Quick Answer: Fans of the Beatles‘ restored Let It Be documentary can now watch it online on Disney+ or with a free trial to Hulu + Live TV.
Fifty-four years after it first got released back in May 1970, the Beatles’ legendary documentary Let It Be is getting the streaming treatment. Now available on Disney+, the doc, which was filmed in 1969, shows the Fab Four recording tracks in the studio — and, of course, the iconic rooftop concert, shortly before the band parted ways.
“Let It Be is an entirely different part of the Beatles’ story,” director Michael Lindsay-Hogg told Peter Jackson, who released the three-part docuseries Get Back in 2021 and helped restore the Let It Be doc, in a clip that premiered exclusively on Rolling Stone. “The Beatles that we’d grown up with were not the Beatles in Let It Be. They were changing.”
So, how can fans watch the latest version of the Beatles doc? There will be an answer — let’s let it stream.
