I saw LIB for the first time about 10 years ago on bootleg video which KNOCKED me out showing the Beatles creating, arguing, jamming & rocking on the rooftop near the end just being a helluva rock & roll band which proves they could have toured back in 69 with the possibility of playing Woodstock but I think some of my fellow fans hate it because it shows the breakup instead of watching it with an open mind, which is pathetic!!!

I don't hate it. However, I DO find it depressing, and not because it shows The Beatles breaking up, but because for most of the film they very clearly are not enjoying themselves. After a while their bad mood rubs off on you! Despite this, the film is fascinating!

Can someone tell me a good place to get it???

wayne i wouldn't sling that word around to much because you're kinda pathetic too but in a bigger way.......

Let It Be is a GREAT rock documentary showing the Beatles creating, arguing, jamming & rocking on the rooftop near the end proving they were a solid rock & roll band who could have toured back in 69 & possibly played Woodstock at the timedespite the personal & professionl tensions between John & Paul!!!

OH MY DEAR SWEET LORD..

I now have irish creme coffee all over my computer screen. Thank you PC

Let It Be is a great Beatles movie which is much better than Help & MMT even though it's mostly dismissed & highly underrated by Beatles fans because it shows the turmoil inside the band which is ridiculous despite showing them creating, arguing, jamming & rocking on the rooftop which is why the Beatles are a legendary rock band.

i havn't seen it was it any good? could you explain what it was like to me?

As I said before, I DON'T dislike this movie, I simply don't enjoy it! The ONLY reason I don't enjoy it is because after a while the whole bad atmosphere, which pervades throughout the sessions, affects me as well! It's like sitting down for a family meal after your parents have just had a huge row - the food is still tastes as nice as ever, but you can't wait to leave the table!

I watched this film very recently - the first 30 or so minutes (filmed between 2nd and 15 January 1969) is spent watching 4 (5, if you include Yoko) miserable faces stuck in a huge, cold film studio, playing rock and roll badly... it's pretty excrutiating! There was no magic. It was only after they moved the sessions to Apple studios on 22nd January, and drafted in Billy Preston that things livened up.

For me, the only truly redeeming moment is the rooftop concert... at least John and Paul look as if they're enjoying it!

True, the film shows the band disintergrating, but that's what makes it such complulsive viewing, and I do not underestimate its importance. But, as I've said before, it's depressing simply because the Beatles themselves are depressing.

I don't agree, it's not better than MMT or Help. It can't be compared, Let it be is a documentary, and MMT+Help are comedies.

I think the Beatles classic rockumentary Let It Be is great & highly underrated for some reason even though some fans don't like it because it shows the breakup of the band but I think LIB showcases the Fab 4 at their finest creating, arguing, jamming & rocking on the rooftop near the end which proves they were a solid rock & roll band at the time despite personal & professional disagreements between John & Paul who could have toured back in 69 with the possibility of playing Woodstock. 

I have never see Let It Be, but I would really like to see it as it shows how the Beatles were back then during that very turbulent phase of their career which we all know led to the breakup of the greatest band of all time, however I do have Let It Be on vinyl, CD, & Let It Be...Naked, which i enjoy listening to very much, that album calms me somehow, even though there are some "rockers" on that album, but they are rockers with a more modern feel to them, a more mature feel if you will, which only goes to show that during Let It Be the Beatles were no longer the young, inexperienced loveable mop-tops, but more grown-up men who unfortunately had their differences, John was into Yoko and his anti-war efforts, Paul was into Linda and the family business, George was into his hindu stuff, and Ringo was off doing his thing and it was just hard for the band to stay together anymore.

Beat that, one sentence, Wayne!! lol

I hope I'm not picking at a dry bone here, but......when is the Let It Be DVD going to be released?  I was under the impression it would coincide with the release of Let It Be Naked, which it didn't.  So what gives?

I'm not sure about the release date of an official dvd, I assume it will be soon.
