[@markywellsboy2182]

I've watched some of the youtube videos of Ringo being interviewed with a set of drums and a small audience. Funny and enlightening. I'm not a musician, but it's fascinating to hear how his particular rhythm and style was formed because of his natural left hand playing on a right hand setup. And I never realised how many fantastic songs can be recognised just from a drum intro or beat.

He might not be wailing out Neil Peart solos but you can play anything and Ringo will start drumming at the exact time he's needed

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.

The dynamic between them is so captivating. Paul is steering the ship, well aware that the others might not like that, but also that he really is the only one capable of doing that. John can come off as careless and arrogant, but he cares a great deal about the others, but because of who he is, it's not always obvious he does. George gains confidence after his temporary leave, knowing he gained back some control, and deciding that it's best to do his own thing for a bit. And Ringo is the true professional. Always attentive, instinctively knowing what to do and how to lighten the mood. It's a shame it all went to pieces over a shitty management deal and some minor personal differences that blew up after that.

George already has ‘attracts me like a pomegranate’. Please don’t diminish his talent when he obviously wrote both the music and words. They worked as a group, collaboratively to reach their many many songs. George wrote lines for John’s songs, Paul’s songs and even Ringo’s meagre (allowed) contribution. Before anybody says anything, John was my favourite Beatle until the mid 1970’s It was then I realised, the 1960’s were a truly special time. The Beatles made magic happen (musically).

The genesis of a classic. How nice to have the likes of John, Paul, Ringo, and George Martin as sounding boards. This clip gives me chills.

Wow. Even in this raw practice run, the underlying beauty keeps bubbling to the surface.

Fun Fact: you'll notice Linda with a camera in many of these clips. She was the first female photographer to have a picture used on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine (Eric Clapton - May 11, 1968)

George was only 26 when the Beatles broke up. Take that in for a minute, how young he was coming up with all these brilliant ideas.

That’s what’s fascinating about this documentary. Hearing and seeing the birth of songs that everyone in the world has taken for granted for over 50 years. I find myself willing The Beatles on saying to myself “ You’re nearly there, you’re nearly there” it’s mesmerising!

Yeah it is astonishing. It's as if these songs were always there, fully formed. To see them emerge into existence from an idea, laying down the barest foundations is wonderful to watch.

@@bhamacuk IMO, if you’re under the age of 50, these songs HAVE always been there. We don’t know a world without the Beatles or their music. I was born in 1978, and my parents played the Beatles while I was in the crib (or so I’ve been told). And now with two little ones of my own, it’s amazing to see them be in wonder of the Beatles. My feelings are within two generations, the Beatles are going to be like nursery rhymes, taught like Mother Goose and Aesop to youngsters. At least, in my world they will.

John was a good lyricist. He perfectly suggest the word "cauliflower" to retain the intended rhyme. He was good in improvisation for words and he did it on majority of his songs, including "Dig a Pony". I bet it would be a beautiful song if he only had the inspiration needed for the words on that song.

It's a great way to keep your imagination going. A teacher told me once "when you're stuck writing, just repeat a random word or write nonsense until something sticks or something comes to mind". It keeps your mind going, keeps in the rythm. Quite literally in case of songwriting.

[@Snoopdog333333]

Not lost on me that George asks for Paul for help. Goes to show you that through all the anger and animosity George still respected Paul's talent and ability to compose a song. I absolutely love this movement. George had this on his own, but still reached out to his brothers for validation.

The quality of that footage remastering is insane. I can't believe how this looks.

[@JA-io8nx]

@@viiviketomaki7284 No way. This restoration is mind boggling. It requires a skilled trained expert, and very rarely will you see restorations done this well..

[@viiviketomaki7284]

Restorations done by organisations like The Film Foundation look far better. They don't try to hide the original grainy look with modern effects but just enhance it to be as sharp and clean as it was when new. That's what restoration should be about. This digital smoothing is just off-putting and weird and destroys the original texture of the image.

[@JA-io8nx]

@@viiviketomaki7284 Disagree. I don't need to see anything grainy because it was shot 50 years ago. The smoothness and clarity and restoration of it making it look like it was filmed yesterday IS the appeal to it.

[@viiviketomaki7284]

@@JA-io8nx The grain is what holds the detail of the image. You can't just remove it. Removing it is like removing pixels. You can only smooth over it creating an artificial looking image. This makes the Beatles look like characters from Polar Express. This was shot 50 years ago and it's a historical document, not everything needs to look like it was shot yesterday because it wasn't. You don't make the Mona Lisa look like it was a photograph shot yesterday, you preserve the way it once was.

[@commanderjoj6426]

The look on John’s face says it all. It seems like he knows the song will be special once George puts it together. The gentle encouragement. He knew when nobody else did.

[@sirfriendzone1228]

I was in a History of Rock in Roll class at Indiana University. Our Professor, Dr. Glenn Gass had Kenny Aronoff, who is most famous for playing drums with John Mellencamp but has played for many others including John Fogerty for many years come in to speak. During the question and answer period, he was asked about Ringo Starr. He had just come from playing with Jefferson Airplane in their somewhat aborted 1989 reunion tour. He said Ringo Starr showed up during one of the rehearsals so they canceled the rehearsal and jammed with Ringo for several hours. Aronoff said, "The beat was rock solid. It never moved from the time he sat down to the time he stood up. Ringo is by far the greatest 'time-keeper' in the history of Rock music."
