Do you know about a bootlegged and extended version of almost 10 hours?

and How to purchase such musical jewel?

I await for you,the real fans,please,please me.

Doesn't exist except in audio. What is bootlegged is the original movie and maybe 1-2 hours of additional poor-quality footage of them playing "Get Back" rehearsals and such.

On the other hand, there's over 80 hours of session material available from the Nagra tape recorders, which were used to make the film. This was released largely on the original Yellow Dog (bootlegger) Day by Day series. At the present time, the best source for this is probably Purple Chick's A/B Road series, which presents the material in a nicer and more complete way.

Wow, it would probably take me a year to watch all of that, lol.

I knew about such version a long time ago,10 hours with Lennon singing
"Yesterday",but if you talk about more than 80 hours,then you may refer
about the hard work to Phil Spector to save such confused but extraordinary
material,therefore EMI/Capitol may release a "Let it be:Anthology"!with
several DVDs in the same way as "Anthology" 95-96,bootlegs are not solutions
in times where the digital sound is needed.

Hours and hours(audio & video) of the Fab 4 would be a great joy to all of us:the fans!

There's plenty of footage circulating in bootleg circles. These include the band performing an impromptu "Octopus' Garden" with Ringo on piano and John on drums, John imitating Yoko's primal scream, the band joking around with "Help!" and "Please, Please Me" and a lot more. Most of this stuff is in b/w and incomplete, but the dates are all well known, so with a bit of chronology, one would be able to assemble a much longer cut.

Thanks for your awesome dates!John on drums!the only chance is "www.youtube.com",if you can get such jewels or anyone you know,please send to that link those videos,EMI won´t release in an easy way those rarities,don´t trust them.

Most of those versions of the oldies are a bit anemic but fortunately not all. I have personally grown quite tired of all bootlegged Get Back/Let It Be material, but it's the Beatles so..
