"I don't blame Yoko for any of this... ...never mind the Yoko screeching bits" so what is it then?
Nikkei: As I mentioned, John was the person that enabled Yoko not only to be there, but to do as she chose to do. This doesn't mean I liked anything about her shrieking at all. My feeling is that if John had said no, it would likely not have gone down the way it did. I guess I could have chosen my words differently was

This what I’m saying also. Ultimately she should not have been there. In reality she was. In that reality, she was a lot quieter on John’s lap than she had been portrayed. I expected lots of opinions from her, turned she just warbled and shrieked a little bit. With Paul on drums.
It was so funny when Paul’s daughter Heather started to imitate Yoko. McCartney had a little smile to himself...
Should she have been there - NO, was she there - YES.
She was a lot quieter than I thought she would be.

But for those that want a condensed version of Peter Jackson, watch original Let It Be. You lose all the great stuff like George leaving, feeling stifled, Paul talking about Yoko, Paul and John's private conversation, but you those only make sense with context. I don't think you'd get those in a cut down piece and Let It Be isn't great, but if you cut everything down, you'd probably get these performances, which just make for a relatively dull film lol.

Didn't he say «John had said that he really did not want not to be a Beatle»?

Your correct, I fixed it. I must have missed the second "not". I was typing it in a hurry.

But in the long run people will only remember the 60s stuff by both bands so it doesn't really matter

Plowing my way thru Get Back, I’ve noticed a couple clips where they’re playing High Heel Sneakers. Um…Paul… Blues cover band?

Don't think that's true...up through 81 they were big recording act in addition to touring. The 70s was a huge Stones decade.

Billy Preston certainly made a significant musical contribution to the tunes he played on

Sticky Fingers, Exile, Some Girls were all huge in the 70s, and Tattoo You in the 80's.

out their business.
I never did get Yoko's screeching, was that her own thing or is that some sort of artful thing from her culture she brought to rock music? The B52's sure seem to pick up on it later...

I decided to watch the anthology series again. It’s been years since I’ve seen it.
