'70, '71.

he could get hold of,

a lot of good times,

168
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,320
but also went through
some turbulent times.

169
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,277
And as everybody knows,
you know, when we split up,

170
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,840
kind of, everybody was a bit
fed up with each other, but...

171
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,280
for Ringo, Paul and I,
we've had the opportunity

172
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,157
to, like, have all that
go down the river

173
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,877
and under the bridge
and to get together again

174
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,440
in a new light.

175
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
And I feel a bit sorry that John
wasn't able to do that.

176
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,120

really enjoyed this opportunity

177
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,520
to be with us again.

178
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,197
We'd all had enough time
to breathe,

179
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,877
and I think
it's much easier to...

180
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,200
to look at it
now from a distance.

181
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,077
We started off trying to make
the definitive story

182
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,357
of the Beatles
and ended up realizing

183
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,680
that it's almost impossible
to get the definitive story

184
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,678
because people look at things
from different points of view.

185
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,720
The Beatles Anthology is as much
of the history of the Beatles

186
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,480
that we can possibly get.

187
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,720
If I was doing my anthology,
it would be different.

188
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,637
You know,
I'd have different things in.

189
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,677
Uh, George the same,
Paul the same.

190
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,240

that's how it works.

193
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,477
Certainly,
when you get a situation

194
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:45,200
like the Beatles' story,

195
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,360

of what happened.

could bring us back.

and suddenly
I had, uh, three brothers.

268
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,077
We were all really close.
We looked out for each other,

269

you know, and this was
just brilliant for me.

We all had each other
to dilute the stress.

271

And being born in Liverpool,
the sense of humor

00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,517
was very important, and so
we always had a laugh as well.

was the major contributor

[Paul] I was going
round the world,

676
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,557
and a... a journalist would say,

677
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,197
"Is it true the Beatles
are gonna get back together?"

678
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,277
Or... [in foreign accent]
"Is it true the Beatles are gonna get..."

679
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,677
And, uh,
I had to have an answer,

680
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,175
some kind of answer for that.

681
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,277
So the answer became,
"Yeah, well, it may be

682
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,957
that the three of us will get in

685
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,000

what I thought we were gonna do.

686
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,397
[George] Different ideas
had been talked about,

687
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,357
that we could do
the background music

688
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,800
or even write a new song.

689
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,317
We always had a, you know,
a thing between the three of us,

690
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,957
or the four of us at that time,

691
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,877
that if any one of us
wasn't in it,

692
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,480
we weren't gonna go out
as The Beatles.

693

00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,357
as interesting as it may be,

695
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,717
and as nice
as we could sure make it,

696
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,797
to have John in it
is the obvious thing.

697
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,437
So, um, in thinking about that,
the natural next thought was,

698
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,677
"Well, what if
there is a cassette of John's?"

And, uh,
she sent us these tapes,

704
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,560
and that's how it came about.

705
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,557

you'll probably have three

706
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,797

some other person.

713
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,597
And then we thought of Elvis,

714
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,357
and somebody had talked
to the Elvis estate,

715
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,240
and they loved the idea
of Elvis being in the Wilburys.

716
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,520
The idea was that we put Elvis
onto a multi-track machine,

717
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,360
and then we redo
the entire backing,

718
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,920
change the chords,
change the tune, whatever,

719
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,037

But I was talking to Yoko
and telling her this idea,

728
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,837
