They are endlessly fascinating, aren't they? To bring this jewel to life, to be a fly on the wall - I LOVE it. Anyone else screaming, Attracts me like no other lover???
-
James Taylor has always been remarkably gracious about George lifting "something in the way she moves," saying that he had lifted the Beatles "and I feel fine" so they were even. Not really equivalent, but nice of him to say... Also, anyone else have the urge to jump in and scream "Attracts me like no other lover!!"

I'm a 43 year old grown man crying. Knowing they're near the end, breaking up, and yet still working together wonderfully helping George create what I consider the most beautiful love song I've ever heard. I have had countless tender moments with my fiancee to this song.
-
Amazing how the rest of the guys can just join in with a perfect harmony part to augment what George had only played once or twice. It's no mistake that these guys were able to do what they did on the regular.
-
I like how John helps George out regarding not waiting for the right words. A little insight into John”s thought process with Mr Show too.
-
Amazing how they created a beautiful song in such a chaotic time in Beatle history.
-
My God Beatles could have a tv show aired today of just these sessions breaked down , and it’d be more watched then the Super Bowl. These are so interesting , like hearing the wright brothers finding out how to fly .
-
Excellent production technique in showing the various Beatles on the left hand side of the screen with the spoken words next to what each of them was saying whilst in the studio. This is a first-rate way to present this information. Edward Tufte would be proud. I can only hope other video presenters will adopt this style. Great work as always!
-
Imagine having John and Paul to help you with your song? And to know they have your back? What a confidence boost.
-
Can you imagine being Mal Evans being in that studio, hearing some of the most iconic pieces of music ever writen being brought to life, lucky man indeed.
-
Ringo's drumming is musical and so binding. Amazing to hear them click and work.
-
Love the way John helps out as opposed to the image some people give of him being self absorbed and spaced out during this time period.
-
Fascinating how the song comes together! That's a very nice composite you created there! Couldn't help smiling when George mentions "it's got to have a bass line". Paul probably thinking something like "Don't worry mate, I'll come up with something..."
-
Just highlights again how underrated Ringo was. As well as being THE perfect fit for the band, he was arguably the most solid member of the band, always locked in and holding together a solid foundation for the songs to be built around.
-
there’s something really satisfying hearing george leading this sessions. you can feel how john and paul respected his song.
-
I love the bass line Paul comes up with in this session
-
I'm mildly surprised that "Mr. Show" didn't show up somewhere in John's lyrics in a later song.
-
This was outstanding. Listening to the chatter as George was running through it shows how they did support each other and tossed some ideas about. Ever cool!
-
George really thrived off any encouragement from John in this session. He almost waited for John’s approval at times.
-
Wow, this explodes the myth that they were barely talking to each other at the end. Clearly John is really trying to help George keep moving the song structure forward by filling in missing syllables with placeholders. And Paul trying to find good bass notes. And of course Ringo, ready to provide backbone. Makes me happy to see them still a functioning band on their last album (Let It Be was actually recorded before).
