- Exploring the sneak peek of the new Peter Jackson doc about The Beatles made with Let It Be-era source material. I also speculate on a potential timeline for 2020 releases, including that documentary, the restored version of the original film, and - who knows - an box set for the Let It Be album?

And as it turns out “Get Back” was pure gold. We are soooo lucky to be able to see this 8-9 hours of pure Beatles being themselves and writing songs.
I hope they release the whole 55 hours of film. Dont know what it is but I could watch these guys buttering toast.
I will watch over and over
Because they butter toast better than anyone.
Oi! Would you watch them buttering a crumpet? Would you watch them eating a skunk and kitteny pie? What about watching John and Ringo and a fat lady eat an entire swimming pool full of spaghetti and meatballs? Or would you watch them drink a grand canyon full of whale afterbirth and salt water on a 90 degree day? I would!
Yes. And I'd listen to the Beatles if they were snorting a bottle of calomine lotion mixed with Pepto Bismal, while they were making love to Melania Trump, whilst Ringo was gently but vigorously,
smacking her bum with a fresh mackerel. Would you?
I've heard all the tapes but not seen the video. Lots of funny shit in there, but also a lot that would shock the more easily offended Beatles fan.
I don't give a goddamn about the more easily offended Beatles fan, but Apple does...
Paul McCartney stated on a Howard stern podcast that the" Peter Jackson stuff is amazing "
I just heard a little part of a Howard Stern interview with Paul McCartney, and Paul gives the film a big thumbs up, saying it really does bust the myth about any kind of decaying relationship between him and John. He sounded surprised (and happy) that Peter Jackson had found so much brightness and levity buried in the forgotten footage..
I was eleven years old when the movie Let It Be came out. Both my mom and I were huge Beatles fans, as was my dad, who was a professional jazz musician. One day she surprised me with the gift of taking me to Let It Be at a movie theater. I was already familiar with Hard Day's Night, Help and Yellow Submarine, so I was definitely struck by Let It Be's dark and dreary tone (although I still loved the music).
I'm really glad Jackson, of all people, got a hold of this project. As a kid, I was also very much into King Kong, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings--and Peter Jackson keeps working his magic on some of my favorite sources of entertainment, lol.
Yes, there was bitterness at first. After all, John had lost his friend since childhood. But Paul's replacement Billy was quite talented. Eventually John appreciated that. After all, Billy had even written a book with the Beatles in 1964.
As Stu Sutcliffe said to John when he quit, you guys gonna be fine, your music are ahead of it's time.
Rest in Peace, Stu Sutcliffe... 'gone long before your time.
Stu was a sharp dude. He was also a gifted artist, and had great taste in Astrid. What a knockout!
Ya left us much too soon, Mr. Sutcliffe. 😎
Update for those who don't know: It is delayes until August 2021, and it will be called The Beatles: Get Back.
I don’t have anything interesting to say, just wanted to say the Beatles are the greatest band ever and I’m so glad this channel exists.
I got nothing to say and it’s ok...
'Nuff said.
I could say me too, but I will say I also.
So nice to hear something clean and positive in today's nasty world. The Beatles were and are still one of the good things in life one of the best things ever to have happened.
scotty Interesting you should say that. The Beatles, from January 2,1969~ January 31,1969 were a group in disharmony. George Harrison actually quit The Beatles on January 10,1969. John and Paul gave short shrift to George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", "I Me Mine" and "Let It Down"!!! George rejoined the band at Apple Studios on January 22,1969 to lay down tracks and finish the "Get Back" project. John never liked "I Me Mine" and it was never attempted much less recorded at Apple Studios.John and his girlfriend Yoko Ono were filmed, on January 8, 1969, at Twickenham Studios Waltzing to the song and was disrespectfully included in the dreadful "Let It Be" movie!!! It was recorded a year later, with George, Paul and Ringo at EMI Studios in January, 1970. " George's masterpiece "All Things Must Pass" was only uninspiringly attempted once as was "Let It Down" on January 29,1969 the day before the Apple Studios dreadful rooftop concert!!! I can't believe John would be critical of George's creations when he [John] and his obnoxious no talent girlfriend Yoko Ono were smacked out on Heroin!!! I believe John and Paul were envious of George's coming up with better material especially John who had nothing but "Don't Let Me Down" and he forgot the words to that song on the Apple rooftop concert!!! John served up the dreadful "Dig A Pony", "Dig It" and the "Everybody Had A Hard Year" as part of "I've Got A Feeling". What garbage!!! John didn't even bother to bath!!! He looks dishevelled most of time!!!
I waited excitedly for each new Beatles release in the 60’s... in the 90’s for their anthology series... and I’m excited and waiting again for these new releases! Forever a Beatles fan!
Correction : 90's Anthology
Don: Corrected, thanks!
No matter what we get of The Beatles we want more 😱
"They're not going to let it rot..."
Sneaky Rutles reference?
Maybe they’ll let it bleed...
The Pre-Fab Four
The Beatles were more like the Rutles than they would care to admit. Get up and go back home.
@@collegeman1988 But, The Beatles provided the blueprint, without that The Rutles would not have been possible, just as Oasis wouldn't exist without The Beatles.
@@jamesdunn9714 throw in 75% of band's that wouldn't exist without the Beatles - infinite masters.
Me: **just chilling and watching Beatles stuff**
Also Me: **sees this video**
Me again: “Boy what!?”
I just stumbled across your channel. I promise you That I’m very anxious to view your other treasures. Thank you for producing this type of content for what I believe is the greatest band of all time. I hope it’s a huge success for you and you continue on with the solo years. I had already started to spread the word about your channel.
All I want is OFFICIAL BLU-RAYS of their first concert at the Washington Coliseum, and of the entire rooftop concert!
It is so cool that theyre making another Beatles film! I can't wait
I'm old enuff to remember their arrival..
I went from listening to Frank Sinatra & people like Frankie Avalon straight to The Beatles.. & life was never the same..
I always loved to show my son..
"Ya see kid. This is what we were forced fed.. to listen to every day..B4 the Beatles arrived!!
No other band can be said to have "changed the world!"
& not one other band or any type of entertainer can even HOPE to have 2 of their albums be back on the charts, 50 YEARS after their original release.
We've admitted it. They're the G.O.A.T!
And I've we wondered, many times..
"How will they be remembered & conceived in another 50 years!?"
Simply Amazing...
Because I'm STILL buying LP's Books, Magazines..Toys.. ugh!!!
How do you explain to someone NOT in the know.. How you own over 500 Albums from a band who only produced, what? like 13 ..!!??
& yes that # includes Solo stuff Bootlegs & related Items..
Like George Harrison being called "Horge Garrison" & shown as a cardboard cut out cuz of contracts he was unable to use his real name & likeness. .. and "yes".. truly uly (that means it's really REALLY true) I do own over 500 LP's of Beatles solo's & related... yeah..yeah yeah (lol) some are just records produced by John or George but.. they're filed under "Beatles Related" & let's take The White Album... for instance ..
I have like 12 of them & every one is different.. ie: Top Loader, numbered, numbered starting with an "A"
, White vinyl, Imports, and I have a " 0007717" & my B-Day is 7/17.. sooo it was quite the find for me. And it was at a flea market & for the 1st time ever..I didn't argue about the price.."$8.00"..
::::;shrug::: but again..years ago when u could get records at a flea mrkt and tag sales fir a buck each.. I am SO thankful I bought everything that remotely interested me..cuz with their resurgence... I'd be paying $20/$30 for most if the ones I paid a dollar for.m
My fave!? "LET IT END" Classified as a "Bootleg" but you wouldn't know by looking at it.. cherry mint.. and you'll hate me for this.. I found it at an Estate Sale..(Years ago) and I paid $1.00 for it!! I was actually shaking when I left the house.cuz at the time I had no idea what it was.. and I only owned like 20/25 Beatles LP's at that time and had to look up the guy who produced it to find out what it was.. (long Story)
But.. I know Paul has a pile of "unreleased" stuff tucked away..
Pull it out buddy We want it all!!
Oh.. little tid-bit of nonsense..
One time a guy walked up to Sir Paul McCartney & had the nerve to say "Hey that's my stuff!" When Paul was working on releasing some tracks that were only available on Bootleg B4 he decided to have it released on real recordings.... Imagine that!?
"Hey, that's MY stuff!"
I would have loved, and laughed to read that Paul had knocked that Tool out..ya no!? But Paul..in his infinite wisdom..from what I read.. just looked at him and said "You're Stuff!!???"
And they left us all hangin.not telling us how this ended. .. "Grrr!" & "awww!"
gawd. How I STILL miss John..!!!
OK.. bragged & bored u enuff..
Gotta go to werkin..
Super-Bowl Sunday.. 2020..
As the Great Neil Young once said.& still does... :
"KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD!!"
I recall sitting in a dark theater at a matinee showing of Hogg's " Let It Be " in 1970. There weren't many in the audience and I remember feeling down and depressed at the footage shown. Jackson's re-imagining of these rehearsals will be a welcome balm to all fans. It's amazing that two generations later, these four are still winning new audiences of appreciation. They were my musical road map through the sixties. Long Live the Beatles!
Depressing footage but great story. We all have high hopes for Get Back!
so excited it’s unreal
Same !
Halloween Jack95 why
@@Meatcity-sf8fm as a Beatles fan it's something special to see/hear unearthed material. That's why
You feel like you’ve got to take the biggest whiz of your life...am I right?!
ckom0007 and it’s huge
I love the 80 minute movie. I got the dvd from ebay a couple years ago the rooftop concert is my favorite in the movie.
I hope they release the entire 53 hours movie. This will test your craziness if yoi can stand watching it straight. Non stop.
The rooftop concert may have taken place on a really dreary day, but I doubt anyone who experienced it can deny the raw energy The Beatles drove home on the rooftop that day. It was truly an epic performance!
I’m a big fan of their songs but when I rewatched the rooftop footage about a year ago I was struck by how lousy they sounded live. Very poor performance by today’s standards.
It’s the metaphorical night before Christmas, the day you’re getting a new puppy, where your parents are taking you to Disneyland, on the last ten minutes of grade 3 before summer vacation, where your getting a new bike, before coming home from Halloween and you’re about to score in the backseat of your first car...
The original Let it Be album did come in a special box set. There was a book with pictures and the dialogue from the movie. I had one but unfortunately its long gone.
Great stuff we've found here, as usual. Thanks for keeping our love for the band alive and ongoing.
Pretty exciting... Always love when new Beatles content is being released even 50 years later!
What could possibly be new?
@@Mozart1220 Lots of unreleased footage in the new documentary.
@@bholaoates1542 And new information? Nothing.
@@Mozart1220 You asked "What could possibly be new?" I pointed out there reportedly will be *new* footage, and you're complaining about "information"? I think you're taking the information age a little too seriously.
@@bholaoates1542 I think I am 60 years old and there is no more NEW Beatle MUSIC. If you are happy with new "footage" of them walking around, have a nut. Go ahead, spend $10 or more for a theater ticket.
Hi, just had to complement you on this video. Very well paced, informative and upbeat. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us...albeit, 3 years later.
Well thought out! This box set alone could house tons of outtakes and versions that we have heard on boots for years. In superb stereo quality!
Good job for keeping the interest piqued!
im just safe on the knowledge all the films and album are coming this year cant wait sooo excited
McCartney spoke to Howard Stern about the film. He is very excited about it. I am as well~
Rob/Boston
I can't wait! The last time that I saw Let It Be was on laserdisk in the 1980's. Before that, theaters used to rerun the movie almost every year during the seventies and I had the opportunity to see it several times on the big screen as it was intended.
I am so very glad that you are here, doing what you do best for us; keeping alive the backstage, private and unsung moments in history when The Beatles were there to leave their marks upon us and forever music. I saw The Beatles in New Orleans at City Park Stadium. I also was given a copy of their first U.K. album on Ver Jay Records BEFORE there was a USA release by. Record promoter who knew my Dad. But that’s another Fab 4 story... Glad you are here
Yeah, Now and Then a new Bestle song that Paul and Ringo can add touches to! Yes!
Pete Best, that was awesome!
4:32 "Let It Rot" (Rutles)
RIP, Neil Innes
.
Funny, I just watched that yesterday evening.
I think you just broke the Peter Jackson Film title
CAN'T WAIT!
Then you are a fan who will definitely lose his mind!
Thanks for another phenomenal video. I say Let It Be movie re-release AND the Giles Martin remix on May 8, 2020. Get Back, the Peter Jackson movie and accompanying book, in October.
This is perhaps the final instalment of the story of the Beatles. I fell in love with the Beatles when I was 17 and have loved them ever since. Once anyone falls for them.....it lasts forever.
I' be been listening to the Beatles for a long while now. This may be something new again.
I was brought up in a Beatles household I remember hearing Lucy in the sky of diamonds & my mind would go off in wild thoughts 💭
YES!! So excited!!
I never thought Let It Be was as bad as everybody says it was.
great album, not a bad song on it. even like "let it be" naked even better.
May '70 I was attending UT in Knoxville, we walked up r.r. tracks to town so we could smoke a couple of joints. We saw Let It Be at the Tennessee Theater. Anything with the Beatles was great, so we loved it. Now will be interesting to see if it holds up after 50 years.
An early fav of mine, enjoyed the album all the way through. 👍😊❤
@@carlschumacher3257 Yep! Thank you, Paul!
Nobody thinks Let It be is a bad album.
Haven’t heard anything about rereleasing the original “Let it Be” movie. The Peter Jackson film is a labor of love. His recently released montage shows brighter images and great sound. Can’t wait.
I've been waiting for this movie since I saw Let It Be at the midnight movies back in the late 1970s. I never thought it was as gloomy as others stated in the journalist writings. John and Paul always liked each other until Paul went the advised route from his lawyers which caused their business split by the other 3 siding with Allen Klein. We know now how right Paul was. But this movie won't rewrite history. It will tell the real history that we were denied.
You want the Beatles history ok i will give it to you- They got together got very lucky and made it big, TOO BIG so big they stopped touring, once a banbd stops touring it's over but for the Beatles it was not over yet even though they were nothing but a studio band now and only called each other up when it was time to record or a business meeting about money or a new movie they did make good albums but with no touring their manager dead John and paul drifting apart Yoko in the mix paul yelling at Ringo to play the drums right making Ringo walk away from the band " Ringo isa cool guy so he always says "I was not playing well so i thought i would quit, but he just does not want to tell the truth and say " Paul was acting like a scum bad so i just said fuck you and walk out, then George walked out then the business going wrong and John saying ok i am out then paul going to the press and telling them he quit before john could well that and 50 other things that why the broke up
Hi Lance! First-- Thanks for popping back on to clarify on the neck thing I missed noticing- Lol, but I mostly wanted to thank you for this post and for FabFourArchivist. How I've been dinking around on CZcams as long as I've been and only just now stumbled upon the doorstep here I have no idea, but as soon as I heard your opening sentences including mentioning "the world's biggest band" I knew I had found a home!
I just now subscribed and have some catching up to do on your other posts so I'll get busy. I'm ALMOST as giddy as when I became a Beatles fan in the early 70s and realized I had only listened to "A Hard Day's Night", "Introducing the Beatles", and a little while later "Revolver". "There's MORE?" I exclaimed and then my adventure with the greatest band ever was off and running.
Thanks in advance for all your hard work here.
AS for whatever becomes of the future re-releases and the new documentary, I can only quote someone who said it best-- "Having been some days in preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all!"
Cheers!
“Let It Rot” ... I see what you did there, Ron Nasty. ;)
Great news summary.
I would only add that releasing the Jackson film in May would a enable them a simultaneous blu-ray/DVD with the original LIB film/book/album in the fall as well.
Cheers...
#mrchristophertv
The final gig, free for all in town, I worked round the corner then. It is to be expected, Let It Be has to come out remastered restored. The guys were happy, having fun, it was over but like great friends, things and life changes. Only the miserable stuff was shown in the film, it went on for much longer. They were stoned, laughing, taking the piss...The rooftop gig shows it all, how happy and enthusiastic they were! A gloomy winter day, they shone stronger than the sun...I miss them, but I can listen to them forever...xx
I agree with the May release date you say... Then they can at least issue something on the anniverssary like the previous years.
But I think they will release the original Let It Be movie in the album box set in October featuring the 5.1 mixes etc either with it on the blu ray or on a 2nd blu ray disc
Great video again, thanks! I am so excited for these releases!
When I 13 in 1980, I predicted that future generations would love the Beatles. My friends thought I was crazy because it was not socially acceptable to like the Beatles if you were born after 1960.
I was about the same age and it definitely wasn’t cool to be a Beatles fan around my school mates. Even when John was murdered, there were snide remarks as to who would be upset about his death. Don’t get me wrong, comments weren’t in bad tastes about Lennon...it just wasn’t cool to be open about liking their full body of work. The Mop Top years always seemed to define The Fabs and classmate critics
90s when I got hook with The Beatles and I became a hardcore fan
@@cbennett196631 , I would have told them that their favorite bands would be working day jobs if not for The Beatles.
@@cbennett196631 who WAS cool with your friends at that time? Just curious
The kids who did listen to the Beatles ended up forming many 90s bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Oasis
I clearly remember going to the theater to see the Let It Be film when it first came out. I was way too young at the time to appreciate it and was really bored. I thought it was going to be along the lines of the earlier Beatle's movies like Hard Days Night. I have never seen the full film since then, though I have seen the rooftop scenes many times. I look forward to seeing this new release.
Such a cool story...and I believe you...its funny but I remember every movie ..good or bad.... that I saw in a theater too... thanks for sharing
videa.hu/videok/zene/beatles-1969-let-it-be-35mm-film-apple-cHPnhvzYvvGBtgVk . there you go
In May of 1970, when I was 14 years old, I came across a copy of a deluxe edition of the Let It Be album. I didn’t even know such a thing existed, so I wouldn’t have even known to look for it. Beside the record itself it came with a very glossy, and surprisingly thick book jammed with amazing photos from the sessions, many full page size. It came in a slip case for both album and book. It seemed quite expensive at the time, in the range of $12 to $15! I never knew anyone else who had one of these or had heard of it. I felt pretty lucky, until a few months later when someone stole it from me. Oh well, Let It Be.
syater that’s a hilarious punch line
The British copy of the album came in that configuration things to sell them at Tower Records in San Francisco and perhaps at any Tower Records location it's a British import
I think of important noteworthy info that you left out, was that Jackson had just recently released his impressive cleaned up, and colorized footage of his WWI documentary - _They Shall Not Grow Old_ using state-of-the-art technology and materials from the BBC and Imperial War Museum.
That finished product was amazing.
I am so happy about this can't wait Paul and I and my brother criss were always amazed at what these guys did ,with not much recording technology,,god bless them all
John and Yoko gave an interview to Playboy magazine a few months before he was killed and was published after his death. He talked about the time they were in the studio recording Get Back. He said that whenever Paul sang "get back to where you once belonged" he would always look over at Yoko. Lennon also said that Paul would probably say that I was being paranoid.
Had this on dvd for about 20 years
Villaboy Uh no, you haven’t. You had the original cut. This is a reworking of the old footage.
@@thefonzkiss Uh, yes he did. They are also re-releasing the restored original film genius. Did you even watch the video?
I would watch all of it!
Attended the Premier on its original release in Pershing Theather, El Paso Texas. Let it be The Film. Unforgettable.
I'm already Losing it! Hurry up and Come Out! 😍😍😍😍
Great video.
I don’t care when they release this stuff.
I’m in... on ALL OF IT.🎸✌️👍
Spent New Year back home on Merseyside at my mum's with our son and we hit the city, naturally, where we took in a superb Beatles duo in Sergeant Peppers garb close to Mathew St, who just blew us senseless! No bigger and never will be. Thanks 🎶
It makes all the sense in the world to release something on the May anniversary of the original release. I think the real goal in all this, re-writing the history of the Get Back/ Let It Be Sessions, will reveal the correct release order. I think you've got it right. They want people to buy into the "these sessions weren't as horrible and the original movie portrays them" idea so releasing the new movie in may makes sense. Fingers crossed here but i think you're onto something. Thanks!
Have you ever heard let it be "naked" it's where the take out everything that Phil Spector did leaving only the 4 Beatles and Billy Preston. It was completely remixed and remastered. I think its better than the original
As do I.
Me too.
NICE VIDEO OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE LET IT BE MOVIES AND OTHER STUFF.
If it’s anything like the Apollo 11 documentary that came out in 2019 , that used unused footage not seen, this is going to be amazing.
Peter Jackson could take my wife's childhood super 8 films and turn them into a masterpiece. We are in for a treat
let me post a question: does anybody thanks the recording artists of today (Billie Eilish, Kanye, Or any other rapper ever) will be in the news 50 years from now? Well the Beatles are!
No.
Well the beatles changed the way music was made In concert and on vinyl they worked at it for years before turning professional nowadays it's all about manufacturing wannabes who think he or she or they have talent
Result is novelty music destined to be the flavour of the year ready thrown in the delete bin or second hand store groups like Beatles zeppelin doors stones made music that would and will last forever stuff you hear nowadays is disposable junk
Regardless of what you think of the man, Kanye will definitely be talked about 50 years from now.
Eminem for sure
I doubt it very much.
Thanks for the info brotha. Let it be era was my favorite. Loved the idea of a mature With the Beatles style album. Love let it be naked. Looking forward to more let it be/get back perspectives + content.
Yeah, really wish they would’ve stuck with that “stripped down” intent for the final album. The Naked disc is great though.
@@FabFourArchivist whos idea was it for let it be to go to Spector before release? Spectors stuff is kinda hit or miss to me despite his early success. His stuff with John was great. John's said Spector was given poo poo to turn into gold, so to speak, about let it be. But fly on the wall sounds good, naked sounds good. Maybe it was just a misfire. I also didn't like Spectors work on end of the century by the ramones. From my limited view it seems like Spector doesn't get some aspects of recording/mixing bands. Seems like he works better with individual artists who have a supporting cast. He does better bringing one artist to the front of the song and putting everything else behind and around it like a green screen. But he fails to make bands sound like a 3d living thing where within a song different elements can become prominent n then fade into the background or overall makeup of the song again. I can see how he'd work well with a simple rocker like John but not the dynamic Beatles and Billy Preston. Spector was in over his wig. Was glynn John's also part of it in some way? Damn too many questions..
My guess is that the Peter Jackson film will come out in October, since the companion book for is is scheduled then. And the 50th Let It Be box set and film this May. That is what I'm hoping.
By the way, I saw the film when it was originally released in theaters, and several times since. It gets a bad rap. There are only two places where there is bickering. Furthermore, it is not supposed to be another Hard Days Night or Help. It is perhaps the first of "The making of ..." documentaries. It shows them candidly. It is more "reality" than so-called reality TV.
My thinking as well. Makes sense to do it this way.
LiB the doc has become an important historical film, and will be even more glorious in restored sight and sound. Woo-Hoo!
I find it plodding, dull, and overall unwatchable except for small moments.
@@Mozart1220 Me too
Looking forward to it always thought I've got a feeling is underrated but the whole thing will be amazing
I can't wait for this doc....a few days before my birthday!
Excellent. Bring it on!
I can’t wait to see it 💙
I CAN'T WAIT!
Be nice if they release the unedited rooftop performance as a bonus feature on the blu ray?!?
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
Agreed. The man-on-the-street interviews that interrupt a couple songs during the rooftop concert are terribly annoying (and unnecessary). And, the rooftop concert was a little longer than the version in the film.
Double even! :) Only 21 minutes of the concert made it into the final Let It Be film, from the 42-minute actual performance. They performed: “One After 909,” two complete versions each of “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Dig a Pony” and “I’ve Got a Feeling,” and three versions of “Get Back” - plus various incomplete takes, including a line from the Irish folk song “Danny Boy”, a few bars of “I Want You,” a few lines from the Irving Berlin chestnut “A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody” and a complete instrumental version of “God Save the Queen,” played while engineer Alan Parsons changed tape reels.
The OBViOUS Channel you know Apple will never put that out in its entirety. They are already authorizing a retelling version. Why release the complete rooftop with the flubs and mistakes ? It seems they will be putting the Beatles with their best faces on.
13THBEATLE ... well one could say that “putting the Beatles best face forward” is actually Apple’s job. 😏🍏
OMG are we FINALLY gonna get the full, UNCUT rooftop concert??? Fans have been asking for this for fucking decades.
Didn't see any comments mentioning the "lock down" we're all living with right now. This has to affect the release dates, so why isn't it being discussed?
Early Cuyler As both Paul referenced in the Stern interview -release date of the film is up in the air as all of the stakeholders must be able to coordinate personnel,working on it safely, with marketing factors included in the decision-making and planning influenced by other product release schedules.
George Harrison was one of the producers of the 'Let it Be' film!
55-hours we want this out entireny
Can't wait to see it.
I agree with your timetable. Makes sense. I can't wait and yes I will lose my mind of the Peter Jackson film. I hope it's 8 hours long!
Ha! That would be amazing!
Did anyone familiar with the Rutles, catch the unintentional 'Let it Rot' comment!?
Unintentional? 🤨
Yup!
How do you know it was "unintentional", larry?
That wasn't in the least unintentional. I've never yet met a Beatles fan who didn't love the Rutles.
Glyn Johns on the Fabfourum SiriusXM Beatles Channel said he’s been approached has been in talks with Apple, but thought there might not even be a box set since we already have LET IT BE NAKED. However, I cannot imagine there not being a physical release at some point. Also, I heard the original (upgraded) LET IT BE movie would be included with the new film when the DVD/Blu-ray is eventually released. 🍏
cant wait to see the restored movie in it's entirety..
I'm sure the new film will offer a more balanced view of the 'Get Back' sessions than the original version.
I doubt they will attempt to rewrite history and brush off the obvious tensions that existed.
However, I think the original release was focused too much on the negatives to fit with the narrative of a band that was breaking up.
Looking forward to seeing it.
Let's hope they will re-issue the original movie as well, restored. And the new Peter Jackson movie.
And hopefully a 50th Anniversary box set with vinyls, cd's and book.
And then we get the Get Back book in October, as announced.
I'm looking forward to it but what makes you think they will not brush off some of the tensions? The whole point of this venture is that The remaining Beatles never wanted the original re-released because it was a tense time. "The most badly recorded shit with a bad vibe ever" is I think more or less how John described it. So The Beatles are on board if it has a positive vibe. That is possible because The Beatles, even in their lowest moments had a marvelous sense of humor which would always be there periodically, but will they get the balance right? The behind the scenes chat with Paul about John and Yoko when they were unaware they were being recorded, that obviously won't be there. Yoko has to sign off on it remember. I think it will probably go too far the other way and make it seem more positive than it actually was. I hope you're right though.
I am so freakin excited
I have the old grainy VHS tape and having been waiting for this to be cleaned up.
I Can't Wait !!!!
A 5 DVD set was released some years ago in the UK w/ unreleased b&w footage. . Also the Let It Be book was originally released in the UK together w/ the LP in 1970.
It’s about time that the Let It Be film gets re-released. It’s been conspicuous by its absence.
If Peter Jackson has restored things as he did with They Shall Not Grow Old, it'll be stunning. Let it be film for me would be great released with a multi CD release - Box set, 2CD with DVD etc etc...Still waiting for a restored Tragical History tour - R.I.P. Nasty.
My biggest worry is that this movie will be an over correction of the myth spun by the Beatles themselves and portray these sessions as a Disney romp in the park. It wasn't. But neither was it a complete miserable disaster. It was a mixed bag really. This may be hard to catch in a feature length. Ultimately though, with knowing the challenges they had they were amazingly productive. They made an album, rehearsed loads of stuff which would ultimately end up on Abbey Road and their own solo stuff down the road, and had the roof top concert.
Just cannot wait
Thanks for another great video. I really hope that they do release a streaming version of the new let it be documentary film. Especially since most companies are discontinuing blu-Ray hardware. I saw the original in a theater but I also bought a bootleg many years ago but the quality was no where close to the film. I really am looking forward to this release. I am getting to old to wait much longer 😀
Can't wait...
It's no secret that Let It Be was NOT the final nail in the coffin for the Beatles. Let It Be was shelved and Abbey Road was recorded AFTER the Let It Be sessions. It wasn't until after Abbey Road that Let It Be was dusted off and released. Come on man! You're supposed to be a Fab Four Archivist.
I think he means in terms of the rancor during these filmed sessions that supposedly tore them apart.
Let It Be was released after Abbey Road because Phil Spector took so long overproducing that album with so much junk Paul didn't want on his songs.
New sub! Thank you for this. I saw the original film online, but I am very curious about this...
Thanks! Yeah, should be fun to see what unfolds over the next few months.
Great presentation, this guy doesn’t add fluff or try to be a star. He gives good information efficiently.
Thanks for the encouragement, Darrin!
FabFourArchivist good job, keep it up. Thanks for all the great info.
I agree!
Groovin up slowly............
Subscribed! I’m going October for the album re-release so they double-down on Xmas sales.
Yup count me as one who lost his mind on this one....its wherever my car keys are! Lol. The sound in the trailer of Get Back was like I was in the studio sitting on an amp with YOKO. Wow
So stoked!
Back at Fab Four! The walrus.
I have the VHS & DVD of Let It Be . Can't wait for the "Official" re-release.
The restored Let it Be should be released first....and then the new footage. We have been waiting for the re-release forever and you would not BELIEVE how many people have never seen the original film.......even musicians in their 50’s and 60’s!!!
