I'd forgotten this was on. Thanks for the reminder, LO.

Very interesting and had the main players contributing (i.e. Paul, Ringo, and George Martin.

The 2nd one won't be as good,the beatles years are obviously going to be the most interesting.

If you think that 'the Beatles Years' are 'obviously' going to be the 'most interesting' - then I suggest you take a 2nd look.

This isn't another film about the Beatles. Look & listen...and quite possibly learn.

As another songwriter from another recent documentary said '..a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest...'

The 2nd part was more rewarding, fascinating and illuminating than anything in the 1st part, a lot of which we've heard & know many times over (apart from the 'David Frost' 60's interview with the 'intellectual' in the audience - which was very inspiring)

And - as George might say - you couldn't have had the 2nd part without the first!

Stick that in your existentialist, spiritual pipe - and smoke it

Yes - I'm going to watch Part Two later but I anticipate it as far more interesting though less personally involving (I stopped meeting George in the 70s).

Fascinating second part; sadly George and I never spoke again after I recorded He's So Fine in the style of My Sweet Lord (with choruses going "Georgie") and it was played in court and contributed to his losing the plagiarism case.

Well I liked the first part; I adored the second half.
Quite apart from the stunning sight of the Traveling Wilburys together - surely five of the absolute all time giants of music, not a flaw in the recipe - but his wife and son were magnificent and Ringo at the end was superb.

Of all 4 Beatles (well, 5 with Brian; 6 with Derek; 7 with Peter; 8 with Neil...) I knew Ringo the least. Only ever had a very few words with him. But him talking about George dying was totally extraordinary. 30 seconds of magical communication.

Does anyone have a contact for Joan Taylor?

The Wilburys were perfection. Jeff Lynne like George, enormously and quite criminally under rated. I believe Russel T Davies of Dr Who fame is a huge Lynne fan and even included ELO songs throughout an entire episode of Dr Who.

I must see this film. Thanks guys.

You forgot Mal Evans. That's 9, then!

The documentary was discussed previously in this thread:

(Joan and Derek Taylor used to live at Brundage Mill in Sudbury - I'm not sure if she's still there.)

Thank you Pru; Joan is indeed still there and we just had a lovely long conversation and reminisce.
