As a long time beatles fan, I was looking forward to this Let It Be documentary since I first heard about it. Saw the first installment yesterday.
*Very disappointed in John's lack of involvement....as were the other Beatles at the time. Of course I knew Yoko would be at his side, but I didn't expect him to be so drugged up and zoned out and quiet.
*I don't have a lot of patience for George's whining. I will never completely forgive him for "Within You Without You" being on Sgt. Pepper. That alone is good reason to discount his input. Granted he did eventually come up with "Here Comes the Sun"...but still.
*Best part of the doc was watching Paul in the actual process of creating songs I've known and loved all my life from nothing, through his musical genius.
*Paul acted like a domineering ass at times, but he had great songs within him needing to get out, and I can forgive a lot of dickish behavior in the pursuit of that.
*Brian would have taken care of all that shit about where and how to put on the live show, with only enough input from the band as was needed, leaving them much less distracted and able to concentrate on the music. It's always been said how much he was missed, and now I see it better.
