George did, but he also was ponderously bitter and cynical in many spots, so much so that it frustrated me. The bit I always come back to are their final words on the whole experience:

 

Paul: "I'm really proud that nearly all of our songs dealt with love, peace, understanding..."

Ringo: (talking about the memories) "...the closeness...a hotel room here, a bathroom there...just four guys who really loved each other."

George: "The fans gave their screams and The Beatles gave their nervous systems."

Ah. Yes. I guess having become a fan originally in '78, I'm so used to seeing that side of Paul, it barely registers now.

:lol: I grew up a fan of The Beatles exclusively (ie none of the solo work) until 1990 or so, and even then I'm selective about what I like during the solo years. But since Paul is my favorite, I've seen that more than anything of the others...doesn't make it any less uncomfortable to watch/listen to!

I watched Episode 1 recently and it was cringing seeing Paul show off as he sang Twenty Flight Rock, left me feeling a bit sick truth be told as there was no need, its not as if we got George blasting out Raunchy. 

The recap of the music scene pre-Beatles had a great wide selection of songs plus its always good to see the 4 remember the music they were brought up on. And it was nice seeing Ringo come back in to the story after the very early days of Silver Beatles and Moon Dogs.

I've posted before that I love the music they were brought up on as my dad was brought up on the same music and I listened to it as he would play it either at home or in the car on road trips. Hearing it again on the Anthology series made me go out and buy a lot of it.

And all this time I thought the art was virtually abandoned in favor of CGI! Little did I know.

But back on topic...I found Ringo and George to (obviously) be the most laugh-out-loud funny in the interviews. For the most part, Paul was fine, but sometimes he lapsed back into that almost awkward/smarmy Paul that annoys me so, even though he's my favorite.

 

Paul was definitely getting a little McChirpy Chirp Thumbs Alofty at times. Can't remember if it was here or elsewhere that someone commented that George often saved the Anthology from degenerating into sentimental mush.
