Was there tension during the anthology? I've heard people say that but I never saw it, maybe it's just me? I thought they all had a great time, obviously it was weird cause John wasn't there though
i think thereās some of bothāgeorge looks a littleā¦done in some bits. thereās also the matter of him not wanting to finish work on a final song, again, by that point i think he was tired. didnāt he make a remark about it really not being the same thing without john there in a sort ofĀ āwhatās the pointā kind of manner? i also have read (if iām remembering right, from thatĀ ābehind the locked doorā book which i hadā¦some issues with but thatās another conversation) but from other places too, that his main motivation for doing the project was that he could use a cash boost, plain and simple (he wasnāt doing so hot at the time). otherwise, iām quite certain he wouldnāt have been in a great hurry to rehash a very sensitive and rather painful time of his life (and didnāt he throw a hissy bc the original title wasĀ āthe long and winding roadā and he didnāt want it to be named after a paul song? i think thatās a clue of what weāre working with here)
but i also think there are times when you get a glimpse of some genuine joy and contentment on his end. perhaps parts of it surprised even him. also, i doubt he was comfortable with all the cameras on him so it could be just a natural unease w/ that too.Ā
