Did anyone see the Peter Jackson Beatles segment on 60 Minutes?

[tap4154]

The director Peter Jackson found a bunch of tape from the Let It Be sessions that had never been seen before. I believe he's making a documentary out of it, and they showed some of this on 60 Minutes tonight. It looks super interesting!

It seems that contrary to what they seem to remember, they were all getting along pretty well at the time. It has great insights into their songwriting processes as well.

Just caught the tail end, DARN IT.

There'll be about six hours of it on Disney+ in a couple of weeks.

Oh well. At least I saw a few minutes of it.

Is this the segment?



I’m looking forward to it, but the extreme total running time is making me a bit nervous. Frankly, I was much more hoping for the initial plan — seeing a two to two and a half hour movie in a theater with a cheering audience ending with the rooftop conference, rather than — what, over six hours total?

But I thought They Shall Not Grow Old was a brilliant documentary, so hopefully Jackson will deliver the goods with Get Back as well.

Yep that's it. I have the Disney Channel on my satellite, but I'm not going to subscribe to another channel just to watch this. I think Disney plus is a separate subscription. Looks pretty cool though.

Saw it. Loved it. So cool seeing the boys creating on the fly.

I definitely could have done six hours of They Shall Not Grow Old.

That should have been the in-depth mini-series, and Get Back the two-hour movie!

 

[T-Bone]

Saw it. Like a sucker, I subscribed to Disney just so I could watch it.

I didn't see it, but I have Disney+ and have been looking forward to it for sometime now. I offered an open invitation to Blowtorch to come over and watch it and share wedge cut pizza.

 

[Tarkus60]

So I am going to have to get Disney + dang it.

I'm the exact opposite. Please release every minute of footage so I can watch it.

60 hours? Yes, please.

It’s been in the works for quite a while, and there have been a few threads here about it. Here is a sneak peak released earlier this year:



… and here’s the official trailer:

All these years and Beatles are still at the top. It's good the "youngsters" will get to see them. Then maybe good
music will be alive and well again. Keeping my fingers crossed. Will pull out the Beatles For Guitar Song Book
I purchased many years ago. Get Back JO-JO....HA, HA..

 

[Tommy Biggs]

I liked the segment, looks cool. Interesting to see them working through things on the fly.
Too bad I’ll never get to see it because d+ will tie up the licensing forever and keep it as exclusive content, and I won’t be adding a subscription.

 

[Dan Skammer]

Great ,love to see it..the stock is gonna go up on the late 60's silverface Twin reverbs and Bassmans...

 

[Chester P Squier]

I saw the 60 Minutes piece and enjoyed it. I don't get Disney+ and will probably not get it, but I would love to see what Jackson did with the footage. Or should we say mileage?

I last saw the Let It Be movie over 50 years ago, but from what I remember, it appeared that George quit (albeit briefly) after Paul tried to tell him how to play guitar on "I've Got a Feeling." From what I have read, George quit after John berated him for his song "I Me Mine."

If you've heard the lyrics on the subsequent John Lennon Plastic Ono Band album, and have heard the lyrics to "I Me Mine," it certainly appears that George's song is a dig a John and his self-centeredness.

This is 60 Minutes Overtime. A normal 60 Minutes segment is 12+ minutes, so this is not the same video as what would have been broadcast in the tv program. Excellent video, nevertheless. I wish I had been home to watch it last night, but I’m sure I can track down the full segment.
