I am going to sit down and watch this week, very much looking forward to it. Glad to hear the positive review.
Yep. His contributions on that album were stellar. Not to mention, they all seemed to get along much better when Billy was in the studio with them.
Get Back Jay Jay (Bateman)
Did you watch all 3 episodes? I'm ready to chat on this anytime.
While this is edited and didn't happen THAT quickly....this is still absolutely unreal.
I'm also only about halfway through the first episode and I love it. From what I've heard, it's really only for diehard Beatles fans...which I don't think Peter Jackson intended but oh well.
Yeah thats the thing.... if you're not really deep into the lads music then I can see where it will get a bit tedious.
Ringo was just a good dude that went along with whatever.
Ringo is still a chill dude, but yeah, he was the easy-going guy of the group.
Pattie Boyd inspiring 3 all time songs (including my personal favorite song ever, Layla) is crazy...she must have beer flavored nipples on her or something.Ringo is still a chill dude, but yeah, he was the easy-going guy of the group.
John was definitely out there sometimes, and could be a real ass.
Paul, like you said, was super creative and wanted it done his way.
George was starting to really write some good stuff himself but he was always the odd man out.
You can definitely see how John and Paul brought out the best in each other. And some of the stuff where they are goofing around is priceless.
As for Yoko, she didn't interject (much) into what the guys were doing, but having her always there like that was ridiculous. Now, if George's wife had hung around the whole time, then that's ok by me...
Basically the whole Derek & Dominos album was Clapton songs about her. Dude finally marries her, and they divorce a few years later. Guess that beer flavor went flat... bitter beer face!
Yeah, Berry and Lennon's performance isn't great, but you what you really need to see Chuck's reaction when Yoko starts that wailing shit (at around 2:00). Later she tries it again, but someone wisely turned her mic off. The comments are hilarious.
yeah I saw it, and I knew that's why you posted it. I'm not much of a Beatles fan but their songwriting ability was amazing, so I did think it was a shame to see them break up (as well as a blessing, to get George's single work). One of life's greatest mysteries is what may have possessed Lennon to bring that screeching little banshee into their inner circle.
I've already rewatched this a couple times. While the split screen stuff is cool, I wish there was an edit of just the lads playing, without any chatter from the crowd.
I love how George made a triple album just as a gigantic FU to Lennon/McCartney for not allowing more of his songs. All Things Must Pass is a classic in my mind.
I'm thinking 'Wonderful Tonight' must be one of the other ones, can't think of another right off hand.
'My Sweet Lord' might very well have borrowed from that song 'He's So Fine' which is itself a nice tune, but he elevates it into something I never get tired of hearing, especially if I'm in the right mood for it. It's just majestic. He's the one Beatle that I took seriously, that could have taken them in a direction I would have appreciated.
