The other I watched was a deep explanation of the Paul and George 'famous' argument during the filming of LIB. He goes deep and with rare excerpts and explanations! The Rascals are also featured - one of my favorite bands.
I'm watching the episode on Yoko Ono's presence during the LiB sessions. It features a remarkable discussion between McCartney, Starr, Neil Aspinall, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and Linda Eastman. This was during the time when Harrison had temporarily quit the band. Everybody's wondering how to deal with Yoko's dominating the group discussions and her speaking for John.
McCartney admits that the band "needs a central father figure to tell us, '9 AM. No girls. Leave the girlfriends at home.'" (I've often wondered how much longer the band would have lasted had Epstein not died.)
He adds, presciently, "50 years from now it will be incredible comic sort of thing. Because people will go: 'They broke up because Yoko sat on an amp.'" Except that there's nothing funny about it.
