The David Hepworth book is phenomenal.The book’s texts are edited by John Harris from original conversations between John, Paul, George and Ringo spanning three weeks of recording, culminating in The Beatles’ historic final rooftop concert. Hi we’re the Beatles, just here to tell you we figured it out, nothing you can do that can’t be done, we already did it, here’s our new single, which you don’t literally “need” because in fact love is all you need. Given that that song is incredibly obnoxious too. It’s simply amazing that they could channel their energy into the amazing recordings they made that year, because they look tired as hell.ģ) George Harrison saying “we gave up our nervous systems” or something like that is very sad given his early death I believe it, RIP.Ĥ) I think if I had been around at the time I would have found the international live television event when they released All You Need Is Love an incredibly obnoxious spectacle. There will never be enough acclaim in the world for Paul, he’s going to show up and claim to have invented the pogo stick before it’s all over.Ģ) The visuals tell something I never would have guessed: a huge drop off in group energy circa 1966, when they were exhausted from world touring. I did watch the whole Beatles Anthology video series though much later and came away with these thoughts:ġ) Paul McCartney can claim to have thought up “the idea” for various acclaimed Beatle albums (hey you can have Abbey Road, pal) but when he claims to have invented rock video. Surprised it isn’t on any of these lists. Beatles Forever by Nicholas Schaffner, 1978, was the first and last pure Beatles one I read, when I was a teen obsessive.
