Customer Reviews
Get Back
I’ve watched the documentary two times now. Paul worked so hard to make the album & rooftop concert happen. Playing all the instruments. Just wow.
Candid
I have heard so many interviews with Paul and he has several set stories. It is nice to hear him go off-script in these short interviews. His narrative around Too Many People is honest and to a certain extent it corrects some of the deification of John.
