re: Beatles Get Back trailer. Airs on Disney+ November 25 in 3 parts

I had never heard of the Story album until antique posted it on the OT a few days ago. But I am interested in it, and I got it from him for cheap.

I'm a Beatles music collector myself. I have everything they released in the U.S. as a band, as far as American release albums, British CDs and American release CDs. I'm now working on the solo stuff in CD format. So far I have all Lennon, all McCartney/Wings sans Back to the Egg, all Harrison, except Somewhere in England and Gone Troppo and only 3 Ringo's.

I'm not that into all of those when it comes to vinyls, but I do have a Beatles jump drive with everything Beatles-related that I like. It has every album (from the Core group)_ they released, then the Anthology and Love albums as well. And then I have folders for each Beatle with their solo work that I like (though I mainly only like their popular stuff...I have like 25-30 McCartney/Wings songs, about 15-20 Lennons, 10 or so George, and 5-10 Ringos). But I listen to it on the reg though. I really enjoy listening through all of their albums and hearing them progress as artists. It's cool to see/hear.

I had recently pulled my old external hard drive out of storage and got it to work on my work computer, so I pulled all of my music off of it and bought jump drives to put it on. And I had forgotten that years ago one of my buddies had torrented all of those Beatles albums for me. So that was a nice surprise, and I just filled in the gaps of shite that I wanted and didn't yet have.

pretty good interview here with peter jackson

That is fascinating. Thanks. The release time of 2am CST tonight can't get here fast enough.

It’s only natural that they had music they wanted to put out on their own that wouldn’t be allowed as a “Beatle’s song.” Case in point would be While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Harrison and Clapton spent time after it was recorded tweaking (“flanging,” I believe they called it back then) Clapton’s guitar playing in order to make it sound more like a Beatles-sounding song

I’m not a huge Beatles fan, but a fan nonetheless. George has written a good bit of my favorite Beatles songs:

Something
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I, Me, Mine
Here Comes the Sun
Taxman

subscribed to the Disney devil for a month so I can watch first thing in the morning, can’t wait. As y’all watch this keep in mind

john and ringo were 28
Paul was 26
George was 25

and the band would be over in 8 months time

three 2-hour episodes, right?

It’s over 7 hours across 3 episodes. 468 minutes is what has been published.

First episode was 2hrs 37mins. So incredible.

There were moments when I literally got fricking chills watching some of these iconic hits being born into existence for the first time. The hair stood up on the back of my neck.

the editing at the end is so intense...from john and Paul to George and then back and forth. George is just seething

really powerful stuff.
although this is wonderfully done it’s a little uncomfortable. I just want them to get along LOL

the many moments when they are just happy and jamming out are a revelation

As the credits are rolling, they appropriately play George Harrison's "Isn't It A Pity". When Disney forces you out of the credits to suggest another movie, I clicked back to credits to hear the rest of the bluesy instrumental jam. Man, that version is spectacular.

I assume this is an unreleased version with the rest of Beatles playing behind George as I know the song never made any Beatles albums, only George's solos. George has a lot of versions and alternate takes of this song out there, but to know the Beatles are playing on this song (similar to the way I've heard Eric Clapton's band cover it), it is suddenly rising up into my favorites list.
