Mine arrived by wire last weekend and after some frustration with metadata they’re all as a separate file how they should have been.

It should prove to be a very enjoyable Thanksgiving Day watch for us here!

Peter Jackson is a great filmmaker, but boy does he need to learn the important of editing…
(I’m still planning to watch the whole lot, though!)

Can’t help wondering if there is a commercial intent behind it that wanted an eight hour output.
Jackson showed he is an absolute master of editing with his magnificent They Shall Not Grow Old documentary.

It was. From 60 hours of video to 8.

Yes, I know that. And as a huge Beatles fan, i’d be happy watching all 60 hours. But IMO there should be different edits, including one that comes in at less than 8 hours…
Glad you’re enjoying it and I certainly am not saying that you shouldn’t. It is just that if this were the only reason then you might want to think twice and wait for the 2 hour edit to come out

It received a favourable review in the Independent. I just hope it gets a release on DVD.

The Beatles played Thimblemill Baths, Smethwick in November 1962. Just 100 metres from my house. I was six, my mother listened to Josef Locke and Mario Lanza. We heard the screaming and crowds surged down the road. I never saw them play live and by the time I was at work the early stuff wasn’t cool. I think that no one heard the music at the baths, but they certainly would have had an experience in the hall or outside.

That is a typical snarky Groaniad contrarian hatchet job. Everyone else seems to be giving it rave reviews. The Grun’s culture coverage these days is so dumbed-down and middlebrow it’s laughable. Wankers!
I’m an hour into Ep1 and I think it’s fantastic!

I’ve it switched on as background noise during my work. Heresy!
I’m somehow getting nervous by Yoko sitting there all the time.

Seriously though I’ve long felt I’m not in their Arts/Culture/Lifestyle demographic - cue Ed Reardon 12 year olds rant.
Yep, agreed.
