McCartney 3,2,1

Even if you know most the stories behind the iconic Beatles songs, there's still plenty new to learn here about how they were constructed or key mistakes/happy accidents that became epic moments in Beatles history.

(Just wait until you hear how "Come Together" was originally intended).

This certainly isn't a "Beatles documentary" that goes in chronological order and reminisces about their greatest hits. It jumps from era to era, song to song--even including McCartney solo stuff and Wings.

But boy, there's some really cool stuff in here--they have the original masters (!!!) from Abbey Road and Rubin is constantly pulling tracks in and out to illustrate what McCartney's talking about. It's like a better-produced, more free-form take on the show "Classic Albums".

But it also focuses on the musical ideas/techniques (and the mistakes) rather than simply the composition (as "Classic Albums" does).

It probably wouldn't be of much interest to non-musicians or non-music geeks, but for those who are, it's a must-watch.

It should be noted there's not much gossip here about the Beatles' personal lives or drama behind the scenes--it's very focused on the music.
