Before I "knew" the beatles, i thought of them as older dudes who did drugs and made weird ass music, but they were literally just kids having fun and living this huge life that was practically unheard of at the time. George was only 25 and Paul was 26. Like Im 28 and I couldnt imagine having lived through what they experienced by my age.
They were kinda both lol. Old dudes who did drugs and made weird, at the time, music. At the same time, they were kids having fun and experiencing life, and turned out probably the finest discography in music history.
If they could bottle her 'singing', she could have made trillions as a cat, dog, lion, tiger and mosquito repellant. With some added aerosol, shark, bear and mace spray too.
paul mccartney climbing ,jumping over, swinging on and parkouring on anything out of nowhere was such a highlight. the part where he climbs the roof by himself and then has to literally drag michael lindsay hogg up with him was such comedic continuity
7:23 *"walks like a princess"* John always makes me smile. Knowing that the documentary shows a Beatles that couldn't give any more, even so these funny memories remained engraved :)
the doc really makes it seem the concert wouldn't have happened at all if he hadn't showed up. he literally reinvigorated the others with his talent and attitude. absolute beam of light
As someone who grew up loving these guys, it is disturbing to find out they’re only 1 or 2 years older than me in this film. On top of the world at 27/28.
I agree! I'm 27 and I felt weirded out the whole time I was watching the documentary. I was like "wow, I can't believe George was 26 here" and then it hit me... They became a worldwide phenomenon, produced their best work as a band and then disbanded, all before hitting 30.
The way Paul joins in on the weird lil Yoko jams says a lot about his character, as he's no stranger to the avant garde considering Carnival of Light, but also the fact he's trying to accommodate John simply because he cares that much. Would've loved to see those jams make it into a completed song tbh lol.
2:22 & 2:42 These moments to me are so endearing. We all get fed up in the drama and never stop talking about the arguments and/or the things that would eventually lead to the split of the band. But seeing moments like this let you know that they loved each other, that they were a family just fooling around and that if they decided to stop as a group that was probably for the best, to let everyone do whatever they wanted their sound to be like without having to limit themselves within keeping the image the world had of The Beatles back in those days. Overall just being able to see this behind the scenes gives a whole new spectrum and point of view of what we know about them and I absolutely love it. Thanks for picking these out of context, it's really fun. P.S.: 3:52 George got a shock from the mic and the then after that he proceeded to put his hand on it again and got shocked again twice lmao 😂
I think they’d spent SO much time together and been through so much that no matter how much they may have disliked each other at times, there was still such a profound bond and connection that existed between the four of them that moments like that would always squeak through the tension. There’s a story that at the only session John and Paul ever played together at post-breakup in 1974 Paul walked in the studio and when everyone realized John and Paul were together the tension became so thick you could cut it with a knife. Then the two made a joke and instantly it was like they were back in Liverpool and all the years of fighting had never happened.
Some of my favorite clips from this documentary are the jamming sessions involving Yoko, John and Paul going absolutely apeshit on the drums. We've been fed this narrative that Yoko split the band and that the other three Beatles hated her guts for so long that it's so refreshing and endearing seeing them just hanging out and having fun. It's so awesome that Peter Jackson put so much time and dedication into making this film, it totally reshapes what we know about the Beatles, and it successfully showcases what the original Let It Be film failed to show- The sheer joy and humanity of four friends making music.
i love the “little old man” and “clean” comment- it feels like an obvious throwback to a hard days night. whether that was on purpose as a reference or that was just part of their vocabulary as friends, its so fun
It's crazy to see these guys like this. I mean, you can tell they really are having fun and enjoying themselves. You hear all these stories about how they hated each other and wouldn't work together and all that. I was in a band for 15 years and I still get along with those guys, consider them friends, and talk to them often. But I don't remember an time where we had this much fun. These guys act like they just started the band, not like they are all ready to quit.
Yeah it’s definitely a combination of what the other guy said and the stress of being literally the most popular people in the world for almost a whole decade. Sure you make a lot of money, but you still have to deliver on the expectations of the WORLD.
@@thegreenbird795 There is no way Paul could have pulled off unchained melody. As much as I loved Paul's singing he was not at the same caliber as Elvis.
@@robertgodlewski8553aul is one of the best singers in rock/pop with a 4+ octave vocal range. That is way higher than Elvis’s and one of the highest in popular music. You may like Elvis’s voice or style of singing but he wasn’t as capable a singer as Paul.

I legitimately think if he wasn't simply who he was, we don't get Abbey Road and Let It Be. He was exactly the glue they needed as things were winding down.
Yoko was a famous artist in her own right. John wasn't an idiot. Hating on her is dissing him and showing your ignorance of art. But then maybe pop is all you can understand.
Check out her 70s stuff. Yoko did some great musical stuff on her own and wasn't just the screaming maniac: ruclips.net/video/8IXHUeQQZ0Q/видео.html&ab_channel=YokoQueenOno
it's hilarious when paul played to be an old man reminiscing of the past and his facial gestures was exactly how he does look now, the same twinkle in his eyes and everything. p.s. michael lindsay hogg becoming a character too is the greatest story of vindication from this epic!
@@Bella-nt7ecI know, he was looking a list of the songs that Northern Songs had possession of, and he gasped when he read Carolina Moon because his uncle used to sing it all the time. It was adorable.
You can see that Paul is the most mature group member getting business done on the studio in these little clips. He was patient, goofy and funny at times but yet serious at the same time making sue that the songs are played correctly.
They are simultaneously geniuses and sharing a single brain cell. I love these guys.
