"Who's The Redhead On The Roof....?": My life with The Beatles

Product Information

A still photo of the four Beatles on the Abbey Road stairs has been captured from the recent trailer for the George Harrison documentary, “Living in the material world” But for all intents and purposes, the original Let It Be film had its reputation established by its release, with the breakup taking on a disproportionate stake. Decades of unavailability for mainstream viewers cemented the movie as a straw man for late-era Beatles. The only two views of it were “watch the Beatles break up” or “watch for the symptoms of the Beatles breaking up.” There was little middle ground. Maybe Michael Lindsay-Hogg offered up too much subtlety.

The article prompted a further response, a phone call from fellow director — and father, as he later learned — Orson Welles, who asked Michael if he was happy with Let It Be. Let It Be poignantly documents the group’s disintegration while capturing their inimitable songwriting technique. After the show — moved at whatever level, either as participants or deep fans — we somehow cried,” recalled Wenner.

I for one am grateful that most people have gotten over the”let’s blame Paul for everything” mindset.He and his demanding ways and what not. My opinion based on what I’ve read and seen Is that Paul was doing one thing: trying to keep the band together Hewas the only one who cared. From the inception of the Beatles until the day they broke up, Paul loved that band the most, and he was desperately trying to save it. This is how the original UK 1969 cover looked like, it was heavily saturated. The 1987 CD release had far duller colours, whereas the 2009 remastered CD version had a green hue. To put 51 years into context, it’s 11 more years than John Lennon spent in the material world. It’s about as far away from today as the release of Let It Be was from the Treaty of Versailles. It’s a relative eternity. All episodes of SATB all feature conversations. Sometimes they are with Beatles authorities: writers or academics who’ve done the research and come up with a thesis. Others are with folks in the business: musicians who were inspired by The Beatles and who’ve walked the walk – written songs, recorded records, gone on tour. They know the ins and outs of Beatles music. I mean, you have songs from Abbey Road but you also have “Gimme Some Truth” from Imagine. John and Paul started to write that together. You have “Child of Nature,” which became “Jealous Guy, which is on Imagine. And then there’s also “All Things Must Pass” and “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window” and “Octopus’ Garden.” The thing about The Beatles is they were never short on songs, and especially George, at this stage, was a powerhouse writing a bunch of songs.

As they tuned their guitars, the musicians played snippets of ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ and ‘All Things Must Pass’. Both attempted to play along with each others’ songs, and were joined by a recently-arrived Ringo Starr on drums during a version of Don’t Let Me Down. I'm really looking forward to this film. Peter is great and it was so cool looking at all this footage. There was hours and hours of us just laughing and playing music, not at all like the version that came out. There was a lot of joy and I think Peter will show that. I think this version will be a lot more peace and loving, like we really were.." Giles Martin: My assumptions like everyone else’s was that Let It Be was their breakup album. Not really knowing much about it, that’s what I presumed. My dad was never happy with the Let It Be experience because they didn’t want to do any production on it. And he said he was getting fired to a certain degree. I suppose he was when Phil Spector took over his job. I wasn’t aware until we did the Abbey Road project that they started recording “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” just a week after they did the rooftop performance.
