Beatles Rooftop Concert - 1/3

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 1969Apple Corps (Roof), LondonThe 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.

How could anyone not just stay there and listen the whole time?

Those Idiots on the street are listening to a free concert and don't know it. Notice the Bobbies?

@MrCeej9999 I agree. Even John himself said that all the loathing he directed at others was self-loathing at that time.

Ringo said when they had new music and were excited about a track all the Bull shit went out the window!! You can see it here!!! They may have had their differences but in the end they loved each other!!

thanks Dept of Revenue, i didn't see that CBS news clip....wonder if CBS showed that in Jan. of 1969 at time of the rooftop concert, or if they showed that when the movie and album were released almost 1 and 1/2 years later in 1970...

@essessessesq I don't know if it was ignored, but I remember CBS News showing a clip of "Two of Us" on the nightly news..Back then network news was very serious and never reported on celebrity stuff unless someone died..so I was very shocked and still remember it
