Beatles "Let It Be" (5.1 surround & Dolby Atmos mixes out in October!)

[ar surround]

Good. Other than the roof top concert, I simply cannot slog through 8 hours of Get Back a second time.

Restored “Let it Be” film coming soon?!

I was hoping we'd get Taylor's version soon.

I got so bored I gave up just about half way through it, and that was watching it in 'chunks'!

I was all in. It sounded amazing.

I agree. I wanted to see the minutia of The Beatles interacting.
Anyone who saw a run time of 8 hours and didn't think the majority of the footage would be tedious, was fooling themselves or really didn't think about it too much. Watching any band work in the studio for more than an hour will, most likely, not be riveting viewing.

I was all in. It sounded amazing.

I got so pissed in the first part because it was ridiculously overedited. Peter Jackson wouldn't hold on a shot for 5 damn seconds when the band were talking to each other. I wanted to pull my hair out.

Reminds me of Andy Warhol's 1965 production of EMPIRE in which a single stagnant shot of the Empire State Building was visible on screen for 8 hours and 5 minutes:

I LOVE the Beatles but even I did not bite!

Still hanging out for Shea and the standalone Rooftop concerts as a minimum

You had to be there...

I guess my LaserDisc of the movie can now rot in peace!

That's me to the bone an easy no buy. But have to admit I highly enjoyed all of it over the 4 days of Thanksgiving.

Very much looking forward to seeing the original since I have never seen it.
Is this going to be faithful to the original or are they adding additional content?

It's supposed to be the original film as seen in theaters in 1970.

Yes, and it contains some video content (how much? how significant? ) that did not appear in "Get Back."

Jackson made every effort to not use footage from the movie in his docuseries. Inevitably there is some, but not much — except the rooftop. And in that case, Jackson also used alternate angles/shots from the various camera setups.

According to the original director, it also it won’t be as aggressively de-grained. Unlike the docuseries, it also contains some complete songs as recorded in the studio.

The 1970 movie has full studio performances of Let It Be, Two of Us and For You Blue. They are really exceptional. It will also have lots of partial songs from the album along with some rock n roll oldies. There isn’t much duplication from Peter Jackson’s Get Back film other than the Rooftop.

I almost forgot, there is a full studio performance of The Long & Winding Road.
These 4 performances are amazing.

I can’t recall if the following were in the Get Back film, but there are performances of I Me Mine and Dig It. The latter I assume was more or less composed by Lennon on the spot.
