Dear Peter, Please release all 56 hours after the documentary comes out. Signed, Everyone in the whole world

The six best minutes this year has to offer.

3:51 John and Paul dancing together in the studio is just absolute magic.

What's so wonderful about this footage, is that I'm NOT seeing the end of the world as we know it, but we're seeing a group of VERY talented musicians having the a great time and great fun practicing their craft! The Beatles may have been moving toward the break up of the band, but NOT the break up of their music!

"this isn't a trailer" my man this is better than a trailer

“This is not a trailer” Releases best footage reel ever.

I DO try - honestly. But no matter what, whilst watching this, a little tear silently appears as I remember good old times in the 60's with hippiedom and this incomparable group. What unfathomable joy they brought to millions. Thank you Mr Jackson.

60 yrs later and this is still the benchmark of a great rock and roll band... Hands down !

Regular public: "Oh a 2 hour documentary about the Beatles, nice..." Beatles fans: "freaking release all 56 hours of footage already!"

Thought instantly coming to every true Beatles' fan minds: "Why not just make a 56 hour movie?"

I was a labourer on a building site in Cavendish Square in London that day. Harley St ran right off Cavendish Sqare and all of a sudden we began to hear The Beatles singing and playing..It was surreal...! A few years prior, I had seen them in Auckland Town Hall, sat just behind Ringo in the choir stalls...magic, very short set and couldn't hear a thing for screaming...! magic!

There will never be a band like them, not now and not in 100 years. They pulled from every genre known at the time, and they were also somehow ahead of their time…

"It's not a trailer" If that's not a trailer then it's the best damn not-trailer I've ever seen.

Just release the full 56 hours; we will buy it.

When I see the Beatles in such a good mood I can’t believe it was written so bitter in the relationship between them. They are forever in my heart.

The profound effect that the Beatles and their music had on society cannot be overstated.

🙌🍏

Good to see a film that put a positive spin on their relationship....and you could tell most of it was genuine appreciation of each other's talent and friendship.

This made me burst into tears. The joy of those days. I wish I could "get back" myself. I was a young woman then and it was the BEST time to be a young person!!!!

I'm 62 years old and this is the best Christmas gift I've ever received.

This guy is sitting on the holy grail of the Beatles...I wish I was there on that rooftop that day

That time period in the Beatles' history is famous for them coming undone, not getting along and basically marking the beginning of the end. Nice to see them looking so happy and enjoying themselves.

Damn, the restoration on this is astonishing. You'd think it was a brand new period piece, not actual archive footage.

I see Beatles, I click immediately. Holy crap the montage I’m watching it the first second it’s out

seeing one of the most revered songwriters of all time stick his knees up his t-shirt and jump around like a goblin is just amazingly surreal

Our brothers! We knew them, didn’t we? Love forever to the band that changed the world.

Aww, Paul's vocals were the best back then. So pure! ❤🎶

Jackson's prediction was an easy one: those 5 minutes surely have put a smile on zillions of faces. Mine included...

Absolute geniuses. We will never see anything like this again.

I have only watched EP1, and not a Beatles "fan" so to say. I think all of us who are rock and roll fans either are Beatles fans (at least partly) or certainly appreciate their contributions to the genre. I am one of the appreciators. I am 54 (almost 55) and IMO their music has always been part of life if you are at least as old or older than that. EP1 has had a profound impact me, so much so that I went out to the Apple Music Store and got all studio albums from the band and then promptly created a 75 song playlist of all songs that I either like or at some point have heard before... 75 - songs... that's the impact this band has had on music. Remember, I do not consider myself a fan and owned zero Beatles CDs prior. I did appreciate them more as solo artists than the Beatles as a whole and have a few songs by John, Paul and George in my music library prior to this, but not as a group. The series is extremely interesting. Getting this behind the scenes, intimate look at IMO the most influential band of all time's creative processes is, by itself, a reason to watch. To then see how they interact, care about and help each other is also quite wonderful. Its as if you're there, inside the makeshift studio watching the greatest R&R band of all time work their magic after having been thru Beatlemania and the transition of the summer of love (mid 60's) movement into what they became just before the breakup. It's also interesting to see John and Paul's obvious connections to each other and their craft and to see John in general at work and play within this context. Other than produced or selected news bits, how he was on a day to day basis, I had no clue. Immensely talented as are all four of them. And of course their sense of humor reigns supreme all the time. I recommend this to anyone who even has a slight interest in this band. It's very entertaining and insightful to how 4 of the most creative musical artists of all time got on with one another and crafted some of the most timeless music ever. Just watch it! Thanks Peter Jackson!

Nice to see the great Billy Preston on electric piano. Like John and George he too is missed.

I'm a simple woman. Seeing John and Paul dancing made me cry.

Seeing Paul and John dance together... Made my end of the year so much better

So disappointing that no theater exhibition will take place! It would take the Beatle experience to a whole new level!!

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And 50 long years, the truth  passed out of all knowledge.” 😍

This is the only six minutes of 2020 that are actually enjoyable.

When Perter Jackson said he hoped it would bring a smile to our faces...he knew damn well it would. Best 5:51 of the entire year

The first time I found a Beatles album in my mom’s record collection in the attic, I heard ‘A Day in the Life’. To this day, that song gives me goosebumps. I wanted to be there, at that time, with those people. None of the footage or documentaries have been able to catch that for me, but this absolutely does. We are right there with them. Today we write our own history, making music. But this sense of creating, of endless possibilities, of being of your time and expressing, definitely started with those sounds for me. So beautiful. Thank you 🙏

Oh dear God... What a gift this film is to us older 1st generation Beatles fans! Thank you! Have been a fan since day 1 in 1964. Ed Sullivan. Changed our world for 58 years now. This could have been 20 hours and we all would have watched the whole thing and STILL wanted more!!..... I cried many times while watching...

This short sequence shows that the "Get Back/Let it be" sessions weren't all doom and gloom and in fighting that the media have tried to portray since 1970. Just seeing John and Paul dancing together and the facial expressions when they looked at each other you just know they would always love each other

First off that's the most clearest 50 year old footage ever. It looks as if they are here now.

I don’t think people give enough credit to the genius work of Peter Jackson in the “Now and Then” music video. The most dignified possible work anyone could have produced as a farewell and legacy to the greatest band ever! So much credit is still due to Peter Jackson for such masterpiece!

To many of us, The Beatles are the only best friends we'll ever need or have.

THIS FOOTAGE IS AMAZING I CANT BELIEVE IT HOLY SHIT

More Smiles in this 6 minute sneak peek than the entire Let It Be movie

According to the people who have written books on the band and the 4 guys themselves , these were miserable sessions but judging from these scenes , their general demeanour and body language suggests they are having a great time

I think the best part of the preview is seeing the guys enjoying making music together. Although we all know there were hard times, seeing this reminds us all that these four men were remarkable and had fun together.

They must have hated all of the cameras around at the time, but damn this is history now. Thank God for this footage

The shot of John and Ringo walking away with their arms around each other really got to me

I like the way the song Get Back starts. It’s something like a single multicolored scarf is pulled out of a hat and within a second or two the single scarf becomes hundreds of multicolored scarves with some invisible wind blowing on them with this infectious rhythm And anybody who listens is swept up and carried away. resistance is futile until they take you back to a gentle landing.

Every time I feel sad or just want some inspiration, I watch this. Lifelong Beatle fan, just visited Abbey Road Studios and Liverpool for the first time in Sept. Hallowed ground to me. Love it, can't wait, thank you so much Peter Jackson for doing this and doing it right!! Sending love to all of you from Chicago!

I definitely agree that they should have just made a 56 hour movie released in parts. We would all watch it. It's not like we don't have the time, especially in COVID times. No other band has come close or ever will so might as well let us immerse ourselves, completely.

As a 67 year old fan, it’s hard for me to “imagine” being so excited in anticipation for something coming out that was 50+ years old when I was 17. That’s WW1 era!!! They are forever!!!

What a trip! Thank-you Peter. Time machine back to ‘69. Four lads creatively trying to continue their musical journey without their manager’s guidance and discipline while two of them yearn to spread their wings beyond the bands’ confines while Paul leads and tries to hold the entire thing together. Fascinating intimate personal look into this unravelling group of very talented friends and their creative process. John and Yoko were very unfairly cast as villains at the time by the media. Billy literally saved the day - Fabulous.

I've watched this and it's a work of pure genius. Watching the beatles crafting there art is amazing. The tunes just come out of no where. The genuis of the beatles still fascinates the world. Long live the beatles

The incredible Billy Preston on keyboards for Get Back.

seeing a comment from Paul on here was pretty shocking... it's like if Zeus himself left a comment on a documentary about ancient Greece

The influence of The Beatles cannot be overstated. So many firsts in the music. Look to the greats in classical music such as JS Bach, WA Mozart and S. Rechmaninoff who were both outstanding artists both in composition and performance. The Bealtes were such in Rock.

When I first saw this, I thought of how fun being in a band looked, just from the behind the scenes, and now as I am in a band, I can confirm that it is, even if we aren’t the Beatles

The charisma of these guys is just leaping off the screen.

Who would’ve thought that 51 years after the Beatles broke up, it would be an incredible time to be a fan of them

Their smiles and joking around with each other are priceless. Billy Preston was such a great pianist, his contribution was huge. I find myself crying while watching this for many reasons. This footage is wonderful and it's good to know they were enjoying their friendships right up until the end of the band. I think they were more like brothers.

The Beatles came along at just the right time. The country was still morning the assassination of Kennedy, the Vietnam war was escalating, and here comes these funny, mop headed lads from Liverpool, who's music was so tight & catchy, it sort of took our minds off of the bad stuff around us. For me, it still does.

These six minutes were already better than the original doc.

I have to admit, this montage made this grown man tear up. It was so cool seeing these twenty year old legends acting their age while making timeless masterpieces. Bonus: the footage looking like it was recorded yesterday. Thank you Peter Jackson and thank you to the people who had the presence of mind to film these sessions and save them.

All four Beatles had amazing smiles. I’m glad we actually got to see those smiles a LOT in this documentary. These young men are a pedigree group we will never see the likes of ever again! Thank you Peter Jackson for a more complete perspective of their dynamic at this time :)

I remember back to the first time I saw the video for "Real Love". It was as if the scent of Heaven filled the room and time stopped for those brief few minutes. My mind could not completely assimilate what I had just witnessed. The passage of time has not dulled that sensation and, each time I hear the music it is the sweetest of all forms of deja vu.

Linda and Yoko chatting was probably the biggest myth-dispelling scene.

Holy crap The Beates were actually real people, doing actual real people things

I would happily pay to see a 56 hour Beatles movie.

Nobody is or will be able to create magic like these four lads.

Just finished watching all three parts straight through.THANK YOU PETER!!!!!Get Back is such a wonderful documentary.The magic ,blood,sweat,angst, joy,bliss, and even silliness of the beatles creating their art was just a joy and a gift to see.The beatles,their families,and all their fans(new and old) will be smiling long after the screen goes dark..And Heather was a total delight! This documentary tells a story filled with the love of artists,love for their art,and love for one another.

John swinging his coat off as he's carrying a cup of tea and spinning in a circle is a total mood

They seem just like a bunch of kids having fun. These vibes tho.

One of the best documentaries ever made. Everything I ever wanted and more.

The joy that causes out of these images is overwhelming ! We miss them, thanks God Paul and Ringo are still with us

This is the best middle finger to 2020 I could ever have imagined. THANK YOU Peter Jackson!

Holy shit the quality of the footage is insane. Best way to end this shitty year

they have made so much JOY, and HAPPINESS over the yrs... SMILES

You know what really lifts this song? Just listen to that badass keyboard solo. Dam it's funky!

Kiwi Santa giving us Beatles for Christmas is all I’ve ever wanted.

This looks as joyful as the original documentary was depressing.

I've watched this clip so many times it's ridiculous. I just can't wait for the final movie to come out. Thank you Peter jackson

Thanks, Peter Jackson for such a beautiful reminder of the Beatles together. Such a nice feeling of warmth.

The transfer of this footage looks AMAZING. Like it was shot yesterday.

This brought tears to my eyes. This is utter immortalisation. You are all looking at the 1960s, exactly as they were, right there in the moment. It's not black and white, it's not grainy, it's not marred by watermarks from archival associations who happen to own the footage; it looks like it was recorded yesterday. This is pure history, and two of these four legends of music have long since departed this mortal coil.

it's so difficult to believe that, what, 6 years before this video the world was just hearing of this group.

Brings tears to the eyes , i remember so well, wish we could get back there.

The World needs The Beatles now more than ever

This is so puzzling. This is the exact opposite of everything we saw in "Let It Be". There's more smiling in this couple of minutes than in the entire LIB movie.

So wonderful to see the guys joking around, having fun, and they are obviously such great friends, supporting and hugging each other.

Thank you Peter Jackson. He's painting a masterpiece with old Beatles footage as his brushes.

50 years after they break up... They still generate more excitement than any band or artist of the current era.

R.I.P. Billy Preston June 6, 2006, one of several "Fifth" Beatles.

A tear came to my eye watching this. I was 8 years old when Meet the Beatles came out. I played it non-stop. Happy to say I still have that vinyl. I cannot wait for this!!!!

I loved that rooftop concert but most of all, their playing with each other and antics. They were so much fun. They were so unique. They were my era and I'm 75 now and a grammy!

George on drums. Ringo on bass. Paul on a rope. John in a shirt. This should be good.

The Beatles career is so amazing that people forget that it only lasted less than 7 years and the guys were in their 20’s. These 4 were truly musical geniuses.

The feeling of gratitude is immense. Thank you Peter Jackson for taking the time to go through all that footage. You're a damn fine curator!

These were troubled times for the band so I love to see them smiling ❤️🙌🏻🍏
