Lennon’s ‘Child Of Nature’ – later rewritten as ‘Jealous Guy’ – was introduced on this day as ‘On The Road To Marrakesh’. He sang two verses, with Harrison joining in several places. Its presence here served to highlight the dry spell Lennon was undergoing as a songwriter; the song had been written in India more than six months previously. For the next several months, a clear pattern emerged: The release of the album was delayed because the movie was hung up. And in the sleeve notes on the 2019 remixed anniversary boxed set of Abbey Road, it clearly says “In 1973, the vocal group New York City dropped in pictures of themselves on another of Iain Macmillan’s pictures from The Beatles’ session for their own record, Soulful Road.” So, this photo was probably taken on the same day, but without anyone crossing the road. The members of New York City were photographed elsewhere and then superimposed on Macmillan’s shot of the empty crossing. PHOTO #8 Lennon then played a solo version of ‘Dig A Pony’, before improvising a song known as Everybody Got Song. Harrison put forward another, ‘Let It Down’, which was eventually recorded for the All Things Must Pass triple album. The article prompted a further response, a phone call from fellow director — and father, as he later learned — Orson Welles, who asked Michael if he was happy with Let It Be.

Once we were everyone’s darlings,” George said in an interview published by AP. “But it isn’t like that anymore. They hate us.”

John and Yoko joined Rolling Stone chief Jann Wenner and his wife, Jane, for a showing Let It Be at a sparsely attended theater in San Francisco in the early part of June 1970. Lennon and Harrison were the first to arrive, the former with his then-girlfriend Yoko Ono. As they tuned their guitars, the musicians played snippets of ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ and ‘All Things Must Pass’. Both attempted to play along with each others’ songs, and were joined by a recently-arrived Ringo Starr on drums during a version of Don’t Let Me Down. Kevin Harrington: Two years, ’68 to 70. It was two years of an incredible time for my life, 18 to 20 years old. I’m very proud to have done what I did. I’m really honored to have been invited into that small unit when I was and be welcomed in. I was an outsider, so I’m proud that I was invited into their inner circle and spent two years with them and I had a great time as well. The article was memorable enough for Michael that he remembered his reaction to it decades later in his book.
Something About the Beatles: 239: Get Back to Kevin
Describing his time with the band, Harrington said: “First of all you’re in charge of setting up the equipment. Early July 1969: The Beatles Book reported the release of the album and a companion book would be delayed because “the fellows would like the film to go on television in August so that everything comes together at the same time.” Kevin Harrington: To me, it wasn’t loud at all. When you’re on the roof and you’ve got a band playing, for people not used to it, it’s loud. I didn’t think it was loud because I was used to it. I’m used to being right next to these twelve-inch speakers. It was a bit chilly but it wasn’t especially cold for me but I was young then. [laughs] I would have been 19. September 1969: After screening a new cut at some point this month, the group signed off on the film to business manager Allen Klein, according to Michael. In what could simply be a coincidence, the same month also saw John announce to the others that he was quitting the Beatles. They released Abbey Road in September, too.When Let It Be was first shown to the public, on May 13, 1970, there was no glitz or red carpet. Instead the film was screened in ordinary theaters dotting the United States, not at a promoted premiere in New York as Apple had initially promoted. From Macmillan’s transparency, a dye transfer print was made using separation negatives, (you end up with a set of three pin registered matrixes, magenta,cyan and yellow, which are then individually placed on top of a print to transfer the 3 colours that make up the Dye Transfer). But it certainly wasn’t a breakup of the band. Perhaps given the death of Brian Epstein and what happened on The White Album they’re aware that they’re probably reaching the end of this creative road they’re on. If Let It Be was this huge acrimonious breakup, they wouldn’t have done Abbey Road and certainly John and Paul wouldn’t be singing “Two Of Us” sweetly to each other. [laughs] I] was surprised, or concerned, that what had seemed clear to me when I’d said it had been reported without insight, with no recognition of irony or jokes. The Beatles were portrayed only as argumentative people, without extenuation, without subtlety.
