Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary series The Beatles: Get Back has attracted a lot of attention, discussion and debate, and revised some long-standing beliefs about the Beatles’. It depicts the band’s recording sessions for their Let It Be album, as well as their legendary final performance on a London rooftop in January 1969, showing some footage for the first time, largely unused footage from the 1070 documentary of the same name.
Recently the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame opened immersive exhibit built around the film, titled The Beatles: Get Back to Let It Be. It lets fans get inside the rehearsals, the studio and on that rooftop. There’s be audio, film clips, photos and projections. Three screening rooms will show footage from the documentaries three locations: Twickenham, Apple Studios, and the Apple Corps rooftop, as well as outfits, instruments and handwritten song lyrics.
This weekend, the Rock Hall celebrates the film and the exhibit with its Beatles Weekend. It opens with a very special event on Thursday April 7: a Rock Hall Nights featuring producer Glyn Johns, who engineered the Get Back session, signing Get Back books and Sirius XM’s Volume hosts Alan Light and Mark Goodman hosting their show Debatable live at the Rock Hall from 4-7pm. A live band will be playing Beatles covers on the first floor stage and there’ll be activities such as Beatles trivia and designing your own Beatles album cover. Archivists will be there to share some of the Beatles stuff that’s in the Rock Hall Archives. Admission is $21.
Special Beatles activities will be taking place all day Saturday April 9 and Sunday April 10, including in regular admission.
