isn't the rosier glasses view from Get Back, while possibly biased the other way, a better depiction of that time in their careers? 

Yes, I would think so, but I'm still looking forward to comparing and contrasting the two. (Hey, that would make a great school assignment.)

What is Disney doing with it, enhancing the quality of the video/audio at all?

Peter Jackson is remastering the original footage. From The Verge: "Like the docuseries The Beatles: Get Back, Let It Be will feature original film footage remastered by Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production and remastered audio created using the same de-mixing tools that recently led to the release of the Beatles’ final song."

Given that I've seen only a bootleg, I'm looking forward to the remastered version.

Looks like it will indeed be released for streaming on May 8: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/04/16/beatles-let-it-be-documentary-peter-jackson-disney/73340860007/

Got a bootleg version I got at Beatle Week Liverpool 2005 will be great to see it remastered and hopefully released on DVD & Blue Ray.

My bootleg's picture and sound quality is excellent...

Since the picture and audio quality of the original film was never excellent, that's quite remarkable.

Looking forward to the Peter Jackson cleanup.

Just like Benny Goodman did at Carnegie Hall in 1938, the clarinetist hit a high C on his Bb clarinet at 5:16

Not easy to do.

Still indulging in my wanderlust fantasies. I love the line "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." So true. It reminds me of the first few devastating years after the divorce. Sometimes the kids and I would end up being very silly together. It was that or cry. 

Back to wanderlust. . . This is another favorite song of mine.

I found this article on Jimmy Buffett's music quite interesting: https://theconversation.com/the-beautiful-pessimism-at-the-heart-of-jimmy-buffetts-music-213043

The theme of escapism is one thing that appeals to me tremendously about his music, now more so than ever in this (ugh) election year and amid skyrocketing rent, insurance, gas, and grocery prices. I wish I could live the story relayed in "The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful":

I see Paul was at the tribute concert at the Hollywood Bowl a few days ago (beginning around 1:07):

I've got a feeling I won't be buying Disney's re-release.

^^^^

Mine's a bootleg, too, with poor quality. It would be nice to not only see a non-bootleg version but also one that, according to Disney, has been restored by Peter Jackson.
