Presented here is an analysis of the current streaming version of the Beatles documentary first produced 30 years ago. This is less a conversation comparing a cut by cut A/B comparison so much as an overview of some changes that HAVE been made, and much discussion into what the intent behind the new presentation may be, who it is made for, what the strategy is (if any) behind some of the changes and where there is room to go forward in presenting the group’s history.  SATB welcomes two new additions to the Beatles podcasting pool: Mike Vaccaro and Jesse Pollack, who host All You Need Is Pod. You can find it on Apple podcasts and follow them on Instagram. 

Rob has dug deeper into the magic of Macca’s bass lines than anyone and has the website and videos to prove it. We went down the rabbit hole of influences and evolution.  Also on board: bassist Arion Salazar, musician extraordinaire and Beatles geek.  Be sure to check out Rob’s site and YouTube channel. (And look for Arion’s fab Beatles tributes while you’re at it.)
