Subject: The Beatles - Get Back (New Documentary)

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 too seriously and with no energy.
-Hogg is annoying, but looks like Orson Welles (he even mentions him, and John starts playing the "The Third Man" theme).
-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"
It's odd how EVERYONE complains about the acoustics, which is one of the most important things when it comes to recording, but they don't ditch the idea until George temporarily quits the band....
It was real cool to hear John talk about this band he really likes named "Fleetwood Mac"

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 :)

Have only seen the first two. Why did Peter Sellers show up? And George quit because they didn't listen to him and approve his music?

Really enjoying this although hard to watch more than an hour at a one sitting.
Paul seems like the boss to me so far (episode 1)

The stats tells you that there aren't many as IMDB users aged 54, 64, 74 and 84 as there are users in their 30's.

He (and Ringo) were about to begin filming for "The Magic Christian" next door.

^Thanks. For me it was odd how nonchalantly George stood up and said I'm leaving the band now. And none of the other band mates tried to stop him. Did they leave out that footage?

I was quite shocked by that as well. They just went to lunch, came back and said "if he's not back by Tuesday we'll get Clapton in".

Maybe they didn't record something that happened right before, because as you said, it was so sudden.

Well that's my point, there were a gazillion pressings of these albums that they have no real value, you can find them in any used bin in a record store.
1st issue UK mono variant of Sgt Pepper in NM condition can be had for about $500-$800, as compared to a 1st issue DSOtM UK A2/B2 variant in VG++/NM will run you $1500-$3000+.
