Product Description
NTSC, Region 0 DVD:
The dissolution of the Fab Four is captured on camera in Michael Lindsay-Hogg's documentary, a filmed record of the sessions for what would become the Beatles' final release, Let It Be. (Abbey Road, cut shortly after these sessions, was in fact the group's final recording, but it was released a year before these often-delayed songs.) Included is footage shot at the famous rooftop concert that was the Fabs' final live appearance. The Beatles are shown rehearsing, performing, arguing, and recording and allow the cameras to record their every word and note in the recording studio. The film opens with Paul showing Ringo a piano composition, while the group is surrounded in silence, seemingly light years removed from the screaming hordes of fans that necessitated their withdrawal from performing live. Billy Preston later drops by to jam on keyboards. For this film, the Beatles collectively won an Oscar for "Best Original Film Score," their only Academy Award.

Let It Be November 15, 2009
Howard Morey
The DVD must have been from a film source as I remember seeing a print back in the 70's which looked and sounded similar. So not CD quality sound but enjoyable and very watchable. I do not understand why it is not remastered and re-released? Apart from Paul's scene with George which everyone has seen already the rest is OK.

I have been so interested in this Beatles' last movie. Thirty years ago I once met the Laser Disc of this film at a shop, but could not make up my mind to purchase it because it was so expensive. A few weeks later I visited the shop again to buy it, but I found it had gone! I had not seen it for so many years. However, I found this dvd at this store by accident. I was so glad to get another chance and ordered it right away this time.
The movie was so nice. Though the image was no so good or clear as shown in the dvd album "Anthology," it is good enough to enjoy. I was so impressed to see the last moment of the greatest rock group. Since I am not so good at spoken English, it is a little bit difficult for me to catch the conversation in a low voice. To my relief, the most part of this movie is wonderful Beatles' music! I recommend you try this dvd to witness the very important scene of the rock history.

I have an old bootleg copy of LET IT BE on VHS. The quality is not very good and some parts of the movie are missing. I was surprised to see the DVD on Amazon and thought it was probably a bootleg, because I was pretty sure it has never been officially released. I had low expectations for the quality but considering the great price, I took a chance and ordered it. I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the copy I received is very good. I recommend it to anyone who loves the Beatles. LET IT BE is a must see. True, parts of the movie are boring. but those parts are far overshadowed by the great performances during the second half. Buy it while you can!

Overall I was disappointed with this package. Not from a technical or audiophile perspective as much as from a pure Beatles Fan point of view. The sound bites and small-talk banter between the individual Beatles is interesting at first but begins to grate very quickly. The best part of this production is the "concert on the roof" at the very end and here is where I have the problem. It is TOO BRIEF and ends very abruptly with no fanfare or closing commentary. Nonetheless, as a Beatles Fan, I HAD to own this DVD.
