Some neat clips in there. Interesting to see how they interact with each other after so many years together. That looks like a band that has been through a lot and knows what they are doing in the recording studio. Billy Preston looked right at home in the studio with the band.

Beatles, eh? Yes, I seem to remember their off-key caterwauling on the old Sullivan Show. What was Ed thinking?

Wasn't sure about a Peter Jackson Beatles documentary but it looks like he had a ton of great footage at his disposal. The clip was superb, was like walking through a time portal. I'm in.

Will probably be a worthwhile corrective to the negative portrayal in Let It Be. Still, seeing how many spouses and hanger-ons were in the studio, it’s easy to see why those sessions were so contentious and unproductive. It’s a far cry from the days when it was just the boys, George Martin, and a sound engineer in the studio, and they’d cut an album in a week or two.

t’s also the Beatles as none of us, 52 years on, has ever seen them. The approximately 43-minute sequence from director Peter Jackson’s forthcoming documentary, The Beatles: Get Back—screened exclusively for Vanity Fair—shows the full, uninterrupted concert on the roof of 3 Savile Row, the band’s headquarters, including iconic performances that would appear on their last album, Let It Be. The original footage, taken from at least nine different cameras, has been scrubbed to astonishing clarity, detail, and color, a rapturous window in time. The doc will run on Disney+ over three nights on November 25, 26, and 27.

He did a great job with "They shall not grow old" so he has some experience with this type of thing of joining together random old video into an documentary.

dammit I can't wait until that Peter Jackson Beatles documentary.
#### it's going to be great.

I just watched the teaser footage Jackson released and it's incredible.
Also saw a Ringo interview with Colbert where Ringo is pumped about this.

He comments that he's so excited for people to see the real sessions from this time and how while there was tension and the Beatles were drifting, there was a lot of fun and a lot of love. He can't wait for all of us to see this.

I'm not the Beatles nut I was in my teens and early 20's, but goddammit, I still love their music and can't wait!
