This was such a treat to watch! The changes you made to the structure, to the flow really, made such a great impact. It was actually really fun to watch the cops impotently try to figure out what to do. Seeing the guys up there having fun in the quality that you provided was fantastic. I think I will rewatch this once a year or so. Excellent work!!

The Beatles' Rooftop Concert has always been one of my holy grails. I love these songs and I love the whole story surrounding this performance. Kudos to Bobson Dugnutt for putting this definitive version together. Highly recommended for any Beatles fans, fans of the Let It Be album, or fans of music history in general.

We've had the story of the Beatles' penultimate recording sessions told in a way that's too acrimonious (Let it Be) and one that's too damn long by half (Get Back) and now finally one that's just the best, most iconic and transcendent bit: the Rooftop Concert, immaculately assembled by Bobson. This is a shining look at this pivotal moment in rock/cultural/world history and is the only version I will need to watch going forward, from all the available POVs. Extremely well done.

One small quibble: a couple of typos and some awkward phrasing in the opening title card particularly stood out due to the care lavished upon the rest of the editing. "preformed" "impromtu" and the redundant use of "without" were a little clunky and could maybe use a second pass. Aside from that, a terrific document of the best day the Beatles had between the White Album and Abbey Road.

I had to float back down to earth to write this - THIS is VERY close to the edit us Beatle-heads really wanted, no cop-chat or narky folks on the street, just the 4 [well, 5] lads playing their music.
I can't possibly thank BD enough for sharing this - but I'm trying here!!
BD - you've improved the quality, not just of this 'gig', but of my life.
For the life of me (!) I just can't understand why a full, uninterrupted gig wasn't at least offered as an extra on the DVD +/or BR release.

If you're alive and you dig great music - this is for you, if you're not then what are you doing reading this??
100 out of 10!

Typical Bobson edit. I am biased as I am a fan of his(?) edits. This one he started with something good and made it better. Maybe more bias since I am a Beatles fan as well. I saw this at the theatre when it was a special showing and just an hour long all in Dolby. Great stuff. But the way this is edited I can see it winding up in Beatles bootleg circles very quickly. A great look great sound great fun. On my popcorn scale of 1 to 5, 5 being best I give this a 10. I've already watch this and the Let it Be version 3 times each. Thanks so much
