It’s been a week since we’ve been given another window into the working relationship of The Beatles with Peter Jackson’s mammoth of a documentary, The Beatles: Get Back.

It’s been a week since we’ve been given another window into the working relationship of The Beatles with Peter Jackson’s mammoth of a documentary, The Beatles: Get Back. However, that doesn’t mean we’re completely over it. Far from it, actually. We’ve watched all seven hours, tried to analyze every chord, lyric, and audio clip. Yet, now that we’ve finished it, we miss being back in those studios with the Fab Four. It feels like something’s missing. We can’t stop thinking about Jackson’s masterpiece, especially the most beautiful moments. Here are a few.

15. Maureen Starkey was The Beatles’ biggest fan on the rooftop
Many fans forget that Ringo Starr’s wife, Maureen Starkey, was one of The Beatles’ first fans, way back when they frequented the Cavern Club in Liverpool. Rolling Stone pointed out that she was the only person on the rooftop of Apple headquarters who’d “ever stood in line and paid money to hear this band.” So when The Beatles concluded their set on the rooftop before the cops almost arrested them, we weren’t surprised to hear Maureen’s eager claps. It was a beautiful full-circle moment. “Thanks, Mo,” Paul McCartney said.
14. The group peeked over to see their crowd during the rooftop performance
After playing a couple of numbers on the rooftop, The Beatles peered over the edge to see their audience. The people down on the street were the reason why The Beatles were doing what they were doing. We also loved how most of the street interviews were so positive. Fans wanted to hear their favorite band again.
13. George Harrison wanted to release a solo album but didn’t want to ruin ‘the Beatle bit’
There was a moment at Apple Studios where George Harrison told John Lennon that he had enough songs stockpiled “for the next 10 years or albums.” He said he wanted to do a solo album because it “would be nice to mainly get them all out the way. And secondly, just to hear what all mine are like all together.” However, George didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. He still wanted The Beatles on the side, even though he’d just recently quit. “But it’d be nice if any of us can do separate things as well. That way, it also preserves this The Beatles bit of it more,” he said.
