You can't recreate that intimacy and magic." They're not locked in a hotel room together on tour anymore. Plus, they've got so many other things going on. "It's a bit like Usain Bolt going, 'Okay, I'm going to run the 100 meters in under 10 seconds now.' They weren't match fit. That's the thing that strikes me about them: no one believes in the Beatles' ability more than the Beatles do." In their defense, they had previously banged out stone-cold classics like Rubber Soul during brief breaks in their tour schedule. "I think they thought they could do that again," says Martin. We haven't got any songs yet and we haven't got a place to play it in, but this is the plan, guys! Oh, and we're going to film it as well.' But the Beatles had complete confidence in their own abilities. "The idea is, 'Okay, in two-and-a-half weeks we'll do our first live show in years.
It's tempting to dub the entire endeavor doomed from the start. That's what makes us happy.' And that's what they planned to do." So they said, 'Let's go back to being four guys in the Cavern Club. "I think they'd just grown tired of being the Beatles. "They're trying to find the spark they once had," Martin explains. True to its working title of "Get Back," the production was intended as a return to their rock 'n' roll roots in a last-ditch attempt to restore a sense of unity amid the business and personal turmoil. "The fact of the matter is that everyone sees Let It Be as the Beatles' breakup album," says Martin, "but they were back in the studio weeks later doing 'I Want You/She's So Heavy' for Abbey Road." Instead of a breakup, he compares the Let It Be sessions to a date night. Though production delays made it the final album they released, the band stayed together long enough to record another album, Abbey Road, released in September of 1969. The myth that Let It Be was the Beatles' coup de grâce has persisted despite a major flaw in logic.
