Beatles Get Back documentary


Has anyone watched the Beatles Get Back documentary yet?  Unfortunately I don’t have a Disney subscription, but I may sign up to watch it.  Impressions?

I really don’t see how this is going to change my opinion of the Let It Be recording sessions. The  promotion for the Get Back documentary has been to prove that they were all getting along, and happy. So far, it seems like they are just trying to get through the sessions. Yes, they still care about each other, and I don’t think anyone truly feels that it is over, but the bloom is off the rose.  I am going to stick with The Beatles original opinions of the sessions  

Still fascinating to watch, and I am loving it as a Beatles fan.

There's a lot of wasted time and groping around for a direction and new songs.

While it's clear there was a lack of motivation, I found the collaborative process of their songwriting depicted in the first two segments absolutely fascinating, and it showed that, even though the band was on its last legs for numerous reasons, the professionalism of their craft itself was not. The group dynamic was not destined to survive the transition from the natural leadership of Lennon, based on raw talent, to the attempted leadership by McCartney, through sheer hard work and perfection of craft. 

Have any of you ever been in a band?

Some of these comments prove you have not, thus appreciate music but have no idea how it is written or performed by musicians.


As for the Beatles, list all the bands that have had better music or more influence, please.  

What is Wings?

It involves barbecue sauce, and watching really really bad ’nam B movies.

(the kind so bad, that it is wrapped right around to the other side and becomes entertaining)
