Dear Sir Paul: If you’re reading this, please let Rick interview you. Thank you.

Watching Paul just casually slapping on his bass and then suddenly hear "Get Back" being born is like watching a planet forming from space dust. Absolutely amazing especially if you're a songwriter.

Ringo was a rock. No ego. He was just there to provide the beat for whoever had a song to present.

There’s a moment where Ringo shares the chorus from Octopuses Garden and then says, “That’s all I got.” Then George Harrison sits down and helps him in the most patient and respectful way. Then, George Martin comes over. Everyone just helping each other. The lack of ego on Ringo and George was amazing. And the camaraderie even between Paul and John was next level. Loved this. ❤️

I found the relationship between Paul and Linda's daughter incredibly touching. Ringo teaching her to play drums was also a real tearjerker. They were truly just a big family.

How good is Billy Preston though?

My favorite part, Paul McCartney: "I feel like this song needs something ". (The Long and Winding Road)

I wasn't a big Beatles fan before and started watching Get Back just because I love to watch creative people create something. I loved the series for this alone. It still hit me real hard when part 3 was over. I can't imagine what hardcore fans must have felt. I'm currently deep into their catalogue, kicking myself for not doing so earlier, but happy still. Better late than never.

The moment in the first episode where Paul McCartney literally conjures Get Back out of thin air in a mixture of defiance and frustration at the lack of material they have at that point is one of the most magical things I’ve ever seen.

I liked the part where Ringo starts playing a song he wrote, and George immediately grabs a guitar so he can help his friend flesh it out. That was who George was, and I miss him most.

After watching this, Paul became, by far, my most favorite Beatles. He was so mature and talented!

One of the things that struck me the most in the films was how patient and humble Ringo was throughout all the sessions. He didn't once look bored or disengaged despite having very little active input into the songwriting process. He knew his role and he just got on with what he did best when he was needed. There was the occasional bit of footage where he was playing in between songs where you really got a glimpse of how fantastic a drummer he was. It was also really cool to see him and George working up parts of Octopus's Garden together.

One of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen is when Ringo got the courage to show them Octopus’s Garden on the piano. Then George without skipping a beat comes over immediately and starts working it through with him. I just loved that part.

This doc proved how underrated and patient ringo was . He never missed a frickin beat even when they were screening around . Not once did they need to give him direction as what to do for a song . Very stable and backbone of the bands . Much props to ringo ( and he never bitched and complained either )

I'm an amateur musician in bands for 55 years. Aside from being entertaining, this documentary is a master class in 1. Band member dynamics and how to manage their impossible tangents; 2. The varied styles of both individual and collective song creation; 3. The appearance of "goofing off" and seeming uselessness of jamming that ironically is the requirement for making amazingly different neural connections and subsequently amazing songs; 4. The masterful velvet glove of a producer like George Martin (also reflected in others around the Beatles); 5. The power of one individual/instrument (Billy Preston on keys) to alter a creative direction and musical experience; 6. The amazing combination of hard work, repetition, serendipity, and luck in how professional musicians work and how so many of the folks around the stars contributed, not to mention how open to such suggestions The Fab Four were; AND 7. The power of the surrounding environment to help or hinder creativity. Jackson did at least as much for the world's musician community as he did for the Beatles' Admiration Society!

"...then there were two.....". Chilling when you realize that the two missing from the morning meeting that day were the two no longer with us now. Watching Paul visibly shaking and near tears before getting up and walking off camera was the single most emotional scene for me.

I cried. They've been part of my life since I was 14. I'm seventy now. RIP John and George.

It's fantastic

Fantastic documentary! Three of the Beatles were who I thought they were, but watching this totally changed how I think of John. He and Paul had their little scuffles (which always happens when two alphas are in the same group), but he was much more likeable and upbeat than I thought he was. And it was very obvious that he and Paul loved each other like brothers.
