The Beatles: Get Back” documentary got an unexpected sequel moment Thursday on the opening night of Paul McCartney’s “Got Back” tour, when Macca duetted with a video of John Lennon on the Beatles’ classic “I’ve Got a Feeling.”The homage took place in Spokane, Washington, where video footage shows McCartney and his longtime band performing the song as the crowd erupts when Lennon’s image appears on the video screen. Such video duets have become common at recent concerts, although they’re usually deployed for things like guest raps and moments like Elton John and Dua Lipa’s recent duet on “Cold Heart.” However, this creative use of the tactic is a new peak.McCartney revealed that Jackson had isolated the vocals after getting the idea of having Lennon “sing” along with the live band, as reported by Rolling Stone.

This was made possible with an assist by director Peter Jackson, who made the critically acclaimed three-part documentary series Get Back, fueled by access to 60 hours of unseen footage of what was to be their final moments together as a band. The song was originally recorded for the Let It Be Album released in 1970.
