Touring enabled McCartney to spend more time with people and to get to know them better, including the Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein. Looking back on the photographs today, McCartney says of those moments, ‘We had all these opportunities: seeing Brian, who we normally just sat and talked business with, but now here he was on tour with us and so we could have a lot of fun… play cards together and eat together, so it was more intimate. We became much more used to each other.’

His affectionate portraits of Epstein are particularly poignant. In one sequence, Epstein laughed in delight as he realised McCartney was snapping his picture.

10 JANUARY 1969: George Harrison leaves The Beatles abruptly. Here is his full diary entry:

“Got up, went to Twickenham, rehearsed until lunch time — left the Beatles — went home and in the evening did King of Fuh at Trident Studio — had chips later at Klaus and Christine’s, went home.”

Well, I’ll tell you one of the things that affected me — and I never even thought about it before but the footage is there — I had an appreciation how utterly painful this must have been for Paul. Because he’s watching his closest creative collaborator — someone he’s known since he was fifteen or sixteen years old — start to drift and go towards Yoko. John’s not pushing Paul away, but Paul’s watching Yoko now become the creative collaborator John’s excited about. And can you imagine how painful that must be for Paul? How utterly, utterly painful. He’s just watching it. And he’s okay, he deals with it. He loves the Beatles, he loves John, he wants to go on with it. But boy, what a pa— and you feel it. And I never— that never even occurred to me before. You know, it’s all about John and Paul hating each other and not talking to each other, all that negative stuff. But it’s actually— you see this kind of thing happening and it’s just— it’s wow. – Peter Jackson on John & Paul.
