What would be cool is if Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia start getting some tough questions from the Press on LIB.
The Press fawn over these people and if the LIB movie is asked about it is so meek and the Fab or Widow give some flippant remark and the journalist quickly moves on to the next banal topic.
I would follow-up before they go on to their favorite color:
"Wait a minute, do you know ______(insert name of Fab or Widow) that the hardcore fans out there, the people that support your lifestyle, want a cool, expansive LIB movie reissue with lots of bonus features? Do you realize that?
Do you not understand that these fans don't want distractions like LOVE and that waste of money crap film called All Together Now and all other minor, side projects?!
Why are you letting others make all of the money off LIB with illegal versions? What about MMT? What about the song promo videos?"
That's why I don't get to interview these people but I wish someone would question them hard on LIB. A great lead-off question would be, "Paul, why in the name of God is the LIB movie still not available commercially in the kind of quality we saw peeps of on Anthology? What's the hold up?
When I got tix for the Paul Ringo reunion at Radio City in 09, a friend of mine from another board actually printed me several black shirts with white bold letters "Put Let it Be Out Now." Though the two never saw it many did at the bar before the show including Mark Lapidos. Got a lot of comments. That was 09 so no one at Apple got the memo...
Did it have DVD or movie after the words "Let it Be" ? If not it was probably lost on a lot of people.
"Let it Be" on DVD . Well I don't think it's coming anytime soon. Be it in it's or original state plus extras or even the rooftop concert (in it's entirety) as some kind compromise for the fans.
Too many opportunities have been missed since the DVD format was introduced and as each year passes the interest will wane. It was rumoured to have been digitally re-mastered and ready for release in the late 90s. Then when "Let it Be Naked" came out the chance was missed again.
Personally I'd be happy with a "Making of" documentary as I said a long while ago here. But I'm beginning to doubt "Let it Be" will ever become available until there are no Beatles, no Beatle wives left alive. And even then then the children and grand children may still not agree.
Despite the "All Together Now" public displays between the Beatle families. There is still a lot of things that remain unresolved to this day. "Let it Be" appears to be a big one. And "Magical Mystery Tour" despite being available from time to time has never received a full re-master and re-package from Apple like the other 3 Beatles movies. I wonder why?
