"The only way to remove those was to take whole songs out," Gilding explains. Within the remainder of the 40 minutes that were cut was music, as well. And the pieces we cut out, there was more exchange and intimacy between John & Yoko, which could look like they were in a separate world – which they were." Besides at least one song (unknown which) and some conversation, Brown had one specific note: "Too much John & Yoko." "I said, 'Well, I don't think so," and he said, 'Yeah, but I have had three phone calls this morning about that.' The thinking was that The Beatles were cohesive still, that John was still part of the group. And we had the Rooftop, which they were thrilled with." A celebratory dinner was held at a nearby restaurant, including Paul and Linda, John and Yoko, the director and his girlfriend, Jean, and Apple's Peter Brown.Ī few days later, though, Lindsay-Hogg received a call from Brown, listing suggested cuts that were desired. Attended by all four bandmembers and their spouses – George also brought his father, Harold – the group saw the 16mm projection, and, Lindsay-Hogg notes, "Everyone seemed quite happy with it, amazed that something had come out of it. The Making of The Beatles' Let It Be and Peter Jackson's Get Backįilm editorial continued through this period, until a 2-hour cut was completed, which was then shown to the band on J– the night Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon – at a screening room on Oxford Street in Soho.
