The Beatles' 2021 documentary, "Get Back," received widespread acclaim, but not everyone was a fan. One critic was David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. In an interview with Uncut magazine, Gilmour described the documentary as a "hard watch." He pointed out Paul McCartney's domineering presence, John Lennon's withdrawal due to his personal circumstances at the time, and George Harrison's temporary departure and subsequent return.
Gilmour's critique stands out given his long-standing relationship with The Beatles. Both Pink Floyd and The Beatles recorded at London's Abbey Road Studios in the late '60s. In fact, McCartney and his band Wings were working there when Pink Floyd recorded their iconic album, "The Dark Side of the Moon." Gilmour's connection with McCartney went beyond shared studio space. He also played on McCartney's 1999 album, "Run Devil Run."
Despite his criticism of "Get Back," Gilmour's respect for The Beatles and their impact on music is undeniable. Another Beatles documentary is on the way. The restored version of "Let It Be" premieres next Wednesday, May 8th, on Disney+.
