The Rutbeats - "Get Back And Go" video clip 1970

This is a rare segment from the obscure 1970 "LET IT RUT" documentary of a collaboration between the Beatles and The Rutles. After completing the "LET IT RUT" album, both bands played simultaneous rooftop concerts, across the street from each other. This clip show both bands performing "Get Back And Go"

The movie has long been out of print, and only briefly saw release as a Betamax video in the early '80s. The resulting album, "LET IT RUT", also quickly went out of print.

DISCLAIMER: YEP FOLKS, THIS IS A PARODY! IF I DON'T PUT A DISCLAIMER HER, I'LL HAVE SEVERAL DUMBASSES THAT WILL COMMENT THAT IT IS FAKE! DUH!

@beatlesandbeyond

Glad you like it...go ahead and use it!

Actually, if I could make an improvement, it would be to have both band footage shown, so it shows the comparison of how the police handled the situation. With The Beatles, they were given courtesy before they were arrested, whereas the Rutles were just plain arrested..

Either that, or 'Get Up And Go' was so bad, the police ignored The Beatles completly.

The Rutles would be a broadway hit of astronomical proportion if hey decided to do it.

Anyone know why you can't find Get up and Go on youtube anymore?

[kevinjconroy]

gotta' admit the rutles, to their credit, hold their own against the original....same key, but how come the beat is so exact in the mix....did the rutles play along to the original beatles' soundtrack? very interesting......

[Silver77cyn]

The part where you reversed the end of A Day in the Life sounds like "I will not eat any Supermen"

[boswell255]

@simonnaylor Corporate greed.

I heard the Beatles hoped they would be arrested and felt it would be a good ending to the movie, but the bobbies didn't oblige.

The Rutles changed it so in effect it was.
