I love the 6 hours we’re getting but selfishly I want an abridged version for theaters just to see them on the big screen just once in my life.
Yeah no kiddin. We' ve been waitin for this for almost 2 years, thanks to the chinese virus. Now its only on a disney channel? WTF. Im pissed off. I was wanting to see Billy Preston jammin with the Beatles. The 5th Beatle.
I was thinking same thing before saw ur comment, that id luv to see , whatever kinda edit , for couple hrs in a real theater, then get the rest in whatever fashion it manifests -but yes, the Beatles on the big screen, I luvd the original at the theater and I was 9
@@chrisb9122 just wait til it premiers, sign up for the Disney trial, and cancel before you have to pay 🤷🏽♂️
So many Beatle channels talking about this. I'm glad to see you weigh in on the issue. You seem to give it more credibility and less bitching. You seem to take this more serious than most others. Good to hear from you again.
Thanks JT. 🙏
I'm so glad to see that you're...getting back to new videos. And digging the new Sgt. Pepper's mustache as well!
That's what I noticed at first!!
Upload A video covering the beatles Twist and shout
Hey, when are we getting a new you can’t unhear this video? I love your channel
Not the first time Peter Jackson has stretched something into a trilogy…
Bingo. 3 is his magic number.
Yes,but this is a case that I welcome a trilogy.
I don't think he stretched much for LotR, rather than it was the given structure to start with...
@@peterallman8474 The Hobbit
@@peterallman8474 it’s a joke about the hobbit trilogy lol
I wouldn't mind 6 hours in a cinema watching The Beatles.
I would welcome it! Have two well timed intermissions. I saw the Sergio Leone trilogy at the cinema, years ago, all in one day. And, it was a wonderful cinematic experience. You eat before and after. Snack in between, if needed. I realize it may not be for everone, but I certainly would want that option. Or, do the original two hours in the theater and we can buy the box set or stream the rest. Damn covid!!
Hows you're back going, they'll need a masseuse on hand at intermission.
My goodness. People sat in theaters to watch Dr. Zhivago, Ghandhi, and Laurence of Arabia. There were intermissions. What’s another 2 hours? I would have watched it for 6 hours in a theatre. Also, I wonder if something could have been worked out with PBS…Ken Burns multipart documentaries always have been well done and received on PBS. I want to see this so bad that I’ll have to figure out the Disney thing. Hate having to subscribe to them. Don’t like what’s become of Disney.
This was not The Beatles!
John Lennon was smacked out on Heroin with his wench Yoko Ono!
The Apostle of Peace and Love had already thrown his wife Cynthia, son Julian, Paul, George and Ringo under the bus for a stalker and status seeker named Yoko Ono.
Lennon was washed up offering up crap like Dig It and Dig A Pony and insisting that his mother and pariah Yoko Ono be attached to him during the sessions!
The Beatles were dead in the water!
@@raulmacias1311 Well, your comment certainly is.
Kinda was looking forward to it being in theaters. That would be a scene. Packed with Beatle fans!
Now I gotta get Disney Plus? Watching at home? Not the same experience.
I want this on DVD. Otherwise, I won't be able to see this.
There are a lot of people in your spot.
Even with piles of Mickey Mouse money thrown at them, I just can't imagine Apple Corps foregoing a physical edition. This is a "legacy" project - not just something that gets hyped... then quickly forgotten about in the depths of a streaming service's catalog.
@@FabFourArchivist i second this comment really would like this to be on blu ray or dvd (box set?) which i thought was supposed to happen around the same time as the hardcover book,will have to go the bootleg route if not going to be on a physical copy. i think this would be a huge seller!
I’m in the same boat as you. 😟
@@FabFourArchivist From your lips to God's ears, Bubby!
Me too
This would have been amazing news if the 2 hour theatrical release would still happen in August, I was very much looking forward to it...still 6 hours of remastered footage will be great!
Hey Lance! Real nice to see you again! Been waiting for some updates. Thanks!!
New to your channel and love it. I'm so glad I stumbled across it. I thought I knew a lot, but there's so much more to know. Thank you!
Outstanding coverage!
Thank ya!
I wonder how well the music audio will sound. Theatre sound systems these days are so much better than home sound systems, a big image is nice, but full range THX really loud sound is even nicer. Even if you have a nice sound system, very few of us ever get to turn it up loud without annoying someone.
I rather watch 6 hours at home than 2 hours in theathers.
I'd rather pay to see it in a theater than pay for Disney+.
@@killergoose7643 6 straight hours in a theather? or only the 2 hours version?
either way, that's dumb
@@killergoose7643 Disney+ is cheaper
It would have been nice to see a 2-hour film in the theater and THEN a 6-hour version either on TV or DVD.
@@killergoose7643 I would rather have a choice to see it in the theater or on streaming, rather than having it held hostage by Disney +. I am not giving them a penny of my money.
The next thing they should work on film-related is restoring and re-releasing the Beatles Cartoon
Would love to see that. I doubt it, though. I've heard the licensing stuff is a nightmare.
hmm, no
that cartoon is trash
@@dimitreze Hmm I understand however, you have to understand that this cartoon was an important in media history not only for Beatles fans. The series was a historical milestone as the first weekly television series to feature animated versions of real, living people.
I'd rather have a video release of Shea.
Yeah, where in the world is Shea?
Huge success - Great job Peter & co. -
What a great way to spend Thanksgiving weekend. Loved every minute! PEACE AND LOVE
I've been waiting for months for this to come out in cinemas and now it's only available on sodding Disney Plus? I feel cheated!
And that's if you can get Disney!!!
yeah its such bullshit I was hoping to see it in theaters
Theatres? Does anyone go to 5he cinema anymore?!
I guess I’ll never see it. NOT subscribing to Disney + or ANYTHING +. From cable to +? Greedy cocksuckers RUINED TV and movies.
@@jhhorvath1 pirate it
Great to see you back, Lance. I hope you are well.
Thank you for the update
Good to see you back!
Thanks for the really informative video report!
Great update, thanks!
Glad to finally see you back and weighing in on this. Love your explanations and research and insight. And your speculations as well! I am glad it has now been lengthened to 6 hrs. I would still prefer to see it first on the big screen in 2 or 3 separate showings. Hope they do that as well. Your thoughts on that possibility appreciated.
Hey Lance! Was waiting for this one to drop! Cheers! Great tache by the way! Very early 67!
We really need to know if there are any physical releases soon. I am sure there will be but who knows.
Hopefully no silly uber box sets though!
Great update!
It's largely good news, but I'm not wild about having to pay for yet another streaming service just to see it.
You can cancel after a month with no penalty. $7 to see this as many times as I want over 30 days - I’ll gladly do that.
But you’d have paid to get to a theatre, paid for admission, bought some popcorn and cola, and paid to get home. $30?
@@paulphillips9114 I don't eat popcorn or drink cola. And it would cost pennies to drive to the theater and back. But given that the pandemic is so bad, maybe staying home is the best option. I just hate having all these damned monthly services, because the corporations are nickle-and-diming us to death.
I just want to see the scene where Yoko sits on Paul McCartney's amp.
It wasn't George's?
Mary Wealth no, Paul was on the Howard Stern show and said it was his.
@@marywealth6475 you might be thinking of her eating George's biscuits.
I'd rather see the scene where Paul kicks Yoko off his amp.

So Disney have got their claws into The Beatles? Kill me now.
Shut up
Pretty exciting stuff! Cannot wait!!!!
Great video! Well done.
Glad to see you back. Thanks for the update on the Get Back movie. Cannot wait till it is released. I do hope that they allow the purchase of the streaming version since I got rid of most of my Blu-ray media.
Ah, the voice of reason tinged with optimism - I'm very happy to see that you've chimed in on this issue and overall, it's great to see a video from you again!
Congrats Disney. You even got your hooks in the Beatles.
screw disney! disney's one of the biggest criminal organizations on the damned planet. screw peter jackson. this project should've been handed to an unknown; A TRUE FAN! aren't these people rich enough? mccartney's a damned billionaire already.
HERE'S AN IDEA! how about producing a series of three 2 hour films, each put together by a different UNKNOWN and UNRICH FAN! release them at NO CHARGE through an internationally accessible outlet like youtube to view and download at will! let's call it a THANK YOU to beatles fans of all ages around the world - FOR MAKING THEM RICHER THAN GOD!
now that's an idea I CAN APPRECIATE!
Disney is awful. For decades, they made middling, saccharine garbage, and raked in piles of cash because it was all so inoffensively appealing to uncritical consumers too easily willing to part with their money, and charged three times what the competition charges for their second-rate fare. And when they scratch together enough cash from getting families to stay within their parks for all-inclusive vacations, to pay too much for DVDs and to pay even more for their streaming service and downloads (which used to be a standard cable channel included in the basic package but now in some cases is the only way to get content you might have once enjoyed on other platforms), they purchase things that someone else made with far superior talent and attention to the craft. Almost immediately, they ruined Marvel and Star Wars, filling the story lines with "woke" nonsense and, especially in the case of the latter, destroying beloved characters and once-excellent story arcs. I wonder if they do this on purpose, out of spite for the far superior story creations of other writers, or if it's all a glaring example of their sheer incompetence and the inevitable result is more saccharine fare.
The Beatles are the Star Wars of music, it makes sense & they might have got a 2 for 1 deal. I plan on doing a trial sub & cancelling right after I watch
Looking forward to this very very much!
Thamk you so much for that info.
Although its great to have 6 hours of Peter Jackson's Get Back, I also feel that the 2 hour version SHOULD be released on August 27th, Movie theaters are hurting and need new releases to be shown on the big screen, In some ways I feel Disney is shooting themselves in the foot by not showing this first in theaters and then showing the 6 Hour version on Disney plus.

"I'm sick and tired of seeing things
from Disney-fied, sanitised, mommy's little story-tellers
All I want is the truth.
Just gimme some truth."
--John Lennon, (paraphrased)
That's the problem for me too. For it to go onto Disney, their lifestyle at that time is going to have to be HIGHLY sanitised and censored to the hilt. I could only imagine it would be worse if Disney had the rights to the Guns 'n' Roses story, as The Beatles were thoroughly enjoying everything life had to offer at the time this film is based. Whacky mismatch from a business perspective, in my opinion.
Yup...Dirk McQuickly handling the Beatles legacy has been a disaster . Even the Anthology kind of sucked because of the vanilla re-flavoring

Happy New Year....hope you have a great Birthday 🕉🍏
I'm a Beatle freak, but am sick and tired of paying extra for a channel. I want the theater!
Amen to that. Greedy bastards. Gods got a special place for greedy ceo's.
I just want the BluRay/BluRays !! Screw Disney....what do they have to do with any of this....
You can sign up for a free trial
I hate the Disney+ part too, but to be fair, a 1 month unlimited Disney+ subscription is probably cheaper than a singular theatre ticket, and you can cancel anytime without penalty.
I'm just a new generation fan of The Beatles and I can't wait to see it. I wished it had been released in movie theatres would have been great to see it with other Beatles fans but I'm just happy to be "there" for something "new" that even old fans might have seen.
Great update.. can’t wait for the physical release, there’s no way it won’t come out on Blu-ray .. we’ll that’s what I hope anyway 😎✌️❤️🇦🇺
Nice posting.... Beatles Forever!!! ✌
Ucchh if it's on Disney Plus, I am boycotting it. I wouldn't watch that channel if they paid me to.
100%, disney is a horrible company i’d never support them in any way, really bums me out disney is involved
You're not alone here. I think a lot of folks will just sign up to binge it, then quit after the first month. To those who won't or can't (Disney+ isn't available in all countries), hopefully a physical release isn't too far behind!
Same here but in my case boycotting doesn't mean "not watching it" - ifyougetwhatimean
I'm afraid he's right about that. Disney should be boycotted into oblivion.
Great stuff.
Super excited about the 6-hour version. I know I'll love every frame of it. And, sometimes less is more. For the sake of repeat viewings, I hope we eventually also get that edited tight 2- hour version. And yes, it's very important to me to be able to own it all some day. I'd pay a lot for a boxset that contained everything.
I’ll freak out with joy if this appears this fall on blu ray! It needs to be archived forever on blu ray!! Can’t wait!
I was looking forward to seeing it in a movie theater this Summer with other Beatles fans.
Yo great video. Really well done. Very excited for the film ❤️
3 films*
Thanks man. Yeah, it should be awesome!
I gotta wonder, though, how many non-diehard fans will make it through all six hours. That's a pretty serious commitment considering the January '69 era.
@@FabFourArchivist Very true. I’m glad they are doing the 6 hours and targeting die hard beatles fans as it would’ve been very easy for them to do the 1 film and appeal to the mass audience. Think there’s a lot of us who would watch every second of a weeks worth of footage
Great point. In a lot of ways, this feels like the antithesis of the Eight Days a Week film. It’s clearly targeted at serious fans (which is why I am blown away that so many people are whining. We just got four more hours!)
Excellent rational and concise analysis. I agree with everything you said.
im still mega excited we are now getting 6hrs !! BUMMER we have to wait until Nov
My thoughts exactly!
Anyway we can watch this on demand and not having to pay for a Disney plus subscription?
I hear its only at present only going to be on Disney +
Has anyone heard if they are finally getting around to releasing the restored Shea stadium concert on Blu Ray or 4k?
I made a huge mistake when Eight Days a Week came out, found out it had been showing at a theater about a hour away, and said, "Eh, I'm busy-I'll go next week..." and the run ended after two weeks. I found out later that the whole concert was up in the theaters, and that was it...
Has anyone seen any decent quality footage, with acceptable sound from that show? I certainly haven't.
Not so sure a Shea Stadium concert Blu-Ray would be that successful. Would it not look old-hat now? Then again, i could well be wrong.
I’m a conflicted on this. The big cons for me are that I won’t be able to see this at a movie theater and I’m not sure if they’ll do a home release now, though chances are good. Also will there be profanity or will it be cut out? But I do love that we’re getting six hours, that almost makes up for everything. My long shot dream is for Jackson to release a giant 60 hour extended cut but that almost sounds like fantasy
I WANT THE BIG SCREEN & AUDIO !
Hello Lance, thank you very much for putting all of this news information into a very nice extended look. I've seen the website annoucement and read some of the press but hearing and seeing your News answers many questions otherwise left to hang. Something that I think maybe worth mentioning is the Disney end of things as Bob Iger as the CEO of the company. Bob has noted that he is a huge Beatles fan. Also a fact that is worth mentioning is that ABC TV is part of the Disney umbrella. So, Bob I think may have been involved with the Shea stadium portions of the touring years DVD that Ron Howard put out. And don't forget, that Anthology was also on ABC. So you have the Shea stadium concert which was part of ABC's broadcast, the Anthology series on ABC TV and now there is the get back project which will be on Disney Plus. So Disney owns pretty much all of these TV performances and special shows that have been on ABC TV in the past. The Thanksgiving point of the release date for the get back project is pretty much a duplication of what they did for the Anthology isn't it? And now with ABC broadcast TV being an underdog in the streaming world, Disney Plus is the definite preferred channel for Disney to present it on. Bob Iger is from ABC in New York where he was the president from 1994 to 1995 and Disney then acquired ABC in 1996. He definitely saw the impact the Anthology made. Being both a fan, a business man and a big wheel at Disney he surely spearheaded this Get Back project for Disney. I wonder who was involved in the decision-making to have The Beatles' Shea stadium broadcast be on ABC TV. Maybe Bob was a fan back then, too. Born in February 1951 makes him a prime age candidate for fanboy status. Michael Eisner, was hired by ABC as Assistant to the National Programming Director. He is the former Chairman and CEO of Disney. So seems there IS some connection in this strange triangle between The Beatles, ABC TV and Disney. Personally, I'm waiting for the media deluxe package. I don't care for Disney programming. Maybe they could make a Beatles attraction as part of EPCOT England, I'd go see that!
I hope GB will be on Blu-ray, please keep us informed if it's confirmed from Apple Corp, Thanks.
They should release all 60 hrs with a included film editor and let fans make thier own film. wouldnt that be cool as hell. wat u think
Or just watch the whole 60 hours since it’s probably more interesting and honest that way.
Sounds boring as crap. Thank God Jackson went in and got the better stuff.
I agree - release the whole 60 hours with film editor (nice idea!), in addition to PJ's briefer, professionally edited version - 'The Gist' for those with less time, money and/or interest in Beatle archives. Anyone can then challenge or complement his view with their own edit. Fans can also make their own mini-videos of their personal favourite moments, or on different themes (eg Beatles dancing/clowning, George and Ringo, Paul and John, John and Yoko, funny bits, best unused takes, awkward moments, etc, etc).
I don't know how I feel about this, but it might mean that it is more accessible to everyone which is great! Hope Disney+ gets to my country by then otherwise I will be one sad Beatlemaniac.
Disney+ has over 100 million subscribers. Huge numbers for a service that's only a few years old! So, yes, this is great for accessibility (and maybe helping foster new fans)... except where you can't even get the service if you want it. :( Sorry.
Where do you live? I looked at the country list of where it *is* currently available, and it was pretty extensive.
@@FabFourArchivist Well, I don’t have Disney Channel because I live on a fixed income and can’t afford it, so I am hugely disappointed.
@@FabFourArchivist I don't care about 100 million subscribers. I've been a Beatles fan for decades and I'm not willing to subscribe to anything and pay American kitsch dream moguls for getting access to Beatles music. The Beatles united people all over the world in a movement of joy and hope and enthusiasm. You didn't have to 'qualify' for Beatlemania. Yes, you had to spend some money, and more over the years, and even more in recent months, when fans who are not terribly well off may more than think twice about Pauls Explorer's edition or Georges crate of gnomes. But this is getting ridiculous. 'Join the club and buy our whole package or get lost.' That's how I see it. I'm angry.
I get the fixed income thing… but if it really is a matter of money (and not hating Disney for whatever reason), just get it for a month and cancel after watching. That would still be cheaper than going to then movies to see it.
Now, if you want it for free, I don’t know what to tell ya. 🤷🏻♂️
@@FabFourArchivist I live in Lithuania! I can theoretically do it with a VPN which is a bit shadier but still worth it in my opinion.
Here in Australia Eight Days A Week played in the major cinemas and it was amazing seeing it on the big screen. I was looking forward to the same with Get Back and will not be subscribing to Disney+ just to see this.
When this project was 1st announced, I sent a message to Apple suggesting that Paul and Richard should consider doing a new recording of "Two of Us". The lines "You and I have memories ..." Being especially poignant in 2021. It could be simple and newly recorded, although it's also not unreasonable to suppose that they could use a Beatle out take for the backing track. Either would be a wonderful affirmation and addition to this project. Now that the project has expanded and the release date pushed back, I can only hope that they took this idea to heart...
It's been a while since you've uploaded, but it's really great to see you again. I still am confused why Disney is the one distributing this. Amazon Prime or Netflix would have been a better choice, if I gotta be honest. Now the worst thing I can say is that since this is on Disney+, I would probably "p-word" it...
Hey Mark. Good to hear from ya. Yeah, I've gotta stop disappearing like that!
IMO here's how the distribution/streaming deal went down: Just like ABC had exclusive rights to the Anthology project (in the US anyway), Disney ponied up the best deal for distribution when Apple was shopping the project. I'd bet Netflix, etc. actually bid on the project, but Apple had big hopes that this would be a major in-person movie event. And who better than Disney for that?
Disney+ was probably part of the package the whole time (2 vs 6 hours), but when COVID happened, it was a fairly easy pivot to D+ for the whole thing.
They signed a contract with The Beatles in early 2020.
@@FabFourArchivist I agree, that's probably how it happened. But it just seems an odd match, both from a subject/distributor point of view, and from the viewing audience perspective. Total mismatch infact !
I'm definitely looking forward for a physical deluxe edition that includes everything related to Let it be and Get Back
The Beatles weren't JUST the biggest band in the world.
They were the biggest, AND the GREATEST, band in HISTORY.
Completely amped✨👍
I will force my local theater to show the stream on the big screen haha.
Were can I find the full rooftop concert? Is on any documentary or movie? I remember it was on RUclips a couple years ago
can't wait! Gonna re-watch all the Anthologies to get prepped!
I really wanted to have a theater release. The Ron Howard Beatles film was a blast to see with a crowd.
All that rehearsal
for just one live event…
In fairness,
the roof was rockin’…
Getting Billy Preston in
was a genius move…
Hey my name is Justus, I’m from Germany (sorry for my bad english)
I hope that they show the movie in the cinemas, like you said: it’s a great experience to see the band on the big screen. But a 6h Version on demand would be a fantastic bonus for every Beatles fan and archive material lover.
Let see what they‘ll do... But I guess they handle on behalf of the fans. :) I hope I passed the audition...
Hey Justus, just to say I agree with you completely, and your English is perfect, absolutely no need to apologise, perfectly clear. :-)
@@2112jonr thank youuuu
IMAGINE PAUL AND RINGO DOING A TOUR THE GET BACK TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS FOR 2022
Perfect timing for anyone upgrading to a larger smart TV and sound system a few weeks before to watch Get Back on Disney+ just before Black Friday. For me, watching it at home with family and friends would be better than my local theater that's basically project the image from a server with no Dolby ATMPS(immersive) support. Just because it's on Disney+, the movie may show the Beatles swearing at each other.
Was looking forward to the theatrical release and taking my kids. I don’t have Disney and won’t get Disney. Oh, well.
Same argument from myself. Most people interested in The Beatles ain't oing to have kids of an age where they want to watch Disney channels either. Can't see how that makes any sense for Disney, unless they just bought it along with the cinema and DVD rights. Puzzling from a business point of view.
Disney is $7/month and you can cancel without penalty. That’s what I did to see Hamilton - watched it 3 times in one month, then adios.
You miss out
As much as I dislike needing to buy a subscription, to be honest, one month of unlimited Disney+ is probably cheaper than a single theatre ticket.
You can cancel any time. So just pay for a month, watch the series, and cancel.
Oct. 2021, oh wait we have to postpone it again. I'll believe they'll show it when I'm actually watching it
I have a feeling that I will be thrilled to see the 6 hours of footage on Disney+ over Thanksgiving in glorious high-definition. I've got a bootleg of the "Let It Be" DVD and it does feel dark and claustrophobic except for the Rooftop Concert. I'm sure I will get this project on Blu-ray so I can revisit it many times in the future just like I do now with Anthology. I am a bit bummed that we won't get to see a two-hour cut in the theater. That would have been a fantastic communal experience. I won't complain over getting 6 hours via streaming service as long as we get a physical copy release. The main question I have is the situation with the super-deluxe version of the "Let It Be" album. Hundreds of hours of audiotapes can be culled for sonic gems that will delight the fans. I could see a release along the lines of The White Album content-wise. The main message for Apple is to shut up, put out the product we want, and take our money!
Damn ! I like the idea of the 6 hrs, but I was really looking forward to seeing this in the theatres, on a really Big Screen with a great sound system. I am really disappointed that is not happening. I saw The Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter doc in a theatre a few yeas ago. A nice, clean 35 mm print, and the sound was turned up in the cinema, and it was a truly amazing experience. I had only seen it on home video many times, but never in a theatre. Same with The Band: The Last Waltz, a magnificent experience (twice) in a theatre with an audience. I was was over joyed I would get to see The Beatles Get Back, restored and re-edited, screened in A Theatre, with an audience. This is a major let down. Especially Post-Pandemic. What a treat it would have been. Please re-consider, even a limited time theatrical release of the restored 2 hr version.
I am really upset that it will not be in theatres, i wonder how it feels to be in a crowd waiting for film about beatles, see other fans and beatles having fun on big screen.
I'll take 6 hours over the theatrical release. But would be cool if they still did a shorter version for theaters.
I’m diggin the mustache
No way I'm paying for Disney+, not even for The Beatles. Everything they put out is a disappoint to me.
screw disney! disney's one of the biggest criminal organizations on the damned planet. screw peter jackson. this project should've been handed to an unknown; A TRUE FAN! aren't these people rich enough? mccartney's a damned billionaire already.

Nice coverage about this on your part Lance.
I'm also hoping that maybe you have some inside information about the talk since around April 1st 2021 that there's another rare find of audio tapes from The Abbey Road Studios that were uncovered, about 6 months ago.
This isn't being publicized much but it was in a site called All About Jazz . com .
Anyone can look this article up and read it as it's quite epic when you understand what it actually is. They claim that they found a couple hours of audio recordings as Paul McCartney apparently rang up the famous jazz pianist Bill Evans in July of 1968 while the Beatles were working on the White Album. Evans was purportedly touring through London with his Trio in London and is known for the famous recording at Ronnie Scott's. McCartney decided to have a jazz jam session with him in the Abbey Road Studios.
The article states much in what apparently sounds like authenticated work that was done. It shows the track listings on the new album. Imagine hearing McCartney doing his famed ballad, Yesterday, with Bill Evans playing jazz piano in backing. Other famous numbers such as the Jazz hit Summertime, is sung by McCartney with Evans on piano, and his Trio of Eddie Gomez on base and Jack DeJonette on drums. Jazz aficionados and fans will just be so enamored to hear this if it's true.
Without even listing the site address, in hyperlink, that describes all this, you can look up the name above that I quoted, and search the album title - "Bill Evans: Hey Bill It's Paul From Abbey Road".
Hope to hear from you Lance and would would like to know what you think of this article in the All About Jazz site.
Thanks again for all your great research and posting here on RUclips about the Beatles history.
I am thrilled it is now to be 6 hours and that I can watch it at home! Dumb question (I don't watch much TV, streaming or otherwise) - if this debuts on Disney+ on Nov 25, 26, 27, is it likely to be watchable on Disney+ after the debut? Many family duties over Thanksgiving that could make it hard to watch for 2 hours straight 3 days in a row. Next dumb question - would there be anything unique to the first airing of the film that would not recur on later watching on Disney+?
Not dumb questions at all! Apple/Disney should be clearer in addressing them!
Typically with an "event" like this, the content will stick around for some time. Maybe not forever (just depends on the business deal they struck), but if you miss it's initial rollout, I'd say you'll still have at least months, if not a year to watch it.
As for unique content on the side, that's a great question. Usually that kind of thing appears as a live stream or EPK on as many platforms as possible to draw viewers to the source. I wouldn't worry about it.
Wasn't the Original Let It Be movie and 50th Anniversary of the Let It Be album supposed to be released last year also?
I was in the street below when they played on the roof
I genuinely thought that the 3 part series was an extension to the 2 hour documentary so thank you for clarifying the facts. I might have to get Disney plus especially for this release!
Yeah, the lack of clarity in the press release has thrown us all a curveball. Took me a while to parse what was happening.
@@FabFourArchivist You've done a very good job of it. Glad to see you posting again as well.
I heard (from only one source so far) that some time after the Disney stream there will be a DVD, BluRay AND a 4K release!
BTW, for those who want to know exactly when the streaming will begin, HBOmax began streaming Zack Snyder’s Justice League at 3 am EST, and it’s STILL streaming there over 3 months since it was made available!
I would have gladly sat in a movie theater for six hours. Re-filling popcorn.. happy as could be.
I also found the release schedule interesting - one part a day for three days in a row. I don't think I've seen that kind of a schedule before from Disney+
Same. I think it’s kind of clever - harkens back to the Anthology premiere.
Id rather have 6 hours than 2 - but i want it on the big screen!!!
Is there going to be a dvd release also ?
Thank you for your speculations. As a UK citizen I wondered about Disney's timing; it is set to Thanksgiving Day. The band need to get the release of this project right first time to avoid flack from picky consumers. So 1st the big £30 book coming out in October, postponed 31st of August, 2nd the showing of six hours of footage on Disney + very late November, 3rd the multi-format boxed set with no release date so far. This will contain the 'de-Spectored' 'Let It Be' on CD and other digital formats, and on vinyl, several booklets, a restored 'Let it Be' film on blu ray, and the fullest version of 'Get Back' on blu ray. So far no scheduled cinema viewings, though some sort of select cinema premier for the right journalists and celebrities would be high profile publicity. No word on what might appear and when on youtube, and no advance notice on extra/different audio material, of which there must be tons, to made available in digital only. The only question left is how many questions the different formats might still leave unanswered for Beatles watchers. However free the hand is that the band have given director Peter Jackson, they left questions behind with Anthology and they may do so again with this project.
With 6 hours…That freakin Rooftop Concert better be shown in its entirety (with No Street Interviews)…
I'm still bummed having to wait this long. But nothing I can do about it, so ... I'll just complain to my wife
As long as you don't bring her to the studio every day when the lads are trying to work.
@@matthewbarker9134 All together now: "GET OFF ME AMPLIFIER!!!"
6 hour's watching the greatest band of all time , can't wait
6 hours, man that's long but I'll watch it
I think it’s a wise move streaming it. I don’t plan on setting foot in a cinema / theatre anytime soon or even this year. Also, I already have D+.
Interestingly, that release date is exactly 42 years to the date I first saw Paul play live here in Liverpool.
An ideal situation would be to have the 2-hour movie theatre release this summer and then an in-depth 6-hour director's cut on Disney or wherever. I was really looking forward to seeing this in the theatre. And I'm really sick of having to subscribe to a new service just to see something. I will be subscribing for a month and canceling after I watch it.
I’d love vinyl pressings of the rooftop concert cleaned up in a multi disc set that includes one of the 3 days of jamming at Apple, and if “only” a 3 disc LP set third disc a collection of the early sessions before George’s departure or a remastered version of one of the two versions Glenn johns put together before they sacked the original project..
So excited for this thanks for the news ipdate
sad its not being shown in a cinema, i would have happily spent 6 hours in a cinema watching the fabs!
8:07 Man, I hope you're right F4A. Good to see you, dude.
I don't know any Beatles fan that would trade a six hour version just to see a two hour version in a movie theatre. I couldn't care less about seeing it in a theatre.
