The standout event for me (so far) was watching Paul conjure the song Get Back from a magical void! As he sat in his chair strumming his bass, every Beatles fan recognized immediately the beginning bars of that now timeless classic. But when he initially started strumming...it was nothing...just idle strumming that slowly took form. He then added some cast off lyrics, repeated them a few times, then pulled that unforgettable chorus out of thin air! Even though this was filmed 50 years ago, the electricity of that moment crackled. Even though the unmistakable signs of a band in decay were on full display, as John stated, when their backs were against the wall, the "geniuses at work" sign was hung out, and the boys got about creating art. I CAN'T WAIT to see parts two and three!
