I’m hoping cinemas showings of let it be. And a dvd/blu ray release by the end of 2024
I think the second thing is nailed on. Not so sure about the cinema release but you never know . It woukd be nice
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel it happened with the rooftop concert so you never know
@@Reyridleyracing true
I hope they restore every film, including live concerts, I'm crossing fingers for Shea Stadium.
I'd love to have that.
That’ll be so amazing with the sound. My uncle was there and my best friends mom.
Only if they could use the MAL technology to separate out the music from the screaming fans.
Great news about Let It Be but sadly I don't have Disney+ so I am hoping there will be a physical release and a deluxe one at that with lots of extras (one can dream 😁) and that I will buy for sure. Thanks again Tone for keeping us updated.
You’re welcome mate. I dont have it now either Maurice but i’ll just subscribe for a month to watch it in May and wait fir the blu-ray
Put out “Hard days night” in the theatre again. F It. Never let it die. Keep introducing new generations to The Beatles. 👑👍🏻
Just now found your channel it was recommended after I was looking up Beatles Let It Be 2024. This is great news. Get Back absolutely was a delight. I had a vhs copy of Let It Be that my late uncle recorded onto a vhs Maxell tape back around the early 90's. I watched it so much that it eventually wore out. Since then I have seen a clean copy of Let It Be on Internet Archive. I can't wait to see the restored Let It Be. This is welcome news. I wasn't born til the late 70's but the Beatles have always been my favorite band. My mom raised me on their great music. Now I gotta catch up with some of the other videos you have posted & just by scrolling thru them they look very interesting.
Hi Ewan thank you for subscribing to the channel, welcome and i hope you enjoy the content here. Yes great news my only copy was a vhs recorded from the tv too. Sounds like your mum did some great parenting. I think this film will look so great after the clean up procedure
Great news Beatley Tone!!! Can't wait!!! Im watching Get back now on Disney + hopefully Apple will release some kind of vinyl and CD dvd blu-ray maybe rooftop concert on Vinyl in its entirety on cd too!!! Give it a full treatment like you said Tone this is history!!! Apple do this right a grand production and some kind of music from Let it be ! There is plenty of full version of songs that haven't been released!!! Disney and beatles are a good match bring in the kids Apple and Disney because the original fans are dying off!!!! Keep it young!!! Thanks Tone!!! Keep us informed!!!
Thanks John glad you enjoyed the video. yes there is plenty of potential to make this a really special package so lets hope they do the right thing. You have now made me want to go and watch Get Back singly by mentioning thats what youre doing lol
Excellent news Mr Tone a Fresh new Let It Be would be very nice to see. Your comments on a the rooftop concert is spot on. As always your perspective is so refreshing Cheers from Houston 🇺🇸✌️🎼🎸🎶
Thanks very much Boysie . Your comments are always much appreciated. Cheers from London
Fantastic job as always we're so lucky to have someone like you to keep us up-to-date with all the new things happening with the Beatles and their solo career
Thanks very much William, appreciate the comment
By the way, this Beatles documentary movie was released by United Artists, An MGM Company and it's rated G.
yes and rated U in the UK
Exciting! Thankyou for the update. I love this channel
Thanks very much Scott. Glad you rnjoy the content here
that is great news, lets hope it will also be in the shops soon, thank you for sharing Tone, keep up the great work , cheers, Dave
Yeah great news Dave. Cheers buddy
I saw Let it Be in the Ioka theater in 1970. It did come out on VHS because I bought it, but I don't believe it even made it to DVD after that. It just sort of disappeared. A restoration would definitely make it worth revisiting. Great info, thanks for sharing!
I've had a bootleg DVD bought on eBay about a decade ago, and it as a great extras disc. I subscribed to Disney purely to watch Get Back, but I don't think I'll do that again. I'll wait for the Blu Ray.
No definitely didnt make it to Dvd offically. The restoration will definitely make this worth a second look
Youre a more patient man than me Anthony. I’ll resubscribe to disney for a month then cancel. Its only about £6 andvyou cant even buy 2 pints for that these days so worth it think
Fantastic News , can’t wait till the 8th May .Now I’m looking forward to buying it on Blue ray , when that is announced , I hope there is a super deluxe edition for let it be , and not a standard edition , only time will tell . But it’s a big announcement for us Beatle’s fans .
Yes it is John . Some fans not appreciating the news but im so happy this is coming out. Hopibg for a deluxe box too
People will want this for the same reason that they want the original mono recordings
Ok tone you've sold me on this. I was one saying I would buy it but there needs to be lots of extras. But it's been so long since I saw let it be I had forgotten that there was a less interrupting version of the rooftop concert and full performances of songs not in get back and you see I didn't know they were going to upgrade the sound using MAL. So now I've heard all that I'm in. Thanks Tone you've made me feel better and more excited about let it be. Cheers brother.
You're welcome Craig
In the press release Michael Lindsay-Hogg indicated he asked Sir Peter Jackson to give the movie a more filmic appearance which I think is a good thing given it was originally a cinema release
I agree Stephen
Great news, now the only Beatles film we can’t get is Shea Stadium. Come on Apple!
No doubt it will happen one say Graham
I really hope so. Saw it at the cinema a few years ago and it was amazing.
Well, I guess I'll wait for the Blu-ray. It will be interesting to see if we get any extras since I seem to remember hearing they have had commentaries and other extras ready to go for years. It would be nice to get a uninterrupted rooftop concert if that's possible.
I think the commentaries by Jackson and Lindsey Hogg were recorded last year Stephen. Im not waiting for the blu-ray.I will re-subscribe to Disney for 1 month and then cancel. It's only £6 and you cant even buy 2 pints in London for that these days . Bargain !
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Around 2005 rumors were flying that Let It Be was finally getting released with a bunch of extras including commentaries. I'm just wondering if any of these will be used.
@@stephenrostkoski837 Difficult to say, if they were just rumours they may not have even existed eh
Great news Tone! ‘At last’ indeed! Released on May 8th same day as the original LP. Let’s hope for a physical release together with Peter Jackson’s extended Get Back and commentary from Michael Lindsay Hogg and Peter! 🤞
Yes i didnt realise it was exactly the same date. Fingers crossed that we get that commentary, it should be fascinating
"Bésame mucho" was not in GET BACK 😢 but Michael Lindsay-Hogg had the vision to include that song written by the mexican female composer Consuelito Velazquez, and it's important since The Beatles recorded very few songs of women and that mexican bolero was written entirely by a girl born in Jalisco. Good news❤
Yes and its also significant as it brings the Beatles full circle as they did the song at their Decca audition too
Great announcement! Deeply hoping there is a DVD/Blu Ray release as well! It wouldn't complete without a physical release.
Im sure that will happen Jeff
It is pretty cool. I just hope there is a physical media release. Especially if it’s a deluxe package of some sort. Would be nice if the Rooftop Concert also finally got a physical release with it.
I expect the blu-ray to come out around August time. 3 months was the gap between get Back and the blu-ray so I expect this to be similar Dustin
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel it’ll be nice to add it to the collection. I can throw the crappy bootleg DVD I have of it out.
@@BeatleDustino indeed. you can even include the binning of the bootleg as part of your unboxing video for good effect 😂
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I like that plan. 🗑️
Good point about the post-rooftop tunes, which are sort of pared down in Get Back. I do hope, though, that along with Let It Be that we FINALLY get the full, unedited rooftop concert, without the cutaways for crowd interviews and Constable Ray chewing his chin strap.
hmm dont hold yer breath on that one
I've waited this long, I'll wait a bit longer for the DVD release of this great movie, which incidentally was nominated for several oscars in early '71. I'm not going to re subscribe to Disney + for this. But it is great news that it is finally getting the restoration and the release that it rightfully deserves. Many thanks for this breaking news Tone....
You're clearly a more patient man than me Terry. I will subscribe to Disney for the month of may so I can watch it and then cancel . It's only about 6 or 7 quid and you cant even buy 2 pints in London for that money these days. I think the DVD/Blu-ray will be out by August
You were right and you’re always quick to the party! I can’t wait!
Thank you . Cant wait either
I'm with you. Can't wait to see "Let It Be" restored for all the reasion you cited. Mainly I've been waiting my entire life to see a quality print of this film. Also, it's a legitimate Beatles theattrical feature film release from the good ol' days so even if you and me and Tom, Dick and Harold don't dig it, the people of the future will most definitely appreciate it - especially students of 20th century film, The Beatles and 21st century AI remixing techniques.
Looks like youre finally going to get yiur wish anf hsve copy that not only soubds great but looks great too.
Great news Tone and great video as always...my only copy is the one i recorded on VHS in the early 80s from italian TV ... so hope for a dvd/bluray release... a box set with the original book would be fantastic for me...let's cross the fingers...Cheers Tone and all the best from Italy
Thanks very much Rob. My only copy is a vhs recorded from TV so I’m with you on this
I always wondered what was the original rooftop setlist, considering the concert was cut short by the police. Hard to believe what we saw is what they planned.
That is a very good point Rich. Because there are two takes of each song and 3 of Get Back i akways presumed that was the entire set and i think it probably was otherwise thrre sould have been at least one take of any other songs planned.
Thanks for the update. I’ve been watching bootleg copies of this movie for years and unfortunately have become a tad bitter. But that’s me. Happy to those excited about this release. Maybe now they can focus on the Rubber Soul box. Now back to the Winter of Discontent. Peace and love. J
You're welcome . Maybe seeing it in glorious UHD and pristine sound will float the bitterness away
I stand corrected! My comment on your video from yesterday was my first thoughts about this picture... and now I am going to sit down again ;)
😂😂 no worries buddy
First the eclipse and now this. What's going on ? Beyond expectations would be if it had a commentary track with both Ringo and Paul discussing the film together side by side as it unfolds. But the planets would all have to be aligned for that to happen I fear. Very gear !
I understand that Peter Jackson and Michael Lindsay Hogg have done a commentary
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannelWOW ! If it is going to air for people that subscribe to that particular facility soon, just how do they get to hear the commentary ? Can you do that on your subscription ? Plus, since it has been divulged that it does have a commentary track, that means in the near future it will be for sale online and over the counter too, so people viewing at home at their own discrection can view it while listening to the commentary.
So the commentary has been recorded presumably to be included as a bonus feature on a dvd or blu-ray when that is released. You wont be able to see it on disney streaming
One thing I remember watching which is on the Beatles anthology documentary there’s a scene where Paul McCartney and George Harrison are having a heated argument in regards to the song two of us were Paul McCartney doesn’t want George to play in that scene. I’m looking forward to getting the DVD being someone who loves physical media anyway. I might watch it on Disney+ either way I am very excited about it the album is really good let it be it’s one of my favorite albums.
About time!
Exactly!!
Yea, George and Paul have a high-definition row! I'll wait for the scenes to be posted by pirates on youtube, thanks.
Erm that kind of defeats the object 😂 ( have a little think about it) but for being a nob publicly and in high definition, thanks
Superb news Tone. Roll on 8th May. Thank you again.
Some good news after a rubbish day at work.
Glad to have cheered your day up Jim. Haveca great evening
I love the news and I'll be signing up with Dismal-Pus yet again on the first of May. It'll be a grand ceremony - I'll play a recording of the Bee Gees' "First of May" as I renew my now-cancelled subscription. Glorious, Anthony, just glorious.
😂😂 Dismal -Pus. Im nicking that. I’ll be foing the same and thank you
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel By all means, I'm glad you like the phrase. Also "First of May" is a gorgeous song. I've loved it since I was 11.
@@farrellmcnulty909 Im not familiar. Will have a listen
"At Last" indeed! It's great news and will be fascinating to see. As with many older people (though this seems to apply to Beatles fans of all ages) I want a physical copy on Blu-ray. I imagine Disney+ will make a big deal of it streaming exclusively there and we'll see, as you say, a physical release a few months later.... probably in time for Christmas. Cynical? Me? 😉
I think maybe by August it will be out on blu-ray Alan - hopefully anyway. The Get Back blu-ray came out 3 months after the streaming so I expect something similar for Let it Be
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Yes, that would make sense. The last sentence on The Beatles website does 'suggest' a physical release... '“Let It Be” will debut exclusively on Disney+ May 8, 2024'. Note the word, "debut".
@@AlanJones1 yes good spot
Like you I would like a physical copy, but I make you right with one being available 3 months or so later ( won’t impact any other planned releases near Xmas) loved get back but still remember going to see the original let it be when it was released and that’s what I want.
By the way, well done getting video up so quickly.
Trying my best Peter
That seems the mostly scenario Peter. Ive inly seen Let it Be on TV
All we need now are the 1960s cartoons, and then we'll be satisfied.
I can probably cope without them Doc if im honest
You already can get them on line, I have seen them for sale.
Exciting news!! :)
Yes it is
I seen let it be when it first came out to the theaters. But it was also released. On video cassette and video disc in the 80s so it has been on media
Yes.
Hi Tone - your detective work yesterday was excellent!!!! At the beginning of Disney's announcement, they wrote, "This is the first time the film is available in over 50 years." That, of course, is inaccurate! (that would mean that the LET IT BE movie hasn't been available since 1974 or prior) The LET IT BE movie was issued on Betamax tape, VHS tape, and, LaserDisc in the early 1980s. I bought the latter in 1982/83 and it is copyrighted 1981. So, if they had written, ""This is the first time the film is available in over 40 years." I wouldn't feel obligated to point out their mistake. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to seeing LET IT BE on May 8 and will buy a copy if it's released on Blu-Ray. Mike
Thanks very much Mike. I didn't know it got those releases in the 80s, Ive never seen a legit let it Be. I had a VHS that I recorded from TV for years - no idea where it is now
I sure hope Let It be gets the Blu Ray treatment.
I look forward to the original version, the other is great, but goes on a long time..which I love. The original though I love because that is what I saw in 1970 at the theater, and later there was a showing in 1977 with Woodstock, and Let it Be back to back..that was great.
Let it Be and Woodstock on the same bill sounds like a great night out at the cinema Robert
👍👍😎✌️🤟 Love it, want more!
Hello Beatle Tone, well well this is Great News!!! I’m very Excited to hear this is going to happen. I think it will be a Great bookend to GET BACK. And I hope that there will be a blu Rey with extras we will see…. Thanks for the Great video Take care!!
You’re welcom Joseph and i agree with everything you say here my friend
Incase you don't know folks; Giles Martin and Lindsay-Hogg have both recorded commentaries for a potential blu-Raymond release of Let It Be. The commentary was recorded earlier this year in Soho.
Is it Giles Martin Steve? I thought it was Peter Jackson and MLH
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel You're right of course! My mistake Chief.
@@MsSteve70 no problem
Hi mate At Last!!!!!!!! Soon we will be ale to ditch our Bootleg Copys!!
Indeed Mike
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also Thursday is my dad birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you Amina. Happy Birthday to your dad
Why are we getting Let it Be on Disney+ and not Help or Yellow Submarine or Magical Mystery Tour? None of them are currently available on any streaming service or video rental platform outside of Apple TV.
I dont know. A possible reason might be that all the other films are available to buy on physical media
I hope the restored Let it be gets a Blu ray release in the future If not that could it be included as part of a re-release of the get back documentary with a decent extras package
Im sure there will be Ben . Similar situation to Get Back
Hi Tone, thanks for sharing the news. After seeing and buying Get Back, I've been of the view that the LIB movie has been made somewhat redundant. However I take your point about the missing full versions of the 3 songs filmed the day after the rooftop concert so it will be worth having for those alone. Them being truncated during the end credits of Get Back was probably the only real disappointment about the otherwise excellent doco series. Like all Beatles tragics I'll look forward to seeing it cleaned up and sounding better. I'll likely plump for any 'super duper whiz bang deluxe version' of the Blu-ray should it appear. Cheers mate 😊😉
Hi Peter , yes definitely some wins for let it be over Get Back but generally get back is far superior. Still we will look forward to this release Im sure
Wouldn't also be a great time for Apple to re-release the expensive, rare, hard-to-find LET IT BE...NAKED album and also release the streaming official concert album GET BACK (THE ROOFTOP PERFORMANCE) onto vinyl records at this same time when they probably will release LET IT BE onto disc?
Its always a good time to re-release Let it Be... Naked on vinyl Scott. The price is astronomical
Great news… not too long to wait. Hopefully the 4K or Blu-Ray will follow like Get Back. Will be great to see the full songs as featured in Let It Be. Love Get Back but was a wee bit disappointing when songs were edited. Last saw Let It Be when broadcast on BBC at Christmas 1979. It’s been a long wait!
I think it was last on the BBC in December 1980 for the wrong reasons ( as a tribute to John Lennon )
@@BeatleJohn813 They showed Help! on BBC1 on that awful day in December’80 and on Newsnight on BBC2 they showed the promo film of Strawberry Fields Forever, in colour for the first time on British television. It’s weird after all these years but just thinking of that awful day brought a tear to my eye.
That has been a long wait Andy. I had a VHS that I recorded off the TV that very xmas for years. No idea where it is now.
I remember watching Help on Dec 8 1980. I Didnt laugh once during it
I'm pleased to say I was at the cinema the first day it was released at the cinema
Nice Graham
I got a dvd copy of “Let it Be” many, many years ago. Think it was from USA. Look forward to a Jackson restored version.
Yes it should look and sound fantastic restored and pristine
Looking forward to this Tone it’s essential viewing..The old picture quality is so poor..this will be great..
I don’t think things were as bleak as let it be portrays but I also don’t think it was a happy camp like get back shows! Thanks Tone
Yeah me too Martin, havent seen it for years. Somewhere in between is probably about right I reckon. Moments of both bleakness and joy.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel some were underwhelmed by get back..
Given how poor the picture was of let it be and the narrative Lindsay Hogg took it blew me away..the best thing I’ve ever seen on the Beatles! Nothing gave us more of an insight in to how the magic was made.
@@martinmcgrath1985 Best thing Ive ever seen on them as well. My favourite moment is still that moment when we see them great get back out of thin air
Great news!
Indeed
Aren't the potential Let It Be 'extras' already available in the 'Get Back' series? 🤔
Not really. There is a wealth of material not in Get Back and theres also the Michael Lindsay-Hogg and Peter Jackson commentary which was recorded last year as a nailed on bonus Russ
It is good news but any physical release should include massively improved audio and ideally should be released on Blu-ray 4K with Dolby Atmos. I would still like an expanded version of Get Back film.
Thanks for the update - I am relieved that it is still an Apple 🍏 production, rather than a mouse 🐭
Totally agree with you
Like most have said already - let's hope for a physical release as well. Wasted til recently that I finally got the bluray of "Get Back." I'm just not doing the Disney thing. I think it's a necessary thing that "Let It Be" gets released, as it's an official Beatles film. For historical sake if not for enjoyment sake. Perhaps a bluray release of "Let It Be" will also give us the bonus we wanted from "Get back" - as the original film was Hogg's material. I too am looking forward to seeing the differences in the 2 projects. But - YES - bonus material would be an added treasure. Perhaps the entire rooftop performances uncut with any of those people on the street. Or a physical release of the performance. All that's up to the people behind the wheel - but we can hope can't we. Thabnx for the news. Always nice to watch your posts. Until next time, take care, my friend.
Thanks very much glad you liked the video. I agree with everything you say here. I think the blu-ray will be with us by August but I will still re-subscribe to Disney for 1 month to watch this in May. Its only about 6 or 7 pounds whihc is less than 2 pints in London so Im in
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel 2 pints is a heavy price in some parts of Texas. Might just want to reboot my VCR...LOL. Since I've made it along this far - let's hope for the best with a physical release by year's end. Take care, my friend.
@@kincaide67 haha yes, I was talking beer rather than oil lol. All the best mate
Why wasn't Let It Be released on blu-ray first (to coincide with the 50th anniv) with Get Back coming later? But I will ever understand why Get Back & now Let It Be were not given cinematic releases. One can only hope Let It Be will be released on dvd etc for the Christmass 2024 market.
I dont know either David
I am very excited about the Beatles let it be film coming out I’m waiting for the physical release SuperDeluxe DVD box set to come out I can’t wait to get it but I will do is get both get back and let it be DVD sets it would be fun to compare the two versions of it.
Yes they compliment each other
I am glad it's coming out, but it's little like watching your parents fight, when we'd rather think of happier times days out and gre
As a historical piece it needs to be accompanied by some extra footage. I like the poster and lobby card ideas. Be great to have any trailers for cinema, TV and radio included. I am hoping they do something special for AHDN this year as 60 years on. That movie set a new level for 'pop' films as the cliff Richard and elvis ones were well tired by then. Cheers Tone, nice one
I always thought the fighting thing was a bit over-egged to be honest Rich. Its really only the Paul/George thing on Ive got a feeling i think. Everything else is a bit something and nothing. Agree about AHDN
I hope we just get a lovely clean presentation of the film like we had with the Get Back clip on 1+, but I fear that we're going to get Peter Jackson's wax Beatles again.
Wax?
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel yeah, the Madame Tussauds effect from the excessive digital noise reduction.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel just seen this quote from Michael Lindsay-Hogg, which gives me hope: "“It looks now like it was intended to look in 1969 or 1970, although at my request, Peter did give it a more filmic look than “Get Back,” which had a slightly more modern and digital look.”"
Hopefully will get a Blu-ray and DVD release later. Looks like I'll have to subscribe to Disney+ for a one month 😅
Thats what i’m gonna do too Keith
It was available before on beta vhs and laser disc.
Not much use the majority now then 😂
Hopefully the leftover hours of Get Back footage and complete Rooftop Performance will be included as a bonus. Blu-ray is a must. I want to OWN the best quality available, not RENT it.
Im certain there will a blu-ray however i guess we’ll have wait and see if we get any bonus material . Lets hope so
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I can’t see just a 1 disc release. Doesn’t drain my wallet as well.
@@ricknorris1466 Let's hope not Rick

I was lucky enough to see Let it be in the cinema May 1970. The Beatles had officially broken up little over a month before. I have only seen the film a couple of times since. As you said in the video to me in 1970 it was very dark and depressing. I for one am not bothered about a physical copy of the film. I am more concerned that Apple do not own the rights to A Hard Day’s Night movie and you can no longer stream it in the UK. The film is now owned by Turner , Warner in the States. I shall watch Let It Be when it becomes available.
I can understand that it must have been depressing watching LIB at the cinema in May 1970. I dint know that about A Hard Days Night. There is a DVD of it out though if you feel the need to watch it again
Good man
Thank you
So what is this exactly, is it just restored footage of them playing songs or what ? Is it gonna be similar to get back ?
Similar but not the same . let it be is footage of the band making an album, so yes just playing songs - there is no plot
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel thanks, that's good enough for me. I was just confused because it's being called a movie. I will certainly be watching it though
@@34barren no problem
It’s a restored version of the 1970 theatrical released movie Let It Be. The editing, timing and sequencing will be identical - but it will look and sound better.
@beatleytonesbeatleschannel just watched it with a few g&ts it was fantastic
I don't think Peter Jackson should be blamed for the delays between numbers during the rooftop performance. Don't get me wrong - the original release keeps things moving during that segment. Unless you were there in the London streets that afternoon I think it's safe to say the Beatles themselves were responsible for them. I also agree with you that it'll be great to see the January 31st performances restored - something I wish had been included in "Get Back" aside from those outtakes.
I suspect those Jan 31 performances are included in PJ’s 18 hour directors cut that i guess we’ll never get to see Peter
If there are no substantial extras included, I don't see the point of this.
I do explain in the video why both Let it Be and Get Back are relevant/necessary
I subscribed to Disney to watch the Get Back documentary but I’m not subscribing again for this I have a good quality DVD of the movie and it will probably get released eventually on physical media
Yes it will definitely have a physical release but Im still going to resubscribe to Disney for 1 month and then cancel. Cost £6 - you cant even buy 2 pints for that these days - bargain !
Disney will base the decision on the amount of streams this gets, which is too bad because I think that new Beatle fans are just going to criticize it comparing it to Get Back. It really isn't a great film by any means. I love The Beatles and have since I was four in 1968. I didn't see Let it Be in the theater but watched it when it came out on VHS.
I doubt Disney will have any say in when the Blu-ray comes out as the film is owned by Apple Corps , so unless Apple have given away conditions in their contract with Disney, Apple should have the right to put out the blu-ray whenever they like.
I’m not super excited for this release. Ever since the Get Back documentary it kind of blew the original Let It Be film out of the water for me. The only thing I would say is we will get the three tracks at the end of the movie the day after the rooftop performance….Let It Be, The Long And Winding Road and Two Of Us. These weren’t included at the end of the Get Back documentary which really disappointed me. This alone will make it worthy.
I agree . get Back is far superior but like you say , those 3 performances plus things like Suzi Parker and a less interrupted rooftop concert make let it be something to get excited about for me
Me too!
Although I am grateful to MLH for getting the footage, I think his edit of the movie, did The Beatles a huge dis-service. There's none of the fun that we saw in Get Back, he was pissed off that he didn't get the big finish he was looking for. The truth is, the finish was magnificent and he didn't get it.
I agree that Let it Be doesnt tell the true story of January 1969 but there is loads of great footage in LIB that is not in Get Back and that is why we need both.
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I'm just watching the original Let It Be now. What on earth was MLH thinking? - It's like they are working in the dark and only have candles! He really did do them dis-service. It's also clear that he regarded himself as working for Paul, rather than the whole band. It will be interesting to see what Peter Jackson can do with it?
@@robinfoster7597 I dont think he regarded he was working for Paul, it was just that Paul had the most to say about everything as the other 3 weren't really interested in the project
Don’t care the get back documentary a couple years ago was great enough for me. This is like pretty much the same thing but a lot shorter so why would I wanna see this again
I explain why in the video Ryan
Honestly i watched but couldn’t hear cause I was in a car with loud music playing…oops😂

It seems like an odd decision to restore and re-release Lindsay-Hogg’s problematic and divisive film just after Peter Jackson went through all that monumental effort to put together Get Back, which is more comprehensive and a much more positive exploration of the recording of the Let it Be album. I was always under the impression that the Beatles themselves pretty much hated Hogg’s film.
Jackson has been completely complicit in the restoration of the film so he is on board with it. Yes Get Back is more comprehensive and upbeat but there are performances in LIB that are not in Get Back.
This was mentioned in the original publicity for Get Back several years ago so shouldn’t be surprise to anyone ( ok apart from what year it would actually happen).
I saw Let It Be in the theater age 14, and a few times rented from a library. I won't watch it again after seeing the 8 hour Get Back. it was put together poorly, and is substandard. However I hate the way the original George Martin produced Let It Be single has been buried in obscurity in favor of the Phil Spector album version, just because the guitar solo is more flamboyant and showy, and the record has choirs and strings and brass, drowning things like Billy Preston's organ and electric piano. The single is more soulful musically, gives one music that you can reflect on, and also treats the meaning of lyrics and mood of the song with respect. The Phil Spector version is a three ring musical circus created by Spector to show off. In three words, over the top. in two words a "sh*t show."
Must admit I much prefer the Spector version but the single version hasnt been buried at all. It appears on the blue album and was included in the Let it Be Box set EP (remixed by Giles). Get back overall is better than Let it Be but Let it Be has many merits - more complete versions of songs, Songs performed on 31st January 1969 that weren't in get back and a much less interrupted rooftop concert
For Get Back, I rented the Disney site for a month. I watched it 3 times. But I will pass on Let It Be. True, the last 3 songs are not in Get Back, but those performances are kind of drab and tired. I would watch if I already had the streaming channel, but that extra step is enough. This is mainly being done to make Apple folks some money. Let It Be is not a good film even with sharpened images and audio because the scenes included are not that good.
Im all about the music and Let it Be os virtually all music so its my favourite Beatles film apart from Get Back. I will rent for 1 month to see it. Worth £6 -you cant by 2 pints of beer for that
BREAKING NEWS!!! In a desperate last-ditch effort to save its floundering streaming platform, Disney has shamelessly snatched up another bit of IP they didn't contribute to, in yet another attempt to capitalize on the nostalgia mania it has itself created by ceasing to create any new content in decades!
Whateves :-)
I suspect this was all contractually agreed with Disney several years ago and prior to Get Back being released as a restored Let It Be release was mentioned in the original Apple announcement.
I wouldn't pay Disney for anything.
Always your choice buddy
Let It Be will be too depressing for me to watch and enjoy!
Oh go on David be brave. Its all ok now 😎
Prepare to be depressed; it's not that exciting, just sad rehearsals until the rooftop performance.
Oh dear
You’ve already depressed me Steve😂
Nothing new, seen it all on Peter Jackson Get Back
but no you havent. There are many scenes/performances in Let it Be that are not in Get Back as explained in my video
Would be good news except it's on Groomer Plus. Yeah, F them.
😂
I would rather have a root canal than view this depressing mess again.
I dont believe you
Sorry my friend seems like more rip off, why wasn't all let it be material in get back included or in 12 months we get a revamped get back with some of 60 hrs of filming sorry it's being stretched to the limits need a mortgage to keep up Lennon stuff on horizon
Sorry Brian I dont know who is being ripped off here. If all the let It Be material had been in Get back everyone would have said 'Ive seen this before, Im not paying again'. Who would want that. This way we have an 80 minute film and and 8 hour film , that are completely different. What's not to like?
This was announced several years ago at the same time as Get Back.
If Disney built a Time machine & brought back John & George, & invented some potion to make Paul & Ringo young again, & gave the Fab 4 enough money to reunite for one more concert to be broadcast worldwide on Disney plus, i still would boycott it, because Disney is an evil degenerate corporation who cares nothing about the family, and even miraculously resurrectiing the Beatles can't convince me to end my lifetime Disney boycott 😂
haha are you sure?
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I can always watch it for free on CZcams. That way Disney doesn't get a penny. 😂
@@DoctorInsomnia-qw7us but not with pristine sound and vision eh
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel if I got to see a Beatles reunion for free, who cares if the sound is lousy. Was it pristine at Shea stadium in 1965? 😂
@@DoctorInsomnia-qw7us not really the same thing though is it
Wont watch it because of Disneys woke crap, but of course when it becomes available i will buy it
Your choice of course
I think its great its finally getting the remaster treatment.
Me too Ken
Great news !
It is Aaron
