James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966. Brian Epstein with the consent of the authorities at the time and the three Beatles, he decides to replace Paul with a right-handed session musician named William Shepherd. Everyone involved, including their families, vowed to keep everything a secret. However, The Beatles produced over a hundred clues about Paul's death in their albums and images. William underwent numerous cosmetic surgeries to resemble Paul. William is two inches taller than Paul, William has green eyes, William has a weaker and thinner voice than Paul, William has totally different manners. Musically, Paul was a genius, William is a weak musician.
If you don’t have a strong emotional attachment to the Beatles it’s still enjoyable taking in the late 60s details - technology, fashion, slang, even the coffee mugs. I found myself identifying with Ringo, who never said much but saw everything from his perch. Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight a long time.
John, Paul, George & Ringo were not even 30 yrs old yet at this point, and had already written and recorded the most timeless catalogue of songs and albums ever. This is why I, and many others feel, they are the greatest band of all time. It's an unparalleled achievement in the history of rock music, there are next to no clunkers in the bunch
Under 30 maybe understates how young they were. Ringo and John were 28, Paul 26, and George 25 during these sessions. The one that blows my mind is Paul--at 26 to have accomplished so much!
"Something," the greatest song from Abbey Road, and one of the greatest love songs of all time. To see it in its infancy cannot be put into words. So special.
I know. I wonder how it felt for Paul to watch this footage and see his younger self singing and harmonizing with John. He'll be asked that in interviews, I'm sure, and will give an 'acceptable' answer. But I hope in the private centre of his heart he's received a beautiful gift he had to wait 50 years for.
John Lennon could be such a goofball, but when he was working on writing or arranging he had such concentration on his face and you could see he was so into making music. Very cool to see him turn it on like that.
"I was so much older then, i'm younger than that now" I guess you could apply that philosophical Dylan lyric to John at this stage in his life, so enamored w/Yoko he was a kid again. But he was always cheeky with a silly sense of humor
These finding-the-lyrics moments gave me a form of anxiety, like I was afraid they wouldn't get it right in time. Like, you know how it will turn out, but there's still some suspense.
The older I get the more I see it - even the greatest artists - like the Beatles - usually have only a short window of peak creativity and productivity. It's magic, the result of many lucky factors and circumstances (being born with talent, meeting the right people, being in the right time in history), and it usually doesn't last for long. SO glad the Beatles had their time.
"Attracts me like a pomegranate!" 😂 that, aside from the music, is the glue that bonded these four together. They had such a great sense of humor! And dig John Batiste Band's reworking of Blackbird!!
After seeing this, the origins of "Yesterday" being "Scrambled Eggs" doesn't seem ridiculous anymore. I can totally picture them singing "Scrambled Eggs" while they were looking for a better word.
Just finished part 3. I sat there through the rooftop concert, tears of joy mingled with laughter as everyone tried to stall the Blue Meanies from getting up to the roof. This is a great Christmas present, and it will re-write music history. It overthrows quite a number of narratives about this project and what was going on.
Jackson is obviously a great film maker, but no I don't appreciate that libtard colbert for anything. All colbert does is pile on to whatever is "popular"
@@avatarfin uh yeah talking about what’s popular is pretty much the definition of a talk show. You’re putting coin in his pocket by watching so you must not feel too strongly against him. Now go get vaccinated.
@@radish6691 I don't watch Colbert other than this and only because Jackson was on it. Popular equals mass consciousness which I don't waste time or energy on. You need to wake up about the jab not being a vaccine which I don't need because my immune system is just fine without all those poisons. Good luck with the rest of your short life assuming you did get the jab.
I think the truth is that everything that has a beginning has an end. The band was heading for implosion anyway, and Yoko was a convenient scapegoat. I, for one, am glad the Beatles burned so bright for the short time they had together.
I have recorded many bands and have never seen a significant other sitting so close as to be distracting. How clingy do you have to be, not to leave someone to do their thing. She could have been in the control room, or visiting 6 times a day. Can you imagine doing that with your significant other? It's weird, perhaps a power move to let the band know she can do what she wants.
22 albums in 6 years? That is a whole career and more! It was enough. They worked long and hard, it was time for a rest. (AND 4-5 movies, a couple books, and they still managed to party like troopers!)
Yoko was quirky, perhaps up her own rear end (as many avant garde artists are), and it's very likely the other Beatles didn't want her there. But that's firstly John's fault, then the other Beatles, not hers. The Beatle fandom enjoys Get Back because we'd all love to sit in on a Beatles recording session - exactly what we're hating Yoko for doing 😅. It's not like she busted down the door and forced them to change their music. She mostly sits back silently, chimes in when there's a group discussion (including with Paul's partner), and does some zany screaming when they're blowing off steam. Their manager died unexpectedly, they disagreed on performing live, they disagreed on traveling abroad, they disagreed even on what medium (LP, TV show, movie, live performance) their art should take. John was likely addicted to heroin. They all had different creative ideas, with George having 2 albums up his sleeve and wanting to do his own thing. To place the blame of breaking up on a girlfriend sitting in is ridiculous.
Yeah, it's like when Paul says at one point, "It would be ridiculous if in 50 years people actually believe the band ended because Yoko sat on an amp." Or something to that effect.
It was actually Yoko, who introduced John to heroin. I understand he was an adult and it’s his own fault, but still her influence was all negative. She starts screaming Johns name, when he is in the middle of an important conversation. It’s obvious she’s jealous of their friendship. She wants John all to herself. She’s 37 years old here, acting like a silly teenager.
@@ravida29 I wouldn't say it was all negative. It seemed like they really completed each other, even if that tilted into co-dependence. Keep in mind also, the footage in Get Back is 6 weeks removed from the miscarriage of their son so you can forgive them for being clingy. They made each other happy, they opened each other's eyes to their respective arts, and they were on the same page politically. IMO Beatles fans should be happy for them.
I always liked how the Beatles just had a few years together. Most bands have a few years of peak creativity and then can't top their success. They can either break up like the Beatles and move on or be like the Rolling Stones and be content with playing their back catalog for 50 years. In any event it's hard to top yourself. I'd say in a way maybe George Harrison's career had a lot more juice left in it than the others. He put out some very creative solo albums.
I'm glad it wasn't only me yelling the correct lines to their songs at the screen. You start off kinda singing along, and when they stop you find yourself kinda whispering it to yourself, but the more they fumble with alternative thoughts to their music the louder you become, like they might possibly hear you. But, sadly, only my family and my neighbors can hear me by the ends of the videos. And then you find that song can get stuck in your head for days on end. Thank you for making me yell at my screen again Peter Jackson. As if me spending decades yelling at Frodo not to trust Golum and the last 5 years yelling at Bilbo not to go into the Murkwood. I appreciate you making me yell at the Beatles this time round. 😏😉💜
@@Ireneharnack1138 John was the one who chose him to manage The Beatles and get Apple in order. Paul didn’t want Klein because he pretty would end up owning everything The Beatles did. In the end they did sign with him except Paul and in the end they found out he controlled a lot more than they thought.
To give some idea of how prolific the Beatles were: They came out with a double album of all new material in November of 1968. January 2nd, 1969 is when they started working on Get Back/Let it Be, which they finished on the last day of January. They started working on Abbey Road at the end of February, less than a month after they'd finished Get Back/Let it Be. They recorded the bulk of their music from 1963 until 1969. Seven years. A lot of bands nowadays take that long between albums.
Last day of recording The Beatles was October 14 1968. That means they had eleven weeks preparing for Get Back/Let It Be, which still isn't very much...but more. When they started recording I Want You(She's So Heavy) and Something in February, they were still finishing the Get Back/Let It Be project. The idea to put those songs on a completely new album wasn't really decided until April/May, probably.
this documentary is going to heal generations, esp the elder boomers entering their golden years. cataclysmic. thank you, paul and ringo! thank you, peter jackson!
Peter, is such a giving, talented, man.As far as I'm, concerned, he's a, genius.He's so, unassuming. His body of work, is, astounding.All, top-drawer. I salute, him.
I kept doing the same thing when Paul was writing Get Back. lol "Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner, Paul!" And I had no idea how funny and goofy John Lennon was. I developed a great respect for Paul watching this documentary. How understanding he was of John's love of Yoko. And how he tried to keep things moving along. As a creative myself, I get to call the shots on my work. I can't imagine how hard it must be to create something with three other people wanting their input. It was amazing to watch Paul write songs right there on the fly in the studio. And so much fun watching them have fun in the studio. Billy Preston has such great energy. What a gift Peter Jackson left for the Beatles memory and legacy.
I was listening to John talk about how his first song he wrote he was influenced buy Bing Crosby...I thought about that for a few days and thought wow that's really a fan of music to have respect for a great singer of a much older time...an man who was definitely one of the smoothest an most gifted singers...from before my dad's time...an I'm come up on 60...
My reaction to them discussing Something was the exact same xD What a wonderful experience. I'm going to rewatch it tonight! I guess it will become a classic comfort watch ♥
And if you've actually seen the doc, there is a segment with Linda sitting in with the band, hanging out with the band, even engaging in conversation, and then another segment with Linda taking pictures, all of them with Paul in them, yet no chatter from the peanut gallery.
Seriously. Not only that, Linda’s 6 year old daughter Heather is present, disruptive and never redirected by Linda. Maureen sits in and George invited many different people. It’s pretty obvious that all the vitriol toward Yoko is unjustified. I nobody wants to consider the possibility that without her presence, John may not have been willing to be there.
Geoffrey Emerick (recording engineer) shows a different point of view about Yoko's presence in the studio in his extremely interesting book : "Here There and Everywhere - My Life Recording The Beatles". Though Emerick didn't attend neither the Twickenham nor the Apple recordings his book is really worth reading. Still it's a bit puzzling to read that the anvil episode (Maxwell Siver Hammer) took place in July at Abbey Road... Anyway we owe an enormous thank you to Peter Jackson for his enormous effort and to Paul and Ringo for offering us that fabulous documentary ! Unforgettable !
This is what I read about the book in a review: "[John] became heavily dependent on Yoko, and all the others were really hacked off when he imported a bed into the studio during the White Album sessions so that Yoko could be there all the time;"
Love the Beatles, loved the documentary. I was telling my 14 year old son to play with words and write lyrics and make songs and used the exact same example. Even Beatles played around, and struggled, you don't need to get things right in first go! :) How messily magical are they!
It’s nice to see Yoko finally get some pressure off her legacy as Beatle splitter upper. If was in the band, ( and it’s a regular daydream,,) having the kids running about would disturb my creative concentration much more. So Heather split ‘my’ Beatles. Oh and is there anyone who can’t not love Ringo?
Yoko was a passive aggressive presence, sitting between John and Paul reading a newspaper while they worked out song lyrics.But I think it was John playing mind games with the rest of the group - especially Paul.
Tuscon, Arizona is also where Heather MacCartney, Paul's adoptive daughter who appears in the documentary was born, so that might have been a factor too.
I think this doc might finally dispel some of the most iconic bullshit myths about them. That Yoko broke up the band or tried to interfere in the studio. That they all were fighting bitterly nonstop and Paul was to blame. Which some of them, like George helped foster that idea. But their ideas of arguments, would make many people laugh. Modest disagreements at best.
It's funny that Stephen says "Yoko didn't do anything wrong" because my dad, who is not a Beatles fan, watched a bit of the doc with me and was complaining "why is Yoko always there!?" I actually agree with Stephen and didn't think it was that big a deal but I found it interesting that my dad, who has no Yoko baggage, was upset by Yoko's constant presence
I disagree on Yoko... It's like she was John's emotional support animal. I was waiting for one of them to jump up and say; "what the hell are you doing here"?!
While watching it I texted my sister, Ringo is a sad puppy and Yoko is John’s emotional support animal. I know exactly what you mean. The thing is, Ringo didn’t say much but he saw everything and he knew what was going down.
I thought it made me like yoko less. Shes always there and he’s supposed to be working. If she wants to come along she didn’t need to be in the recording room. She may not be saying something in the room but when leaving I bet she’s talking junk
Can’t help but wonder (out loud): If Yoko weren’t Japanese, WOULD she have felt the need to chime in once in a while? Obviously, Linda didn’t (mildly). But she wasn’t sitting there the whole damn time. The “Freakout” scene was pretty damn funny though!
All of this is gorgeous... At that time they were like a band that starts to play in a garage, asking each other "what are we gonna do now?", "I don't know...". But they were making songs like Something, Get Back, Let it be, in a such simple way!! 1:16 The truly fact was that both John and Paul was a bit tired of this habit of George on lacking to find words and titles for his songs... So John ironically had fun of it, in a sad way, and Paul was waiting for the end of that embarrassing and tiring moment.
This is not true. They all used nonsense words as lyrics until they created proper words, remember in the documentary how many times we had to hear the name 'Tommy Cooper' sung by McCartney because he hasn't come up with lyrics yet
@@jackdutfield6096 yeah they kinda used nonsense solutions even for their lyrics, (Taxman's chorus as an example or The Warlus), and also in this moment they did it, but if you read and know that through the years before, George Harrison, unfortunately, never had title or words for his songs, so one day John told him: "You never have a title for your songs". And that was a moment like that. But I love it, it's a band's dynamic.
At one point in my life I was an analyst for a mutual fund company. I remember asking the Chief Investment Officer if I could sit in on a different fund's analyst meeting just to see their decision process. He said to me "No, even I am not allowed to sit in on their meetings." I said I would be absolutely quiet, he responded "that doesn't matter. Your presence will change the dynamic of the meeting." And yeah, so did Yoko Ono's presence change the dynamic of their rehearsals, and every Beatle except John has said as much in later interviews.
It's control freak stuff. The same reason she forced John to quit the Beatles. She had to possess him completely and was jealous of him getting his happiness from anywhere else.
I don't think even Peter realised the major Beatles rumour he debunked by including Paul's inclusion of Tucson, AZ due to High Chaparelle. Linda's ex-husband, and the father of Paul's adoptive daughter was named Joseph and he was from Tucson. It was speculated that Get Back was about him, but it was just Paul drawing from a piece of TV trivia.
She may have been nice and quiet right there on camera, but anyone who thinks she was all the time is lying or simply a fool. She shouldn't be there in the work environment. As all spouses shouldn't when it's time to work. Unless you work together. She's definitely a bad admission into the mix, but the fault is mainly John's that she's there.
Imagine (!) going into the office everyday and having one of your co-worker's girlfriend hanging around wherever he goes. Awww, diddles, they're in love, you'd cutely say and work really well not bothered at all.
As one that have grown up in an family of artists, musicians and stage performers I spent weeks / months in recording studios, before I was 10, not unheard-of that families join when you are recording, it's was an very lengthy process before the digital age.
I agree it not only annoying but takes from the creative process whether it’s seen or not. They were already nervous of the cameras so having extra people not needed in the room I’d assume throws them off too

Its a great documentary for the big Beatles fans but as far as the long documentaries go, I prefer the Anthology series.
While I wish no ill on McCartney (whose music I adore), it would be fitting if Ringo were to be the last in and the last out.

Unparalleled? I mean I guess that is correct. It isn't exactly parallel to a Nobel Prize for your songs, is it?
They changed music forever.

It’s pretty obvious that all the vitriol toward Yoko is unjustified. I nobody wants to consider the possibility that without her presence, John may not have been willing to be there.
@@LMDinNC Spot on. George even had some Hare Krisnas sitting in, and they are on camera in the beginning of the doc and no peep from anyone.
Took a couple of plays for me to recognise the familiar tune at the end ('Blackbird').
i absolutely love that song. I wish LSSC would post Stay Human's Beatles covers.
If only they could have appreciated George more. His songs are amazing
Geoffrey Emerick (recording engineer) shows a different point of view about Yoko's presence in the studio in his extremely interesting book : "Here There and Everywhere - My Life Recording The Beatles". Though Emerick didn't attend neither the Twickenham nor the Apple recordings his book is really worth reading. Still it's a bit puzzling to read that the anvil episode (Maxwell Siver Hammer) took place in July at Abbey Road... Anyway we owe an enormous thank you to Peter Jackson for his enormous effort and to Paul and Ringo for offering us that fabulous documentary ! Unforgettable !
This is what I read about the book in a review: "[John] became heavily dependent on Yoko, and all the others were really hacked off when he imported a bed into the studio during the White Album sessions so that Yoko could be there all the time;"
I want a full performance of the band's gorgeous Blackbird cover 😍 . Lovely conversation, so grateful for this doc.
Love the Beatles, loved the documentary. I was telling my 14 year old son to play with words and write lyrics and make songs and used the exact same example. Even Beatles played around, and struggled, you don't need to get things right in first go! :)
How messily magical are they!
It’s nice to see Yoko finally get some pressure off her legacy as Beatle splitter upper. If was in the band, ( and it’s a regular daydream,,) having the kids running about would disturb my creative concentration much more. So Heather split ‘my’ Beatles. Oh and is there anyone who can’t not love Ringo?
With the intro and outro, I now want an album of Stay Human doing Beatles covers!
Great interview
Yoko was a passive aggressive presence, sitting between John and Paul reading a newspaper while they worked out song lyrics.But I think it was John playing mind games with the rest of the group - especially Paul.
I found myself speaking to the TV -'Tuscon' Paul! Tuscon/Arizona Paul! 🤣
Thank you, Peter Jackson.
omg that groove John & Stay Human are laying down on Blackbird at the end is so dope
Tuscon, Arizona is also where Heather MacCartney, Paul's adoptive daughter who appears in the documentary was born, so that might have been a factor too.
My exact thought
Thank you, Peter Jackson
Paul knew about Tucson AZ because Linda's family had a ranch there. They lived there for a while before she died.
I think this doc might finally dispel some of the most iconic bullshit myths about them. That Yoko broke up the band or tried to interfere in the studio. That they all were fighting bitterly nonstop and Paul was to blame. Which some of them, like George helped foster that idea. But their ideas of arguments, would make many people laugh. Modest disagreements at best.
It's funny that Stephen says "Yoko didn't do anything wrong" because my dad, who is not a Beatles fan, watched a bit of the doc with me and was complaining "why is Yoko always there!?" I actually agree with Stephen and didn't think it was that big a deal but I found it interesting that my dad, who has no Yoko baggage, was upset by Yoko's constant presence
It's called being pussy whipped. Poor John was so desperate for a strong woman to love him.
god!! yoko just sitting there like a ghost just freaks me out
Nice trumpet playing!
Great interviews!
I was playing and jamming along and soloing it was great
Yoko is sitting there close, but reading a paper like a ghoul.
@Ponce Francia opwmf/&@)flw%%
Such a great documentary!
Tucson, Arizona is also where Heather was born.
Yes, it seems to be about Linda’s ex Joe from Tucson.
Very nice I love their looking up at th hidden unknow mike
Disney and peter Jacksons the Beatles get back really made my dad feel like a kid again 54 years ago
I love Jackson's shirt!!
I disagree on Yoko... It's like she was John's emotional support animal. I was waiting for one of them to jump up and say; "what the hell are you doing here"?!
While watching it I texted my sister, Ringo is a sad puppy and Yoko is John’s emotional support animal. I know exactly what you mean. The thing is, Ringo didn’t say much but he saw everything and he knew what was going down.
ah, what do you know?
Wow that Let It Be by Jon Batiste & the Stay Human band though. Goosebumps
I thought it made me like yoko less. Shes always there and he’s supposed to be working. If she wants to come along she didn’t need to be in the recording room. She may not be saying something in the room but when leaving I bet she’s talking junk
"yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, yeah, yeah"
Peter Jackson
Look at Yoko Ono in the clip... she has what we call in Liverpool “a face like a slapped arse!”
lloyd: they've got the monkees. they were a major influence on the beatles.
harry: yeah, I know.
😂🤣
John's " ...cauliflower " suggestion was a trick they all used. Paul's " Yesterday " was ' Scrambled Eggs ' until the right lyric presented itself.
2:01 Damn, Stephen is crying.. 😢
Can’t help but wonder (out loud):
If Yoko weren’t Japanese, WOULD she have felt the need to chime in once in a while? Obviously, Linda didn’t (mildly). But she wasn’t sitting there the whole damn time.
The “Freakout” scene was pretty damn funny though!
Something in the way she moves..attracts me like a pommy granite...
I so understand that. Saying the nonsense to get it out of the way.
All of this is gorgeous... At that time they were like a band that starts to play in a garage, asking each other "what are we gonna do now?", "I don't know...". But they were making songs like Something, Get Back, Let it be, in a such simple way!!
1:16 The truly fact was that both John and Paul was a bit tired of this habit of George on lacking to find words and titles for his songs... So John ironically had fun of it, in a sad way, and Paul was waiting for the end of that embarrassing and tiring moment.
This is not true. They all used nonsense words as lyrics until they created proper words, remember in the documentary how many times we had to hear the name 'Tommy Cooper' sung by McCartney because he hasn't come up with lyrics yet
@@jackdutfield6096 yeah they kinda used nonsense solutions even for their lyrics, (Taxman's chorus as an example or The Warlus), and also in this moment they did it, but if you read and know that through the years before, George Harrison, unfortunately, never had title or words for his songs, so one day John told him: "You never have a title for your songs". And that was a moment like that. But I love it, it's a band's dynamic.
@@B.R.0101 oh my bad, i misread this as you attacking John and Paul for telling George to use placeholder lyrics, sorry
slavoy zizek is very good director.
At one point in my life I was an analyst for a mutual fund company. I remember asking the Chief Investment Officer if I could sit in on a different fund's analyst meeting just to see their decision process. He said to me "No, even I am not allowed to sit in on their meetings." I said I would be absolutely quiet, he responded "that doesn't matter. Your presence will change the dynamic of the meeting." And yeah, so did Yoko Ono's presence change the dynamic of their rehearsals, and every Beatle except John has said as much in later interviews.
It took me the longest time to recognize "Blackbird" in the outro music. Edit: gotta love how jazz ambiguates
magic
Tucson is also where Linda was from/ going to university
Yoko was such a wet blanket just setting there.
Something. The best beetles song...
Hey, Paul put in Tucson Arizona because he knew it from Linda’s days at the university of Arizona there…
Yoko just sits there blankly. She is clearly using.
It's control freak stuff. The same reason she forced John to quit the Beatles. She had to possess him completely and was jealous of him getting his happiness from anywhere else.
I had to suffer through watching Stephen Colbert to watch Peter Jackson’s Beatles footage. I guess what I won’t do.
The band seems to just absolutely enjoy the chance to play Beatles songs
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one yelling at the screen! Haha.
I don't think even Peter realised the major Beatles rumour he debunked by including Paul's inclusion of Tucson, AZ due to High Chaparelle. Linda's ex-husband, and the father of Paul's adoptive daughter was named Joseph and he was from Tucson. It was speculated that Get Back was about him, but it was just Paul drawing from a piece of TV trivia.
Yoko looks a bag of laughs when John and George are interacting
I'm surprised Peter Jackson doesn't have a restraining order against Stephen Colbert yet
She may have been nice and quiet right there on camera, but anyone who thinks she was all the time is lying or simply a fool. She shouldn't be there in the work environment. As all spouses shouldn't when it's time to work. Unless you work together. She's definitely a bad admission into the mix, but the fault is mainly John's that she's there.
I never realized that I wanted to hear George Harrison say the word pomegranate before.
I was once asked, "Why did you choose 1992 as the setting of your song?"
Me, "It rhymed with 'you'"
Yoko and her "friendly" face is amazing.
He’s forgetting when Yoko disrupts the process when she starts screeching.
@00:04 That was an expensive needle drop.
3:02 Im dying bro you can tell they thought he was a wierdo
Imagine (!) going into the office everyday and having one of your co-worker's girlfriend hanging around wherever he goes. Awww, diddles, they're in love, you'd cutely say and work really well not bothered at all.
As one that have grown up in an family of artists, musicians and stage performers I spent weeks / months in recording studios, before I was 10, not unheard-of that families join when you are recording, it's was an very lengthy process before the digital age.
I agree it not only annoying but takes from the creative process whether it’s seen or not. They were already nervous of the cameras so having extra people not needed in the room I’d assume throws them off too
It's just the ridiculous hippie, lefty, woke, feminist BS that Colbert believes in that the rules don't apply to women because vagina.
Yoko LOVES "Something"!
Damn at 0:21 it feels like Grima has been whispering to Peter's ears
I've just realized that he would have made an excellent Gaffer Gamgee.
