In that scene, John looks so unbelievably bored...plus, I'm sure he was heavily stoned on H at that moment (as he was throughout those sessions). In fact, George has said one of the reasons he got so fed up during those sessions was not only Paul's bossiness, but John's seeming indifference to it all.

Sick as this may sound (and it's not even fully on-topic), I've been wanting to find out more about John's use of heroin. I have no idea about what people using the drug really act or look like because ...

I thought it wasn't very clear on the film that George left anyway. When I watched it, I didn't even know he left the band for a few days. He was gone, sure, but they weren't all in the same room all the time anyway so I never really thought about it. I only learned later that George left.

They purposely left that stuff out of it. Which makes the inclusion of Paul and George's tiff all the more curious.

Yeah, when I watched Let it be for the first time (and only time, since it's only flipped sidewards ...

I found fascinating that long scene in the Let It Be movie where Paul is talking to John on and on... and on and on... and on and on... such a stream of diarrhea of words I'm not sure what he's saying; while John just sits there patiently listening, nodding, and only saying "Mm-hm" here and there. Another glimpse perhaps into Paul's OCD.

Lol at that scene, John was just smoking and occasionally looking into Paul's eyes pretending that he's giving a damn.

Im surprised there hasnt been a book or documentary that hasnt focused on the Rooftop concert from the viewpoint of those down on the ground at the time. Maybe that will come out in 2098 when Let It Be is finally reissued and you can get it streamed directly into your brain and make your own directors cuts.

I was chatting to a colleague via IM about the rooftop concert and LIB. I'll paste this as he wrote it:

I told you my mum’s in that video didn’t I?

Seriously

She’s the woman in the red coat in the cutaways from the street – there’s two shots of her, one looking up at the roof and the other of her walking away

She never mentioned it when we were kids (probably because she didn’t know about it)- then when I saw Anthology on ITV for the first time, whenever it was on that first time, my head almost clean ...

John and George had a laugh together when reading a newspaper report that they got into a fight so i think its unlikely (its on the Get Back nagra tapes and available on bootleg).

Good points. It was John and Yoko, I think, who set George off most. It wasn't caught on film but they actually took swings at each other and had to be separated...I believe George quit later that day or the next.
