I have been waiting so long for a documentary like this. So many things stood out to me that I know my wife didn't catch...but a true Beatles fan would.
The secret recording of John and Paul was fantastic. Powerful stuff. Like one of y'all said, both John and Paul acknowledged and validated George's resentment and recognized their own roles in it. I was spellbound.
One of them telling Linda to "Be quiet, Yoko" was a big LOL moment for me. That kind of told me that they accepted Yoko more than people realized. Yeah, Paul and Ringo's conversation about her was honest and raw, but they rolled with it. I did sort of resent Yoko's presence almost EVERY DAY, but she was not bothering John or trying to distract him and I like that for the most part she sat sort of behind him, out of his sight while he was singing/playing/cavorting to a song. Lennon was really loose and funny and could turn on a dime to seriousness with the music.
There were several LOL moments to me...I mean I literally laughed out loud. I can't even list them all.
It was strange to hear I Shall Be Released by The Band and Midnight Special, being played by the Beatles. It was strange hearing All Things Must Pass, too. I looked and found that I have several versions of them recording that, different time lengths, but I cannot find a recording of Isn't it a Pity in my collection, anywhere.
John playing and singing You Are My Sunshine when George returned was gold. Ringo joining in on drums and I don't know WHO else was singing along but this was not a band ready to call it quits. That change in scenery from the dreary Twickingham studios to the Apple studio brought on an instant night to day change in them. I love it.
I am VERY satisfied with what I've seen so far!

This series reemphasized for me just how talented these 4 kids from Liverpool were that ended up impacting the world, from the the songwriting to the singing to the musicianship.
-I was most surprised in this series to see that all four could play piano, particularly Ringo who was competent. However, Paul was simply on another level.
-All four get on the drums, although John is admittedly lost, but could keep the beat with the bass drum pedal.
-All four were seen with a guitar, but it's unclear if Ringo was actually playing it.
-Paul, John and George were all shown playing bass.
Had this documentary been about the Sgt Peppers album, who knows what other instruments we would've seen them play capably.
