The paradox of Get Back is that as much as I love Let it Be, it's by far the simplest Beatles album musically, of course by design. So as much of a thrill as it is watching them create these songs throughout the documentary, how much would you love watching them discover and work through all the crazy shit they did on Revolver, or Sgt. Pepper? How much would you love to witness them recording Tomorrow Never Knows, or George Martin convincing Paul McCartney to add strings to Yesterday? - XMASTIME
Could The White Album recording sessions be getting the full Get Back treatment?!?!?!?! YASSSSSS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
I mean ffs just super-recently we've already seen footage of Paul teaching the band Helter Skelter so maybe we shouldn't be that surprised? Especially based on the now-known fact that The Beatles simply cannot stop giving us amazing shit to be wowed by over & over & over again - just within the last 2 years they've given us an insane amount of new stuff to love about them, whether it's the Get Back documentary or McCartney's triumphant return to the Glastonbury stage, or the brilliant Revolver box set, we've almost gotten spoiled with the band's generosity for us.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “in the meantime, can't Xmastime fans remind themselves of your genius by going through your brilliant live-blogging of each episode of the Get Back series?"?"
Sigh. Yes they can, faithful readers, YES they can:
