I can't wait to see all of Ringo's technicolor suits in HD, this is going to be such a treasure trove of Beatles fashion
Well I will be watching it for the 'technicolor music'.
♥️ As much as I love listening to The Beatles, I find myself checking out their threads like a kid in a candy store.
Yes! Their fashion is gonna be a highlight for me too
yes, as a beatles fan and a fashion nerd, this will be a real treat
They’re one of the most stylish bands of all time. Knew exactly how and what to wear though I have to say during this era the rest of the band just kinda dressed in comfortable hippie gear. Ring is definitely the only one dressing with swag at this stage
honestly just getting shots of george being petty and pretty is enough for me
Still waiting for the Lennon, Harrison and Starr discography (ranking) videos.
YES !😍
Give the man a chance!
Elliot does not want to listen the first John lennon's album hahahaha
I feel like Lennon will be the easiest to make
YES! Especially Lennon, I want to see where Milk & Honey ranks in his opinion.
You know, that bit where Sir Paul says, "Yes, we WERE friends." made me tear up a bit. It's sad to think he doubted his own memories of his relationship with John.
Absolutely. I think Paul was referring to his depiction of what he thought the public thought about them after the split. A lot of interviews Paul has given over the last couple of years seem to be him directing the attention away from his own part in the split, the Yoko element, and stating it all happened because John wanted out. Paul knew how he felt about John, he never doubted that.
I saw an interview of John in a talk show, years after the Beatles had split up, he said Paul is his best friend basically and he had dinner with him last night.
I think discussing the "Get Back" series on talk shows is helping Macca reflect again on his relationship with John. Have you seen the clip from Howard Stern's show where Paul discusses the last time he talked with John? It was posted about two weeks ago?

@@LM-dh1ub - Excellent point 👍
11:25 Ringo finally gets his due for his guitar skills. After all, he is the only Beatle - just moving very fast
😂
This is hilarious omg
the most powerful Beatle for sure.
:-)
I like to imagine after they stopped for the evening and everyone went home, Ringo would sometimes stay behind and when no one was looking pick up a guitar and rip a face melting solo that would make Hendrix jealous. Then leave with a little smile.
I'm glad someone is pointing out the overblown "exchange" between Paul and George. The entire myth of how the first film was dark and depressing has bothered me. It's not. Yeah, the quality is low but that's how the technology was then. 6 hours, man that is going to be awesome. Any new footage of the boys working is good for me.

Why would The Fab 4 Be ANY Different?
@@JamesBond-ml3zp thank you for shortening my paragraph lol
That big “blowup” was every day in my house. Can’t believe it was even a thing.
@@JamesBond-ml3zp Why do You Type in Title Case?
50 years later many people (including me) still can't get enough of The Beatles. That's how legendary they were and still are.
And what great songwriters and musicians they were. Their music has held up unbelievably well. They were magical, plain and simple.
man i can’t wait to see the remastered scene depicting paul and george’s lightsaber duel
honey wake up elliot roberts uploaded a new video
Haaa!! YES! My New Friend….
I was born Oct. 11, 1980, 40 yrs and 2 days after Lennon. My Dad told me how he sang 'Yesterday' to me in the hospital when I was born. When I came home he would play his Beatles albums so often and never had any issues with me pulling them out to play them. I remember one of the very rare times Yellow Submarine came on the tv to watch, my dad would be telling me about Help! and A Hard Days Night, with all the little jokes in there. How he pointed out to me that Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station telling the stories about Thomas the Tank was Ringo and my child mind being blown away. I remember him telling me how he enjoyed a lot of their music, but seemed to drift more towards John's, which is what I am as I tended to enjoy to melody and lyrics more. How my Dad would become, solemn when speaking of Lennon and telling me why he was sad. I have only ever seen my Dad cry about four times in my life, that was one of them.
Sadly my Dad passed in 1994, so he can't experience all the Beatles mania of the anthology and everything that's gone on, but I feel like he's around when I listen to them.
My favorite song, which I found out was my Dad's as from his Sister, is "In My Life". I love seeing the newer generations hearing them for the first time and discovering their music.
What a lovely story, thanks for sharing! I also started to listen to my Dad's few Beatles records ever since I was a toddler in the early 70s and I would listen to them regularly for the rest of the decade. Then I rediscovered the band in 1987 as a teen. But my full-blown Beatles "nerdom" didn't start until around 2008 when I was already an adult, hahah. The internet can be blamed for that 😁
I turned fifty a few months ago and The Beatles have been part of my life in some ways for almost that amount of time, half a century - crazy to ponder!
another elliot roberts video? and it’s on the beatles? best day ever.
I for one am shocked - shocked! - to find a video about The Beatles in this channel
In preparation for the start of the get back storyline, I would love to see a review of the documentary Eight Days A Week: The Touring Years by Ron Howard.
Great documentary
That doc was a major let down for me. Literally no new insights at all
Whoopie Goldberg was a highlight of that doc for me. The strangest thing was the hostility they had to face. The Marcoses in the Philippines you could understand-they were tyrants. But that "horrid snooty" thing in (I think) Sweden was so uncalled for. How odd that 4 exhausted young men were expected to go in front of the Press and face the same questions, day after day, country after country.
yeah, I thought it was really well put together but a bit superficial. loved seeing all the clips etc though! excellent!
As someone whose birthday is on the 25th (and whose Beatles loving best friend is on the 26th) needless to say we are very excited for it!
That’s my b day too! Cheers
one of a kind beatles memorabilia will be available in an upcoming auction. rarest of all, a photo of george harrison NOT looking haggard.
There it is lol
Ringo.....Ringo.....Ringo.....Ringo......Ringo
I wanna see the whole rooftop concert mostly. It’s such a historic moment and we’ve never been able to see it clearly. I also mostly wanna see their creative process
Bit of an unrelated note, but I’m currently reading ‘One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time’ by Craig Brown, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. While it isn’t super in-depth (though it does run some 600 pages or so) it does do a good job of capturing from various angles the craziness of Beatlemania and the reactions and responses from different parts of society. It even picks up on some forgotten stories: such as the careers of the comedians who were on after The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show and how their supposed big break died a death because of how overshadowed they were, or the drummer who briefly replaced Ringo on a world tour when Ringo was sick, whose career then exploded because the success of temporarily being a Beatle went to his head. It even brings up that Mandela effect thing by recounting how different accounts of John attacking a man at Paul’s birthday party vary wildly - did he use a big stick, or a spade, or nothing at all? How injured was the man? How injured was John?
There are plenty of books out there on the Beatles, but this is definitely one to check out.
i just finished that book! it really was fascinating, learning new things about a band i thought i knew everything about :)
Sorry Elliot I don’t think they will John has been suspiciously quiet the past few decades
To soon

Hey man.
Just had an Idea (in the shower) of a cool vid you could make.
A "definitive" guide on how to listen to the "best" formats/releases of The Beatles discography.
Original mono/stereo albums, 80s reissues, 09 remasters and 50th anniversary albums.
Hell mono vs stereo in general. Maybe two parts 62 to 66 and 67 to 70 red/blue style.
Doubt you will see/read this and even further doubt that you would even consider making it, but hey just one of those shower Ideas.
Fabulous work anyway, you are my Beatles guy on the tube.
Hey thanks friend! That’s a cool idea. I definitely have a lot of thoughts regarding mono/stereo so I’ll keep it in mind. Cheers!
That would certainly set off a firestorm of controversy.
@@ElliotRobertsVideos First time one of my favorite creators has replied to my inanity, nice one! Thanks brethren!
"The Beatles" were essentially lifelong friends. And as is normal for human friends, their relationships were complicated; sometimes they even had differences of opinion and even arguments.
Personally seeing more footage is much better than just seeing 2 hours of it. I love seeing the lads and no matter what age I am, they never cease to keep me fascinated and coming back for more. Through both bad and good.
Can't wait for the rooftop concert.
Thats in youtube btw
@@marguskiis7711 thats 22 minutes, the series will include the full 42 minute set
I don’t support Disney + or streaming, so it’s annoying that there’s no longer a theatrical release. I can only hope a blu ray gets released, but knowing Disney I can’t get my hopes up.
Yar. Meet me in the bay on the Black Pearl. There's a mountain of booty for the taking without feeding the dreaded beast. Yar.
I’ve heard of people like you.
Just get a free trial period and dip once you've seen it, lmao.
@@aquin3066 i forgot abt free trials being a thing, thanks
Of course it's due to the pandemic, for the better or worse.
BUT MAN IT'S SIMPLE:
Theatrical Release of 2 Hours NO
Whatever Release of 7 Hours FUCKING YES
I've been saying it for ten years now: The _Get Back_ sessions were a month of incredible creative output and camaraderie in the legend of the Beatles, and that period is constantly getting a bad rap.
I can't wait to see not two but *_six hours_* of crystal-clear footage, including the full rooftop concert. My only wish is that the film gets an accompanying soundtrack that includes all the audio from the rooftop as well.
Every time I watch the trailer I have cried because we have never seen this side of the Beatles!!!! And just seeing them all together in a modern looking light is emotionally stirring. I genuinely cannot explain how excited I am. Plus I think its the first things Ringo and Paul have fully backed. I hope that means it will finally show the true bond they all had.
In regard to 'Get Back' I opened a thumbnail link to what turned out to be a bizarre channel called 'Mike Williams' Paul Is Dead Channel'. At first I thought it was a parody but it was full-on Beatles conspiracy material. This guy kept calling Paul "Billy" (Billy Shears) and then went into a theory that Peter Jackson was using 'deep fake' technology to create artificial scenes in this documentary. It was completely nuts but strangely compelling. The theories were insane but the fellow was very sober and analytical. There were no skeptics or naysayers in the comments so I got the impression this fellow tolerated no non-believers. There are some very odd people in RUclips. It's a relief to come here and see some sane discourse. Cheers.
Yeah, I saw that too. Bunch of schizos.
The Paul is Dead theory is so strange because the topic is so hard to prove. Much easier is to prove that John died 1966 because John really changed massively after that and finally the character was killed too.
Margus.
It's very easy to prove that Paul is still with us and John is dead. You just have to quote actual facts.
Yeah. They're absolutely crazy. I've tried commenting on there, but he just deletes my comments. It really is like a cult. And some of the members have extremely wild theories that are easily debunked, but for some reason they just don't want to listen to logic.
@@Sakura77488 The convenor of the channel is a very strange man. His theories follow a schizophrenic trajectory. I suppose we should be aware that schizophrenics are also online. I think that this fellow's site is a drawcard for schizophrenics. I wish all who suffer from this terrible illness well and I'm not disparaging them. But it seems that the Paul Is Dead conspiracy is only pursued by those who suffer from this illness. I have known a few individuals who have this mental illness and all the boxes are ticked in regard to this site. All we can do is leave them be and realize we can't talk sense into them. They have problems we don't share. We should be relieved we don't occupy that unfortunate space.
It is going to be mindblowing!
I think it would've been stellar if they'd release two versions, one short for theatrical, just to be in the same place as other hundreds of fans watching it and be hyped up, closest to being at the concert of the Beatles, and another long version for Disney+.
Just an idea regarding them having a great time during the recording is perhaps because as Georgie pointed out when the Beatles had a guest visitor or a session player then they'd forget all the bickering and behave themselves which is great for the documentary but that might've been a different story if there were cameras installed and just themselves alone, similar to Big Brother.
What do you think?
I believe that Paul McCartney and other celebs got a shorter 100-minute version at private screenings, and I think that would’ve been cool to see as a cinematic release. And yes, it’ll be interesting to see how the presence of Billy Preston keeps the Beatles behaving themselves.
that one dislike is jojo not wanting to get back
A few other Blue Meanies have joined the thumbs-down folk. There's no please pleasing some!
😆 🤣 😂
I think they all had real beefs with each other and they simply didn't know how to talk it over. Plus, not touring with each other lead each guy down away from each other with different projects.
Selfishly, I wish to just have access to all of the footage Peter Jackson had to work with, all the footage that was filmed and the recordings of them that was just audio too... for long listens and viewings that don’t leave out a single thing.
Yes it would be daunting to piece it all together and to market that volume of footage, but you can’t say that you wouldn’t find at least some time at some point to sit through it all, especially if we came to terms with the idea that this documentary is going to be the last official Beatles thing ever made or released.
My only concern is oddly enough is with Peter Jackson: the definition of the restored footage has a weird pastel painting effect that was more appropriate for They Shall Never Grow Old. It’s silly that we’re finally getting HD footage of Let It Be but there’s still an additional layer from it being enjoyed fully.
Yeah it looks amazing clear but has a slight CGI/uncanny valley kinda quality. Maybe it's just me.
Who cares
It looks like it was upscaled using AI, it looks... *off*
Have you seen the remastered video of The Ballad Of John And Yoko from the +1 collection? That's how the Get Back sessions footage is supposed to look like. Grainy but still very clear and vibrant, 16mm film is supposed to look like that.
@@doctorrobert1339 I can forgive Jackson for cropping it. As we've seen from GQ Magazine, and the recent 60 Minutes video with Jackson, the original 4:3 negatives of Get Back footage have very rough scratches on the edges. Presenting it in complete full frame would just look tacky with all those scratches.
I agree the DNR looks very weird, and appears like a poor upscale. It worked better on the WW1 footage imo. I guess Jackson's goal was to make the Beatles footage look like modern shot footage in lower resolution. Personally speaking, a cropped 4:3 frame with grain would've been best (like 1+)
Unfortunately it also seems like the restored Let It Be received DNR too.
@@Fun4None250 I agree pretty much on everything you said, and yeah cropping it because of the rough edges of the original film is a sensible decision for sure (and it'll just look better on today's wide screen TVs and monitors). I wish they kept the grain though, because the footage looks like it was airbrushed, if that makes sense. It looks more like tape rather than film.
I would have liked the two hour release first but in theaters. Why? On Dec. 8, 1989, I saw Paul for the very first time play live. The tickets came from Club Sandwich and I was thrilled when I sat in my seats before the show. Lots of older woman in their late 40,'s or early 50's were telling me stories of when they saw the Beatles live in the states. (members of Club Sandwich) The moment the short film of Hard Days Night started, as a group we all burst into tears. It was magical.
I don’t know man…I really was hoping and wanting the ultimate break up movie with loads of petty in fighting. A shot of Paul Macca round house kicking Yoko to the head. While John takes more heroin…
This sounds like a negative 10/10 movie
I’m glad about the six hour three chapter version but I deeply wish that Peter Jackson, the owners of the material and the right holders eventually compact those three chapters and format these into a two hour theatrical theater version that includes the full 42 minute rooftop concert! Maybe they could place that in theaters by the end of 2022. It would be fantastic experience to the senses!
I think the more footage the better. I have no expectations except me n da boiz chillin out in the 60’s and I will love every minute of it.
Explaining the mandela effect is a RUclipsr's rite of passage
At first I was like, "Uhhhhh..." when he said he wanted to sit in a packed theater to watch this. Then I remembered "Oh, right. Not every country is as much of a COVID-19 hellhole as the US." Edit: I think it's fine it went from a theatrical release to a miniseries. The pandemic has really wrecked my ability to enjoy movies the way I used to, but for some reason, I'm able to handle longer-form stuff. Like video essays about McCartney's entire oeuvre, for example. Maybe because there is a kind of podcast-quality to it that makes it easier for me to digest?
George: "I'm sorry I also wore a mustardy-orange jumper. I will wear it less often if you want, I'll call to check if you're wearing yours before I leave the house. I will take it off right now if that pleases you"
I'll sing if you want me to sing, and I won't sing if you don't want me to sing.
I have been a huge Beatles fan since we first heard of them in the 60's. When VCRs became available for the public to purchase... the first VHS video tape I bought was the "Let It Be" movie. That is how much I love the band. I have always loved the movie. It let us get a glimpse into how they made their records. It was a fantastic documentary of that period of their existence. I never felt that it was this bad movie about the breakup of the band. It was an amazing opportunity to see them creating great songs. I always wished that their were movies from all of their album periods. I have Beatles friends that say it only shows the band as unhappy. I completely disagree. Even the original film has LOTS of times when they are having fun together.
So I was absolutely excited when the announcement of Peter Jackson's new look into this period came about. I want to see as much of it as possible The more - the better. SIX HOURS is a dream come true. I have been waiting and waiting for the new Jackson release. I think it will be my favorite Beatles related release in a long, long time.
Btw... in the clip of Paul and George (which so many people have blown WAY out of proportion)... Paul was trying to explain to George exactly how he wanted him to play a particular guitar part in one of his new songs. Sometimes George wanted to be able to just improv a guitar part... but many times Paul had the guitar part that he wanted in a particular song already figured out in his head. That is all that was going on in that small clip. Like Elliot was saying - it was not a big deal. It was a small thing that was forgotten shortly after it happened.
Also... George quit the group after a fight he had with John (and some sources say they even came to blows). After George left - John said to the other Beatles that they could get Eric Clapton to replace George. I am looking forward to seeing how much (if any) of this stuff is covered in Peter Jackson's film. Eventually George came back - and Billy Preston was brought in to play keyboards for their live performances - and things went pretty well from there right into the live rooftop concert. My greatest wish... is that George would have played one of his new songs live on the rooftop.
I was impressed by Let It Be movie too, because it is actually a good 70s documentary and I love 70s docs which are usually SO good.
I agree with your first paragraph especially. I didn't like the way it was presented and edited by Lindsay-Hogg eventually as a I grew up and watched a few more times though. Most people who say Let It Be was a documentary of the "Break up" of the Beatles are full of a certain bodily expungement and of themselves. No, it was a documentary being made for a TV special at the time with little time to put it together. People are merely parroting what others have falsely said and written to compartmentalize and file away an easier explanation, rewrite history and make a buck possibly. The group had to make albums anyway, Apple was in debt, they needed to get out of it. But these retro-soothsayers also were not in the room while the film was being made. They pay no attention to the fact that Lennon quit the band in September 1969, 8 months AFTER the film was made and they kept it quiet for another 7 months. It's all BS. Nobody knew the band was going to break up until at least Sept 1969, not even them, it has been said by the members themselves interviews, for decades...."hindsight is 20/20." Now we get to see 6 hours of Get Back and see for ourselves to some degree. The RELEASE of the Let It Be film coincided with McCartney's announcement of his solo album [there were big arguments between the members and Allan Klein their crook manager then about that due to the release dates of Let It Be album and movie] and the fatal answer to a question of if the Beatles were going to resume etc. on April 10, 1970, over a year [roughly 14 months] after the film was made. He said no, McCartney gets the blame, Yoko is off the hook for total blame [how stupid] , lol, and it's all morphed into false narratives of gigantic proportion for decades now, often for profit. then someone said Paul McCartney was dead....they are still saying it...Egad give me a break...and the same people are surprised because they thought Keith Richard was dead but walking around giving interviews anyway...😂
@@thomastimlin1724 exactly
Pop Goes the 60s had done a series of fascinating videos analyzing audio from the Get Back sessions which directly contradict many of the widely believed narratives which arose over the years…ie George was bullied by Paul and had many legendary songs rejected, John being strung out on heroin, Paul being bossy and having a major problem with Yoko being there etc…there’s actual audio showing that the opposite was true. Funny how many of these narratives have been treated as gospel
George didn’t have songs rejected, he just didn’t think they were working out as simple “live” arrangements
Paul was actually quite diplomatic and eager to get along with everyone
It was George, not Paul, who had the biggest issue with Yoko’s presence
Fantastic videos on Pop Goes the 60's, Matt Williamson does an AMAZING job going in depth into analyzing these myths-besides Peter Jackson's film,Totally recommend watching these Let it Be videos👍
The Disney+ "Get Back" Documentary will be cool but let that not distract you from the fact that Elliot has George Harrison's (1969) haircut 😶
He does kinda look like Harrison, now that I think about it
Watching four geniuses in a room, doing what they love and having fun is going to be so enjoyable to watch. With, of course, a layer of "realness"- conflict, personal pursuits, and them as individuals who are growing apart. It's incredibly interesting. Feels like you're a fly on the wall watching history being made without all the skewed narratives that the media and public put out.
Can't wait to hear your review!
THIS DOCUMENTARY IS SICK!
This in my opinion, it's the best documentary ever made about the Beatles.
Sure the "Anthology" is the best and most complete in terms of "general-information" because it's the longest and really starts from their childhood and ends with John's death, with that marvelous heart-breaking "Free as a Bird".
Also "Eight Days a Week" is probably the best about their early years.
BUT THIS ONE!
THIS ONE IS THE GOLDEN ONE, FULL STOP.
As a passionate musician/composer and a super Beatles fan, I have never seen anything like this one.
It looks stunning, I lost my shit when I saw the trailer, and imagine that going for several hours..
I got a bad copy of Let it Be on VHS, however many years back it was. I was surprised there was really only the one scene, with George and Paul, where there was tension. And it was picked up at the tail end where they were talking about what had already happened. There was the one scene where Paul is convincing John he won't be nervous playing live, once they start playing. John just listens, kind of expressionless; he doesn't even seem aggravated.
Yet everyone thinks it's the story of the Beatles breaking up. I think our opinions of the film were more influenced by John, Paul, George and especially Ringo, saying the sessions were dreadful, than by the actual movie. I mean, it was boring, with the first ten minutes of setting up the drumkit and Paul playing the classical piece on the piano, more than full of tension. Once they got to the rooftop, though, it was magic.
Once more, Elliot, you deliver a great presentation which has me very excited for the release of this series. Well done!
Is this your first sponsor? congrats! So excited for your growth! And super excited to see the series and your thoughts!!
It is! Thank you for your support!
Thanks for another amazing video Elliot!!!
All I hope is for a commentary track from Paul and Ringo for this
“More Beatles is always the better option.” I agree 😂
I’m sooo excited, specially for more McBeardy content 🤤🤤🤤
I wish there was a film record of other albums. Let it be has never been my favourite. In the 70s I acquired a vinyl copy of Sweet Apple Trax and I think I’ve only played it a couple times, not a big fan of the outtakes. I look forward to all Beatle projects but not sure how I feel.
This is what we needed!!! Thank you!
I can’t wait for the series I sadly think that we made the narrative of the Beatles getting mad at each the most at let it be sessions since that’s what we’ve known from the let it be movie. I also can’t wait for the song covers and then talking about there really old songs as well from the get back book and the let it be/ please please me is a really awesome song. It’s just gonna be cool to see the Beatles on screen for a new Beatles fan
I think it’s funny how Beatles fans, even when they are told something completely different then what they believe by a trustworthy source, they refuse to believe it. Simply because they think the mythology is more interesting or believable.
As a Beatle nut, I’m look forward to anything new coming from them. Whether it’s solo work, remastered stuff, or something else entirely, as long as a Beatle is in it, I would want to be there to see/listen to it
You're not a nut. As a Beatles fan, I say the rest of the world is nuts if they are not a Beatles fan, lol
Mi birthdays coming up next week and this is like the greatest gift I could ever receive, cannot wait! I love them very much
It's funny how George Harrison in episode one complains about Paul being bossy and selfish, and then walks in the next day and tells Paul he's written a new song called "I, Me, Mine". That was clearly about Paul, but I doubt George ever admitted it.
Paul a day or two later starts playing a new song called "Carry That Weight". "You're gonna carry that weight a long time." George really did carry that animosity toward Paul for over two decades, if you listen to his interviews through the years.
from the trailers, they apllied an awful smooth filter on the footage
looks atrocious
I'm super excited for everything else on this project
They denoised the shit out of the footage to the point where there's no more film grain to be seen and peoples' faces look unnaturally smooth.
@@Verdoux007 the first sneak peek they released last year looks perfect
@@dimitreze That sneak peek clip also had the denoise effect applied, they just hadn't sharpened the footage yet.
I read on some forums that the Disney version of the trailer had some more film grain and not as much smoothening as the youtube one. Haven't seen the disney trailer but I hope it's not like this one. They went over the top.
I've seen several of the documentary's trailers on youtube, and it seems that, so far, there's always "that one guy" in each of them saying how this looks horrible, horrendous, atrocious... (all the possible synonyms), as opposed to basically 99% of the people, who say how awesome and perfect and whatever the footage looks. Since I know jack shit about film making and film tech, that makes me wonder why. Why is it that some small percentage of people not only don't like it, they REALLY don't like it? What is film grain? Is it really better to have certain qualities or is it just a matter of personal tastes/opinions? Cause I really can't see what's wrong with how they treated the footage (but like I said, I know nothing about these things), and if the vast majority also marvels at how it all looks (from what I've seen in youtube, at least), what are you guys seeing that we don't? (sorry for the long rambling, I didn't intend for my comment to be this way, I swear)
Can't wait to hear your take on Get Back!! I'm checking back here every day to see if you've uploaded anything
Right? I'm surprised he hasn't created a video for it yet.
Wait a minute...You are a Beatles fan???
I’m so excited, my stepdad and I are huge fans and can’t wait to watch it!
As a massive Beatles fan I was (and still am) ecstatic about this documentary coming out, granted I also would've loved to see it in theatres seeing how I don't have Disney+ but I'm still looking forward to watching it
Get a free trial period when it comes out and then dip once you've seen them.
Excellent video. I'm looking forward to 6 hours of fresh footage! 🙂
I hope there will be actual music - six hours is a lot of time. With John supposedly not bringing a lot to the table, what's his role going to be? Will we see Don't Let Me Down over and over again? I wonder if there's video of John's lead singing through Get Back? That would be a treat! Paul trying to lead the others through the formation of Let It Be took hours, what's that going to look like? Also there are many iterations of Get Back, Two of Us, and I've Got a Feeling. George only has a couple songs. John didn't really like I Me Mine. How's this going to turn positive? Will this be more of miniseries of talking with music interludes or music with talking interludes? I can see the Beatles parodying their early selves somewhat but do they truly enjoy each other at this time? Sound bites tend to have a silent Ringo when Matt Williamson shows breakdowns of conversations between the Beatles during rehearsals. I hope there is video of him being himself (whoever that is during that time - surely not "Peace and Love"). I don't know how there can be a lot of optimism between the Beatles during this time because they never played together since then. I mean, was it an amicable breakup? And the rooftop concert day was cold. How can that be fun for them? It seems more of an obligation to fans or something at Paul's insistence. I hope Peter Jackson shows a realistic portrayal of the Beatles during this period. If there's six hours hopefully it won't be dull. Or will it make us wish the Beatles stayed together through the '70s? I do not have expectation of everything being happy and wonderful. Clarity of video reproduction looks excellent!!! I wonder if the first two days will have sort of cliff hangers to make us want to watch the next episodes. Anyway, we'll see!!! Thank you Elliot!!!
Those are damn good questions...you never know...I understand the skeptical angle too...
Imagine if there was footage of John, Paul and George recording that Abbey Road guitar "triel"...
When are you going to post the review about Get Back footage?
absolutely love your content! I had an idea for a potential video, i love when you mention books you’ve read about The Beatles so maybe an idea for a video could be you discussing some of your favourites! I’d love to know your thoughts, thank you again for the great content!
Never clicked on a video so fast!!! I’m so damn pumped!
Same
One episode in and it's already fascinating. It's probably as blunt and straightforward as a documentary can get and I honestly think that's one of its biggest strengths. It's literally just the footage filmed for the original Let it Be film but uninterrupted and unfiltered. No interviews, no tangents, no fancy editing/digital effects, no over-dramatized narrative, no bullshit at all! And ALL it is is just the band writing and practicing their new songs and planning the concert and it's so interesting to see. I would KILL to have this much studio footage of the Beatles working on other albums in their career like Abbey Road, Revolver, and of course Sgt. Pepper.
Hey, can you do a ranking of George Harrison albums?
Makes me wonder if they’ll ever restore Shea Stadium or the footage of the White Album recording sessions. Don’t know about the latter but Shea is possible.
Is there really that much white album footage tho?
ur channel is reawakening my love for this band i have never clicked a notif SO fast
my one selfish wish is that the day it drops, we get a surprise release of the reworked "Now And Then" I know Jeff Lynne has hyped up the song and has said that George left enough parts to it that he is 100% on the track, if this documentary is to be the bookend to The Beatles, may as well end it with the final Lennon/McCartney track "Now And Then" as Paul put it 2 years ago I think when asked about the song.
Everything you were saying I kept thinking EXACTLY SOMEONE GETS IT! I got the chills man like a lot of things you talk about it really opens my eyes and makes me feel happy hearing someone else feeling that joy as well when discovering new archives from the Beatles history, can not wait to see this film!
Nice reference to Norm Macdonald! "Have you ever seen a photo of George Harrison not looking haggard?"
Glad you picked up on it!
Can’t wait for your review of this to come out.
I'm glad that "the legend" is being rehabilitated, hopefully to a more truthful AND more positive version. The same with the stories about Paul, who was made the villain, and was probably more like the guy with the most energy and enthusiasm to keep the band alive and get the work done. Lennon even admitted at one point that he had to have somebody with the drive to get them all back to work.
But also, I wonder if there was such a weird mood in the fandom back then, that we NEEDED to think there was serious bad blood that forced the band to end. Weren't we all living with the dream that it could go on forever? From the beginning, they were constantly asked, "When is the bubble going to burst?", and for so many years it magically just kept going and changing and getting better. I think we all needed to believe, "Now they can't stand each other", so we would let go and let them move on to the rest of their careers and lives.
elliot roberts uploaded. today is a good day.
I can't wait.I know some people are upset it's not going theatrical,but hey,more Beatles.And for people worrying it won't hit physical media..have you known Apple not to go for a cash-grab?
I really hate the degraining/restoration effects. Makes everything look super smooth and fake. Would much prefer if they had just cleaned up the original film prints. Would be less distracting.
Dude...DUDE!! What a gift this is for Beatles fans. Peter Jackson, kudos and thank you!
Elliot,
I'm sure you're aware of this channel but just in case you're not, check out Pop goes the 60's.
You'll love it if you don't already!
Dude I'm so psyched for this. Like you, I was really hoping to experience it in a theater with other fellow Beatles fans, but I'll take what I can get and this looks amazing.
I agree! It would have been such a treat to see it in the theater with other Beatles fans.
In the ‘Official Clip’, I didn’t like how the footage and audio didn’t match at times.
Hopefully the actual docuseries has a more honest edit.
Hurry up and release the review! I keep checking and it makes me sad :(
I have a feeling he’s going into great detail.. should be worth the wait
One problem I have is that the footage was originally shot with 4:3 in mind, but it seems to be cropped to widescreen.
I got really excited a few days ago when Stephen Colbert mentioned that he had seen get back and that what he got from the documentary was how much The Beatles loved each other. It got me really excited to think that maybe this time we won't get the black and white caricatures of the myths and more of the actual human beings that are simply complex.
I'm really looking forward to it, especially as I remember it being broadcast on TV in the 70s and having that bootleg VHS, but I have this dread that 'somebody' seems to be retelling the story from his perception, and not the reality (whatever that might've been - and probably wasn't really represented in the original).
Im still of the opinion that a 2 hour theatrical relesse should have been shown first, then the Whole 6 hour version on D+ Big mistake!!!
ngl the 1 videos that use get back/let it be look much better than the get back doc, at points the get back doc looks smudgy and plastic where the 1 videos don’t, even if the 1 videos may use an amount of fake grain
Im wickeedd excited!!! I saw it and was so happy to watch something i love being handled by probably the best professional for this sort of work. Peter Jackson, by no insult, is a total nerd and commits to knowing everything about his world before going into it and always comes out on top
9:21 Actually, Ringo's said that he felt like they were a band again during The White Album
I'm ready to hear your thoughts now that we've all seen it. I've turned on notifications for it. Let's hear it!
I can't wait for it but I'm deeply disappointed they went for Disney+
I think they would have been better off doing both a 2 hour theater release and then later the 6 hour cut on Disney.
Insertion of vpn sponsor was creative and well executed. 8/10
Curious how you feel about it now that you’ve (presumably) seen it!
Don't mind it being a series... Just as long as it gets a physical release.
More than anything I just love seeing footage from that era dealt with properly - it doesn't need wizardry. There's plenty of colour and detail on the film. It just needs to be appropriately scanned, wobbles corrected, dust and scratches cleaned up. Then it's suddenly like a window into a past that really existed rather than some other fantastical 'past-world' in weird colours and fuzzy details.
The fact that it's of people I've come to know a lot about whose music I've loved since childhood just takes it over the top. I'm at a point where I don't need it to match some fantasy of magic and togetherness - especially if it's curated to be that way. I mean, George quit. Obviously he was _not_ having a good time. But I do want to get as many insights as I can get about what was actually going on bearing in mind that they were also conscious that they were being filmed and expected people to see the results within a couple of years at most.
One wonders if they had this marvelous footage of the get back sessions, why was it shelved and the miserable let it be movie was put out instead? Sounds like they’re trying to polish up The Beatles myth. Cgi tricks and 56 hours of footage?
The Beatles are the greatest Love story of all time
