- Listen to Peter Jackson as he gives us a look inside the process of making The Beatles: Get Back. See the Original Docuseries now streaming on Disney+.
It amazes me, seeing it, that they thought they were unproductive, delivering lousy music and playing badly, while they are nailing a bunch of masterpieces in 15 days, and the performing is, yes, raw, but perfect! That scene in which Paul makes up Get Back in 15 minutes is just chilling.
@@user-vj7fj3yy1u It makes me sad that these bots must actually be pretty effective if they keep spamming. Please, stop clicking the links you stupid people.
Right? I mean Lennon brings in across the universe and the next day Paul is like "haven't you got anything else done? lol
@@cjsligojones5101 across the universe was written February 1968, they resurrected that because hadn’t got much. When Paulasked he said he hadn’t got anything. Get your facts right
That Get Back scene gave me chills also
How many songs like this? George came in a couple times with "I wrote this last night" and I think Paul did too. Unreal.
I’d like to thank Peter Jackson on behalf of the fans and myself, you’ve passed the audition.
That sounds quite familiar 😁
Let's just hope they let him loose on updating the Anthology!
Has he been knighted already? If not, now would be a good time!
@Jennifer Feather Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about re editing it, just upscaling as it was done on film and it's not been digitally preserved and archived yet.
That said they could probably squeeze an extra bonus episode out
"The greatest band of all time"
I've always had faith peter jackson he was the perfect guy to make this film. Could've made one single 2 hour long film only showing a narrative, but he went with 3 parts over 2 hours each and made sure we see them as they were.
Can't wait for the 18 hour Extended Edition, lol.
Classic Peter
you can always rely on peter to make a good damn film.
Best ever
This series was absolutely beautiful and brought me to tears on several occasions, just seeing them interacting with each other and desperately trying to hold it all together. It was joyful, but melancholy at the same time as we know they'd soon break up. But they don't want to - they can feel themselves drifting, but they don't want to be. It's re-ignited my passion for the Beatles in a way I wasn't sure I'd get back.
Never go's away 👊
@@DaddyWarbucksunlimited Your post never happened.
Those last two words are a good choice.
ha! I see what you did there!
We all get a very narrow look first hand
Anything Beatles makes my day

Same here!
I will always be grateful to Peter Jackson for having corrected this long-standing perpetuated myth that this was one of the darkest episodes of the Beatles legacy. Instead, it a glorious story of redemption by 4 truly remarkably talented men who genuinely loved each other. Jackson let the movie speak for itself and what you witness is an unsurmountable pressure they put upon themselves, and yet they emerged with some of the greatest songs ever created. The movie truly humanizes them and shows the staggering amount of work put into creating their magic. Along the way you get to know John, Paul, George and Ringo like never before as 4 completely natural and genuinely nice people. My respect for them only grew from this movie. I’m sadden that this has been hidden for this long and we have lost so many of them - Linda, Maureen, Billy, George Martin, Mal Evans and of course George and John. Thank you Peter for doing this.
Perfectly stated! 👍
Let's not forget Billy Preston, also playing in the concert on the roof, great piano skills.
Finished the whole documentary and it is absolutely fabulous!
The whole final hour, of all the rooftop action and the streets below is genuinely priceless.
My wife and I were sitting up and cheering!
Highly recommended 👏👏👏
Haha I was doing the same! I kept saying you messed up Don't Let Me Down, you've gotta do it once more so the future generations see your brilliance! Haha I knew they did it a second time after hearing the mistakes, but man was it so fun to see all that footage!
Yes!
Parts 1 and 2 are great. Watching part 3 tonight. Paul saying "can you imagine looking back in 50 years people saying they broke up cause Yoko sat on an amp?" was amazingly prescient.
@@faithcurrent658 100%. The sad thing is you can very clearly see a striking difference in the way Paul deals with the public and press before the break-up vs after.
Before he was very open and straightforward with every question. After being pulled through the media's mud for years he is much more glib with a very well crafted Public Persona that he uses to this day.
@@NasonJPR I see myriad striking differences in Paul before 11SEP66 and Paul after 11SEP66!
@@iracknads He's not dead.
I wish Michael Lindsay-Hogg had done an epic fly on the wall docu-series during Revolver and Pepper. I’d kill for 60 hour plus footage of those sessions. Watching Tomorrow Never Knows or Strawberry Fields coming together in real time would be mind blowing.
there's a youtube video of John Lennon trying to figure out Strawberry Fields on acoustic if you haven't seen it ua-cam.com/video/SI5Qhib1qKU/v-deo.html
@@SilentAttackTV Thank you for this!
In the first chapter after George and John leave, Paul says ' and then there were two' referring that only Ringo an him are left, and then you think, that actually is happening right now, and some day there will be no Beatles alive. We are lucky to at least have 2 of them alive y'know.
I thought about the same thing! Just they 2 now
"And then there were two..." That was eerie...
I love The Beatles, I know I'm not alone in that. Imo Peter Jackson, him being THE right and most prestigious director/ Beatle fan, did fantastic phenomenal on restoring this LONG LONG overdue documentary to EVER been released. I've yet to watch Part 3 but so far it has been spectacular and revealing. The Beatles songs will always warm my heart, the lads in the band were destined to be together. Thank you, Peter, for doing this beautiful homage for all Beatles fans.
I just completed with 3rd part and now I have nothing to do in life. Already missing my lads 😭😭❤️❤️
I thought and feel exactly the same way!!!!!
Same tbh
Same! Been anticipating this for so long. Can we have the rest of the footage, now? LOL!
I'm so glad that Jackson and hid team worked on (and created) another documentary on these 4 legendary lads from Liverpool.
Their importance cam never be minimized or forgotten.
80% of the sessions are them just goofing around, playing a bunch of songs that have nothing to do with the album, just hanging out, jamming. And the other 20% is "finding" the album that became let it be. But 100% of it is beautiful and brilliant
Absolutely. It's equal amounts of very interesting and slightly boring as hanging out in a rehersal space for an extended amount of time is just that. It's well worth seeing but only because which band we are talking about.
One of my favorite scenes is when Ringo and friends are sitting there in the doldrums, the morning after George quit the band, and it's all heavy, and then as if on cue, in comes a florist's delivery man and he says in a tone as if someone just died, 'These are for George Harrison,' and Ringo burst out laughing because the comedic timing of that is just priceless. I loved it, like right then I knew that Ringo was thinking, 'Oh, George will be back, don't worry, we're too close as brothers for this to be the end.' And I thought any of them would've had the same reaction no matter who quit the band, they were that close.
I was 13 when The Beatles split up and have been a big fan since then. Seeing all this footage was a big pleasure and sometimes pretty emotional, realizing we have been waiting for this for more than 50 years. So to Peter Jackson: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
It really shows how much of a creative beast Paul was. So happy they made this as long as they have, it’s mesmerizing.
I've seen all three parts already...... and want to see them again. Fascinating. Great work, Peter
I just got to see the whole roof performance for the first time in my life! Thanks to all the people that made this possible!
Peter Jackson really made my dad and mom feel like kids again . The old footage really makes me wanna cry and go back in time and say you guys made music 🎵 special
Best band ever!
The Beatles will always be the best band ever and no one will ever come close
I thank Mr Peter Jackson for this documentary and I hope that I get to listen to the third part
I woke up early in the morning to ask my dad to turn on the TV for me and help me find it but I came to find out that he has to work today but hopefully he will come home quick so I can listen to the third part of the documentary
I also want to thank The Beatles for always making me very happy especially John Lennon
Love you Johnny boy😙😇
Even though you went to heaven seven years before I came to this earth I’am sure that you know you will always have a special place in my heart
Peter Jackson did a brilliant job of stripping away some of the Beatlemania gloss and showing The Beatles as human beings and how their individual talents and personalities were so crucial to their collective songcraft and ultimately their brotherhood. I was surprised to see Paul in particular show such a range of emotions, at times feeling perturbed, elated and sad for him. I've often read how Billy Preston's arrival lifted everyone up but to see it on film made it real and deeply spiritual, he's the unsung hero of this project. To see sweet George ignored was tough but he also found his moments of redemption, always the most soulful Beatle. And Lennon will always be the greatest most literate rock musician hands down. The band's most talented pure musician, Paul called him "The Boss" in that heartbreaking private conversation at the cafeteria, such is the esteem that Lennon carries. And Ringo has to be the coolest most laid back dude on the planet yet always so focused during sessions. Fantastic rare and unexpected footage, great sound restoration. This was a phenomenal series, worth rewatching to catch the nuances missed the first go around. Thank you to Peter Jackson and his team. And of course thank you Beatles.
heartfelt gratitude from a beatles fan. watched it. loved it. so much raw energy on show. so intimate. and so much more insightful than endless bootleg series of every stifled yawn that all the record companies are digging up of their stars. glad that the beatles left behind such a testament of their creative process. my heroes they always will be.
The format of the film without narration or the standard commentary of current musicians/producers being interviewed is perfect. As he set out to do, Peter Jackson Completely nails the goal of putting the viewer in the studio and perfectly uses subtitles to mark milestone events. Superbly done. I loved every second of it. My Christmas wish has been fulfilled early. Thank you!
Love The Beatles
I love the beatles more than you
I love the Beatles more than you too.
Just a fantastic piece of work. Peter Jackson stepped in and served not just as a filmmaker but as a historian and preservationist here. And thank god he did. He has created an instant classic. The image quality and sound are superb, and to the average person who may not always notice such things, it can’t be overstated just how much work he and his editorial team had to put into this to bring it to life in such a stunning manner. Kudos!!
Absolutely loved Get Back, great seeing the boys, their wags, the sound and filming guys and Billy Preston, thank you Peter Jackson.
Loved the doc , the quality of the restored footage was extraordinary!
Jackson didn't bother to release theatrical version first and then to expand it, he just made the official version AS the extended one. Now that's something!
I will get Disney Plus tomorrow & watch this!!!!
Cant wait to see this!
With all of the scary things happening in the world today new corona virus varient,etc) this show brings us some light,love, happiness & hope. ☮️💟
Beatles 4ever.
Watched part 1 and it was magnificent. What struck me is the strong and unspoken bond between Paul and John musically. I believe that George was envious of that relationship. You also see that Paul's being 'bossy' is more like him just trying to fill the vacuum left by Epstein's death (yes, he says as much and it's been talked about for years). They are also at an age where you are not 'old', but you are not kid either and you must take responsibility without being told what to do and they are struggling with that. It also became apparent that Ringo was more of a glue keeping things together than I previously thought basically by not taking sides, being supportive and also a rock solid drummer. Clearly adored by the other members as well as Yoko and Linda.
You summed up everything about their relationship as seen on this docuseries 😭💗 thank you 😭💗
I agree totally with what you have written. I have always been a Beatles fan, but now more so than ever.
@@anewleaf263 Thanks. I still feel basically the same after watching the other 2 parts. It was interesting to see the difference when they moved to the smaller studio. They had fun the rest of the way. Also, Billy Preston's arrival was like a lightning bolt. What a talent.
Perspective I guess, I saw extreme frustration from George rather than jealousy 🤷🏻♂️
Well said
In 1969, John was 29, George was 26, Billy Preston 23. That was 53 years ago. The documentary was mesmerizing but in the end I felt sad for them all. They were amazingly talented self taught musicians who managed to create incredibly creative and original songs for the world. When they wanted to, wow could they play! Price to pay when your entire life is under a microscope. Imagine being filmed while you’re trying to create something new. They did it. Have sold over 600,000,000 albums worldwide. It’s amazing but it all makes me sad.
Mr Jackson will never see this but....thank you. This is an amazing achievement and to fans, this means so much. Eight perfect hours. It is wonderful
Thank u Peter 😍😍😍😍
I feel in LOVE with the Beatles all over again.
Thank you Peter Jackson for this beautiful footage and amazing series!
WOW.. FANTASTIC..LOVED THE BEATLES THAN AND NOW..THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE THE BEATLES..
Thank you so much for brightening these chilly days.
This is the best docuseries about music ever. Seriously.
This documentary is spectacular! I feel like I am right there in the recording studio with the band. The quality is great, like it was recorded yesterday. Will all 60 hours be released someday?
Simply awesome. One of the best musical documentaries ever, which also happened to be of my favourite band! Cheers Peter!
In their last year as a band (1969), they wrote, no less than 7 classic songs : Let it Be, The Long and Winding Road, Get back, The Ballad of John and Yoko, Come together, Something and Here Comes the Sun. Not bad for a group falling apart!
👍💙🖖😉🇫🇷 Arnuad Bourbon Amaral
TBH half a songs was a are a fckin classics. Abey Road Medley, Because, Dont let me down. I can add more:P
The Ballad of John And Yoko is not great. It's just okay. It's just a retelling of events and doesn't have a timeless appeal, which most of their songs do.
@@themoviedealers The Ballad of John and Yoko rocks, man.
Just finished it. Mind-blowing
God Bless and Long Life to Peter Jackson! Thanks for this awesome masterpiece from The Fellowship of The Beatles!
I absolutely adore this docuseries!
Thank you, Peter, for another monumentally important work. You're the best.
Wow! The colour are so real! And the sounds!
I finished the whole documentary. I loved, loved, loved it. To see them work together good or bad going on between them. We as fans got to see the real John, Paul, George and Ringo. Tears as well with the loss of our phenomenal John Lennon and George Harrison. Such talented musicians . And the loss of Paul’s precious Linda as well. Thank
you Peter Jackson for this documentary of the best band ever. The Beatles ❤️
I was so excited about to watch the next after I finished the first and second.
It was an amazing series….
Really amazing timeline/insight.
Glad it was all recorded.
Saw some crazy never before seen history.
Lots of beautifully wholesome moments.
Love Beatles ❤️
Same
Brilliantly done documentary on one of the most influential and beloved bands in the world. Also, I love that the documentary featured Billy Preston and his contribution to The Beatles' last album together. John Lennon noted that Billy is the 5th Beatle. Made my heart fill with joy.
Peter and the restoration/editing crew did a fantastic job on the clean up and getting everything in order.
The picture quality was amazing! I absolutely loved it. 😎
@@TitoTimTravels Yeah, enjoying the second episode right now. The group felt like a family unit again after getting into their new Apple Studios.
As a hard core Beatles fan/student, I'll just say "What a documentary and what a band". 'Nuff said, eh?
What I enjoyed was when the cops enter the apple office and wait while debbie the receptionist stalls them. Haha gold.
"What's all this then!"
Great work. Wonderful images and sound. Inspiration, creativity and magic. Thanks Peter Jackson and his team.
That was amazing, 8 hours never went so quick. Such a reveal of the real reason the band split up, and a relief that it was obviously just their time. Musically they were simply going in different directions, which is borne out in all their subsequent solo efforts. Staying together any longer would have just amounted to 4 ex-bandmates playing on each others records. Thing is, now I want to see the whole 60 hours, in all it's unpolished splendour.
What a joy to be inside the makings of true greatness with all the struggles that comes with that and a bond that will last forever in their hearts, mine, yours and the world!! #BEATLES4EVER
Peter is a genius to make this documentary this good.
Yesterday I watched 2 of the 3 episodes.
This film is a real time machine.
it's impressive to see the construction of songs that I've been knowning since my birth.
The passage on the protest song version of Get Back resonates with what is happening at the moment between France and England.
Thanks a lot Mister Jackson.
💝from india..... ❤️ Beatles
God bless you everybody
This is probably one of the best documentaries I've ever watched, how damn lucky are we getting to see this 50 years later...what's next for the fab four I wonder?
What's next?
John: Five more years of fame and music, then a five year hiatus, then a new album, then death by assassination.
Paul: Five more years of fame and music, then a slow decline into elder status obscurity.
George: Five more years of fame and music, then a low profile until the supergroup Traveling Wilburys, then an untimely death by cancer that also included new bandmates Tom Petty and Roy Orbison dying as well.
Ringo: Five more years of fame and music, then a slow decline into elder status obscurity.
Enviable fates, all.
Money right here waiting for the Blu ray. Instant purchase.
50 years later, The Beatles are still number one! Gear ❤
This series is just fantastic, from the same processing techniques as "they shall never grow old", which is another masterpiece.
I've loved the Beatles since I was ten, and that was after they'd split and JL was already gunned down. To see Paul McCartney is ep2 talking of the possible split, you can feel his heart break, the love these guys had for each other was immense.
Hats off to you again PJ, you've come a long way from "meet the Feebles" - which is still one of my favourites 😀
I wish 52 more hours of footage showed up for me, but I loved what we got! This was absolutely incredible!
Greatest band in history
They did so good on this film. I know I'll be watching it for the rest of my life!
After George left for the week, they were renewed and when the move to Apple AND Billy Preston really rocketed the fun. Also, it would have been so great to have them do an actual concert. They looked like they really enjoyed the live show. It would have been great to hear Sgt. Pepper and White Album songs mixed with the oldies and new songs.
The Beatles Forever and Ever!!!!
I am the son of one of the biggest Beatles fans. That’s all I hear growing up, including my dad’s take on all the drama etc. It was my understanding that Paul and John were bitter rivals that couldn’t stand each other and finally they were just too big to be in the same band together. This documentary completely blew that myth out of the water. Paul and John were like brilliant twins. They were so close that the other two just couldn’t quite fit in. I have to give John and Paul a lot of credit for how well they treated George and Ringo. But I don’t fault George for feeling the way he did. Thank you for setting the record straight!
Seeing John is especially touching. ☮️💟
Before this series, I heard John's comments on the recordings -- "now he'd like to do All The Angels Come" -- as John taking the piss, checked out, no longer taking the band seriously. But what I see in the films is John the statesman, completely present, unselfishly trying to resolve conflicts and keep everyone happy and working together. Thank you, Peter Jackson!
it was amazing to see them work. really enjoy it .
Piecing the songs together, that's how they did it, great to see this thanks Peter, an amazing insight into this great group of guys.
I just finished watching the whole thing and just want to say thankyou to all involved for bringing this into being, It was amazing, almost like being there! The only down side is coming back to the present day at the end of each episode.....
Yes, it's fab, but I keep remembering bits I've seen previously that were missed out of this, so I really really REALLY want the other 50 odd hours please!
THE BEATLES FOREVER!
Just WOW amazing . Thanks Peter Jackson 👏👏👏💝
thank you, Peter Jackson
Thank you for all your work during this project
I'd like to see someday the rest of the recordings and something related to the production of Abbey Road
Please restore more! This was an amazing experience
It’s the Beatles, the greatest band of all time…
Peter is producing the Paul Mccartney " Got Back" tour. I wa lucky enough to spent 2:40 listening to and watching videos of Paul sing. Awesome show
Absolutely amazing.!! Thank You so much for this endeavor. Words are not enough. Thank You.
❤Thanks for your music, Sir Paul McCartney. It has made my life better❤
🙂Gracias por su música, Sir Paul McCartney. Ha hecho mi vida mejor 🙂
A year of waiting was worth it!!! I wish I go back in time then watch that rooftop concert.
Indeed, the greatest band of all time
So now that I was by your side for 6 hours, you just can’t leave me alone like this ! Watching this leaves me with a smile and a good feeling inside. Somehow sad however. very sad… !
I just finished watching part 3 this morning... It was awesome. Seeing the rooftop concert from start to finish, as it happened, was fantastic. Now I just wish there was more footage of them working on "Abbey Road"... 😎
Thank you, Mr. Jackson!
The Beatles :
Enak Di Dengar & Perlu.
Salam BeatleMania Dari Kota Bogor
Indonesia.
Now we want the 60 hours version of documentary remastered in 4k ^_^
Really want a deep dive into the audio and video post production please!!!
I'm so glad this happened, thank you Peter Jackson from a lifelong Beatles fan
Thanks a lot Peter for showing us the truth. For me, it's really meaningful people know the real position of Paul after all the hate people had to him. After 50 years, the story re writes and it's incredible how more people will stop to hate to Paul. The film denies a lot of myths.
Paul said the film took a lot of guilt off his shoulders. He had bought into the myth that he had been difficult and bossy, and aftter all this time finally got to see the truth of the matter.
Amazing to experience this....thanks!
Peter AND The Beatles. Yes ❤❤❤
Just watched the whole almost 7 hours of 'The Beatles - Get Back'!! Fu¢King amazing!! Now looking for my copy of "Let it Be", blowing the dust off it and reliving 1969!
When John said, "all we got is us."
I got choked up.
fantastic work. I enjoyed every minute of it, and was surprised how funny John was back then
In part three, director Michael Lindsay Hogg complained "there's no story" in all the footage they'd taken. Huge kudos to Peter Jackson for not only finding the story, but presenting it in such a compelling way.
