How about "No Time" by the Guess Who? I think it's almost Who's Next-worthy (the highest compliment I pay to songs) in its perfection. The problem is, nothing else on American Woman is nearly so good.

I watched it all and enjoyed much of it bit but found parts to be
tedious. Apparently George Martin did as well.

First of all, sorry for my bad English, my first language is Spanish.
Last night I saw half of the first part and I find it very interesting, it's like being there.
What is evident, and for me a serious error, is the total lack of management. No one with the experience and common sense to better organize everything, rest times,
better knowledge and use of microphones, amplification, etc.
The best band in the world trying to compose new songs in a huge, cold, huge building,
By then the bands were organized much better, The Beatles deserved the best professionals
to help them in their creation, those seen in the series seem like casual friends.
Anyway, nobody can turn back time, and the series is very interesting, fascinating!

It was primarily a composing session, at least at the start. And the
gear used was 'par for the course' in the circumstances.
And there was management, for better or for worse, but it needed to be supplied by Paul it seems. Yes, an assertive producer would have helped.
Or maybe it just turned out OK anyway.

Bleak indeed.

Maybe the band had actively rejected that input ?

I don't come here often, but just finished the "Get Back" series, and
have a kind of random question. At one point George moves to the piano
and starts playing a terrific rhythmic thing, and Billy Preston picks
up a guitar and joins in, as do the others. As with all the other
songs they start (until the roof), they stop somewhat randomly, and
have a conversation. (I think George speculates on how different it is composing on the piano vs. guitar.) Anyway, while they had it going, I thought this was one if the best things they did in those sessions. I
think George even improvised some words (gotta go back and find that
bit). But nothing that I know of ever came of it. Has any of you heard

Two. There's a moment during that sequence in the film where Billy is suggesting certain chord patterns, and George remarks that it is
impossible to play that on a guitar. Billy knew all the cool jazz
chords.
I'm too lazy right now to look up who played what on the final
recording, but yes, it's a gem.

It was interesting in the series how that one fellow (big, with horned rim glasses: Mal Evans?) is, among other things, their scribe, constantly writing down lyrics as they come up with them during song work ups. I wonder if other bands have scribeslike that.

There's a moment during that sequence in the film where Billy is suggesting certain chord patterns, and George remarks that it is impossible to play that on a guitar. Billy knew all the cool jazz chords.
I'm too lazy right now to look up who played what on the final recording, but yes, it's a gem.

I don't come here often, but just finished the "Get Back" series, and have a kind of random question. At one point George moves to the piano and starts playing a terrific rhythmic thing, and Billy Preston picks up a guitar and joins in, as do the others. As with all the other songs they start (until the roof), they stop somewhat randomly, and have a conversation. (I think George speculates on how different it is composing on the piano vs. guitar.) Anyway, while they had it going, I thought this was one if the best things they did in those sessions. I think George even improvised some words (gotta go back and find that bit). But nothing that I know of ever came of it. Has any of you heard any more about that piece? Did George play some piano in his solo years?That was Old Brown Shoe. One place to find it is on Past Masters Volume Two. There's a moment during that sequence in the film where Billy is suggesting certain chord patterns, and George remarks that it is impossible to play that on a guitar.

really good! I'm not sure a casual viewer would have made it past the 30 minute mark of part one, but it's great for a fan to see the bigger
picture of the events we got to see in the "Let It Be" documentary.
Peter Jackson has done a brilliant job on this.
