I watched the first 3 episodes last night. First time I’ve watched it since I bought the dvd box set when it came out. So that’s almost 30 years I think. At the time I suppose it was something of a revelation but now, with so much more information out there, I found myself mentally filling in the gaps.

Also – John George and Ringo seem upfront and straightforward but McCartney just can’t help being self conscious and aware of the camera. Even in the early footage you can see him not really knowing where to look. John was half blind and probably singing into a blur and George was kind of serious but having a good time. Ringo was just having a good time.

I suppose I should really wait until I’ve watched every episode at least once, let alone six times, but I thought it a good idea to share a couple of initial thoughts

And finally, for now, I really like the Anthology 4 CD. I’ve read a lot of criticism (Apple scraping the bottom of the barrel etc) but really it’s great to hear them making mistakes and laughing and being lads.
