The Beatles - Get Back

I don't seem to be able to find a thread on this.. but anyone else watching the Peter Jackson Beatles Documentary?

It's not quite what I expected, but defiantly an interesting look into the final stages of the Beatles and the recording of their last album - Let it be.

I'm nearly at the end of the 3rd part and to be honest I'm gobsmacked the Let it be album got finished in the timescale.
I'm a massive Beatles fan and if one of my bands messed around as much as they did I would have walked but then again that's why I'm not even a trillionth of the Beatles.

That's basically a smaller version and the new series is a massively extended version that can get a bit boring.

Late to the party on this but I’m two episodes in and enjoying it. I’m not a Beatles nut so some of the extended studio banter/goofing around gets a bit dull after a while but it’s amazing to watch a band like that in the creative process, and the different dynamics between the members and crew.

Also makes you realise that Yoko didn't break up the band but George Harrison did.

I think it was a collective effort, to tell you the truth. Ringo seemed to be the only one that wasn’t a complete PITA.

Finally finished this last night, last episode is great and comparatively flies by. It does a great job of capturing the rooftop show.

I had the original decades ago and I never realised they filmed it over and over. I always thought it was a seamless concert.
