[@randomguy6117]

Ringo saying "I want to play on the roof" is one of my favorite moments in the documentary. Paul is really reluctant, George doesn't want to do it, and John clearly wants to but doesn't bring himself to push Paul directly. But when the question is put to Ringo, he says flat out -- I want to play. That moment changed the dynamic. Without Ringo, that iconic concert probably never happens. Bless him.

[@robbrown4621]

Yes, Ringo was a man of very few words while the band was working out their new material. But, it just goes to show how much respect the group had for Ringo. When he said yes, he literally changed Paul and George's mind. They then said , yes, too...

[@clearfield2009]

George "Does this mean we have to play on the chimney?" 🤣 Paul, "George doesn't want to play on the roof, do you George?" George, "No, I don't want to play on the roof!

I also just watched Get Back. It was amazing to see these icons so young with the film looking like it was filmed just yesterday. They were at their height and yet the food on offer was a lot of tea and toast! Recording artists today would probably have a chef preparing special meals. All I could think was that the studio must have stunk like an ashtray because they were all chain smoking. What a wonderful feeling of love and friendship they had, even with the crew. I loved that when George left they all went together to see him at his home, twice, to work things out. You could see that there was genuine feeling of family between them. I loved also how great they all were with Paul's daughter Heather, you could see that she was completely comfortable with all of them, shows how much time she must have spent with them outside of work. I was taken with how clinging Yoko was with John, but also caring and fun. It was interesting that the others didn't seem to interact with her much but also didn't seem to mind her there. I did wonder if the studio crew got frustrated with all the clowning around as it seemed to slow things up but what a wonderful illustration of how creative they all were and how they all worked together to develop a song no matter which one wrote it.

Was just thinking about being born in 1960 and having two older sisters - The Beatles were the first music I even remember hearing. And hearing it ALL THE TIME...for over a decade. At one point, they even had a Saturday morning cartoon that would have at least two songs per episode (Ringo seems like the main character on that). What an enormous deal the Ed Sullivan appearance was. A.M. radio... It's hard for people today to imagine how ubiquitous they were. There has really never been anything like it since. The Beatles were music.

The Beatles were the '60's!!Period!!They say if you remember the '60s,you really weren't there,well,The Beatles certainly helped with us being there,that's for sure!!And with remembering being there!!Whoever said that quote was dead wrong!!Probably that idiot,Timothy Leary,Tune in,tune out,drop out...Ying-yang,he was...

[@ronmartin4212]

Tune in,turn on,drop out,I meant,as Leary's quote.

[@spinztarella]

I watched all three episodes and I was struck by how good looking Ringo was - he looked especially healthy and ruddy, great skin, hair and everything so I guess he's always had good genes to look as good as he does now

[@alegreone]

Saw Ringo and his All Starr Band in Nashville about three years ago and his energy on stage was amazing. Wonderful, fun show.

[@aristobulus8754]

Ringo and Stephen is the collision of my idols i have been waiting for ever since i discovered the both of them

[@looseparts]

We just finished watching all 3 parts. I'm 70, so I was in it so to speak, and Stephen's take-away is mine. An absolute about face on how I felt about them, after they broke up. I assumed it was all John's fault, etc. and not to give anything away, but they really were having fun. Loving each other. Getting their work done. Stay to the 3rd episode, as the first two are good build up to it... but the sugar is in the 3rd.

[@stevesloan7132]

I really like Ringo Star. Great artist and a great guy. His appearance on that TV show where he was popping bubble wrap was priceless! Great sense of humor and positive outlook.

[@LennyJohnson5]

Ringo is one of the greats. We should love and cherish him.

[@natalie651]

I've got a feeling that this man has got a really amazing lovely beautiful pure heart.

[@bluetarot9244]

He looks awesome!! Love the Beatles!!

[@thinkforyourself828]

I love that Ringo dyes his hair and beard. Sorry all you age-gracefully saps, color retains youth, and his vibe is rockin.

[@dabreu]

Yes, Sharma. I agree so much with you. And Ringo can do it. I mean, it looks so fine on him. Ringo Forever! The Beatles Forever.

[@stephenfeldman8104]

It didn't look so good on Paul, so it's a case by case basis.

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

Only if the rest of your face and body matches. I’ve seen so many old men at the pool who look wrinkled and aged but have cheap coal black hair. Same for women. It works for Ringo because he looks tremendous anyway.

[@ericblair54]

Yeah....tell that to Jimmy Page.

[@michelepaccione8806]

Looks great on him. But gray hair is better on Paul.

[@SayHelloToOblivion]

Ringo looks amazing. He’s such a sweetheart. I’m so thrilled to hear him talk of the other lads as just brothers who sometimes have a row here and there. Pure brotherhood, these legends. ❤️

[@dmh8002]

Ringo is priceless!

[@vampirelogan]

Ah Ringo, he has always been my favorite Beatle, the funny one, the most friendly! Love him!

[@jamesodowd4461]

I’ve stood on that roof in savile row where they did that final performance it was weird I was never a big beetles fan but you can feel the history in that place

[@Bill_Jones.]

I love that Ringo’s newest album is on reel to reel.

[@declonmeaney1518]

Its amazing that Ringo Starr has been in show business for almost 60 years. He is now in his 80's but looks better that some people in their 40's.

[@d.a.elliottjr.367]

I often complain to myself how old & grandfatherly most rock stars of Ringo's time now look but I don't have that complaint about Ringo. He makes me feel less fearful about getting old.

[@phagen0921]

The same thought just struck me. Watch the booze, have a positive outlook and have fun.

[@JoDee172]

The Beatles' breakup was the 1st divorce I ever experienced. I was 7. When my dad told me the news I cried real tears

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

There's an old Paul McCartney quote that says something like "I was lead guitar, then I was demoted to rhythm guitar and finally to the bass. There was always this frightful fear that I'd end up as the drummer." I can't recall which interview now but I think it was sometime in the 90s, but it always makes me giggle to think about it :) There are many types of intelligence, and Ringo's is the gift of 'instinct'--he has musical intuition, which is really his brilliance. These were great interviews--thanks Stephen!!

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

I love Ringo's drumming especially on, "I've Got a Feeling"..Ringo reminds me of a jazz drummer)

[@SilentKnight43]

Watched a good chunk of Jackson's documentary last night and although large stretches of it were tedious and definitely for hardcore Beatles fans only - at times it was fascinating to watching the songwriting process. The rooftop concert was amazing - and I laughed at the cops efforts to shut it down. It was bittersweet seeing them in their youth jamming out - and then thinking half of them aren't with us any longer. Some of the comments from pedestrians on the street were amusing - one lady commenting, "It's all just noise" - so funny considering what a historical and epic event the rooftop appearance was at the time.

[@beccamatic]

Well said. Part 1 definitely required the most patience and was watched in the most "chunks". There were some amusing moments, but some parts were a bit tedious. But I loved seeing the dynamic between them and their different personalities. And it hit me again and again that John and George are no longer alive, and how that made it even more special to see these guys making music together, and still so young!

[@SilentKnight43]

@@beccamatic What really struck me was the relatively short span of time between the song concept - like Get Back - and the completely finished version just days later. In one part we see Paul just startin' to put the simple melody together on his bass while humming much of it before the lyrics were added. And then not too much later they were performing the fully fleshed-out version on the roof with all the ingredients added. A rare peak behind the curtain of history.

[@anic5805]

Dang, SO youthful looking AND sounding... Good energy ☀️🌠☯️🦋🌴

[@billstager9477]

I've seen Ringo play live several times. He really is a good drummer!

[@mariovuksanovic5077]

Could it be that he looks so youthful because he acts youthful. In the Beatles videos, he is always smiling....his mantra is peace and love...he walks the walk and talks the talk.....so follow Ring's lead.....smile, be as happy as you can in every situation and always wish peace and love to all...and if on top of that, you learn how to play the drums or a musical instrument,. You can be as young as Ringo at any age. That's my opinion and I welcome yours..

[@margaretpeabody243]

It's amazing Ringo looks like he's in his forties. Stephen, however, possesses that eternal youth quality.

[@thebasementband8366]

Great go at things ringo does. I grew up listening to these blokes

[@thebasementband8366]

I’m a nrmalnsm. P

[@thebasementband8366]

I’m not alowed

[@Nothing_Israel]

Ringo is a living legend and I hope I get to see him live

[@BuzzcutGtr]

"...You can also get 'Zoom In' on cassette." "YOU'RE KIDDING?!?" "OK, BYYYYYYYE!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@katiehettinger7857]

Oh my God, he's 10 years older than me and people are always saying I look young for my age he hasn't hardly aged at all.

[@ktom5262]

His hair is really grey.

[@cleatusbarncoat8642]

The Beatles have never let us down. And I certainly hope that we haven’t let them down either. Much love, much respect, lads, thank you.

[@sanstar2007]

I love Ringo Starr AND Stephen Colbert!

[@LeGadabout]

Omg that exit. Chef kiss.

[@Yourdeadmeat69]

56 hours of unused material? Finally a reason Beyond Death to sit at home and watch the TV

[@jeanniehelliwell1599]

He and his wife gave up drinking years and years ago. That’s why he looks so well.

[@mpinline1]

Now THAT’S a True Legend! Incredible energy and spirit at 80! Hope he spreads the Peace & Love for many many more and beyond!

[@roberthayes9842]

Ringo looks, sounds and act's amazing
