Let It Be
The documentary film “Let It Be” gives an unparalleled insight into the Beatles getting back to basics at Twickenham and at their own recording studios in Savile Row. It spans two weeks of recording of what was to be their final album, Let It Be.
Highlight of the film is their legendary gig on the roof of the Apple Building. The sound of their music attracts hundreds of people in the streets below. The crowd spills over into the streets, blocks traffic, frustrates the police. Windows in nearby buildings pop open as other people strain for sight and sound of their favourite performers. Even rooftops serve as precarious perches for Beatles’ fans.
Let It Be was produced by Neil Aspinall and directed by Michael Lindsey-Hogg. It includes tracks such as Don’t Let Me Down, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, Two Of Us, I’ve Got A Feeling, Oh Darling, One After 909, Across The Universe, Dig A Pony, I Me Mine, For You Blue, Besame Mucho, Dig It, Get Back and Let It Be.

“It's a little sad to think that this showed the Beatles breaking up. Original the plan was to film them working on an album, release the album, and give a live concert. Paul thought that live audience would take away some stress. The roof concert was their final performance together.”

“For Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia: please release Let It Be on DVD, Beatles fans have been waiting and waiting and the film is an important document in the history of the Fabs! I've seen a couple of very poor quality bootlegs of it and I and millions of other Beatles fans would love to see the film officially released with loads of bonus features in HD!”

“I saw this at the movie theater when it was released in 1970. As a 12 year old I was mesmerized. I didn't see the infighting Paul talks about. All I saw was magic and what I wanted to do with my life. I'd buy in in a heartbeat if it were released.”

“It is a part of history and should be released. The good as well as the bad made them who they were.”
