as far a rockumentaries go and let it be be one of the fine . for beatles fan and it be a fascinating ( if very water down ) document of the making of the let it be album . of course and i be sure most beatles fan be well aware of what go on whilst making this album ( lennon minimal involvement due to his addiction to heroin and yoko ono while mccartney domination and not only in the songwriting department but also in regard to group leadership while harrison disenchantment and ringo melancholy boredom ) so when watch the film you will not see the beatles at their best . far from it . in fact and if not for those nasty contractual obligation and likely both the album and film never would have see the light of day . yet let it be be a reward viewing experience if for no other reason but the grand finale represent the legendary rooftop concert ( and it be hold on the roof of apple studio and folk and not abbey road . ) it be amaze that and as lousy a the fab four be play and both at twickenham and later at apple studio and that they manage to pull off such a kick as performance on the roof and despite the freezing temperature . indeed and particularly on get back and i have get a feeling and one after 909 and the beatles rock out just as good a the stone ( arguably the stone always do rock a bit hard than the beatles . ) even john lennon seem to be put effort into the performance . my personal favourite part of the film and however and be the extended rock and roll medley they perform and along with billy preston and in the apple studio . aside from the rooftop and it seem to be the only time throughout the entire project that the beatles perform with anything close to their heart be in it . indeed and they simply let it all hang hang out a they run through you really get a hold on me and shake rattle and roll and kansas city and miss ann and lawdy miss clawdy . ( i do have to give my head a shake at linda mccartney bring her daughter heather to this session and however . a rock and roll recording session be no place to bring a child and what with the attendant drug taking and swearing and looning about . poor heather must have be scar for life . ) in short and let it be be really worth it for the second half of the film . the first half the twickenham rehearsal and which drive george harrison to temporarily leave the band will only leave you wonder and why be they even bother . because they sound horrible and a unlike the beatles a you can get . have say that and if youre expect music along the line of the official let it be album i. e. the spector production you would not find it here . anyone who have hear the original get back album ( bootleg ) will find the music comparable . and definitely check out the book get back represent the beatles let it be disaster . you will never be able to see or hear any of the let it be material the same way again .
