The rest we get to see unfold in slow motion, like one of the films Lennon made with Yoko Ono during this period. We also don’t get the satisfaction of hearing entire versions of “The Long and Winding Road,” “Let It Be,” or any of the other final album songs not performed on the roof.
Does it give Beatlemaniacs everything they want? Of course not, nothing will.įor one thing, he doesn’t give us a full version of Paul McCartney’s “Teddy Boy,” which came close to making the playlist. He prefers his own 18-hour cut to this just-under-eight-hour documentary series, and he’s “right and will be proved right,” to paraphrase John Lennon. Well, Disney+ let Jackson include swearing in the documentary, so, fuck them. A lot of the reviews said it was an overlong and unnecessary affair. There’s no mania like Beatlemania, and Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back is both proof of that, and a direct consequence of it.
