I believe that's what we always assumed but 1) that was an entirely separate session and 2) in this larger context it seems they were having issues about how to play one of John's songs.
Yea, I'm just saying some conflict was starting to show between Paul and George and also with Paul and John.

Pretty much everytime I new segment came up I was just asking myself "Is this the actual audio or is it another false dub?"

I understand Jackson wants this to be more cinematic, but sometimes the editing is so manic and awkward. Couldn't he have just made a shorter film but with correct syncs?
Working on fixing that right now.

Watching it a second time with my son right now. Peter Jackson has redeemed himself for that 3rd Hobbit film. I can't wait for Part 2.

What I did realise is how appalling they are at asking or describing what they want.

Also why on earth would you not write out chord charts before going in?

Their enthusiasm is all over the place. They are incredibly patient with everyone. I think I'd be telling MLH to bog off quite quickly.

I loved it but I'd happily watch The Beatles all day.

Considering what there was/is available this is a goldmine so far and looks and sounds great.

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I have been reading some of the fan opinions on SHF throughout the day and am amused that some actual fans are saying that it should have been aimed more at the casual viewer. What?! Pardon me, but f**ck the casual viewer! We've had every Beatles project in living memory compromised by "the casual buyer". Finally, we have gotten our day in the sun, with these faceless entities finally given second place to us true fanatics. Water down our 8 hours so that they can slip it in between episodes of manalorian? No way! They can bloody well watch the entire eight hours! And if they don't like it, we'll force them to watch it over and over again until they do! :lol:
