"And in the end the love you take, is equal to the love you make."  Backing up to Brian's death, this is mostly about the "slow death" of the Beatles, so there's less giddiness here, and more reflection.  No mention is made of the years that came after the break-up, including Lennon's murder, but John's spirit is present throughout of course.  My favorite part is about the rooftop concert in Let It Be, especially with the reactions of the spectators, including a delighted little old man.  Overall, a very moving documentary, maybe not "complete," but very satisfying.
