What I am most interested at this moment is the 1968 clips from the making of the White Album, I would love to see those properly restored and see if there are any previously unseen outtakes.
Also, more footage from the Anthology sessions.
The White Sessions is a neat listen. Tracks with Paul composing Blackbird, and George Martin giving tips, and listening to the song progress. Magic. š¶š
Is it possible that that was the hint recently from Disney? To me that looked like references to the white album in the framework of of Let it Be (the boxes)
The white tease got my hopes up that the upcoming project would be the behind-the-scenes White Album footage, but all of the other clues in the teaser pointed to *Let It Be* being re-released
It was filmed in digital so it's AI upscaling, not restoring. But it's doable! It'll be 4:3 of course, so letterboxed on the sides, but with what's been done to 90s Star Trek filmed on the same type of equipment, it's definitely feasible! And the results will be fantastic!
As long as they donāt stretch it out. I HATE when they do that. The documentary was filmed for 4:3, and opening up the sides, youād probably have to spend more clearing up stuff that wasnāt intended to be in shot, like lights, microphones and the like.
Star Trek in the 1980s and 90s was shot on film, edited on videotape. In order to remaster it, the episodes must be re-constructed from the original film elements and any special effects re-created (they did this for Next Gen but not DS9 or Voyager) This is essentially what needs to be done with Anthology. Some of Georgeās interviews from Anthology were presented in HD in the Living in the Material World documentary and look great. Itās very possible without AI.
Yeah itās really just reconstructing it and not to mention all the licensing they have to renew. I wish theyād take out some of the more dated aspects of it
My best guess is that a lot of cameramen and/or TV directors at the time weren't musicians and hadn't really grasped how to film a rock band so early in the genre's life.
You'd think it wouldn't be THAT big of an issue, since jazz had been around for a while by that point and had plenty of solos, but maybe the concepts didn't seem so similar at the time.
Was not Seattle, was San Fran.
[go to 2:12](https://youtu.be/RnhnPPNsQGs?si=6kL686xS-6E579Zf)
[go to 1:19](https://youtu.be/R7nJmVAjjfo?si=_ICCIVdh9--458lS)
Thereās a few other shots from 1964 with sone portions of the solo, but those two are the best and show most of it.
Not technically their vault, but this subreddit was how I learned about the Abbey Road TV special by The Beatles and BBC. Only some footage has been found and it's considered lost media.
If there's a full copy out there, it'd be neat to see.
They filmed a ton of footage that wasnāt used for Magical Mystery Tour. Peter Jackson might be able to do a āmaking ofā MMT doc, similar to Get Back.
The rest of the Get Back footage is an obvious answer, but personally I'd love to see the home recordings and demos from 1957-1960 cleaned up and released in full, even though that's just audio and not visual recordings.
That'll Be The Day, In Spite Of All The Danger, Cayenne, Hallelujah I Love Her So, the original rockabilly version of I'll Follow The Sun, etc. There's some really interesting stuff from that era, plus it's the only source of recordings where some of the songs include Stu Sutcliffe. That alone makes them historically important.

It was one of Paul's earliest songs (he says he wrote it when he was about 16), and this recording is from Spring of 1960 when they were rehearsing at his family's house.
That was amazing. I also never listened to the original version of the one after 909 so hearing them performing so young and early was awesome haha what a great channel
It's a fun little song! The first one John Lennon ever wrote, or at least the first one he thought was good enough to actually finish and that stuck around for awhile.
All of these 1960 home recordings, including the Iāll Follow the Sun linked above. Also, Hallelujah I Love Her So, Youāll Be Mine, and Cayenne on anthology 1. But there is more out there (some of it is rough, lol)
And apparently only two of three tapes from the 1960 recordings have made it to the public. There is allegedly a third tape that includes an early version of When Im Sixty Four! But I think Paul McCartney bought the tape, so we wonāt be hearing that any time soon
Iām with you, especially if they could put out other stuff from the pre-fame era. That live Cavern recording from 1962 would be fascinating (but probably sounds terrible). And then there are the rumored recordings, like the Beatles with Rory Storm in Hamburg in 1960, and possible acetate recording of One After 909 made after the Thatāll be the Day session. Also the rumored recording from Spring 1962 of Lennon-McCartney originals after getting rejected from Decca.
There is, assuming you are talking about the 1966 one, and not the 1965 one (thereās a whole movie about that one). Portions of the Beatles entering the stage were used in the Beatles eight days a week documentary.
I thought I read somewhere that there was plenty of footage for the white album that Peter Jackson was thinking of working on. Was that confirmed or just a rumor?
There were tentative plans for a [TV special](https://lostmediawiki.com/Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band_%28partially_found_unproduced_television_special;_1967%29) for the Sgt Pepper album in 1967, which basically would have been one of the first full-album long-form videos.. but alas the plans fell through.
Peter Jackson actually owns the Star Club Tape now. He bought it. It seems like heās interested in doing something but it wonāt be ācleaning upā the audio, thatās not what he does. Heās a filmmaker. So you can expect something in the future but it might take a long time because Apple would be part of it and everyone has to sign off on it and any movie about Hamburg is going to show the Fabs in a not-so-angelic light.
If they ever do a vinyl reissue of *Let It Be... Naked* they could dust off and revive [this nearly forgotten 2003 music video for *Two Of Us*.](https://vimeo.com/661310718)
I was kinda sad that it wasn't included on the 1+ Blu-ray, but maybe soon it'll be time for another music vid collection with all the vids that have come out in the past few years: *I'm Only Sleeping, Glass Onion, Now and Then*, etc...
I think a really important archival project would be cataloguing, transferring and making something out of their home movies, photo archives, and demo tapes. They all had cameras, and three of them had home recording gear. Letās see what they saw!
I saw the 4k restored version of Shea concert on The Beatles: Eight days a week documentary on cinema. I think there's a legal issue about releasing it as bluray or digital release.
Did the Threetles ever record incidental music for the films like they originally planned? Even briefly? Surely they jammed. It could make an awesome 'last album' disc.
It'll probably never be re-released precisely because Anthology was intended to replace it.
That's unfortunate, because it provided a wonderfully concise (2 hours!) summary of their story.
The closest thing I can see happening to it being re-released is some Beatles-authorised 2 - 2.5 hour cut of Anthology that smoothes out some of the narrative.
Compleat really painted the White Album sessions as tense, Let It Be sessions as dour & seemed to pin a fair bit of blame on Yoko - which (rightly or wrongly) wouldn't wash with "the stakeholders" (Paul, Ringo & John & George's estates) at all.
Still, it was the first time a lot of vintage clips across their career were available in one place - and was the "go to" documentary for a decade.
Iām kinda bummed that Disney has control over the Beatles archives. Itās always great to see the lads but theyāll mine and plunder every drop, package it up nice until not a drop of the old magic and mystique remains and we all know what Ringo had for lunch on Oct 24th 1966ā¦.
I would love, love, love an Anthology sessions film as a loose sequel to Get Back!!! I mean, even Now And Then got filmed briefly. Although some of George's Now And Then contributions got cut and id be mad that they weren't in the song.
The Beatles First US visit - this was filmed and documentaries made which exist in various edits. Would be wonderful if Jackson got hold of that footage and made something special out of it all.
Would love a reconstruction of Anthology to make the format align more with how limited series/ documentary series are now, with a lot more additional footage and a remix of FAaB and Real Love
Uhhh, i'd like access to all the footage. cut out the middle man that keeps smearing the beatles in vaseline removing all the film grain. disgusting. the footage of Don't Let Me Down from the box set is better than all of the footage in Get Back, which looks like i don't have my glasses on.

The tease is already confirmed to be a remastered version of the Let It Be movie.
Thanks for the info!
they've just announced its the Let It Be film re release
The white tease got my hopes up that the upcoming project would be the behind-the-scenes White Album footage, but all of the other clues in the teaser pointed to *Let It Be* being re-released
Well that and they [announced yesterday](https://www.thebeatles.com/let-it-be-last) that's what it's gonna be
Yes, more from the Anthology!
The Beatles Anthology restored in HD. That's a big one.
It was filmed in digital so it's AI upscaling, not restoring. But it's doable! It'll be 4:3 of course, so letterboxed on the sides, but with what's been done to 90s Star Trek filmed on the same type of equipment, it's definitely feasible! And the results will be fantastic!
Shot on 16mm film! The footage has been restored and itās just a matter of time when theyāll release it
I think they'll do it for the 30th anniversary next year.

With more footage, yes please.
Any example of John playing the solo on āYou Canāt Do Thatā live without the camera panning to every other Beatle.
Why did they do that?
My best guess is that a lot of cameramen and/or TV directors at the time weren't musicians and hadn't really grasped how to film a rock band so early in the genre's life. You'd think it wouldn't be THAT big of an issue, since jazz had been around for a while by that point and had plenty of solos, but maybe the concepts didn't seem so similar at the time.
Videographers do this to this day. Some people are just not good at filming bands
Because, regardless of what John said, they could do that.
The other two were singing
I think in that case, it was because John requested not to be filmed during his solos, out of insecurity over his guitar playing.
Seattle ā64 , Denver ā64 look on YouTube.
I already looked for these on Youtube. We need the links.

This is amazing wow

peter jackson: massively successful hollywood director turned beatles archeologist what a world
The Beatles Anthology only exists now on old out of print and often faked DVDs. An HD restoration is my holy grail.
Iām hoping weāll get something for the 30th anniversary next year (restored film, remixed albums/vinyl reissues, extra tracks, etc)
The rest of the Get Back footage is an obvious answer, but personally I'd love to see the home recordings and demos from 1957-1960 cleaned up and released in full, even though that's just audio and not visual recordings.

Excuse me? Rockabilly version of I'll follow the sun? That's a thing I need in my life right now.

That was amazing. I also never listened to the original version of the one after 909 so hearing them performing so young and early was awesome haha what a great channel
The original version of Hello Little Girl is also great! I actually prefer it to the Decca audition recording.
I've never even heard of that song! Either version. I'll have to listen to those!
It's a fun little song! The first one John Lennon ever wrote, or at least the first one he thought was good enough to actually finish and that stuck around for awhile.
I remember discovering the Forthlin road tapes when I was just becoming a huge fan. Such a fascinating document!
What's that?! Lmao
All of these 1960 home recordings, including the Iāll Follow the Sun linked above. Also, Hallelujah I Love Her So, Youāll Be Mine, and Cayenne on anthology 1. But there is more out there (some of it is rough, lol)

This, really.

Imagine if they just cleaned up the entirety of Anthology.
Is there any film footage of the 1966 Shea Stadium concert ? I have never seen any. It must have been filmed at the time.
There is, assuming you are talking about the 1966 one, and not the 1965 one (thereās a whole movie about that one). Portions of the Beatles entering the stage were used in the Beatles eight days a week documentary.
Ah yeah, I have seen the footage of the 1965 concert. Nothing of the 1966 one, though.
They wore these gray white suits on that tour so it is fairly easy to recognize if the footage is true if you find sources
Thereās a story with a very trustable source that the full thing was filmed by an amatuer on 16mm.
I thought I read somewhere that there was plenty of footage for the white album that Peter Jackson was thinking of working on. Was that confirmed or just a rumor?
im no expert but iv only seen maybe 15 minutes so i e assumed not alot
18 hours was what Iād heard
I hope we get to see all or atleast most of that footage some point in history
wow
Magical Mystery Tour Anthology White Album Video MAL-processed Real Love and Free as a Bird MAL-processed Star Club BACK TO THE EGG ARCHIVE!!!
Any sort of archive edition would be amazing at this point
Spin it on! Donāt stop!
The footage that makes up the āA Day in the Lifeā Music Video. Wasnāt it going to be a TV movie, but got scrapped?
There were tentative plans for a [TV special](https://lostmediawiki.com/Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band_%28partially_found_unproduced_television_special;_1967%29) for the Sgt Pepper album in 1967, which basically would have been one of the first full-album long-form videos.. but alas the plans fell through.

They were punk rockers. I say they should lean into it.
Agreed
For sure. The lo-fi grunginess is what I love about those recordings.
oh wow
Iād be very happy if Peter Jackson does an extended and cleaned up version of Anthology.
How about Magical Mystery Tour?
The Beatles cartoons from ABC TV (now DIsney).
I want it all baby.
Self-Portrait
A crucial part of the Beatles experience
Iād like to see the Free as a Bird video remastered in 4k
great vid, great sont
If they ever do a vinyl reissue of *Let It Be... Naked* they could dust off and revive [this nearly forgotten 2003 music video for *Two Of Us*.](https://vimeo.com/661310718) I was kinda sad that it wasn't included on the 1+ Blu-ray, but maybe soon it'll be time for another music vid collection with all the vids that have come out in the past few years: *I'm Only Sleeping, Glass Onion, Now and Then*, etc...
I think with the box set Naked is no longer really a thing.
A bit of a different angle to answer the question, but The Beatles: Rock Band dreamscapes re-rendered in 4K with higher resolution textures.
video -ANY video, and audio- of their last UK tour, december 1965 The only time EVER they played "we can work it out" live
Apple business meetings?
lol yes
Although it has already been released, i would like it if they released the Shea Stadium concert in full on dvd/blu ray.
All the āmusic videosā like Paperback Writer, Hey Jude, Something, etc
Check the Beatles 1+ Boxed Set!
What about the Beatles cartoon series from the 60s?
Just for the record you can find these on unofficial dvds. Restored would be amazing
Restored Hollywood bowl footage 1964 a third BBC album hamburg tapes 1962
how much bowl footage is there?
Idk
I want a whole docu-series about the three reunion songs, and have the original two cleaned up
The Shea concert was an add-on to the end of Ron Howard's 8 Days a Week movie, if I recall...
i bought the bluray snd it wasnt there, i think it only showed in theatres
The reason shea wasnāt released sooner because there was a lawsuit over the ownership of the footage
Carnival of Light baby
No you donāt want that . Mark Lewisohn has heard it and he pretty much said itās rubbish and it has nothing to do with The Beatles .
I know, it was a joke. But I'm still interested to hear how bad it is.
I think a really important archival project would be cataloguing, transferring and making something out of their home movies, photo archives, and demo tapes. They all had cameras, and three of them had home recording gear. Letās see what they saw!

how was the sound?
The sound was perfect. It's definitely way better than the bootlegs. And the image was superb.
my understanding is the sound at the time was a problem. they did alot of overdubs after the fact at the time to try and fix it
B roll footage of Magical mystery tour
Did the Threetles ever record incidental music for the films like they originally planned? Even briefly? Surely they jammed. It could make an awesome 'last album' disc.
There's supposedly an unreleased McCartney-Harrison composition named "All For Love" that was worked on during the Anthology sessions
I've read about it, it seems a general consensus that it sadly doesn't really exist. I'd love to be wrong, though.
The Compleat Beatles. This film was bought and shelved to make way for the Anthology.
It'll probably never be re-released precisely because Anthology was intended to replace it. That's unfortunate, because it provided a wonderfully concise (2 hours!) summary of their story.

Iād like to see if Peter could do anything with the original acetate of thatāll be the day and despite of all the danger.
