Peter Jackson has said he would have “lost it” with The Beatles if he had filmed the Let It Be documentary himself.
The Get Back director reflected on the “incredible” footage he inherited from Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who produced the 1970 documentary of the 1969 ‘Let It Be’ recording sessions.
“The poor guy was herding cats the whole time and I was just feeling so many times that I would have lost it!” Jackson said at a Q&A as part of the IMAX release of The Beatles: Get Back – The Rooftop Concert, according to Metro.
“I mean as much as I love the Beatles, I would have raised my voice at them a couple of times and read them the riot act because they would have driven me crazy, and Michael’s just so calm.”
