Get Back, in contrast, looks at the footage as a whole, and paints a very different picture of the band’s time together. In many ways, it documents a band on the verge of a break-up. While Lindsay-Hogg’s feature film offered an in-depth look at The Beatles’ sessions, it also revealed some of the tense moments in the studio. John Lennon, meanwhile, can be heard working on ‘ Gimme Some Truth’ and ‘Oh My Love’, which both appeared in 1971’s Imagine. Many of the tracks that didn’t make it onto Let It Be were later developed and included on their solo albums, including the Paul McCartney-penned ‘Teddy Boy’, which appeared on his 1970 debut solo album, McCartney, and George Harrison’s ‘Hear Me Lord’ and ‘Isn’t It A Pity’, which were later released on his 1970 album, All Things Must Pass. It will also offer a chance to observe the band members’ development as solo artists. However, there is plenty of music that hasn’t been officially released. Several of the songs culled during the sessions were included in the 1996 Anthology 3 compilation, which featured outtakes and demos from “ The White Album”, Abbey Road,and Let It Be. In addition to the 55 hours’ worth of film, Jackson is also working with 140 hours’ worth of audio recordings. “‘The Beatles: Get Back’ is another step on the long and winding road to enhanced immortality, as the films show The Beatles at the very top of their game and not deteriorating, as they appeared to be in Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s ‘Let It Be.’ The Beatles’ very last film was a massive downer when it was released in 1970 and it has remained a downer ever since.” In short, Get Back is a celebration. In the introduction to his interview with Peter Jackson in GQ, journalist Dylan Jones outlined how the new film is less of a bummer than the original.
I mean, it does make you jealous of the 1960s, because the clothing is so fantastic.”

We’ve just balanced the skin tones, and the colors that you see, I’m assuming, are the colors that were there on the day. We haven’t tried to push the primary colors of the clothing up or anything. “All we’ve done is use the technology we developed for the WW I film ‘They Shall Not Grow Old,’ taking all this old First World War footage and restoring it. It left the director feeling envious of fashion during that era. Jackson explained in the same interview that they adopted technology from the film They Shall Not Grow Old to balance the film’s color palette, but little else was changed. Jackson used digital technology in combination with archival footage I knew in this world of the internet and streaming and everything else, that we would find a home somewhere for a longer version – so that took the pain away from having to cut stuff out.” All the footage we’ve been cutting is there and we just left it as a cut scene, so it didn’t take us long to put a longer version together. “The first cut was 18 hours long and I’d hoped that there’d be an appetite to say, ‘OK, let’s do a six-hour version,’ shared Jackson in a new interview with GQ. And we did think of other venues, and then we thought, ‘Wait, let’s just go up on the roof.’ And Michael shot that stuff on the roof really great, with a lot of cameras.” While the original film showed roughly 20 minutes of the performance, Ringo shared that he was thrilled to see the set in its entirety, adding “it’s great.” Ringo recently shared his recollections of that iconic performance with Variety: “We’d decided to play together, as a live band. Jackson’s film will include the entire 42-minute performance. Though footage of the live set has been well documented over the years, it has never been shown in its entirety. On January 30, 1969, The Beatles played a surprise performance on the roof of their Savile Row studio. It will feature the famous rooftop performance in its entirety The footage, now revisited by Jackson in a new light, is the only material of note that documents The Beatles at work in the studio. The footage used in Get Back was originally shot for Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 documentary, Let It Be, which captured intimate moments in the studio while the band rehearsed and recorded the songs for what would be their final album. “It’s like a time machine transports us back to 1969, and we get to sit in the studio watching these four friends make great music together,” Peter Jackson has said. It will be the ultimate fly-on-the-wall experience
