My thoughts on The Beatles 'Let It Be' (2024)
The Beatles' final film 'Let It Be' has just received its first official release in over forty years. In 4K on Disney+ we can now watch Michael Lindsay-Hogg's 1970 film depicting John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr working out new material.
But does it look better than Get Back? Is it the depressing movie many felt it was back when it was released so soon after the Beatles' break-up?

The final song by the Beatles 'Now and Then' has officially been released. A project lead by Paul McCartney to create a song out of a John Lennon demo tape from 1977. George Harrison and Ringo Starr also appear as well as a string section from Giles Martin. Is it good? Bad? Or is there more to this song than first appears?

George Harrison was not only a superb guitar player, song-writer, and innovator in The Beatles, but also forged a brilliant solo career that is often overlooked compared to that of Lennon and McCartney's. In his thirty years as a solo artist, George Harrison created some of the finest compositions of the 20th century. He may have been the toughest ex-Beatle to figure out, but he showed us who h...

    Sorry, Elliot, but George’s How Do You Sleep solo is one of his best ever. He plays it on a Strat but gets all the delta blues sound of a resonator. Extremely well played. Now you can finish your video 👍🏻

    IMHO the best music biopic is by far "Control" by Anton Corbijn. Sam Riley's performance as Ian Curtis is just phenomenal.

    A much more useful comparison would be with the 2009 stereo remasters of these recordings. For example "I Saw Her Standing There" 2009 outshines the 2023 version big time. Just compare the two in lossless streaming: in the former Paul's bass is much more distinct and louder in the mix. Sure, it is hard panned to the left, but in the 2023 remix it sounds like mush in comparison. In the 2009 version the bass is clearly driving the groove in a powerful fashion and Ringo's drumming is equally clearly heard for what it is, an accompaniment rather than any sort of "engine room". Generalising about original stereo hard panning being inferior is simplistic nonsense. If you listen to recordings with a focus on enjoyment then your brain compensates and builds a musically coherent experience. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, not in trite comments about the recipe.

    just because a band was influenced by the Beetles doesn't mean they couldn't exist if suddenly the Beetles didn't exist. I mean it's not like if Hydrogen suddenly didn't exist we couldn't have water (H2O). They exist now without the Beetles influencing them - they wouldn't be wondering about it cause they have no reason to. I think you're getting too into the weeds with this. just accept it and move on.

    To this day, I think the best Steve Jobs portrayal on camera has yet to be made. I loved both Pirates of Silicon Valley and Boyle's/Sorkin's Steve Jobs. But there's whole other realms of stories, relationships, and events that have never been touched. His relationship with Tina Redse. His actual family, Laurene Powell and their kids. His friendship with Larry Ellison and Richard Murdoch. His battles with Michael Eisner, followed by his respect for Bob Iger. Buying Ed Catmull away from George Lucas and pushing for Pixar to be a legit movie studio. His screaming of a color not being blue while parked at some grocery story. Ordering smoothies in fine dining restaurants that didn't have smoothies on the menu in New York while meeting with legacy media people. Laughing his ass off when he heard Apple's interim CEO used a stupid analogy about a sinking boat needing to have its' crew all rowing in the same direction. There's literally so much to the later years. It's lowkey a dream of mine to make the later years a limited series.

    John didn't end the Beatles. Paul did. Everyone tried to leave the band at one time or another, only for Paul to draw them back. Then, he puts out his own album and goes to the press to announce the Beatles are through. It's well documented.
