I've been on a journey with the Beatles now for. almost 60 years now.I discover something new all the time.I'm excited to watch Let it Be again.Thank you
What a great interview, currently reading his beatles films book. Admire your style allowing the video to be like a friendly chat with no interruptions, always the way to go. Thanks for bringing interesting people to your channel.
Steve did a great talk at the New York Beatlefest in February. Great information as always. This needs a Blu-Ray/4K release. DVD is being phased out so I can’t imagine a DVD release.
Steve is fantastic, I really enjoyed that. Thanks, Andrew.
hello Andrew, that was awesome, thank you for the lovely interview, I have ordered the book Let it be and am looking forward to learning and discovering more. 😜
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also happy mother's day Andrew ❤😊
Good discussion about the lads. I'm glad that you realized that it was a good thing it ended when it did because, they'd put in a lot of work to make this thing happen, and even though they were still very creative, there were other roads to travel.
Great interview. And I love how you handle guests Andrew. You made Steve talk and say his piece. You took the backseat. Thanks a lot😊😊😊
The Let It Be movie should be released as a DVD /Blu-ray with the complete roof-top performance AND, at least, two hours of footage not seen in the film OR the Get Back documentary. THAT would make the Let It Be purchase worthwhile and don't tell me that hardcore fans would not eat it up.
I am positive there will be a DVD Blu Ray
@@michaelrose3101 Em....in what form? A straight transfer? For me, they can forget it if that's all we're going to get, as all that amounts to is filling in a few blanks.That is simply not good enough for the fans.
@@candelise Hopefully more along the lines of what you are suggesting. I have a dvd copy of what was getting around years ago. The new one will be great, as you say, a bit more content. 😉
I had just left school, and was disappointed when I watched the LIB film in the cinema, before it was withdrawn.. I found your review encouraging, and will purchase it ....if a dvd/cd/vinyl version appears. As a part time correspondent to the Beatles Monthly magazine, I felt that John's rendition of Paul's "I Lost My Little Girl" was impromptu, unique, and very enjoyable. Thanks John
Hi Andrew. Great Interview (as ever) I don't have Disney+, so I can't wait for a Blu-Ray Edition. Because I keep hearing how Clean & Bright the film is. Being slightly 'Older' than you. I saw it on the actual Day of release at my Local Cinema. And many years later. I managed to get hold of a Bootleg DVD. Then we were able to buy GET BACK. (which I thoroughly enjoyed) Even in 5.1. I Can't wait to Buy the 'release'
Nice interview! I've had Steve's 33 1/3 Let It Be book for many years.
Thanks James 👍
Thanks for that it’s a great interview I will be making my way to the BFI in August. The book looks interesting.
I had read one comment where someone said something similar,that "Let It Be" seemed rushed compared to "Get Back",and preferred "Get Back" as a result.
I haven't heard of Steve Matteo's work before, I'll have to look out for "33 1/3" and "Act Naturally".
Yet another great video!!!
I know Michael Lindsay Hogg had a monumental task of editing down all that material to 90 minutes. And the film is not nearly as gloomy and sad as people said. Maybe just poor visual quality. Plus it had the unfortunate timing of coming out after the break up. People at the time must have wondered why they broke up after seeing the rooftop performance as the finale of the movie. I still do have to question some of his editing choices. There’s just absolutely no context. We know he was told by P,G and R to cut out what they felt was excess John and Yoko footage. Who knows what else he may have been told. But now having seen Get Back we know there were other (and better in my opinion) options as to what to include and what not. But in the end we have to be thankful he shot all that footage. I think a major reason Paul wanted the Beatles to keep going was that he was writing so many songs and must have thought that the group was the only outlet for them. We see in Get Back George telling John he’s thinking of a solo album just to get rid of his backlog because obviously the group wasn’t going to do most of them. Since John wasn’t bringing a lot to the table in January 1969 you would think they’d let George have more songs on the album. But instead of offering that John just says that’s a great idea. And meanwhile Paul is asking John to write more songs instead of working on George’s more. Even if the group continued along with the idea suggested at the Sept 1969 meeting of having the three of them each have four songs an album with Ringo getting a couple if he wants, that was not going to satisfy any of them. They would have to do three albums a year. And by 1970 the different themes explored in their songs would have made it unusual to say the least. Hard to imagine My Sweet Lord and God sitting side by side. ( though I guess the other three might have an issue with John singing I don’t believe in Beatles on a song on a Beatles album). Though The Lovely Linda and Oh Yoko together might be interesting. So like you said, the breakup was sad but we got a lot of great music in the early 70s.
AWESOME VIDEO. 😊
I wonder why they cut the dialogue about rubber shoes and George's being "made of wood"
I'm starting to get a little perplexed, I recall seeing the original 'Let It Be " movie back in I believe 1970? Then of course the Peter Jackson project a couple of years ago with "Get Back" now with "Let It Be" back out again on DVD, what are we getting that is new? Thanks and I apologize for the confusion, but as a senior and first generation Beatles geek...I'm getting confused with all these releases, I feel I'm playing a shell game with all these marketing gurus who of course are still sticking their hand in my pocket. Thoughts? thanks in advance
could you give me your opinion as to which of the original Beatles albums have the best mastering on CD? The original, the remastered, some other version?
There's something about the original mono mastering of Rubber Soul that is hard to beat. If you want an authentic 60s sound on an album go for an original mono mastering or if you want clarity in the mix go for the Giles Martin modern remix where available. 👍
@@AndrewDixonMusic That's what I feel about the mono Beach Boys songs. they just have a certain mix quality and distinct-ness that makes the harmonies and vocals sound better to me.
You definitely never heard George say “F*****g hell” after getting an electric shock in the original!
Mark Lewishohn was part of the Aborted Let It Be DVD project back in 2002 and he interviewed the policemen.
Maybe one of the reasons it was aborted is that maybe Neil Aspinall as original producer said no as I am guessing it would have beeb five votes for this film, because maybe it could not be restored then the way Peter Jackson and his team could restore in the last few years.
Is the new let it be film only available on Disney plus?
At the moment yes, hopefully will be a physical release at some point.
Hi Andrew.Trust you are well? Slightly off topic again but are you aware of a TH-cam channel by Peter Duncan. (No,not the one from Blue Peter). This is a guy from Scotland who has ripped Mike Williams TH-cam channel to shreds. Some of the videos are a couple of years old but well worth a look. The topic is to do with Mike Williams absurd claims that the Beatles did not write or play on their own albums. WTF??
Hi, not heard of that but I like the premise! Mike Williams makes utterly ridiculous claims, I shall have to have a look.
@@AndrewDixonMusic Williams claims are beyond belief. There are six(I think) videos from Peter Duncan that show Mike Williams is "full of it" with regard to The Beatles allegedly not writing their own material. Each video is about twenty five minutes long but we'll worth a look.
Hi Andrew. Let it be movie is a depressing film. Why restore it ? It clearly shows the Beatles in horrible situation, it’s truly terrible. Get back all the way because it shows much nicer footage. Let it be is sad why restore it just crazy
What we can see now is that there are way more minutes of the unhappy times documented in Get Back than there is in Let It Be.
Let It Be comes out of this restoration very favourably, without having had its contents changed.
It's all rather distasteful for old men to be slobbering over pop music.
Or trying to call themselves things like "Johnny Smallcock"
common consensus says this is more than "pop music". Sorry you missed the train. Mostly wondering why you're here at all.is that
