00:00:00
well it was yeah it was kind of magical
00:00:02
for me because
00:00:04
um that period had in my memory had
00:00:07
always been a little bit dark because it
00:00:10
was to do with the Beatles breaking up
00:00:12
so the first let it be filmed was cut a
00:00:17
little bit with that in mind so I found
00:00:18
it a bit depressing yes and I never
00:00:21
wanted to watch the first lady b film
00:00:23
and so when Peter Jackson was slated to
00:00:27
do this this version I said to him Peter
00:00:30
you know I'm not sure I'm gonna like
00:00:32
this because you know
00:00:34
um you know I got blamed for breaking up
00:00:36
the Beatles and in actual fact it wasn't
00:00:38
me no and I've been trying to explain
00:00:40
that to people for years and years
00:00:44
but then after a couple of months he'd
00:00:47
been working on it he got in touch with
00:00:49
me he said it's not like that at all he
00:00:52
said it's amazing so there's just these
00:00:54
four guys in a room and you're having
00:00:57
fun and you're working together
00:00:59
so you sent me a little clip which
00:01:03
really saved my life this is a little
00:01:06
bit where John and I were I'm working on
00:01:08
uh she came in through the bathroom
00:01:10
window and I'm just strumming on the
00:01:13
base and then and uh John's on the piano
00:01:15
and uh the end of it I said no no no no
00:01:20
Monday's on his Tuesday's on the phone
00:01:21
to me
00:01:23
and I go hello Tuesday
00:01:27
immediately picks it up yeah he's coming
00:01:30
right I can't remember what he says he's
00:01:32
coming over it's still routine you know
00:01:36
if I'm ringing Tuesday
00:01:38
um and I thought oh God yeah that's how
00:01:41
it was it was it was fantastic
00:01:44
so yeah we um I loved it I really loved
00:01:48
it and you know with with Peter
00:01:51
um what do you call it re remastering to
00:01:54
make it so shiny and bright
00:01:57
star and everything and the sound and
00:02:00
all of that
00:02:01
um it was like having an old home movie
00:02:04
of yourself oh my God yeah but perfect
00:02:07
and you know and I really I forgave
00:02:10
myself when I saw that because I'm
00:02:13
thinking no where everyone's everyone's
00:02:16
messing around and we're all messing
00:02:19
around we're goofing around it's not
00:02:21
like we we haven't got to do anything in
00:02:23
a month's time yeah with these songs we
00:02:26
haven't written yet 14 songs yeah
00:02:30
so but um what were you forgiving
00:02:33
yourself about yeah why did you feel you
00:02:36
had to forgive yourself I thought I was
00:02:38
too bossy I thought that that would been
00:02:41
the problem we said when I saw the film
00:02:44
I'm not being bossy at all I'm just
00:02:46
trying to get people to work yes you
00:02:49
know I totally I'm just trying to get on
00:02:52
C note come on guys you know it's two
00:02:55
weeks off you know uh so people have
00:02:59
said to me you'd ask about FEMA Peter
00:03:01
said to me well someone had to do that
00:03:03
oh yeah someone asked that guy
00:03:07
I let myself off I thought yeah that's
00:03:10
all I was trying to do I wasn't trying
00:03:12
to be pushy or I was just trying to get
00:03:15
the work done uh on the other aspect I
00:03:18
thought was great is that the way we
00:03:20
just goofed around that's what I loved
00:03:22
you know I think you think
00:03:25
but uh John Cleese had a thing where it
00:03:29
was
00:03:30
um work as a tool no no play as a tool
00:03:34
yes so in other words you're goofing
00:03:36
goof and goofing and then you come to do
00:03:38
the thing so
00:03:40
yeah we messed around with the song so
00:03:43
much that it made them not intimidating
00:03:47
we'd like we'd done them as jokes hello
00:03:50
Tuesday you know yeah so when you came
00:03:53
to do the song you weren't as frightened
00:03:56
as you might have been
00:03:58
it was just this stuff you've been
00:04:00
goofing around on I don't want to
00:04:02
interrupt that flow but yet sometimes
00:04:03
you guys would to release pressure I
00:04:05
guess to sing some of your brilliant
00:04:07
songs from the years previous but in a
00:04:09
funny voice that always struck me kind
00:04:12
of that was very funny you all would do
00:04:14
that I mean you just again that's the
00:04:16
thing you know you take the wind out of
00:04:18
it in a way yeah yeah and I'd forgotten
00:04:21
that we did that you know I kind of knew
00:04:24
well I've forgotten the specifics so
00:04:27
Peter's film then he just shows shows us
00:04:30
working on the song Two of Us
00:04:39
just the fact that and we don't just do
00:04:42
it for two lines no we like we took the
00:04:45
whole gloves some minutes and we're
00:04:47
looking at each other and you know
00:04:49
that's that Spirit was
00:04:53
always there from the minute I met John
00:04:55
yeah until the minute The Beatles broke
00:04:58
up and Beyond actually you know there
00:05:00
was always that sort of we just two guys
00:05:03
goofing our way through the world
