    1. Watched the first half of the first episode(!) of Get Back last night. As a massive Beatles fan I've been waiting for this for a long time, and I wasn't disappointed. Casual fans might not want to watch hours of rehearsals but I loved seeing the dynamics at play.

    The sheer dominance of Paul, George's growing confidence (but still asking for support from the others), Ringo the anchor just solidly present, and John just bouncing around off things. And god, seeing Yoko sitting there with the four of them in a circle for every writing moment.

      For the first time I feel like I've had a bit of insight into what it was like to be a Beatle at the end of the 60s, with them resurrecting ancient songs, snapping at each other and fed up with the constant expectation that everything be done at Beatles scale.

        But the highlight so far is seeing Paul stumble upon Get Back while strumming(!) his bass, desperate for new material, and Ringo and George jamming it out with him. Hearing a classic song *as it's being written* is a rare joy.
