This is a fascinating look at the Beatles' creative process. They seem to be just sitting around jamming, but slowly a familiar Beatles tune emerges. The mental telepathy between John Lennon and Paul McCartney is shown in action. It became clear why George Harrison wanted to leave: he was almost totally excluded from the process. At one point he says "Just tell me what to play. I'll play whatever you want." This was just before he walked out. Yoko Ono's role becomes evident as well: she sits practically on John's shoulder all the time. She must have been very annoying to the rest of the band.
In short, a fascinating look at the creative process in general. They had 14 days to come up with new tunes for a concert. All ideas are heard, even some really loony ones like wanting to hold the upcoming concert in Libya, or somewhere.
