I'm in the process of watching, about half way through. It's unbelievable those 20 something year old's in the span of 2 weeks and a scheduled show that was going to feature all new music, were able to produce a new album.
Included in that album was Paul McCarthy's "Get Back". A song he seemed to compose "on the fly"
Lots of cool interactions on this Disney+ documentary. They did not always get along and often bickered, as perfectionist do. Another note, Paul and John could both play keyboards, but decided they needed a dedicated organ player for certain songs. Billy Preston, yes Billy Preston, accepted the invitation, taking the rehearsals and finished product over the top.
So yes, highly recommend "Get Back" It's just fascinating. These guys worked, and worked hard, and that is on display in this flick, and is one reason they were, maybe the best group, of all time.
BTW, did you know the Beatles broke up BEFORE they ALL were the age of 30 ! All those many enormous, huge classic hit songs, written and played before they were 30, is just hard to believe.
