Hey everyone. About the Peter Sellers bit. When I was recording my video I forgot which actor came to visit. I actually thought it was more than one actor who visited during the 8-hour doc. So I just said, "some actor." When I was adding the footage after the fact I then saw it was Sellers but had already recorded my dialog so I just put his name up on the screen and left it. No disrespect to the man.
As a 9 year old back in 1979, I got into the Beatles after my dad passed from a congenital heart problem. They became my solice. As I grew up, listening to my heroes, reading about their lives, listening to all the 'Beatle Hours" on the radio, they became a guiding force in my life. Knowing about all the arguments, struggles, misdirection and calamities, that can happen in a group (I was in the high school band, and we were a small group, and tight after years of playing) it was refreshing to see it handled mostly professionally, and like friends would. I still listen to the Beatles nearly everyday and still am in awe of their imaginations. Yes, they were not the most gifted musicians, but songwriting, nobody came close, NOBODY.
Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther) was a popular British actor, and Ringo was trying to get done in the studio to go make a movie with Peter at the end of that month. Peter was probably checking in to make sure Ringo was still going to be available.
IMO, 2 times is not enough times to watch this thing. I’m on my 5th pass, and there are so many nuggets and details to catch. It keeps getting better. This doc is really a treasure.
One thing not discussed in the documentary was the domestic difficulties George was having that contributed to his quitting the band -- during those early sessions, Patti (George's then wife) had discovered an affair George was having when the girl showed up at their house because George offered to let her stay there... so a lot of George's agitation and irritation prior to him walking out had a lot to do with that.
Watching that whole film a while back was such a wonderful experience. As a fan since my youth it was magic to see them so clearly, in color, moving and playing together. Amazing. So happy to revisit it with your terrific analysis. Thank you!
The Beatles were the biggest and greatest group in the last hundred years of recorded music what a fantastic post I don't think people will ever get tired of The Beatles I will always be fascinated by them great music never dies 🎉
The Beatles became a great cover band on their way to becoming a fantastic original band informed by all that music that they covered in their early days.
Get Back is one of the few documentaries where one gets to see the creative process of how songs get made, very much like seeing all the drafts of a book before publication. Also within the group while all the members cared for each other you can see a special bond between John and Paul, and a similar bond between George and Ringo. This is a documentary I will definitely be watching over and over throughout the years.
Thanks for the video! My biggest take-away from the movie was that those guys put 12 songs together in about 3 weeks and we got to watch the creative process (bands take years to put an album together). Three months earlier, they finished recording the White Album, and 8 months later they would record Abbey Road. Most bands have gaps of many years between albums. I guess the take-away is how prolific they were as song writers. In the movie they play iconic songs that would be on Abbey Road and songs off their solo albums. IMHO there will never be a band as prolific.The Let it Be album was not produced by George Martin, that is why he wasn't there. If you get a chance, watch the original 1970 movie Let it Be. That was a depressing movie. Get Back, in general, showed them laughing, having fun, and be creative.
FYI, The Beatles would play 8 hours a night, 6 nights a week, and they made a point early on to never repeat a song each night. By the time they got their recording contract, they had the most stage experience of any rock and roll band in the world. I think it was 1962, they played over 340 shows.
Just went to the Cavern literally a few hours ago and it was incredible to imagine that they played there hundreds of times to lunch and dinner crowds, honing their skills.
I love their approach to song writing.
I think Billy Preston really energised the band when he turned up. Great review!
Excellent distillation of the series, LOVE that jacket🖤
Ringo quit the group during the White Album sessions and the other three made it clear that they wanted him to come back, George even covered the studio in flowers when he (Ringo) did finally return after being away for nearly two weeks. So he had already gone through something similar to the way George felt during these sessions. I have no doubt Ringo played a significant role in convincing George to return, the two of them were close friends for years during the band's tenure and after the breakup.
From one Beatles fan to another… thank you! ❤
As a big Beatles fan, a musician, and haved watched Get Back documentary two or three times, you nailed it and made me laugh numerous times! I loved your video man
My college band played a show on the rooftop of our dorm in '95 or so. Unlike the Beatles, though, we did get shut down and kicked off after only a few songs. Good Times. 😊
Mike is always HERE. Great vid man
