It was 52 years ago today, that The Beatles performed live, publicly for the last time. It was to be the finale of the film they were working on. We never saw it until 16 months later, when the Let It Be movie was released in May, 1970. (I enjoyed it so much, I sat through it twice the week it opened!!). Because of the pandemic, the planned August, 2020 theatrical release of the new Get Back film, was pushed back to August, 2021. If the footage that director Peter Jackson and Apple put out around the holidays, then the delay will be well worth the wait. I would love it to be a 4 hour film, but that is not likely. Perhaps there will be a lot of bonus footage if and when it is released to home video, hopefully in the fall. That would be something!!

Peace and Love,
Mark
