And We Are All Together / The Beatles Thread

[Chris_H_2]

I’m so into everything Beatles it’s sickening

[Chris_H_2]

I confess, however, that after watching this I don’t think I want to hear Let It Be ever again

On the opposite side of that, I think I like Get Back much more after seeing it get worked out throughout this doc.

Did Paul ever write a song about his beard? And, his nonstop scratching/stroking of it?

Top 10 maybe?

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

Did Paul ever write a song about his beard? And, his nonstop scratching/stroking of it?

"(All I Need Is) My Brandy, My Beard, and My Baby"
Outtake circa White Album era, kind of Paul's response to "All You Need is Love," whose sentiment he agreed with but whose scope he felt was just a little too narrow. Kind of a vintage rock-n-roll-styled tune, not dissimilar to "Long Tall Sally." Ultimately shelved because he felt it was too close in spirit to the superior "Back In the USSR."

Agreed on both counts.

Listened to the entire Let It Be album about ten times since seeing this.

[Jorge]

Finally finished Part 1. Ringo is now my favorite Beatle and George my least-favorite

[Chris_H_2]

it's hard to walk away from this documentary without really liking ringo. he's really endearing.

[dad]

he really is.

i've definitely gone back and listened to Let It Be at least a few times since watching this. still on ep. two though.

[wease]

Ringo really doesn’t do much of anything in it. He works up Octopus’s Garden and that’s pretty much it. He barely says a word when they’re discussing all the business stuff.

Yes. I also have a new appreciation for this.

[bada]

I think what strikes me is how comfortable they are with each other. They sing out of tune, hit bum notes, make weird suggestions for song ideas and its just all part of the process. They don't appear self conscious at all. The other thing is how effortlessly Paul can whip up to his power vocal voice or whatever you wanna call it.

He plays the roll of drummer perfectly. Just there to service the song. Ive only seen part 1 so far but i love his contributions. No bitching at all.

[epilogue]

About an hour into part two. Had to go to work, so not sure when I'll finish it. But man! this thing is so great.

[dad]

finally finished this last night. well worth the watch. it was fun watching them goof around, and still, write these hits.

went down a little rabbit hole after and i guess there's an abbey road doc in the works.

also, poor mal...

[Farmer John]

One little moment I love - Paul's "Woo!" when he first notices the police up on the roof.

[Chris_H_2]

I loved how they included the bit about Lennon meeting Klein that month and going on about how great he is. Foreshadowing!!
