I have a question too... who's idea was the original project? Was it Paul's? Was it someone outside of the band? (It certainly doesn't seem like it was John, George, or Ringo's!)
* It helped having captions on because some of the conversations would've been hard for me to follow otherwise. I know I would've missed some important exchanges had I not enabled captioning and I would've missed so many of Lennon's verbal zingers
My guess about the four speakers in the control room is that it is two sets of stereo speakers. Earlier, when they talked about bringing in the recording gear, they said they had to strap together two 4-track consoles to work with George's 8-track recorder. So I'm thinking that each console has its own set of stereo speakers. It was funny during playback someone said 'this is how it will sound in stereo' or something like that.Yes, I was wondering how quickly someone would pick up on the four speakers on the wall thing in episode 2. That was real interesting.
Yes, this was a great insight into George. I interpreted his behavior/frustration differently. It wasn’t that he was “not being treated as an equal” by others, although that might have contributed. To me, it was more that George saw himself as lesser. Example: in episode 1 he talked about Clapton’s ability to play a meandering solo and bring it back to the main theme to close it out. George admitted he had no ability to do such a thing. He was insecure. This surprised me.What fascinated me was George's frustration with not being treated as an equal.

I think it goes to that he knew he was being filmed and also admitted that he wasn't very good at improvising on the spot.It really is quite amazing that, after seeing George this way, somewhat insecure and doubting his talents, that later the same year he puts "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun" together, and the band (with George Martin and all his wonderful production value) knocks out Abbey Road!!

He’s a real square, man.one thing I found fascinating was the amount of middle aged folks who were at street level during the rooftop gig who liked the Beatles; of course there was always the occasional cranky old person who disapproved...and that young guy who said he DID NOT like the Beatles cause "they had changed too much(!)"...I guess he did not get enough booty!
He’s a real square, man.
What cracked me up a bit was the muted reactions. First time the Beatles played in public in years and people were like, yes, it’s quite nice. These people seemingly had no clue how significant that moment was!
Given it's really one movie split into three parts, The Lord of the Rings fans don't need to imagine. They've already done it. All three flics one after the other, e.g. start 11am, finish 9.30pm, with two half-hour meal breaks:Could you imagine a 9 hour movie at the theater,,, well I guess it isn't that hard to imagine.... if you try.
