Very excited for this release!! I have had bootleg copies of this film on VHS and DVD for years. I will be ready at 12am May 8th to try to be one of the first to watch! I just hope they don’t drop it at 6am which is normally the start of the broadcast day for us in the TV biz. I will be sleeping then. Still though can’t wait for May 8th!! Wooo!!

I saw this when it was released and had a bootleg copy. Anything that gives us more beatles I am for. How could any beatles fan not want to see those songs performed? That's insane.

The main reasons the original "Let It Be" film is still necessary are: - Songs not featured in the "Get Back" documentary, like "Besame Mucho" and "You Really Got A Hold On Me". - Songs or performances which were barely featured in the "Get Back" documentary, like the three full songs from the last day, Jan. 31st. - A less interrupted, though not complete rooftop performance. - As you said, it's Beatles canon. It's one of their official films. It should be available. - It's worth checking this out for the new remastering/ restoration. By the trailers, it looks great, and less "waxy" looking than "Get Back".

Exactly right, there were many scenes and performances not in Get Back. There was a particular scene in Let it Be of the Beatles very hesitantly approaching the door to the roof; they were apprehensive up to the last minute. All of that all faded once they stepped out. We need Let it Be. The last time I saw it was at a Los Angeles Beatlefest in the 80s. I'm a gigging musician and found the banter in Get Back fascinating, but was told by non musician friends that it was boring. I didn't find it boring at all and wanted more. The 2hr Let It Be would appease the non musicians who can't appreciate the back story as much as us musicians can. Cheers. Can't wait!

Thank you for the update! I appreciate it! I used to have the VHS copy back in the day! When I had the VHS copy I was able to record it to a blank DVD, which I did and still have. I also purchased the bootleg copy from an eBay seller back in the day! I have the recently released "Get Back" film on Blu-ray and was happy to see ti was released in Dolby Atmos. I have a Klipsch 7.1 Surround Sound speaker system and the "Get Back" movie sounds awesome, but it takes all day long to watch all three discs. I hope the "Let It Be" gets released on Blu-ray in Dolby Atmos!! I hope I can purchase the "Let It Be" movie on the day of release!

For many years the one question on Beatles fans lips were "When are we going to get a dvd release of Let It Be?", and I was one of those. Then Get Back came along and we got more footage than we could ever of dreamed of and Peter Jackson teased us with the possibility of bonus material. Now the release of Let It Be seems like the consolation prize, I hope this doesn't close the book on all that film footage that exists. I hope that The Beatles and Apple aren't playing the long game, many of us won't be around for another 50 years!

I think the original LIB film helped show a glimpse into the "real" delicate balance ANY musical group goes through when ego, discomfort, Time, and lack of communication can and do affect individual members.

Would love to see the Fully restored Let it Be & Long and Winding Road film clips as I don’t think they featured in Get Back …. And hopefully any other songs that didn’t feature…possibly a more constructed I Me Mine if that exists….

Having waited decades for this release, it’s interesting how that changed last year. There’s a scene in Let It Be where Paul talks at length while John listens. The 8 hr Get Back version reveals it was a conversation but John’s bits were edited out in the original Let It Be film. I’d prefer any restored unseen footage get added to the new Get Back documentary so that it’s all there in one place and in chronological order.

Yes we need Let It Be it’s a great documentary on the sessions. Plus it will go with the Get Back documentary. I always liked the film because of the The 50’s oldies jam and the rooftop show. Plus the other 3 songs in Apple studio.i am looking forward to seeing it again. I agree with you TJR!

Hello TJR, I was stunned to find out the other day that the Peter Jackson "Get Back" documentary omitted the highlight of the whole project! Jackson did not include the recording session held at the Apple Studios Basement studio on January 31, 1969! Jackson focused on the dreadful Twickenham Studios footage! He included that obnoxious footage of Yoko Ono "performing" with John, Paul and Ringo! I was going to buy the regular DVD to see footage of Two Of Us, Let It Be and The Long And Winding Road and possibly some bonus footage. I decided not to buy it.

Very well thought out points which I totally agree with. The movie won an oscar. The only Beatles film to win one? Please correct me if I am wrong. I argued for Let It Be to be released on my channel and have had some quite horrid replies including "do we really need one more person talking about The Beatles?" despite it being clear that I deal with a wide range of subjects. Oh well that's show business.I guess.

Thanks, TJR. My own thoughts are that they stand together.. I've said this elsewhere, Get Back is, all in all, a documentary about the making of 'Let It Be'. Thus they are both valid entities.. if you watch, for example, a 'Making of Miracle on the Hudson' documentary, you wouldn't say that the film itself is now irrelevant.. Cheers

I'd love to own a cleaned up rerelease of the movie. Peter Jackson to my eyes didn't try to replace Let it be with Get Back. So I'm excited about it. It's less than 90 minutes. What's not to like!! I hope it's released on Blu-Ray

Great Video TJ, -for those who say that Let It Be is unnessarry, I think they should watch it again upon its release before reaching that conclusion and if all else, I say look at it (Let it Be) as a bonus extra to Peter Jackson's Get Back.

I think it's important to have Let It Be available because, as you say it's part of the Beatles film and music catalogue, and I personally would love to view this and Get Back side by side in the hope that the former brings context to the latter. Also I'm looking forward to seeing Let It Be restored and cleaned up, in fact I'd like to see it and the three parts of Get Back get cinema release, because to see and hear them in a cinema would be a terrific experience, not only for Beatles fans but music fans in general. Finally I do hope that like Get Back it will get a Blu-ray release, but my final question is are they going to re release the original Let It Be album again to tie in with this? I hope not as this would smack of cynical cash grabbing after the last few years releases.

I didn't like Let it Be because of the bad 'lighting' it casted on the Beatles. I didn't see it in the theaters, but I get the impression, it did not look good even then. Love the full songs, recorded the day after the rooftop. I wouldn't mind a bonus release that is just the music from the film. And CDs. This is my favorite period for the Beatles. I watched every bit of Get Back. I have a lot of the music on bootleg, but I've always said, give me an official release, and I'll buy everything again.

Let It Be is awful, and negative and now pointless.... I've had it for the past 20 years (I got a DVD on Ebay years ago). Get Back has made it superfluous, after watching Get Back I went back and watched Let It Be, it's so bad, the director took all the negative points and edited them to make them seem worse. Let It Be will come out but soon will be dismissed and the superior Get Back will be the goto movie of these sessions.
