I love this it looks like you've just walked in on him telling telling art garfunkel how to cast wizard spells and art is so enraptured and george is speaking so intimately and so close but then you set off george's wizard senses and he hones in on you from across the room watching him whisper sweet alchemical nothings in art garfunkel's ear and he vaporizes you on the spot by invoking the power of the crystal ball he trapped tom petty in 1000 times (also a wizard.)
The thing about I'd have you anytime and behind that locked door is that both songs started with george trying to get to bob. He started I'd have you anytime with "let me in here, I know I've been here, let me into your heart" bc bob was distant in that trip to woodstock. Behind that locked door is an entire song with a similar idea but he also wants to show to bob that he is loved by everyone ("the love you are blessed with this/world is waiting for") and by george himself ("with only this short time/I'm gonna be here with you") and also how much george loves to listen to him ("and the tales you've told me/from the things that you saw/makes me want our your heart"). And then on the concert for bangladesh when bob goes there and play in the concert he is basically opening himself to that possibility, yknow??? And when George says "I'd like to bring an old friend of us all, Mr Bob Dylan" he is reinforcing those ideas he mentioned on behind that locked door, that Bob is loved by everyone, but he does it in a much bigger scale somehow
“When Julian went to George’s concert the next day, Neil Aspinall, John, and I went to talk with Lee Eastman, Linda’s father. While there, Julian called with a message from George: “All’s forgiven, George loves you and he wants you to come to his party tonight.” We did go the party at the Hippopotamus Club, where George, John, and Paul hugged. John, Julian, and I left New York the following day to spend Christmas in West Palm Beach, Florida.
On December 29, 1974, the voluminous documents were brought down to John in Florida by one of Apple’s lawyers. “Take out your camera, Linda,” he joked to me. Then he called Harold Seider to go over some final points.
When John hung up the phone, he looked wistfully out the window. I could almost see him replaying the entire Beatles experience in his mind.
He finally picked up his pen and, in the unlikely backdrop of Disney World, at the Polynesian Village Hotel, officially ended the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in history by simply scrawling John Lennon at the bottom of the page.”

"The highlight was the reading of letters from female fans that shocked the group. ‘How do they even know about this stuff!’ was one remark." - Philip Jones-Griffiths
Not used lyrics for i'd have you anytime are insane
"All that i can say is not enough/it comforts me to know we're so much in love" "(without a doubt)"
"Let me hear you" "let me say it to you"
"I've got a song" "it isn't long"(? I think?) "Let me play it to you"
And of course whatever the hell "and i'm so glad that you're my love" is supposed to mean
