The first attempt at “I Saw Her Standing There” from The Lyrics
(v. 1 p 327)
You’re just seventeen You act like a queen Your…..are beyond compare So how could I dance with another When I see you standing there.
i’m sorry…
YOU ACT LIKE A QUEEN?
Also, totally gender neutral. It started out totally and completely gender neutral.
These are the additions I noticed:
John's statement about George (I think from Lennon Remembers) that he wouldn't buy his album, that ATMP means nothing to him, and that George should be grateful that he could learn from John and Paul.
The addiction of John and Linda's performance of "Love in strange" in the background when the song "Bless you" sounded with the line: "Love is strange".
Excerpt from a 1975 interview with John in which he says he wonders what Paul thought of his performance of "I Saw Her Standing There" at Madison Square Garden.
The questionnaire, in which John described Paul as extraordinary, Bowie as thin etc., was supplemented with pictures.
The ending (which kinda broke my heart).
can we make the connection between
“the time has come, the walrus said, for you and i to stay in bed again “ (from a take of john’s starting over )
and
“- if john lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him?
- in bed “ (from one of paul’s interviews )
okay thanks
Question: Is there anything about one of your photographs that make you smile because you know what is going on behind the camera?
Pattie: There was a photograph I took in India and the Beatles where writing music for the white album. It was a very creative time. But I got one shot of Paul and John sitting together. John is just looking at Paul and Paul is making some sort of face. And I just wish I knew what they would have been saying. But something...there's something going on.
Interestingly, Pattie tweeted this on Paul's birthday:
Ringo and Paul from Ringo’s Lifted. Caption reads: “This unusual and interesting photograph of me and Paul McCartney together was taken on a timer. And I’m thankful that even after all this time had passed, Paul and I are still here and still holding on to one another.”

Here’s the Let it Be excerpt spliced with the Get back scene. (Basically I synched the original audio with Peter Jackson’s restored film) see this post for more
