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. At almost eight hours long, it’s a feast for Beatles fans and probably too much for those who aren’t.
But if those Beatles fans were disappointed to see it end, they should make their way down to the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame where an immersive exhibit built around the film, titled The Beatles: Get Back to Let It Be, opens Friday March 18. It will let fans get inside the rehearsals, the studio and on that rooftop. There’ll 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.
In addition, fans will be able to see outfits, instruments and handwritten lyrics to song seen in the film, loaned by Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, and the estates of George Harrison and John Lennon.
