![]() As Harrison puts it, “just us doing it, and there’s no overdubs, so you can’t get out of it, it’s much better really.” Apple Films, a division of the Beatles’ company, had rented out Twickenham Studios for January 1969 to prepare for a movie starring Ringo Starr, The Magic Christian. This footage exists at all because the Beatles enjoyed playing “Hey Jude” for a live audience in 1968, which led to them planning a live TV special, something to bring them back from the atomization of the White Album, where multitracking took the place of group give-and-take. After that, Get Back (released in three installments on Disney+) is sweet Yukon gold, a gentle wildlife documentary about waiting for songs and working with friends. That’s what Google is for, if you want it. The only mistake in Peter Jackson’s Get Back is the first ten of its 468 minutes: a summary of the Beatles career rendered as a bang-bang-bang montage. © 2020 Apple Corps Ltd.
