As it turns out, Peter Jackson’s “Get Back” might be only the second-most satisfying authorized Beatles documentary of 2021 when it comes out around Thanksgiving time. Or maybe it…
-hosted “McCartney 3, 2, 1” is such an unerring delight that it sets a very high bar for Beatlemania satiation this year. Not because it’s that artfully created or brilliantly hosted, but maybe because it doesn’t aspire to impress anyone with anything except how effortlessly it prompts the most talented musician of the last century to empty out a good portion of his brainpan for public perusal.
There is a near-complete randomness to the series that’s kind of refreshing, with no beats to hit to establish where the Beatles were at their career — just mainlining hit after hit of anecdotes about “Baby’s in Black” or “Eleanor Rigby” or “A Day in the Life” or “Penny Lane”… or, in the very, very moments when Rubin finds something after 1969 valuable, “Band on the Run” or “Waterfalls.
2. Also on “All My Loving,” McCartney points up the separate lead guitar solo and says, simply: “Country!” And though you probably never noticed it before, it is. 5. Having recruited a pro for the final solo of “Penny Lane,” McCartney vocally dictates how the solo should go, then is informed of the climactic high note, “That’s officially out of the range of the piccolo trumpet.” He never seems happier over the course of the series than when he is playing air-piccolo-trumpet and mimes the note he badgered the bloke into reaching.
8. McCartney used to be a guitarist, alongside Lennon, in the first incarnation of their band, then had stage fright one night in Liverpool. “After that, I thought no more lead.” Except, of course, for all the times he badgered someone else about how to play a lead guitar solo and then they just told him to do it, like George Harrison handing over the reins on “Taxman.” “It was kind of an awkward thing; if you’d had a good idea for something you’d say it, the other guy would say, ‘You play it.
