♪♪♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.

WE'RE BACK WITH RINGO STARR.

PETER JACKSON IS EDITING TOGETHER THIS 54 HOURS OF

FOOTAGE THAT WAS RECOVERED FROM WHEN YOU GUYS WERE DOING THE

GET-BACK PROJECT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY BECAME SEVERAL

DIFFERENT ALBUMS.

THOSE RECORDINGS.

BUT I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF IT.

I THINK I CAN LEGALLY SAY.

I'VE SEEN SOME OF IT, AND WHAT STRIKES ME IS IS THAT, WHILE,

YOU KNOW, PAUL OR JOHN IS SAYING, WELL, LET'S TRY THIS

SONG, I WROTE THERE SONG LAST NIGHT, LET ME TEACH YOU LADY

MADONNA, OR GEORGE IS TRYING TO TEACH YOU A SONG, YOU'RE NEVER

ALLOWED TO STOP WORKING BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS AT THE KID.

THEY'RE TAKING BREAKS BUT YOU'RE ROOTED TO THE SPOT BECAUSE THEY

ALL NEED YOU FOR THE SONGS.

WERE YOU THE HARDEST WORKING BEATLE?

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: IT'S FUCIAL -- YOU HEARD IT FROM HIS OWN

MOUTH, YEAH!

>> Stephen: BUT YOU DID NOT GET A BREAK.

>> I HAD A LITTLE SETUP, A LITTLE TABLE WITH A LITTLE DRINK

OR TWO ON IT AND A PACK OF CIGARETTES, BECAUSE IN THOSE

DAYS THAT'S WHAT WE DID, AND I JUST HUNG OUT THERE.

AND IF ANYBODY STARTED, I'M WITH YOU, BROTHER.

THAT'S HOW IT WAS, YOU KNOW.

>> Stephen: IT'S EXTRAORDINARY.

I CAN'T WAIT.

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF THE FOOTAGE FROM THAT DOCUMENTARY THAT PETER

JACKSON IS WORKING ON?

>> I HAVE, AND PETER JUSTED TO COME INTO L.A. AND HE WOULD COME

OVER.

I ALWAYS MOANED THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY WAS VERY NARROW AND

IT WAS BUILT AROUND A MOMENT OF, LIKE, AAAHHH!

AND THERE WAS NO JOY IN IT.

I WAS THERE.

WE WERE LAUGHING.

WE WERE THE LADS.

WE WOULD DO THIS.

YOU KNOW, AND THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF TENSION, NO ONE CAN TAKE

THAT AWAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, TO USE THAT MOMENT AND NOT USE THESE 56

HOURS OF UNUSED FILM, AND, SO, I WAS TELLING PETER JACKSON THE

TALE I JUST TOLD YOU, AND HE WOULD COME IN AND SHOW ME STUFF

ON HIS iPad.

AND HE'D SAY, LOOK AT THIS, AND WE'RE LAUGHING.

AND I TOLD HIM THAT STORY, YOU KNOW, THAT IF I WENT TO THE

TOILET OR PHOTO GET A CUP OF TEA, ONE WOULD BE ON THE KIT.

JOHN PAUL OR GEORGE WOULD BE BANGING THOSE DRUMS.

EVERY GUITARREST WANTS TO BE A DRUMMER AND EVERY BAND MEMBER

WANTS TO BE THE DRUMMER.

SO HE'S SHOWN ME IN THE CLIP YU'VE PROBABLY SEEN, WE'RE

PLAYING THE SONG AND SUDDENLY WE CUT TO GEORGE, TO JOHN, TO PAUL,

AND THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES, YOU KNOW.

IT WAS SO GREAT.

BUT I WAS SET UP IN MY LITTLE CORNER, THE DRUM SESSION CORNER

I WENT TO, AND I COULD LIVE OUT THERE, HAVE A CIGARETTE, A DRINK

AND PLAY FOR YOU.

>> Stephen: WELL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO GET A CHANCE TO

SEE CERTAINLY WHAT PETER HAS PUT TOGETHER.

>> IT'S SO GREAT.

>> Stephen: IT'S SO AMAZING.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINAL CUT.

I'VE ONLY SEEN BITS OF IT.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> Stephen: BUT WHAT COMES THROUGH, STRIKINGLY, IS,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE NOT A -- I HAVE A GREAT LOVE OF THE

BEATLES BUT I HAVE A VERY PEDESTRIAN KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAST

COUPLE OF YEARS OF THE BEATLES TOGETHER.

OF COURSE, I HAD ALL THE STORIES OF THE STRIFE IN MY HEAD.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: BUT THIS, SUPPOSEDLY ONE TO HAVE THE MOST

STRIFE-FILLED RECORDING EGGS IS, YOU GUYS ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN,

YOU CLEARLY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: THAT IS THE MOST CLEAR THING IS EVEN AFTER THE

FIGHTS IT'S HUGS AND KISSES.

IT'S BROTHERHOOD THE ENTIRE TIME, AND BROTHERS FIGHT.

>> THAT'S WHAT WE KEEP SAYING.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A ROW, AND YOU GET OVER IT.

BUT THAT WAS TAKEN.

THE BEST THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY WAS WE

PLAYED ON THE ROOF.

>> Stephen: MM-HMM.

YOU KNOW, WE DID THIS ALL THE TIME.

OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO PLAY LIVE.

I LOVED IT.

BECAUSE THERE'S A SECTION PAUL SAYS, WELL, WHO WANTS TO PLAY

LIVE?

I SAID, I DO.

AND WE WOULD SAY, YEAH, WE'VE GOT TO DO IT, LIKE, IN EGYPT

WITH THE PYRAMIDS, OR UP MT. EVEREST, OR HAWAII IN THE

VOLCANO.

LET'S JUST WALK ACROSS THE ROAD, YOU KNOW.

ALL THE COVERS ARE PRETTY EASY.

>> Stephen: WELL, EVEN THAT MOMENT, EVEN THE ROOFTOP MOMENT

IS FAR MORE COMPLETE AND JOYOUS AND PLANNED AND IT IS NOT AT ALL

WHAT IT'S BEEN BUILT UP TO BE ABOUT IT.

IT'S A JOYOUS AND COMPLETE MOMENT UP THERE.

>> I LOVE IT.

IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT.

LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, IT WAS PUT OFF TILL THIS YEAR.

WE HOPE IT WILL SHOW THIS YEAR.

>> Stephen: I'M SURE IT WILL, AND IT'S GOING TO BLOW PEOPLE

AWAY AND IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT

THE RELATIONSHIP WAS TOWARD THE END OF THE BEATLES FOR

EVERYBODY.

>> YEAH.
