If it were coming out on dvd instead of going to streaming, I'd guess that it would certainly be in 4:3 But Disney are likely to reject a 4:3 version, which creates a problem because then they'd also say "Our customers expect to see the same thing on the disc as they did on streaming". So...

I always found it astonishing how many Beatles live recordings have poor balance. There are so many times when a vocal mic or a guitar is completely buried in the mix. The BBC recordings are much better in that regard.

That Antiques Roadshow clip is great. Who thought a fretless guitar was a good idea? No wonder John (and then George) gave it away!
