THE END OF THE BEATLES | THE STORY OF LET IT BE | CLASSIC ALBUMS

- After finishing the tense recording sessions of the white album, the beatles took a break from a relationship that seemed to be increasingly frayed. On the verge of breaking up, Paul McCartney proposed the Get Back project as an alternative to solve the band's problems, without so much complexity in its recording and returning to its roots, the project proposed an album, a television special with a concert that would give the Beatles a second chance. But the beatles got their reality check when tensions and their artistic differences returned, locked in a film studio and with an improvised concert on the rooftop of their studios, the beatles were wondering about their future in January of 1969.

Man O man! I’ve been going through these all afternoon. What a fabulous station you’ve created. Huge cheers to you and your storytelling. I love the Beatles, and now I love them even more. Many thanks.
Best band EVER! ❤️
But of course!
It was their last will and testimony - as everything else to come our later, would be out of the cans. We all think of it as their final album - although Abbey Road actually was as a band.
I've Got A Feeling, Dig A Pony also a rooftop performance on that album.
Came to the comment section looking for this.
I would be born November 20th of 1969 & my parents were Beatles crazy.
I am too.
The "Naked" version is a better listen for me.
As George said “All Things Must Pass” I don’t like that quote but regrettably it’s true. I loved them all but George was my favorite Beatle.😊
I like Glenn John’s mixes. Let it be naked was nice.
Glyn Johns, you Beatles buff...

They went out on top. I would hate the Beatles ruin their legacy by releasing a disco album in the 70s, a new-wave album in the 80s, and an adult-contemporary album in the 90s.
That’s not really them. If they had stayed together through the 70s and 80s, they would have been creating and defining the music of that time as well!
Literally
Really? Do you really think those were their options if the Beatles would've been together past 1970? Damn!! Give 'em some credit for being innovators!! That's probably why they couldn't stay together, their imaginations were all worn out. They'd been there and done that. I do, however, think they would've returned as a newer versions if John hadn't died. That Chapman guy really threw a wrench into that possibility.
@@stevenorcott354 TRUE DAT!!
They might get some great music done, but with stress and not good energy it’s not worth it. They done well on their own. Also don’t worry, no disco or new wave here, they would held their new. They did somehow even on their solo albums.
I particularly like your use of isolated tracks and the best quality of video - great job, thanks!
I’ve got a feeling, Dig a pony AND One after 909 were taken from the rooftop for the album. It was clearly stated in Get Back
Really.. I've got that book that came with the album so I must have bought an early edition
Why did you show a picture of Steve Winwood when talking about Ethan Russell?
I always consider it a deep irony that my first Beatles album was *Abby Road,* the last full-length record the Beatles recorded together and my last was the original 1970 issue of *Let It Be.* I always enjoyed it, even if it isn't "supposed to be enjoyed". (That's a reaction to texts I've written about how this album is the least satisfying issue in the Beatles' catalog.)
Opinion from a pretty knowledgeable Beatle dude. My fav albums are Revolver Rubber Soul & without a doubt ABBY freekin ROAD!!!
That's not true. One After 909 was not the only song they used from the rooftop on the album. Dig A Pony and I've Got A Feeling were both the rooftop recordings also. You can hear Ringo sneeze and abruptly stop right as George is counting off Dig A Pony. That bit is from the rooftop performance.
They were together way too much. Everything they did together with Ringo was a 9 yr period. White album just came out like 4 or 5 months before this get back project. Take some time off fellas. I get George getting flustered. The dark horse at that point was just as good if not better songwriter than Lennon and McCartney. Harrison wrote the best songs on the white album and Abby road.
Also what is crazy all the Beatles where In there 20’s when they broke up. They were just kids. It’s amazing they staying together as long as they did.
Really good video thank u
It’s worse than that. The White Album came out less than six weeks before the Get Back sessions commenced. What other group would even conceive of going in to a studio with new songs just weeks after releasing a 30 track double album? Today it would be at least two or three years lay over to promote the first album before even thinking about a follow up.
This very important truth is often denied by so many that I think this a very important and timely reminder about The Beatles, McCartney and longevity.
Ringo quote word for word, …
‘And we all thank Paul until this day, because Paul, who was the workaholic of our band, we made a lot more records than say John and I would. Ya’ know we (referring to himself and John) would like to sit down a little more…’

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊
great job, narration, imagery, etc
great album, one of my favorite of beatles, and phil did a great job, exept long and winding road -
Very cool.
This was the best band ever breaking up...
Isn't it a pity is one of the finest songs ever written and performed in the entire history of music. In my opinion anyway
This is my favorit beatles album
Had the Beatles NOT split up, they would haved faced stiff competition from artists and groups like REO Speedwagon, David Cassidy, Fleetwood Mac, and many others.
Next, Do a Documentary on the Beatles solo careers in the 1970s.
Remember the Byrds reunion album in 1973?
I don’t either.
Glad the Beatles last recorded album Abbey Road was a classy way to go out.
I dont think there will ever be genius like this again. To me, no one can compare to Lennon and McCartney.
Not now.
But meaybe after 50000 years ?
John had no business bringing Yoko into their recording sessions.
No band should ever allow an interloper to ruin them.
According to much archival footage, many of the wives were in the studio, especially during the pre-production stages of early planning & recording, i.e., Linda Eastman & her young daughter, as well as Ringo's then-wife were present. This was made super clear in the Jackson, much anticipated, 2021 "GET BACK" 6 hour re-tooled, restoration film, AS WELL in the classic Lindsay-Hogg original cut. I may be mistaken, but believe I am not. The VERY FIRST THING I RECALL when seeing the "wives" present, was Linda E. was so eloquently dressed AND WEARING COSMETICS, something she decreased & frowned upon greatly, during her WINGS touring years of the 1970s.
BolsaChicaRadio
@@BolsaChicaRadio I think Yoko was the only wife that brought a mattress into the studio and was continually at her husband's side.... including when he had to drop a _deuce._
@@im1who84u Well, dual restroom duties will remain a question mark, but indeed, I believe you got us on the whole mattress dealio, that's a "for-sure".
(Anyways, on an unrelated matter, $5 dollars says your You Tube handle is a play on the name of Van Halen's 8th album! BUT, I may be wrong...)
BCRadio
Love the album cover ! …… one of these Beatles is not like the others …. Could it have been any more obvious ! …
You should make one for A Hard Days Night and Help next
I love Beatles
I just saw an interview with Jerry Seinfeld, where he said the Beatles went out on top after nine years of greatness the same as his show!
That Jerry, he's a genius!
The disservice of Let it be was that it wasn’t the final album but the penultimate experiment to what led to their last immaculate album ,the goodbye and fitting end to a magnificent career…Abbey Road⭐️
In a way, "full circle" could best sum up Let It Be -- between One After 909 representing their early period, Across The Universe being a nod (intended by John or not) to their psychedelic period, and both I Dig A Pony and The Long And Winding Road pointing toward what both John and Paul would be best known for in their solo work (as I Me Mine likewise would represent for George).
In fairness Let it be wasn't a great album but I still love it.. Abbey Rd was a much better and tighter album
Three number one hits off Let It Be. I prefer Abbey Road,too, Let it Be was a great album, too. It was just more of a soundtrack album.
Anyone know the take of long and winding road he uses in the beginning of the video?
One wonders how it could be that "Phil Spector was invited by Lennon and Harrison to take on the task of turning the Beatles abandoned "Let if Be" recording session into a usable album" after "John Lennon had already left the group."
They were only together for 10 years! I was wit my band for 25 of its 30-some years and we never had a problem staying together until we got this terrible bass player but, even then, we were still together for another 9 years after her.
Let it be is great album but Phil Spector is producing the album granted some tracks sound good with the wall of sound but I agree with Paul that long and winding road got butchered by Phil but overall it’s a good album
As was said: Produced by George Martin. Over-produced by Phil Spector.
@@jamesdrynan if it was fully produced by GM then maybe it might have been better
You say Paul thought they should do Let it Be, because he wanted to keep them motivated? People have to realize the white album was released on Nov.22, it was a double record, what the Beatles really needed was maybe 6 months of rest ,not another new album and a movie of them doing it not even eight weeks after the release of the white album,and John didn’t have much material he felt pressured and was sick and tired of Paul’s bossy attitude,
I love the album let it be I am a huge Phil Spector fan I always have been and they always will be and I thought feel Spectre did a really great fantastic job although he could’ve added more songs especially in the song don’t let me down to the project but it’s still a great album nonetheless
He left off DON’T LET ME DOWN. how did THAT happen ?!
@@cynthiaforsythe8989 I am not sure how the Specter left off don’t let me down I think what he could’ve done is he could’ve use the rooftop version I don’t let me down since the Beatles played it live. but you don’t find it in the original album you only find it on the list naked version of 2003 produced by George Martin. i’m glad the single version of don’t let me down there’s only 1967 to 1970 blue album in the past Masters volume two from 1988. that’s one thing I wish that girl Spectre would’ve added along with several others don’t let me down and some of the other songs that are on there but if you have the let it be super deluxe box that you will find it.
That wasn't Ethan Russel you showed. It was Steve Winwood.....Other than that great vid...
You DID miss ONE thing: on the album cover, John, George, and Ringo are shown against a neutral background. Paul: HIS background is RED. RED, the color of BLOOD.
Indicating the Beatles were sending us the message that PAUL IS DEAD.
(Sorry. I just HAD to do it.)
Never noticed that.
Now just A Hard Day’s Night, Help, and Yellow Submarine left, right?
They were all remastered already
@@beatlemangle1712 No for videos on them from this channel
I like Phil Spector's version of the Long and Winding Road.
The choir is lovely and the orchestration is solid.
And you know, fair play because tThe Beatles wanted nothing to do with it.
considering the status the band has in Britain & the western world , I’m surprised there’s songs or tracks which i aged 60 & many have never heard because they’ve never been played regularly if at all on daytime British music radio. That first snippet of song & those Let it be tracks is an example & typical of the ‘Hits only ‘ playlists of National radio ( except for BBC 6 music which was literally rescued by donations & pleas from listeners & artists). Without Internet i shudder to think how 98 %of music would now get heard thanks to Global & Bauer & the like feeding the musically deaf with Elton & Madonna best sellers decade after decade ….
let it be was not the last one, Abbey Road was.
True. So glad Abbey Road was the last
The Beatles broke up because of......LIFE.... married young men.....in bussiness......not knowing how to manage it.......creative differences......etc etc
Perhaps they shouldn't have released "Let It Be", cause it was tired sounding for the Beatles, but yet, their classic sound, the reason I fell in love with them in the first place, their vocals and harmonies were dripping off that vynal. And Johns offering, "Across the Universe" was such a fitting end and the "Long and Winding Road" let the public know, we just can't do it anymore, like your old tired dog, hobbling up to give you one last lick.
And yet The Long and Winding Road was a #1 hit. Much better song WITHOUT Phil specter’s syrupy treatment. It was never meant to sound that way.
Their last album was Abbey Road. Let it Be was almost an addendum to the White Album...
When all of the Beatles were done being the Beatles. Glad they broke up when they did. But they had a fantastic 8 years! 👍
😛The end of the Beatles with a video of The Beatles 😜
Let It Be was the last release but most of Abbey Road was recorded After Let It Be. Not the end.
The whole Abbey Road was recorded after LIB was.
i thought this was about the day John met Yoko?
The Beatles got out at the right time. They may have made one last great album but the bubble would have burst afterwards. Lets be honest by the mid-70's John and Georges solo albums weren't great. Only Paul managed to stay relevant with a new and younger pop audience throughout the 70s and after.
October is the 10th month ?
Sometimes.
Time is relative
Eternity is holy as a child LoL AQUARIUS
Hello everyone
Hello, Good-bye
Hello
Goodbye
You know you must us cry
‘Sup?
Yoko Ono did not break up the Beatles they broke up because they got tired of being sidemen for Paul
I actually prefer the Phil Spector version 😂
"He's Dead"
I know this will offend many, but I beg you to remember that it's only my opinion. It is certainly not the final word on the subject. To my taste, I feel that Phil specter ruined this album. I much prefer let it be naked. However, I however I did buy the Sheldon when it came out and enjoyed it then. So take that for what it's worth, which is not much.
I agree. I think the “naked” version was better
Amen to that!!!! I heard what was supposed to be the “Get Back” album on an AM radio station on a Sunday afternoon in September 1969 (literally a week before Abbey Road was released) and still have my hand written list of the running order of songs on sides one and two. They were amazing! No overdubs, no added strings or horns - just bass, rhythm, lead guitars, keyboards and drums. No Phil Spector walk of sound stuff. I was fortunate enough to find a bootleg album back in 1977 with the same songs and 21:33 nearly the same running order as what I heard in 1969. I Me Mine and Across the Universe were not on it but Don’t Let Me Down was.
BTW, I totally respect the amazing work that Phil Spector did with records in the 1960’s but NOT on the Let It Be album.
I've never enjoyed this one. I get what they were going for, but the production stands out like a sore thumb and makes me appreciate Martin even more. I like "I've Got a Feeling" and "Get Back", but it's just a bit of a mess overall. Including "Dig It", "Maggie Mae" and "One After 909" on your final album. Yikes.
😛The end of the Beatles, ' Imagine ' that I wonder if you can ?
No wonder its not a great album it was recorded before abbey rd
Everything was before Abbey Road.
@@shawnkennedy855 exactly
@@eancurtis9333 Gotcha
I remember well the demise of The Beatles. Like everyone else, I was a huge fan and bought everything they did growing up. But what they became toward the end was not what they started out as. They had lost their magic. You could tell the music wasn’t the same and their bad attitudes seeped through. I didn’t even bother to buy the Let It Be album. They had lost their luster by then, and I think the average fan felt that way. Their music was on the outs and many newer artists and groups were taking their place.
Their last album was Abbey Road.
They went out on top.
@@abc456f: Abbey Road was released in 1969, while Let It Be was released in 1970, and it’s the one that got mostly negative reviews because it wasn’t up to their usual standards.
@@pocopico7409 Abbey Road was recorded last. So it's considered their last work.
@@abc456f: And the last album to be released was Let It Be. Except for a couple of songs, it sucked. That’s why I didn’t buy it. But their weakness was already showing with albums as early as the white album. And yes, Abbey Road had some weak ones as well. It was basically them getting lazy and not finishing songs, so they stuck them all together and it just so happened to be interesting. They got lucky.
Let it Be wasn't the end of the Beatles Abbey Road was recorded.
It's mentioned several times.
😂!
Let it be was NOT the Beatles last album, Abbey Road was, please get it right
to be honest i would have much more preferred to actually listen to the original video audio than someone talking over it all .:(
Phil Spector compiled a very short album - & 2 of those tracks (Dig It, Maggie Mae) should NEVER have been used!!!! Why he left off Lennon's best song - Don't Let Me Down - makes NO SENSE AT ALL !! This should have been included along with another 2 or 3 fairly complete recordings - to make a better album.
Phil Spectre did a good job and all
But unfortunately, he's not that good of a person 😬😬
So listen to all that drama just to get some music out. Crazy group dynamics. I’m not impressed with their fame. Because , they didn’t see it coming. I’m more impressed with people,like Elvis and MICHAEL and James Brown Fame. That’s the reason why he didn’t see it coming when Michael Jackson purchased their publishing. How BAD did Paul WANTED IT..Look what he did in the end. He put it out there that he was going on without the Beatles. Betrayed by the guy who met John after the first gig of The QUARRYMEN.
The narrative starts with a lie.
Hi my name is Nick David Hagen is there any women out there
"One After 909" was pretty bad. It should have been left in the dustbin of history. "Move over once, move over twice, come on honey don't be cold as ice." Ugh. Any 8th grader in America could have written that song.
Wrong. It's a great rock-type song.
And I think it worked a little better as straight eighths, as we heard in the snippets from the Anthology series.
