Dear Sir Paul: If you’re reading this, please let Rick interview you. Thank you.

Watching Paul just casually slapping on his bass and then suddenly hear "Get Back" being born is like watching a planet forming from space dust. Absolutely amazing especially if you're a songwriter.

Ringo was a rock. No ego. He was just there to provide the beat for whoever had a song to present.

There’s a moment where Ringo shares the chorus from Octopuses Garden and then says, “That’s all I got.” Then George Harrison sits down and helps him in the most patient and respectful way. Then, George Martin comes over. Everyone just helping each other. The lack of ego on Ringo and George was amazing. And the camaraderie even between Paul and John was next level. Loved this. ❤️

My favorite part, Paul McCartney: "I feel like this song needs something ". (The Long and Winding Road) George: "Yeah, words".

How good is Billy Preston though?

I found the relationship between Paul and Linda's daughter incredibly touching. Ringo teaching her to play drums was also a real tearjerker. They were truly just a big family.

I wasn't a big Beatles fan before and started watching Get Back just because I love to watch creative people create something. I loved the series for this alone. It still hit me real hard when part 3 was over. I can't imagine what hardcore fans must have felt. I'm currently deep into their catalogue, kicking myself for not doing so earlier, but happy still. Better late than never.

I liked the part where Ringo starts playing a song he wrote, and George immediately grabs a guitar so he can help his friend flesh it out. That was who George was, and I miss him most.

One of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen is when Ringo got the courage to show them Octopus’s Garden on the piano. Then George without skipping a beat comes over immediately and starts working it through with him. I just loved that part.

After watching this, Paul became, by far, my most favorite Beatles. He was so mature and talented!

One of the things that struck me the most in the films was how patient and humble Ringo was throughout all the sessions. He didn't once look bored or disengaged despite having very little active input into the songwriting process. He knew his role and he just got on with what he did best when he was needed. There was the occasional bit of footage where he was playing in between songs where you really got a glimpse of how fantastic a drummer he was. It was also really cool to see him and George working up parts of Octopus's Garden together.

This doc proved how underrated and patient ringo was . He never missed a frickin beat even when they were screening around . Not once did they need to give him direction as what to do for a song . Very stable and backbone of the bands . Much props to ringo ( and he never bitched and complained either )

I also noticed Alan Parsons in the control room, as tape operator. He was 21 at the time and three years later was working on Dark Side of the Moon. Amazing.

"...then there were two.....". Chilling when you realize that the two missing from the morning meeting that day were the two no longer with us now. Watching Paul visibly shaking and near tears before getting up and walking off camera was the single most emotional scene for me.

I really like the magic that Billy Preston brought to their songs, it was immediately evident and very clever.... fitted so well with their arrangements.👍🇬🇧

I cried. They've been part of my life since I was 14. I'm seventy now. RIP John and George.

I’ve worked for Paul for 18 years, but I can’t mention how or where for privacy reasons. Paul treats everyone with respect. Is extremely loyal, kind and diplomatic. Watching this shows me he’s always been that way. Especially, the conversation between John and Paul in the cafeteria. Paul was so respectful in the way he spoke to John. Paul just wanted to keep the Beatles together. He’s exactly that way in real life.

Besides George helping Ringo compose, my favorite moment is late in the film when they're arguing about whether to do the rooftop show or not. Ringo has been silent, and he suddenly says, "I want to do it." The others all turn to him in shock, is if they'd forgotten he could talk. It's just a quick funny moment that I am pleased was captured on camera.
