Documentary : The Beatles - Get Back

The Beatles - Get Back

I'm about 3.5 hours in. Some interesting things I observed:

-Paul telling John, "You're the boss and you've always been the boss"
-It was cool to hear some songs that were to be released on future albums (band/solo)
-I wish they hadn't wasted so much time playing old covers not to seriously.
-Lennon is funny as usual.


John and Paul make some interesting statements of how "In 50 years, we can all sing", or how people in the future will be seeing this.. I heard it before, but I still find it funny Paul says, "People will think The Beatles broke up because Yoko sat on an amp"

There is a mistake with the subtitles. The interviewer asks if anyone has ever left like this (George suddenly quit) and they say:

John: "Well, Ringo" when it's OBVIOUSLY Paul.. I wonder if anyone else caught that or had similar observations.

I'll also add that Hogg is annoying, but looks like Orson Welles (he even mentions him, and John starts playing the "The Third Man" theme).

Sounds like something I would enjoy

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

Yeah, it's 3 parts, about 8 hours long. I think you'd like it.

I always loved John. He was my favorite, and of course he was the boss! It's shame how he died. I believe he and Paul would be singing together again had he lived.

"Yoko sat on an amp." Caught that in the trailers. I'll have to watch this.

Glad you're enjoying it!

"I always loved John. He was my favorite, and of course he was the boss! It's shame how he died. I believe he and Paul would be singing together again had he lived."

Yeah, two or three of them would get together and play on albums or even live.

And Paul and John hung out together at John's place in NY.
They were watching SNL when Lorne Michael's came on and offered them like 3K as a joke to reunite on his show.
John and Paul actually talked about showing up to collect it!
Unfortunatly they talked themselves out of it.

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

Thanks. I agree.

You should definitely watch it. It seems like the average fan doesn't think it's exciting enough, but I love "in the studio" stuff, how songs are composed, but I love the conversations, especially the personal stuff. I'm guessing they just used the material they had. I like conversation as opposed to rehearsing the same songs (unless there a difference) but you should check it out anyway.

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

I will. I've always been a rabid Beatles fan, so this is a must!

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

I wish I had Disney Plus. I have wanted to see this so much.
I'm sure that I will eventually. It will most likely come out on DVD… fingers crossed.

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

Me too! Here's hoping they get the DVD out soon.

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

Thanks! I'll check it out right now!

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

You're welcome :)

P.S. - I'd advise everyone to keep their eyes on the screen. There's many subtitles with annotations while they're talking that one wouldn't know about if they were looking at their phone, or thinking they could run to the kitchen and just listen while they jam, etc.

I sometimes forget the feature is there!

Re: The Beatles - Get Back

I find it remarkable that it's most viewed between people in their 30s (30-44), since over 44 could be 54, 64, 74, 84, especially considering the age group of those in 1969.

Theory/Conclusion – music and movies were just better then, and the stats don't lie.
