CLEVELAND — If you haven’t had the opportunity to experience The Beatles: Get Back to Let It Be exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, you still have plenty of time.
That's because the Rock Hall confirmed the exhibit has been extended through 2023 due to “popular demand.”
“The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the only place in the world where fans experience one of the most iconic moments of the twentieth century as they step inside The Beatles’ January 1969 Let It Be rehearsals, studio sessions and legendary Apple Corps rooftop concert, the band’s final live performance,” Rock Hall officials said Thursday. “Opened in March 2022, this featured exhibition is an immersive complement to Peter Jackson's docuseries, The Beatles: Get Back.”
The exhibit shows how The Beatles composed and recorded many of their iconic songs from scratch.
“The exhibit's three screening rooms feature an exclusive selection of video footage from each location from the docuseries: Twickenham, Apple Studios and the Apple Corps rooftop,” the Rock Hall explains. “The footage from the recording sessions and conversations turns the clock back to 1969, showing the intimacy, joyousness and humor as The Beatles write and record songs for Let It Be and some songs featured on Abbey Road and future solo albums.”
Fans can also get a closer look at original instruments, clothing and handwritten lyrics used by The Beatles and seen in the film.
“The Beatles have had a massive, global impact across generations. We have already welcomed a diverse mix of over half a million fans from around the world to experience this exhibit,” said Greg Harris, Rock Hall President and CEO. “We remain grateful for the support of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison, Apple Corps Ltd., and Peter Jackson for helping us tell this important story, and look forward to welcoming fans all year.”
