It’s only been several weeks since I’ve seen the 8 hour Get Back documentary on Blu-Ray, and after having seen it, I now understand why The Beatles kept the Let It Be film from release. The first two days of recording seemed to go okay, but on the third day, January 6, 1969 is when things began to fall apart. I think Ringo was right when he said they were 4 guys who really loved each other, and they didn’t like to fight argue with each other, and they certainly didn’t want to put out a product that wasn’t top notch. The Beatles took their legacy very seriously, which is why they called it quits after producing Abbey Road.
It’s mind blowing that, in less than one year, they recorded no less than seven classics: Let it Be, Get Back, Long and Winding Road, Something, Balad of John and Yoko, Here Comes the Sun and Come together. Amazing group. My total respect.
Recently discovered my grandma is subscribed to your pateron. My grandma never paid for satellite television. Only within recent years has she agreed to pay for the Internet so she can keep up to date with the family. Her paying for your pateron has surprised the entire family. Goes to show your videos truly are informative and interesting.
Excellent work on this, thanks. I like your down-to-earth voice. Please do more Beatles stuff if you can justify it. Or more Stones, or try looking at the first four Zeppelin albums.
@@PaulFormentos True - but the reality is John stopped leading. Paul stepped up and actively kept them together for at least two years longer than they otherwise would have lasted.
10:50 oh darlin is one of my favorites. I try to sing it periodically. It pushes your voice to its limits and ive almost passed out or i get headaches after.
As a succinct look at Let it Be, this video is better than the original film. 😂 Good vid! Because these sessions were so comprehensively documented, there's a lot of heavy lifting for folks out there who care to dig in. I'd recommend the still in-progress WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT podcast, which is essentially an annotated version of the Nagra tapes. The raw tapes are there, but WoOD gives some great context.
I had to laugh out loud at the end when you said the album was widely criticized and showing Donna Reed's character in "It's a Wonderful Life" angrily breaking that album on the top of her phonograph. That's great. "Liverpool Boys Won't You Come Out Tonight" ("and... dance by the light of the music", or maybe... "dance by the light of the money"?? Yeah! That's the ticket!!)
Let it be was actually recorded before abbey road (except for “I me mine” and the overdubs on “let it be”), but was released after abbey road was done. The reason it wasn’t released before abbey road was because it was unfinished and was still in the process of being mixed. After abbey road was released, Paul, George, and ringo then finished “I me Mine” and put some overdubs on “Let it be”, and that finished the let it be album. That was the last thing that they did before splitting.
@@PaulFormentosaw cheers m8, can you tell him I thought lovely rita sucked and he coulda thrown Harri a bone and put only a northern song on pepper be much appreciated 👍✌️
I guess John felt enthusiastic about trying a new style on guitar (lap steel). That was probably the only reason he put any effort into it. Most other George songs he showed no interest at all.
They didn't have any interest in it all. It sounded lame and half assed when they were rehearsing it in Get Back. That was a smart move that George made, saving it for his own solo endeavor.
George had a valid point. Just look at the song count of the white album. Both John snd Paul had twelve songs each. George had four and Ringo had two. The majority of Beatle albus have fourteen tracks, so having twelve tracks to yourself is almost like a soli album. Paul could have given up Ehy zDon't we do it in the road and the two honey pies. john could have given up revolution.. As fun as revolution 9 is to listen to does that really belong on a Beatles album? i don't think sny of the others contributed to it. its really a john and yoko thing
@GenericNintendoKid Nothing regarding The Beatles is plain and simple. Being only 13 when he joined John's skiffle group he was younger than the other guys and not taken seriously. He did not come up with Beatle worthy songs until mid 1965 when Help was released. I Need You and You Like Me Too Much are just as catchy as most of the songs John and Paul were coming up with at the time. "Only A Northern Song," "Blue Jay Way," "If I Needed Someone" "It's All Too Much," " I Me Mine" and "For You Blue" are all good George songs. When George said " James has got nothing on this baby." during " For You Blue" he was referring to Paul whose middle name is James. I
So George left The Beatles (briefly) because John slagged I Me Mine (George even decided right then and there, that's the title of I me mine revenge book I mean, my eventual biography). John was of course right.
Yoko stole Paul's confidence before his very eyes amd let him know what was happening without announcing it, and she did this to stop his psychic bullying the others, her man foremost. Paul was not overrly aghressive towards others but had a genius for the quiet domination over any room. She recognized this and so began puncturimg his aura while she crouched behind John, using her status as his latest lover to pretend she was just some new girlfriend without an opinion until it was too late, John was bored with the band, Paul's efforts to keep the four of them together reeked of desperation.
I love the let it be 2009 remaster i prefer universe on side one and chat on the album. I hate gyles hit and miss bodge job remix albums. I don't care about naked anymore. I do like both versions of winding road and dig it on the get back album and let it be.
I never thought that Ringo would one day be my favorite Beatle. It was always one of the other 3, but Ringo is just salt of the earth.
😬😬
@@keili222 He had the coolest hair on the" let it be " album cover, Maureen's efforts?.

Best beatles documentary backstories. Good job.
waiting for the day you make videos that are more in-depth on these guys solo albums, always great content.
Can’t wait for that too. Especially for All things must pass.
It'll happen soon.

I’ve never heard of the ballad or something or long and winding road. B sides
One of the 2 You Tube Channels that I give money to. Well worth it!

That was outstanding. For Beatle freaks it was awesome. Thank you so much. I loved it
Amazing doc as always, cheers!
You do superb work! Thank You!
Well researched. Top job. 👍
Thank you so much!

Much appreciated, with the views quite low
One of the best comparisons. Thanks. Nice bass too
Huge fan of the channel, would love to see more solo beatle stuff and more rolling stones videos too!

Great recap! Thanks!
underrated content
F-ing Yoko. ALWAYS THERE. John was a douche for his behavior.
He was not happy bout Paul takin over HIS band
@@PaulFormentos True - but the reality is John stopped leading. Paul stepped up and actively kept them together for at least two years longer than they otherwise would have lasted.
I love these videos
You’re a real one!
The title track “Let it Be “ is painfully stark for such a great song production wise
"He's Dead He's dead"

Memorable, unique album, well balanced.
You are the greatest woo
Just watch “Get Back” and you’ll know that everything was just peachy between them. Great album, too, their best.
GET BAACK, GET BAACK
Abbey Road really was their swan song. Let It Be was kind of a damp squib after that.
But, Let Be, or Get Back was recorded before Abbey Road, released after.
So Abbey Road is actually their swan song. ✌️
Let it be was actually recorded before abbey road (except for “I me mine” and the overdubs on “let it be”), but was released after abbey road was done. The reason it wasn’t released before abbey road was because it was unfinished and was still in the process of being mixed.

That was the last thing that they did before splitting.
@@bingus3671exactly. They did not complete Let It Be until mid 1970. Everyone ignores that fact.
I prefer Let It Be to Abbey Road.
Does anyone have a source for the bus “conductor” yelling at Paul?
I can’t find any info on that.
'Get back' should have been the opener.
I'll ring Sir Paul so he can change that for ya
@@PaulFormentosaw cheers m8, can you tell him I thought lovely rita sucked and he coulda thrown Harri a bone and put only a northern song on pepper be much appreciated 👍✌️

Never been this early
the beatles: "we're falling apart"
Why's 'let it be' gotta be Muted, but not any others?.🤔

Isn’t it a pity and Let it down. George was on fire. But they chose a subpar For You Blue for the album. Not sure how.
I guess John felt enthusiastic about trying a new style on guitar (lap steel). That was probably the only reason he put any effort into it. Most other George songs he showed no interest at all.
Harrison alleged John and Paul had no interest in "all things must pass", yet they did 35 takes.
They didn't have any interest in it all. It sounded lame and half assed when they were rehearsing it in Get Back. That was a smart move that George made, saving it for his own solo endeavor.
The Beatles did more than 100 takes of Not Guilty!
I wish we could have the original Get Back album
They included it as one of the discs in the 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Reissue!
@someguyinguam I don't see a CD of that
George had a valid point. Just look at the song count of the white album. Both John snd Paul had twelve songs each. George had four and Ringo had two.

George wasn’t as good a song writer. Plain and simple.

He was speaking of elmore james not Paul...he even says Elmore...try again@@dean-ph2ww
So George left The Beatles (briefly) because John slagged I Me Mine
(George even decided right then and there, that's the title of I me mine revenge book I mean, my eventual biography).
John was of course right.
For context: Ringo was the oldest of the bunch, he's 28 here, as is John. TWENTYFUCKINGEIGHT
So?
I understand John is in love with Yoko but no way should be There during the recording 🎸🤔🤷
that's not john. that's the fake john. to keep everyone distracted.

No wonder George was fed up with it all
