      For all of you idiots glorifying Billy Preston.........
      While on probation for a drunk driving conviction in August 1991 Preston was arrested for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old Mexican boy, after picking him up at a gathering point for day laborers. The boy told authorities that Preston took him to his Malibu home, smoked cocaine, showed him pornographic pictures and tried to assault him before he escaped. Preston was also charged with assault with a deadly weapon involving a man he picked up to do work at his home, the day before his arrest in the case involving the boy.[29] After submitting to a drug test, Preston tested positive for cocaine. He was sentenced to nine months at a drug rehabilitation center and three months of house arrest.
      In 1992, Preston was sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating his probation on a drunk driving conviction.
      In 1997, Preston was sentenced to three years in a California prison for cocaine possession in violation of his probation. He had been placed on three years' probation earlier that year after testing positive for cocaine use; under the terms he agreed to spend 90 days in jail.
      While in prison in 1998, Preston was indicted for a $1 million insurance fraud scheme after setting fire to his own house in Los Angeles. He pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against other defendants involved in the scam His plea called for five years of probation, one year in jail, and $60,000 in restitution. The probation and jail time ran concurrent with his cocaine possession conviction. At California's Avenal State Prison.

      @@lalareal180 hey Mr Percect Angel, we are indeed glorifying Preston for his musical skills and talent, not for what he did outside of a studio or stage, which is not our business anyway. It does not diminish his greatness as a musician. Like saying Maradana was not one of the greatest because of his conduct and drugs addiction. Though we all may condemn these behaviors (as we are all saints btw...), it does not take anything away from them.

    "You're giving us a lift Bill." "We've been doing this for days, y'know." Love how much fun Billy Preston seems to be having here. He was a legend, props to John and George for paying compliments to his fantastic playing because they're right. He's worked with the best in the industry and this is just further proof that his ability on the keys, especially here, is out of this world. It perfectly fits the groove/vibe of the track, I can't wait to stream this and see all of these elements play out in the next few days.

They were on the verge of breaking up anyways and probably did Billy a favor by not getting him involved.

      Epstein wanted a fresh innocent look and needed to erase the Beatles rough, uncouth history.
      The early Hamburg years and their collective 10k hours are essential to understanding why they are so good.
      Also, don't forget John had just turned 28 in Oct 68. Paul is 26 and George still only 25 in Jan 69.

      I wouldn't say "amazing", I'm sure it needed work, but everything they did makes the image look waxy and lacking in pretty much any detail. Like at 1:04 with Ringo, it's like someone painted him instead of it actually being him. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they finally are going to release it, and I realize they had 60hrs or film. But that's not what film is supposed to look like.

    What I have always appreciated about The Beatles is their studio sessions were always about recording the 'group'. I know they did a lot of over dubs and experimented with the studio trickery of their time, but the core was always the ensemble. For me, when I listen to them even today, this ensemble 'band' approach is still, even after 50 years, what I find most attractive.

      But also, consider that not only she was brought up to London by the Indica Gallery, an art initiative which was also a magazine that was created by John Dunbar and Peter Asher (Jane Asher's brother) and was funded by Paul McCartney. And just because that's not enough, it's confirmed by Paul that Yoko in 1966 wanted to have manuscripts to make them a gift for John Cage's birthday; she went to Cavendish Avenue in St. John's Wood to visit Paul's house to ask for the manuscript for the song 'The Word'. McCartney rejected that idea right on the door, because he needed permission from John to know what to do.
      Now, considering she lived in New York at the height of Beatlemania, moved to London thanks to an art collective founded by Jane Asher's brother (Jane Asher was Paul McCartney's girlfriend) and not only that, but that she contacted a Beatle to get one of his manuscripts to make it a gift, and was pointed that they needed the permission of both McCartney and Lennon to have it, you fully know well that she is lying and she knew of The Beatles.

    Peter Jackson is a Director who put his mindset as a Beatles fan, & that's why he was so eager to share.
    This was a true Labor of Love & not something that was just slapped together as another documentary. (Though we would appreciate that as well) !
    The added hours of footage could have been for "his eyes & ears only", but that's not how Peter rolls. That's why he took on this project in the first place.
    He is the ONLY person who made it possible for us remaining Beatles fans to see this footage in our lifetime. (Including Paul & Ringo) Not to mention the full restoration!
    If not for Peter, for sure it would have sat another half a century in the vault, which newer fans wouldn't "relate & appreciate" as much as us 1st generation fans.
