Just curious if any of you good folks have seen this yet and your thoughts. I don't have Disney +, but thought about signing up just for a month to watch it and a few other originals on there.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
I've seen the first of the three episodes. Paul is simply brilliant. John's input on the songs appears limited although Yoko is constantly in the studio. George is clearly not happy.
The second episode starts off slower, discord within the band. John has more input. I am about half way through second episode.
Yes, no question, sign up for a month an enjoy an incredible historical view of that music. I suspect episode three is
unbelievable considering the timing. Keep in mind the creator of this combined many (60, 70, 80 ??) hours of tape to create this.
The coordination is good, not perfect, sound quality is excellent, again your watching demo tapes from 1969.
I have. We watched it over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. It was a blast and made me really appreciate all things Beatles. The band had fun! Do it sooner than later!
Should be in the stores in early February.
At nearly 8 hours it's a Long and Winding Road. I'm not sure how many people with a casual interest will make it all the way through.
It was interesting to see the interaction between the band members and how the songs develop.
Other moments I liked:
- When George had walked out John saying if he doesn't come back we will get Clapton
- Glyn Johns trying to warn John about Allen Klein
- Things seem to pick up musically when Billy Preston turns up
- Billy Preston playing a stylophone
- John suggesting Billy Preston become the fifth Beatle
- Heather McCartney playing drums with Ringo and singing along
- I might have misheard by John complementing the "lead singer of Fleetwood Mac"
