I loved the doc, my slight disappointment is that this was a relatively conventional period, compared to the couple of years before. No insight into how you end up with brilliant, sonically outlandish stuff like Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow Never Knows, I am the Walrus etc. Of course there's masses of stuff written and spoken about those things too, but not the incredible fly-on-the-wall view you get in Get Back. Maybe it's for the best.
- Guessnotgauss 5y agoHave you heard George Martin talk about making Sgt. Pepper? Its on Youtube, basically its a response to the Beach Boys Pet Sounds. George Martin goes into the creative recording process, we just never get to hear any of the beatles talk about how those songs came about though. There was another engineer who has insight to the whole process, Geoffrey Emerick, hes also got some interviews on youtube. (Saying all this incase someone else might want to dig further)
- Applejinx 5y agoThere is such a thing as a book: Geoff Emerick's autobiography, "Here, There and Everywhere". You couldn't ask for better insight into exactly the songs you mention :)
- lowercased 5y agoThere's loads of books (Lewisohn has some great books), but it's simply not the same as watching and hearing things in near real time.

- tekstar 5y agoThe book mentioned is really good if you haven't read it.

- coliveira 5y agoThe last few days of the Beatles were the most scrutinized because they have ample footage of everything they did. That's why you don't have as much detail from the previous period.
