The Beatles Get Back

[toyhunter1970]

yes im very pumped for this

[Mikey]

i have a bootleg of the original film on DVD that was copied from the VHS so the quality isn't great

I think the Select-a-Vision Video Disc was the most recent release of the original Let it BE movie

Being a Beatles-geek, i'm not afraid to admit I thought the original Let it Be movie was boring... Back in the mid-ish 80's I had the video disc and would always FF to the end roof concert

yeah, the original isn't all that great. it's just sought after because there has never been a cleaned up hidef release. i think the last official release was laser disc? or at least VHS

Jackson said he was given free reign on this project.
i also seem to recall when it was first announced, that once the new version is out they were going to release the original film as well

….. It makes Paul look like the pushy producer type that is getting on the others nerves. ...…

Very true but in retrospect it's what held the Beatles together post Sgt Pepper.

In a way I am happy that it is being extended to a multi part documentary...but part of me wanted to see this in a theater. That being said, I hope that Paul didn't do any mucking about by editing out stuff he didn't like. I had always contended that as long as Paul was still with us, you would never see a re-release of the original Let It Be film. As of now, they still haven't said if they will re-released the original film. It makes Paul look like the pushy producer type that is getting on the others nerves. The one thing I always use as an example is the scene with George during rehearsal and George says "I'll play whatever you want me to play if that pleases you or I won't play anything at all." The preview that Jackson put together last year just made me smile though. I just don't want it all to be that shiny so to speak. Because it wasn't. Also, what a lot of people need to realize is that Let It Be basically is almost 3 albums of material, The White Album / Abbey Road / Let It Be, and a lot of stuff that ended up on the 1st solo albums from 3 of the 4 soon to be ex Beatles. Early outtakes of All Things Must Pass, Jealous Guy, Teddy Boy, Junk and a few other songs. I am just curious about what kind of music package they are going to put together and how much my wallet is gonna hurt when all is said and done

I'm also looking forward to this!

[Nostalgiabuff]

me too. can't wait. even getting to see the entire roof top concert will be amazing, especially if it is as crisp and clean as they are saying it is

the teaser trailer only wet the appetite but man, i cannot wait to see this. I guess being on Disney + means there will be no Bluray release though but at least it will be on the streaming platform for a good long time

That's a great read, thanks for posting. One of the few good things to come from COVID from an entertainment point of view, is that this project was expanded from being film length to a longer 6 hour event. I'm sure Disney is going to charge some serious coin to watch it, but I'm in on day one.
