piano and you.can.feel them pick up.
It’s stunning, however the Digital Noise Reduction is horrendous.
Would the Beatles have made such great music with the in take of drugs , I don’t think so 👍
Will watch it though great band imo
