Seems this is the right place for this. I don't know how many Beatles fans we have on this board, but maybe now is the time to find out.
I watched this the other week with my wife, all eight or so hours of it. Was the most enjoyable and fascinating thing I have sene in a very long time and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in the Beatles. The part probably most relavant to this board is the close look at creativity in process. Not the internal process exactly, but the exchanges between people and the external part, visible to the cameras, of musicians trying things "live" right there in front of you.
I have never seen anything like this before, probably because few bands have ever been recorded so extensively. I will refrain from further remarks for now and see what anyone else wants to say.
Also, this movie feels like time travel. The film has been restored and it looks like it was shot yesterday in terms of clarity. But the clothes, food, language, and concerns are all over half a century old. Watch it as large as you can, on a TV rather than a computer or projected onto a wall or screen rather than a TV. If you get into it it feels like you are there.
A remarkable document.
