If you haven’t seen the Get Back Beatles documentary that came out during Covid it’s definitely worth a watch.

It’s very long (3 parts, 9 hours?) but it’s the best type of documentary (just observing them create the let it be album).

You see all this stuff, the creative process, humor/conflict, gibberish words before they have the real ones, figuring out the tune, messing around with ideas etc.

It’s probably the best observation I’ve seen of this sort of thing in any recorded media ever.

There is an epic, enjoyable read about “Get Back” from someone who deeply knows The Beatles in case you missed it the first turning.

This is great, thanks!
You’re welcome. I am not a Beatles expert so I appreciated the insight and perspective from this expert.
