Derrière les murs des Studios Abbey Road

Just leave Liam Gallagher out of an intelligent documentary.

He just adds irrelevant nonsense.

The Gallagher brothers didn't feature much in the documentary but at least Noel brings a little detail to Oasis's time there.

If you're an LG fan boy don't waste you're time. Please just watch him butcher all the classics over and over at every gig since lockdown.

Great input from the rest of the cast who bring an interesting story to their time in AR.

From Cliff to Celeste (whom, by the way is top of my next play list) this is a brilliant insight to the ups and downs of the best recoding studio in the World.

An entertaining documentary that fails to really get under the skin of the subject; it's a fairly superficial overview that spends too much time covering well-worn topics (specifically The Beatles, in particular songs like 'A Day in the Life' and 'Blackbird', which have been covered to death). Rather than telling a linear story of the studio's up and downs over the decades, it jumps around to just profile a handful of big names that McCartney has access to, spending as much time discussing their general achievements as their time at Abbey Road. Other documentaries telling the stories of iconic studios, like Muscle Shoals or Sound City, managed to tease out what made the studios special: be that the time, the place or the specific technical aspects of the equipment; Mary McCartney seems to land on the Abbey Road staff being the key to its enduring success, so it's a shame they aren't better profiled. Who were these talented "boffins" who could bring the artists' ideas to life? This film feels like it only scratches the surface, delivering some facts and a few new interviews, but no great insight.

Wow. Any music lover will get goosebumps hearing these classic songs being recorded at Abbey Road. What a joy to see and hear these old legendary recordings!

The Abbey Road studio was originally just a huge mansion, redesigned in the thirties into an ernomous recording studio, which saw the likes of The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd record monumental albums (Dark Side of the Moon). Later on film music (Star Wars) was being recorded there as well, with one room creating a wall of sound, which can be best heard in the song "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey. Powerful stuff!

Paul McCarthy gets special attention in this documentary, and that's totally fair, since most folks got to know Abbey Road because of the Beatles and especially through their last record called Abbey Road, with the famous zebra crossing picture. Lots of funny interview clips and insights how certain legendary Beatles songs were born.

Highly recommended watch AND listen for any music fan of the sixties and seventies!

Abbey Road is the music studio in London most famous for the Beatles final recorded album. Let it Be waas recorded earlier but released later.

As someone old enough to remember the music of the 1960's, seeing the four Liverpool lads creating their unforgettable music made the documentary by Mary McCartney worth the watch. Her father Paul is the star but Roger Waters and others provide additional good material.

Two of my favorite albums are Abbey Road by the Beatles and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and listening to Paul and Roger Waters recall their magical days at the studio made the film worthwhile for me.

Unfortunately, one of the final segments includes Kanye West. Given recent events, Ye belongs on the cutting room floor.

If These Walls Could Sing is a fine viewing for any music lover.

This is a great piece of history, and it is amazing to see all of the great performers that recorded here. From EMI records to the new name Abbey Road. These walls witnessed the beginning of the Beatles, from when their first meeting /audition with George Martin, to their unforgettable walk (now a landmark) and their album titled Abbey Road. I loved the interviews and memories of Paul McCartney, Elton John, Giles Martin, Pink Floyd, Liam Gallagher, etc. One thing I didnt know, was all the amazing George Lucas' movie scores that were recorded here.

All and all, an amazing show, and i think the tittle is perfect if only "These walls could sing".

Great job Mary!
