The Beatles: Get Back - The Rooftop Concert

The most unforgettable 'one-hour plus' live-concert that took us back to The Beatles' era. Peter Jackson used split-screen effectively to capture natural reactions from seemingly random audience. Each members lit up the screen with their own persona.

....it ended too soon!!! I would have gladly sat through another hour of concert footage. Especially loved the short historical intro to the band and how their career led to this moment.

...makes you wish that they'd played more concerts together. I love the interaction with Paul and John; the two very much out in front and centre of the band.

What a fabulous voice Paul had and possibly has. And what a live wire and joker John was. And of course the music, but so few songs! Get Back is repeated three times (hard to believe they hadn't rehearsed any more), plus maybe three others.

I enjoyed the crowds peeking and gathering below in the 60s London of mini skirts and city gents, and the London bobbies who are probably embarrassed to this day.

But even at 65 minutes it's hard to get past the feeling that there is lots of filler material inserted with this film.

However I'm glad I saw it, being someone who is old enough to have listened to the Beatles at the time. Can't wait to see the Peter Jackson series.

As a lifelong Beatles fan this is a dream come true to see old pictures from the 1970s come to life in great cinema quality with all the back stories on how the famous "Beatles Rooftop Concert" came to be! It is truly amazing that 53 years later the songs still sound great and that the Beatles still look cool! To me this was by far the best part of the Peter Jackson 7 hours "Get Back" footage, this final rooftop video concert is what really matters! Just one little tidbit of information, this "Beatles Rooftop Concert" was filmed in London, England at 12:30pm on Thursday, January 30, 1969 the weather that day was 45°F and cold! -Brad Pyner.

Isn't it a crazy feeling when you still have appreciable energy for the band who doesn't even exist anymore?

I thank for these legendary, I've been spending my whole times by listening to them. Oh, Beatles.
