About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fly-on-the-wall music time capsule and can accept a loose, sometimes tense rehearsal vibe; Not for you if you need a polished, tightly structured documentary like The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years.
Pros: rare creative-process access; strong live performances; iconic rooftop set | Cons: uneven focus; tense band moments; rough, grainy presentation
