Rooftop
Part way into the third DVD you can sense how intensely the Beatles have their feet to the fire. But, Paul pulls it together, so diplomatically:
The movie’s director, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, says, “Tomorrow, with the nine cameras, if we do tomorrow, there is a kind of, ‘Something will happen’.”
Paul replies, “No, it’s the best bit of us, always has been and always will be. It’s when we’ve got … when we’re backs-against-the-wall and we’ve been rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing.”
Paul then glances over at John, “And he knows it’s a take on the dub. And he does it great.”

You got to go and dig those holes (Man, I’m tired)
With broken hands and withered soles
Emancipated from all you know
You got to go and dig those holes
(Man, you slow dog)Holes by D-Tent Boys (2003)
Don’t want to miss the words “You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead”, because John & Paul sing it, just for fun, with their teeth clenched.
It’s sad to realize while watching this documentary that John would be shot dead 11 years later, and that George would die from lung cancer at age 58.
