Beatles Rooftop Concert – 1/3

37

I have the right to edit or remove user comments at my will. Vulgar, hate, redundant or otherwise. I haven’t blocked them all because some are actually informative. Please read them if you want to know some Beatles history. “Get Back” “Don’t Let Me Down” Thursday – 30 January 1969 Apple Corps (Roof), London The Beatles’ celebrated rooftop show. An idea conceived during a meeting on 26 January, it was the first of two consecutive Beatles/Billy Preston performances which concluded the Get Back project, for on 31 January they ran through numbers inside the basement studio. This day’s work has passed into history as the Beatles’ last live performance, even if it couldn’t be classified as a concert. The 42-minute show (about half of which comprises the sensational close to the Let It Be film) was a lunchtime blast into the cold wind – imagine a high London rooftop in January – that brought part of the capital to a standstill, until the police, in turn, brought the show to an enforced conclusion. Much was commercially used from the 42 minutes on the roof, in the Let It Be film and on the Get Back (unissued) and Let It Be albums. What follows is a detailed description of the full rooftop repertoire, as preserved on EMI’s eight-track tapes, with a guide to how it was made available.

    @mysticlawlotus The last live performance The Beatles gave to a paying audience was at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park on 29 August 1966, the same tour that included their concert at Shea Stadium, New York, 6 days earlier.

    These four talented Scousers never wrote a violent or sexist lyric. There is a massive catalogue of their music, and it`s as fresh today as it was back then. With all the crass rubbish we have to listen to blasting from hatchbacks today, I find it difficult to believe this little country could produce something as special as these guys.
