Get Back

It got kind of interesting in the last 20 minutes or so and had a cliffhanger about George, which I thought a very cheap trick. So far unimpressed. I suppose their process, or lack thereof, and seeing them interact is marginally interesting.

WW1 was more action-packed.
So was the War of the Ring.
Maybe the Uruk-hai will attack in episode 3.

I was gobsmacked they put that in.
Makes me think Chapman missed his real target.

I did find myself falling off to sleep a couple of times. Overall I am enjoying it from a somewhat nostalgic reason but I have to admit to having genuine curiosity and to witness the origins of some pretty cool songs, is well, kind of cool to me. I had no expectations going in so nothing bothers me that much that I won't finish watching the series.

Sorry, just can't begin to enjoy.
In two hours of each video, there's about 15 minutes of storytelling, and 1:45 of the Beatles just "noodling around, " adding the wrong lyrics to songs they'd written in the past, and lots of irrelevant conversation.
I don't doubt that this is how their creative process worked, and I'm impressed with the ease of their musicianship.
But, I still find it boring. I suppose I'll finish, but it's not a "keeper."

I'd have liked it better if they'd not included Yoko screaming, or whatever it was she was doing.

Agreed. It was a painful part of the episode, though thankfully brief.
That said, anything without Yoko Ono is better than anything with Yoko Ono.
Anything.
Somewhere I read that Jackson's project had to have Yoko's approval, painting her in a pretty benevolent light. Note the dialog amongst the guys talking about Yoko's influence and presence.
That's not an accident.

Did the Billie Preston arrangement really happen like that?
He just drops in, to say hello
They show him the piano
He plays some chords
George says, "you are in the group"
The 5th Beatle
And that piano work that is all over the next 2 albums, I assume that is mostly BP
Everyone is happy

The rooftop concert was fun to watch. I would have been happy with just that.
As someone said, regarding this series, "Everyone loves the newborn baby, but nobody wants to watch the labor."
Yeah, true.

The Beatles were really pretty goofy.
At the time, I think, the image was more serious, like the music had a profound message. It seems they just wanted chords that didn't hurt your ears and words that rhymed.
And John spent a lot of time just doing silly stuff and acting cute. Ringo and George were saints putting up with all the nonsense.

If Horace told Apple to accept the Hell’s Angels he wouldn’t even have to give a reason.

So far this is a snoozer. Even for a fan.

The one thing this has given me is a realisation that the awful band I was in as a teenager (and we were genuinely, truly awful) wasn't actually as far away from The Beatles as I imagined. I generally used to switch off after about 30 minutes in those rehearsals, too.

I finally decided to watch the second episode. Better than the first but still pretty snoozy.
