Paul was cool about it and rightly said "We would look stupid in 50 years time if we split up because a girlfriend sat on an amp"
John always looked down on younger George and he had his writing partner in Paul as well as disliking a lot of Georges low tempo dirge like songs.
They all come across very well in the documentary.
Witty, talented, drunk and stoned but always musically inventive and up for a laugh.
John roasting Peter Sellars who wandered into the set was great and Paul being the most focused and driven trying to hold it all together.
Yoko had copy approval as John's estate and from what I've heard she doesn't say anything in the documentary.The world owes Yoko an apology! 10 things we learned from The Beatles: Get Back

It is staggering that they did not spend enough time on Georges "All Things Must Pass" track as his basic demo is way better than Phil Spectors over produced version that ended up on Georges solo album. They were under time pressure with Ringo due to go and make a movie i think.Really enjoyed the whole thing, it definitely exposed them bare. However, one of my all-time favourite scenes, was when they were in the last few days at Twickenham, and Lennon is talking to the director I think, about what they could do with the show etc, and while they are talking, Paul is in the background, laying down early versions of Let It Be & The Long & Winding Road. Another thing, was almost the whole of the Abbey Road Road album tracks, were started during the sessions, the only two I don't think I heard in Jacksons film, were "Come Together" & "Here Comes The Sun", but all the others. So many early version of many solo tracks also were heard, including Lennon's "The Road To Marrikesh" which later became "Jealous Guy". Several solo tracks for Paul & George also, got their early/rough airings. This film is such a unique document, great to see it all unedited - in the warts & all, form.
The film and sound quality is just superb and you feel that you are in the room with them with the level of detail.the whole thing is an astonishing record of the biggest band in the world at work, incredible really
fair dues to jackson and his minions
