" For You Blue " was one of the many new songs that the Beatles rehearsed at Twickenham Film Studios in south-west London , in January 1969 . The film project , which became known as '' Get Back '' and eventually '' Let It Be '' , formed part of the band 's proposed return to live performance for the first time since their 1966 North American tour . Harrison said that after coming back from Woodstock in December 1968 , he was " quite optimistic " about the new project , especially the plan to return to a more ensemble-based approach to playing . The rehearsals were filmed and recorded by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg with the intention that the documentary film would accompany a televised concert by the Beatles
