The Beatles: Get Back | Official Trailer | Disney+
The official trailer for #TheBeatlesGetBack is here! The Disney+ original docuseries, directed by Peter Jackson, will be arriving on Disney+ just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Made entirely from never-before-seen, restored footage, it provides the most intimate and honest glimpse into the creative process and relationship between John, Paul, George, and Ringo ever filmed. Be sure to check them both out, and don’t forget to watch “The Beatles: Get Back” when it rolls out over three days, November 25, 26, and 27, 2021, exclusively on Disney+.
Directed by three-time Oscar®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson (“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “They Shall Not Grow Old”), “The Beatles: Get Back” takes audiences back in time to the band’s January 1969 recording sessions, which became a pivotal moment in music history. The docuseries showcases The Beatles’ creative process as they attempt to write 14 new songs in preparation for their first live concert in over two years. Faced with a nearly impossible deadline, the strong bonds of friendship shared by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr are put to the test. The docuseries is compiled from nearly 60 hours of unseen footage shot over 21 days, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, and from more than 150 hours of unheard audio, most of which has been locked in a vault for over half a century. Jackson is the only person in 50 years to have been given access to this Beatles treasure trove, all of which has now been brilliantly restored. What emerges is an unbelievably intimate portrait of The Beatles, showing how, with their backs against the wall, they could still rely on their friendship, good humor, and creative genius. While plans derail and relationships are put to the test, some of the world’s most iconic songs are composed and performed. The docuseries features - for the first time in its entirety - The Beatles’ last live performance as a group, the unforgettable rooftop concert on London’s Savile Row, as well as other songs and classic compositions featured on the band’s final two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be.
An exciting new collaboration between The Beatles and Jackson presented by The Walt Disney Studios in association with Apple Corps Ltd. and WingNut Films Productions Ltd., “The Beatles: Get Back” is directed by Peter Jackson, produced by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison, Peter Jackson, Clare Olssen (“They Shall Not Grow Old”) and Jonathan Clyde (“Eight Days a Week”), with Apple Corps’ Jeff Jones (“Eight Days a Week”) and Ken Kamins (“The Hobbit” trilogy) serving as executive producers. Jabez Olssen (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) serves as the film’s editor, the music supervisor is Giles Martin (“Rocketman”), Michael Hedges (“The Adventures of Tintin”) and Brent Burge (“The Hobbit” trilogy) serve as the series re-recording mixers, and the music is mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell (“Yesterday”).
I bet if you stream all 57 hours unedited, a lot people would watch.
I would.
I would
I hope it's a series doc
no doubt. I would
Definitely! I would.
Peter Jackson is a true prodigy amongst filmmakers. And I can't say enough about Andy Serkis playing every member of the band flawlessly. The CG here is flawless. It's so seemless, almost as if it was real.
😂 . I think your irony passed most by!
I can't wait for the special extended version. The one where Sauron splits the Beatles as he controls their rings of power.
My friend you win the comments section!
@@williamjohnson928 Yeah, but first, he splits George's instruments
I don't know, I think his Ringo is a bit off.
This whole documentary feels so surreal. You feel like you’re in a room with the Beatles, not to mention seeing them and being with them from day to day… and in such high quality! Over 7 hours of history in the making!
Its all AI deepfaked technology - not real.
@@JackovdaBoro Lol what
They probably mentioning the AI upscaling.
I felt like I was in the room with yoko fukin ono for 9 hours
i'm sold
My wife's grandfather was the young bobby on the roof that said "No I'm not threatening you or anything". All four of the Beatles signed the inside of his helmet before he left. Shortly after George Harrison's death, we were offered over 2 million pounds for it. It still sets in a glass case by our tele. Money is only money but the Beatles are "The Beatles".
You are obviously lying lol
*George Quits* “So what’s our next move?” John: “We split George’s instruments.”
Lol
I didn't see that coming!!!😂😂😂
Meaning his musical parts, of course
@@joshuahuizing1142 yes.....everybody thinking it means breaking his instruments 🙄
@@joecommie4890 no, they think it means claim them among themselves
The footage. The sound. The personalities. The music. I’m not sure I ever thought that a fresh perspective on the Beatles was possible. I think we’re weeks away from 6 hours of fresh Beatle perspective. A breath of fresh air in rotten times. Let’s do this.
Yeah, well, there's another 50 hours of footage that tells a different story...
@@SpaceCattttt pretty sure a lot of that will be in here, too. I guess by fresh perspective, I meant fuller perspective. Not just the doldrums of the breakup. But thanks for checking in, truth warrior.
The upscaling... would have preferred the original rough footage, would have lent itself better to the times.
@@FightCollective I hear you. I guess I’m in it for immersion to feel like I’m there rather than feeling like I’m watching it in a theater in the 70s. I do think there’s a place for both!
@@JMcG520 I do a lot of editing myself and have tried upscaling old footage. So I'm surprised this upscaling isn't much better than what I could do at home on my own pc (given my pc enough time)... upscaling is very pc intensive. Their faces and footage don't look right. It looks like a bad photo you see on social media where someone has used a 'smoothing' filter lol.
Watching Paul and John work together to master these masterpieces is something never to be replicated ever again. The way Paul came up with get back genuinely gave me goosebumps.

Debemos agradecer que por McCartney tenemos el honor de escuchar los ultimos albumes beatles El pidio a ellos grabar eso y muchos no han valorado el trabajo de el
This blew my mind and my respect for Paul is through the roof. It looks like it all happened yesterday. Loved it. ❤️
Super duper
It is such an insane feeling to see new Beatles footage of this quality with completely fresh eyes, it's making me fall in love with them all over again..
It looks like it was shot yesterday!
Amen
The Beatles are so impressive for so many ways. The world is so happy to see this.
Us fans from around the world, must immediately watch this #thebeatles
I want the DVD 4 Xmas.........YEEAAHH
I love how they evolved because of the constant interest in other forms and styles of music... as opposed to people like Madonna who merely reinvented' themselves because people tired of what they were doing.
@@Genious. Weird.
@@johnmartinez7440 Obtuse
This is so, so, SO, well put-together. It's insane.
Where can you get it from?
We can't go back in time, but this looks like the next best thing. Geez, they were good; brings tears to my eyes watching this so long after the fact. The history of western music would never have been the same without the Beatles. They appeared for a time, and I was blessed to have lived through that era.
My husband and I were just amazed at the quality of this footage. I got Abbey Road for Christmas at age 11 and I played it on my record player ALOT!!
I’m in tears and shaking watching this !!!!! So great
even if you could go back in time, they would never let you in the studio for 3 weeks...

"Before Elvis, there was nothing." - John Lennon
It is truly unbelievable how modern this looks. Film restoration truly is an art form.
It’s only because they put a smoothing filter over the whole thing to get rid of the grain, if you look close you can see what almost look like brush strokes where the detail has been smoothed away. It looks pretty bad if you ask me. I’d much rather have a high res scan of the negative with its natural grain than a smoothed out version like this. Not to mention it kinda feels too modern, the era is definitely important to the story here and I feel smoothing that out into a clean digital look loses something important. A good example of film restoration without losing detail is the 2019 Apollo 11 documentary, the film there still has its natural grain and looks much better.
@@samueltufts it looks great to me…
@@samueltufts Yeah, it looks awful.
@@samueltufts I agree! As you can see in the rooftop part of the trailer, the detail is not there because of too much denoising that Peter Jackson used. I would rather have the quality of the 1+ video collection rather than something that lost detail. Edit: If you also pause on 2:37, you can clearly see that George's guitar has no strings. The reason that happened because of too much denoise (removal of grain) which causes it to lose detail.
almost looks as good as the nw iPhone 13. almost.
“We will never get a chance to go this again” If only things would’ve been different. RIP John and George
They nearly did another album after Abbey Road. The original plan was that its would be 4 songs by John, 4 by Paul, 4 by George, and 2 by Ringo
And Paul...Mal Evans...Brian Epstein.
@@benjaminlewis2706 Absolutely 100 % right. Good knowledge there.
@@thorpenator9148 Paul didn’t die.
@@KevDraws Where did he go? The man who uses the stage name Paul McCartney since 1967 is William or Bill.
I watched it about 20 times. Something people forget is that in their day - when they were a band and as big as they were we hardly ever saw them. Almost the entire Beatlemania thing from '63 to '70 was received by us via records. I think from 1964-1970 I actually only saw them perform on tv 4-5 times in all plus the three films. Of course I also saw the original Let It Be film at the theater in '70 and for me it was a bummer considering that we could see the end was upon us. And the way the film was edited and the low quality of it made the whole thing less than thrilling. Then they were gone. That makes the long wait for this film such a revelation and joy and with so many individual moments to be able to go back over and re watch it is just so beautiful. Thank you Peter Jackson. Thank you JPGR. You're still the best.
Oh my heart... loved every second of this documentary. Thank you Peter Jackson. Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo.... and Billy too!
Where did you see it? Is it on sale?
I really couldn't imagine the world without The Beatles. Their songs are masterpieces and truly timeless. Message to future generations, never let their songs die!!!
It's all good. The songs are timeless masterpieces. They ain't going away anytime soon. Just the fact that they still have so much popularity after 50+ years says it all. Of course those who grew up with it have an emotional attachment does not mean newer listeners don't' appreciate or recognize the greatness.
There's an entire movie about it called "Yesterday"
Music without the Beatles would be like books without Shakespeare.
@@Genious. You should try to look at the world from non-Anglo-Saxon perspective sometimes. Shakespeare has had a great influence on western literature, but there have been many authors who were atleast as influential as him.
@@haileyshannon7548 yeah I know that, I love that movie. So ironic, the world's electricity is shut down for a while and made everyone forgot The Beatles 😂😂😂
Even if for some reason they aren't your favorite band, your favorite band wouldn't exist without the Beatles. I got to see them live in '65.
There was music before The Beatles arrived and started ripping off American bands.
Yes to this. No Beatles, no Black Sabbath, therefore, no metal. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

I was 17 yrs old in 1969, and grew up with this music. But not realizing the greatness of it, I let it almost pass without appreciating the Beatles, thinking of it at the time, as some teeny--bopper genre music. But, I've been rediscovering their timeless, classic and feel--good music from those simpler days. Now, this film will hopefully re--awaken the world and a new generation to the Beatles music. Geniuses in their own right, they've never looked better.

I couldn't even watch this halfway without tearing up. My dad loved The Beatles so much that he would play their songs almost everyday in our house when he was still around, even sing their songs in the karaoke. I also remember gifting him a magazine with Paul McCartney on the cover, he smiled at me and teared up afterwards (I was way younger when I bought it for him. I just suddenly thought of dad when I saw the magazine and so I bought it instantly even though it was not even his birthday yet at that time). Every time I hear any The Beatles song, it always reminds me of him. I know for sure he would have loved to see this and maybe even cry again in joy 'cause that's just how much of a big fan he is. It's been 5 years dad, I miss you. ❤
Same thing for me with my mom. She died in 2019,very unexpected. I can’t listen to them without thinking about her. She would have loved this. I miss her too.
glad it wasn't just me. I loved the Beatles and was around when the roof-top gig happened (I was 6, lol)...I suspect I will shed many more when I watch this docu.
Im a father to a beautiful little girl. Im a MASSIVE Beatles fan.. This was touching to read.
I’m only 38 and I couldn’t either . I don’t have the emotional connections many of you had but I understand how big this film is.
So sorry for your loss. I hope the music brings you comfort🌹
This is really going to be a huge early Christmas present for all us Beatle fans. I can't wait for this Documentary. Peter Jackson your a legend!!
Peter Jackson wasn't around when it was released the first time. The Beatles are the legend here.
*you're
Another Christmas present! Like the LOTR films! Good point!
100%
Now this is how The Beatles is supposed to be remembered. Not one was ever greater than the other because without just any one of them The Beatles never would've been and this film proves it. Hats off to the 4 greatest band members of all time!
What an incredible documentary! It's gob-smacking that this film has been hidden for 50 years. Peter Jackson has edited & restored this footage into the best rock-documentary there ever was. Totally fitting for these icons. Fascinating.

This tip may have led to the actual lyrics used. The syllables work out
What is so amazing is that the Beatles only had about three weeks to write and record and perform a new album of material. In that time they put together songs such as 'Get Back', 'Let It Be', 'The Long And Winding Road', 'Don't Let Me Down', 'Two Of Us' and 'I've Got A Feeling'. We also see them working on songs such as 'Something' and 'All Things Must Pass' etc. Although the album 'Let It Be' is not regarded with the same respect as other albums by the Beatles such as 'Sgt Pepper' or 'Abbey Road', the fact remains that it remains so much better than so many other albums regarded as great by so many lesser artists. The Beatles created a standard that even they were held to. 'Let It Be' is a great album - and this film confirms this as a fact.

It’s like having the Beatles back again! At least for a while. And to think this footage was rotting in a vault for 50 years unseen. What a gift we are being given at this late date. Thank you Peter Jackson and the two remaining Beatles for allowing this footage to be compiled and released. They could have said no and we never would get to see it. The original film was terrible. It depressed me. This looks joyous and fun! Todays music, with the sole exception of Jack White, doesn’t interest me. He recently did a similar show on a Balcony in London in tribute to the Beatles Rooftop concert. Exactly 50 years later. I can hardly wait to see this!

OMG!! I remember as a little girl, I begged my mom to let me watch the Ed Sullivan show when they came on. So I had extra chores and helped with my little brothers and sister. I was extra good, so she said I could watch but keep the TV on low, so my mom went across the hall to the neighbor and left the TV on for me. I now feel just as excited and cannot wait for this!!
you had a cool mom
I bet you turned the sound up!
@@beatlebrian4404 I sure did! LOL!!
I was four years old that night and my mom woke me up and got me out of bed to watch Ed Sullivan. She knew it was going to be an important event that she wanted me to remember forever. And I have.
That's a wonderful story! Your Mom probably didn't understand what the fuss was all about, but she could see how important it was to you. That's a good Mom.
I’m an old punk but I grew up in Brooklyn loving my parents’ Beatles albums, I know every song, every lyric…It’s hard to get my head around the fact millions of younger people don’t know the magnificence of The Beatles…it’s never too late…
I knew I was old the day I said at work (a state college), “oh, it’s George Harrison’s birthday” and one of the college students said, “who’s George Harrison?”
@@cathythompson6872 funny story--I made friends with a girl because I heard her talking about George Harrison and I was just getting into the Beatles at the time, and we had a conversation about the Beatles and that became our common interest and it's kinda what made us friends. That was in 8th grade and I'm in the 11th grade now (junior in high school). So certainly there are people who still know his music and stuff. Depends on the person I guess. On the other hand, I'm also a fan of Bob Dylan's music and I did a portrait in art of him and I told some girl that I was drawing Bob Dylan because she asked who it was, and she said something along the lines of, 'never heard the name'. Like man, I was surprised because I'd always heard of Dylan long before I listened to him, like I knew the name, y'know? I couldn't imagine having never heard of the guy, though his music isn't something everyone will like.

I bought the white album when I was 12. Everyone else was listening to butt-rock. I was always a weirdo. And I'm glad I was.
My granddaughter is a sophomore musician in high school, she couldn’t believe some of her classmates never heard of the Beatles!
The rooftop concert. Pure creative joy, all of their years of interpersonal drama set aside. John seems so happy.
Can’t wait. I’ve always been sad that I was born far too late to enjoy the hype of The Beatles, but this footage looks so incredible and vibrant in its restoration that it could have been filmed yesterday.
HD has existed since the 1930's.
Me too...been Beatle fan since 1964!.. Yes this looks crisp and clean and the Boys together since 1958! I can't wait!!
We are born in the right time to see this documentary tho
When all our troubles seemed so far away
One of the few things I am really proud of from my generation. I think people will rediscover them...genius by pure chance.
The most influential and recognizable band ever. No one comes closer to their greatness and popularity.
No one comes close to there popularity, but imo a lot of bands can compete with their greatness composition-wise. If I should name a famous band, I would mention Queen. Their band members was much more skilled. Just compare the guitar playing.
@@sgguitar The Beatles were just as skilled imo, they just play a simpler style and make it sound unique which is what makes them so good
@@ConrrHD agreed. The one thing they didnt have is Mercurys voice. But they were all very skilled and extremely creative.
@@ConrrHD they are unique indeed. Love the Beatles. They just seem a bit limited at times. Brian Mai really explore the whole fredboard and all techniques. George Harrison doesn't do that at all. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Queen sucks
I was born 10 years after their break up. I grew up listening to them my entire life. I always felt like I just missed witnessing one of the greatest eras in music. I watched them in Black and White and in grainy color on video, album covers, and in pictures. But to see them in this film, I felt like I got to witness something almost first hand. They truly came to life for me. it was so intimate. Although it was bittersweet to watch, knowing how it all ends, it was the greatest thing to feel like a fly on the wall watching it all unfold. I was spellbound and amazed at watching Paul create Get Back out of thin air. It was literal magic. And to see the chemistry between Paul and John in creating Two of Us... it took a deeper level of meaning to one of my all time favorite songs. I knew the magic of that song was there, when I first heard that song. it was wonderful to see the footage of it all unfolding. Last but not least, Paul's beard was everything!
After watching this remarkable series I have only one humble request. Please release the entire 57 hours. I would watch ALL OF IT. It's wonderful.
I love how John gives a tip to George on writing Something and songs in general.
"attracts me like a cauliflower" LOL
I love all the Beatles, but to see John and Paul interacting in this quality really is something special. Those two men are responsible for writing the greatest catalog of songs in popular music history.
You look young but you make more sense than guys 3 times your age!
@@willettej7988 what breaks my heart is how young The Beatles were when this was filmed. To consider the amount of incredible music they had recorded, and were yet to record...
@@Ps3GamerVideos I dunno, my son (age 20) knows most of the Beatles songs, and it isn’t because of me. He heard me playing a couple of their albums when he was young, and that’s about it. They were broken up by the time I got into them too. They’re one of those bands that people “discover” now.
@@Ps3GamerVideos Timeless music like theirs may experience lows in popularity, but there will always be a resurgence. I'm a millennial in my 30s and started listening when I was 15. My siblings are Zennialls and started around the same age. This type of music, unique in its quality as well as its place in the cultural and musical zeitgeist, will always be popular.
@John Doe but alas, Yoko. The new docu really shows how intrusive she was in the creative process right to the end.
This documentary is such a pure and loving portrayal of the greatest pop band that has thus far existed.

Was 13 in 69,, have listened to this album hundreds of times,, watched and read everything I could find on the. Beatles.. This documentary brings back lots of memories, with new memories being pulled out of time from the past, feels great love it
I hope Peter knows he literally changed music history forever with this documentary.
I’m here for every minute of this.
Right on. 👍✌
I was here for every minute since February 7, 1964. Yeah, I’m old and I love it!
GH HAD BETTER EQUIPMENT IN HIS MANSION THAN WHAT WAS USED ON THIS
That would be 4 minutes
we all are.
Can’t believe they were that close to writing that song as: “Something in the way she moves, attracts me like a cauliflower.” Would have been every vegan’s anthem.
Apart from the cauliflower bit, it sounds like a Nirvana lyric.
It would be up there with Lettuce Pea.
That was John attempting to mock George's writing, which turned out to be one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. At this time George was proving to be a formidable song writer which made Paul and John feel threatened.
@@hocan6924 no john literally was just helping him write the song by filling in a line to keep him going. That audio has been around for a while now. Its like paul and “scrambled eggs”. Just a filler for that point in time
If you listen further in that conversation, George rejects the "cauliflower" and instead suggets "pomegranate".
My favourite clip from the Peter Jackson film. Genius in action - the rest is history
Can't believe we have this footage its brilliant. John was hilarious.
These four people made such an impact on the world with their music. This is gonna be great.
Genuinely emotional over how brilliant this looks. So refreshing to see the postive tone being taken rather than making the last years of our boys equate to nothing more than constant fights and heartbreak.
Talent will out, and the album is a classic. Weird seeing them all look so young too!
Very well said! They had a terrific bond, with Northern humour, that people will now see.

This is the greatest thing a true Beatles fan could ask for. I teared up multiple times watching this 6 hour masterpiece. I just wish it was longer!
Just finished watching. Absolutely mesmerising to see the band's creative chemistry and charisma first hand! And the love between John and Paul is joyous and gorgeous!
The part where Paul is just jamming and playing about and he comes up with what would become Get Back it's so fucking pure
As an ultra Beatles Fan... this is a dream coming true. Its like traveling back in time and meeting them personally. Love it.
It’s finally happening!! You definitely can’t unsee this - and that’s a very good thing. 😎🎸🥁
I love your videos
Ooh I can NOT wait for all of the videos you post after this is released!!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Yeah there was so many delays to the movie, but it’s worth it
Yess! I can’t wait!!
this documentary made me reminisce over a time i wasn’t even alive in, it’s that powerful. it genuinely made me emotional. it’s a wonderful film full of the worlds greatest musicians and songwriters of all time just existing and creating in their most natural states of being. i cannot get over how amazing it was to watch and experience this film. wow, just wow.
2:08 brings tears to my eyes. "Always will be". Like Paul secretly hoping his old friends and he would reunite somewhere in the future.
I CAN'T WAIT! What a joy to see John and George again in these clips. Love The Beatles forever.
We all think the same honey. @)- @)- @)- :-D
WAIT, Erizzy…..until they come back to your side…you’ll forget the tears you cried.
The thing that strikes me the most about 'our boys' is their work ethic and their commitment to getting it right. When you hear early versions of some of this session's songs, they are rag-tag and a bit shaggy. By the time they worked all their parts out and made choice overdubs we end up with perfection!
there wasnt supposed to be any overdubs on the Get Back Lp though
The Anthology recordings show that really well. Listening to the evolution of a song like Strawberry Fields is really amazing!
Don't forget George Martin who was their arranger & producer. He put the polish on their creativity and made them shine even brighter.
@@brianmcneill1972 agreed, I was referring to their process in general... Goo point!
This is what excites me most about this series, is a glimpse into their song writing process.
Two of my favourite moments ( on top of a whole bunch of other great moments) are 1) John giving Paul wide eyed and a nod after playing The Two of Us on acoustic guitars. That's an a-ha moment when they've been previously trying to make the song work with their other electric instruments. 2) After Preston inputs his playing for the first time and John says "You're in the band."
All my life I've heard the music and I was told about the Fab 4 by my parents, Aunties and Uncles. All my life I've seen a lot of sad or flat documentaries regarding the Beatles break up. I used to think they were over hyped and nothing special. During my 45 years on this earth I have grown to appreciate these legends and now there is a fitting re restored documentary footage actually capturing that time for what it really was. Four men at there height that really loved each other and enjoyed each others company just bantering while at the apex of there creativity . This trailer had me well up with tears and it really will bring the legacy of the Beatles full circle in a more fitting, deserving way that it should be remembered.
Closest thing we have to a time machine right now - must be mental for Paul & Ringo to watch this after all these years -
There is a quote out there from Stella McCartney, saying she saw it all with her dad and by the end they were crying, she realised the effect the Beatles had held over her childhood.
@@hellsjamfleas Hi Helen - yes it must function as a seriously well documented 'family snapshot album' for Paul & Ringo (for all involved). Bittersweet for fans to see John & George (+Linda & others) looking so full of life, but for their best friends much more so - It would be nice to see the profits from 'Get Back' going to a good cause though - McCartney is more than rich enough to keep himself & a few small countries in comfort for a few centuries ...They did rather well from it all when it happened in the 1960's & its sure been milked since - mad that the 'Beatle bin' is worth so much more than most musicians career's -
I love the scene starting at 3:30, John's face to Paul's singing and the "yeah." Made my year.
Paul was pushing the band at this point but the ultimate filter was John. John knew what he liked, and what the band should sound like. John led in the beginning but he got tired of that, but he always knew what was good.
I was indifferent toward the Beatles most of my life, and then attended a Beatlemania concert with a friend. Suddenly I understood what all the hype was about, and found myself attracted to them like a cauliflower. (haha you'll only get that if you watch the trailer above). I'm just gobsmacked by their talent, their cheekiness and the way they changed the world of music just by being themselves.
Alsp most of their music are very easy listen.

Exactly how I felt ( I mainly remembered how my old music teacher used to constantly play the Blue Album in lessons at school, by then about 1977) I've been glued to this on the Disney+ thing since yesterday...now on episode 3, now , at 57 , excitedly about to get into their catalogue proper...wonderful period stuff and you can see so many influences on future bands ..anyway , unpausing episode 3 forgive ;)
I love The Beatles!!!!!! the greatest band of all time!!! I'm 22 and their music is better than anything I've ever heard! They will live on forever! Gods of Music!
The beatles are great and I love them but there is so much out there! Can recommend some stuff if you want. Xx cheers.
Wish I could add more to your comments !!!! Great.
@@elkemast809 Sure I would love recommendations! I mostly prefer their more artsy and psychedelic stuff! Basically everything from Rubber Soul onwards! The other musicians that seem to tickle my brain the same way would be Pink Floyd and Tame Impala! Would love to know more artists that make such music.
just WOW!. I see John Lennon alive again , maybe this is the best high quality video of the the beatles documentary that i've ever seen.
I noticed that! The quality is fantastic. It looks like it was filmed last week!
Because it was shot on film, not on video. The quality is fantastic.
@@debranchelowtone it's actually because Peter jackson and his team have remastered it using the same techniques he did for the world war 1 documentary he made.
@@Sif3r Do you know more about those techniques ?
@@mysterymac38 exactly!!
COMPOSE and RECORD 14(!) SONGS in 3 WEEKS!!! Then a LIVE show!! This is WHY the Beatles ARE the BEATLES!!
Saw the second one, the conversation that Paul and John have after George departs, that gave me chills. John and Paul are titans and I am amazed with how John handles it. Not surprised but just amazed. My father who was never much of a fan of anything, stated how much he admired John Lennon as a person. Watching Paul go through various feelings, I get the feeling that he really put heart and effort into the band at that time and his biggest fear was happening before his eyes and it was devastating. I always heard over and over the connection that John and Paul had and in that conversation I can sense John also fears the same thing. They both were strategically putting thought into how to keep it all together. Just my opinion of course.

This is the closest we'll ever get to seeing the greatest band of all time work behind the scenes.
"It's gonna be such a comical thing in 50 years time that the group broke up because Yoko sat on an amp." Paul
Not ironically, her unique vocal stylings are based on amplifier feedback.
I was never impressed by the Beatles , I think the Bee Gees were supremely talented and there was more harmony in their personalities.
@@valerieobrien5521 well even then the Beatles music in the 60’s influenced and changed the music industry you have to admit the impact they had
@@valerieobrien5521 Yeah, generally speaking, the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack is widely regarded as superior to anything in the Beatles catalog.
Sorry, wrong reply
Watched it so many times. The moment that always hits me is 2:28. 'Do you want to do it once more then?' and John saying 'we'll never get a chance to do it again'. Too right. This was a moment in cultural history, magical in the making and never to be repeated.
I think that if you begin broadcasting that 57-hours recording there will be loads of people who will watch it till the end.As it is said,the dreams come true
Born in 1963. The first song off the radio that I ever truly remember singing to myself was "Eight Days a Week". These four men wrote and performed the soundtrack of my life.
Even without the music they were just so compelling to look at.
lol
George Martin said something similar. The first time he heard the Beatles he said he wasn't impressed by their music but knew he could sell them just based on their personalities alone. He said it made you feel good just to be around them.
"Attracts me like a cauliflower" would've been epic as well.
I was 10 years of age and my mind was awoken to these mere boys from Liverpool sharing their music with the world. I made my first electric guitar, somehow converted a radio into an amp and taught myself how to play (albeit & badly). My world was perfect however not all things stay the same. I'm now 69 and this sneak peek has taken me back to those perfect days where it seemed the world came together as one. So looking forward to the movie. Thank you for this moment again on the long and winding road.

I've listened to so many of those audio recordings like the one with George asking the others for advice on writing "Something" and Paul talking about how funny it's going to be in 50 yrs when people say that The Beatles broke up because Yoko sat on an amp. But to actually SEE those moments take place is going to be absolutely amazing! I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS!!!
Hyped not hyppoed
I wish they kept "attracts me like a cauliflower" in Something, like John suggested. 😂
Yesss! Would’ve been hilarious
@@HolocronStudios They did keep silly lyrics like that in so many songs. They were known to use words that fit the song or that sounded right and not care so much about how listeners would interpret the meaning.. if there even was any. But with a song like "Something" I think "no other lover" worked better then "cauliflower" lol.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 He also tried "Attracts me like a pomegranate"
With everyone’s love for cauliflower, it would be an instant hit today!
Yes, that cauliflower line would be the holistic health food version... 😉 I believe there are recordings of that actually performed within these archives. You're going to hear it eventually.
Finally, something that’s worth watching on Disney Plus
Literally, it gave me chills every time I watch the trailer.
I was in 7th grade when all of this was happening. I remember being home from school, sick, and having the radio by my ear all day long , just to hear Get Back before I bought the 45 single . It's great to see the good times they were having at the time , instead of just the bad edit that was the Movie Let It Be. I am almost 66 years old now. I remember the Ed Sullivan show when I was in 2nd Grade. Can't wait to see this !
I already know I’m going to rewatch this over and over for the rest of my life.
I’m glad almost 3 million people still love the Beatles ❤️
I love John Lennon's deadpan answer of "None" when someone asks how many songs are ready to be released. His sarcasm just cracks me up
Well that made me cry - been waiting for someone to do this and close this chapter of properly, honestly and as well as the Beatles deserve.
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Well, the Beatles tried to close the chapter when this film was released for the first time, that's partly why it was called "Let It Be" back then. As for me, I'm happy it's been re-released. I've been wanting to see it again for 52 years. I hope Disney did a good job with it -- I used to trust them when Walt was alive. :) Love seeing all these youngsters here talking about the film.
@@MW-tk5nf He he… I live in Australia but grew up in Liverpool and was brought up on Beatles music. At 50 years old I don’t think I classify as a youngster however, it amazes me that the entire Beatles life cycle started and finished before I was born. As I was raised on Beatles music I have never not been a fan for as long as I have been alive, but I was born just after they broke up. It’s amazing how relevant they have remained.
0:55 George: How many have we already recorded good enough? John: None. When you thought you played good music..
such a John thing to say
classic John
I've learned that when you're a songwriter, nothing will ever sound 100% perfect to you. They'll always hear what you could've done better, or where you screwed up and so forth.
I recently watched an interview with George Martin. He had dinner who John who said : "If I had my way I would record all of it again" "Even Strawberry Fields?" "ESPECIALLY Strawberry Fields!"
@@thewrongbike7709 YES!!!, I heard/saw George Martin tell that story in his speaking tour years ago!!!
The best 7hres that I'm spending,watching a musical documentary,EveR..Thank you Peter Jackson.
To many of us, The Beatles are the only best friends we'll ever need or have.
I am going to laugh and cry through this entire film. What a gift.
been reading the comments on people telling their favourite bits. after watching through it over and over, I think mine is the interview with two random girls on the street. it's like watching two teens today. just wondering about the band they like... I think this is one of the most things we get distracted of by all the noise. these were just people. it was only one band. yes they were huge, but I guess this is what I like looking at. this is what these footages are about... the intimate truth of a time we couldn't get back to see. these are not newspapers, no tales, no guessing, no passion. these are real moments, real fear, real young people giving what they had to give. and they were in an English band called The Beatles! i respect these human lifes so much, in all their trajectory. yes, of course, this is also probably not fully accurate and honest to who they were... but I bet we've never been so close. honestly can't wait for it. thank you peter
Great comment
The greatest group that ever was and ever will be.
Just read your comment that's exactly what I said in mine lol right on I guess great minds think alike! 👍
The Lost Weekend is as important to our understanding of John Lennon in the 70s as Peter Jackson's Get Back is to the end of the 60s. The movie is out today and I had the great pleasure to interview May Pang recently
You have got to love this planet, it's the only one with The Beatles
I literally cried while watching this trailer. My god does the band look good together. BEATLES FOREVER😭❤️
Beatles forever

Sadly but, every band breaks up eventually..or should!
Wow. Look at all who aren't with us anymore. John, George, Linda, Billy Preston, Mal Evans, all so full of life here. Just goes to show you that life is indeed too short.
So many memories, I grew with the Beatles..can't wait to see this, and it just happen to be airing on my birthday..I will be 73! Get Back!!!
Hi Elsie how are you today? I see we’re both a great fan of the Beatles
Happy birthday 🎂
@@lindass5966 Hey happy birthday 🎉
@@lindass5966 I hope you are having a blessed day?
@@lindass5966 Hello Linda how are you ?
I haven’t written anything in years. Thank you for reigniting that fire to create ya know. The Beatles have been the only soulful hug I’ve ever known.
Part 1 was AMAZING! Crazy to be reminded how much a GENIUS Paul McCartney IS.
This documentary made me realize a lot of things… first, John was a lot more present than what they had made us believe. He was cooperative, funny, submerged in the work, being the voice of reason when needed. Second, you can tell how much Paul loves John, being supportive of his relationship with Yoko. Third, George is just done. He ruined a lot of funny/light moments with his bitterness. You can tell he had a lot of resentment towards the other two. Fourth, Ringo is probably the most easy going/ loving rockstar that’s ever existed.
Yeah… it really feels like Harrison is being locked up in a cage, he wants to make his own music, and it hurts him, because he knows hes not as great as lennon and mcartney
Three weeks to write and record a masterpiece. Next level genius.
These guys fill my body with goosebumps every time I see them. Can't wait for this
Of course I'm biased but after watching the entire show, this just validates their genius and creativity. The fact that they went on to do Abby Road after leaving this session unfinished and were done as a band before any of them was 30 yrs old is mind blowing. The way they changed music from '63 to '69 is beyond comprehension. Music today hasn't changed or progressed in the last 20 years.
Their music style changed from album to album and in a good way.
Chills down my spine. I love so many bands more than The Beatles, but I love The Beatles more than any other band. They changed the musical landscape and set a higher standard.
This is the one we've been waiting for, and kind of what we need right now.
word
100%!
So true
