[@Onehappyworlds]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@mauricehoulden5553]

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

[@magneto7930]

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!

[@anthonygreen7063]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

No definitely didnt make it to Dvd offically. The restoration will definitely make this worth a second look

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

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

I agree Stephen

[@craigwarner6156]

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

[@alanosterman7130]

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 !

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

I understand that Peter Jackson and Michael Lindsay Hogg have done a commentary

[@alanosterman7130]

@@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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@brettevans6823]

People will want this for the same reason that they want the original mono recordings

[@stationminute]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

hmm dont hold yer breath on that one

[@paulcassidy953]

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.

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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.

[@MikeE_Fab4]

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

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

[@karenjones8899]

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

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.

[@kincaide67]

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.

[@larshenrikfabrin7640]

Great news!

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Indeed

[@peterbadore1338]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@34barren]

So what is this exactly, is it just restored footage of them playing songs or what ? Is it gonna be similar to get back ?

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@34barren]

@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

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

@@34barren no problem

[@stevena9305]

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.

[@34barren]

@beatleytonesbeatleschannel just watched it with a few g&ts it was fantastic

[@robinfoster7597]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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.

[@robinfoster7597]

@@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?

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

@@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

[@davepounds8924]

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

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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 !

[@Hammerman48]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@stevena9305]

Me too!

[@darwinsaye]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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.

[@stevena9305]

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).

[@petermcgarrymusicandflying]

Good man

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Thank you

[@mikeciresi3697]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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.

[@Gamercube577]

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

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!

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Whateves :-)

[@stevena9305]

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.

[@MarkBarna1]

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.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@lionheartroar3104]

I wouldn't pay Disney for anything.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Always your choice buddy

[@thomastimlin1724]

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."

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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

[@rdsieben]

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

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?
