The Beatles - Don't Let Me Down

- The Beatles performing "Don't Let Me Down.”
Written by John as an expression of his love for Yoko Ono, the song is heartfelt and passionate. As John told Rolling Stone magazine in 1970, “When it gets down to it, when you’re drowning, you don’t say, ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.”
During filming on the roof of Apple, two days after the recording of the track, the band played ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ right after doing two versions of 'Get Back’ and it led straight into 'I’ve Got A Feeling’. Michael Lindsay-Hogg was once again directing a Beatles’ shoot. He and Paul met regularly at the tail end of 1968, while Hogg was directing The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, to discuss the filming of The Beatles’ session in January. By the time that fateful Thursday came around, the penultimate day of January would be the last time The Beatles ever played together in front of any kind of audience.
This is not the version of ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ heard on the single but the version from the Let It Be… Naked album - a composite of both versions that were performed on the roof of Apple in Savile Row

To this day I can't comprehend how this rooftop concert was recorded just 5 short years after their early hits like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". The pace of their evolution was insane.
Incredible. And not just them, the whole world shifted so radically and so quickly. It’s a cliche to say the sixties were a revolution but it’s absolutely true.
“You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all wanna change the world“
indeed. They were the epitome of dynamism, in life and in music
👍
Wow, I thought I was the only one to have noticed that. Seriously have ya watched the entire 3+hr doco. It explains alot that I've wondered about since my childhood in the 70"s?
"Nobody ever done me like she done me"
Paul, John, and George all look at eachother smirking like teenagers. Priceless.
That because they did two takes of this song and John forgot the words and mumbled some nonsense instead. Hence the smirks!
Yep!!
Yeah in the other version... It was chaotic and I loved iy
I know - isn't it great - Ringo had a wee momentary grin, too :)
Andrew Brethour you ruined me I thought it was “dug “ 😂
This video kills me. They all knew it was over by then. Yet. The looks they gave each other. The happiness. The joy of making music one last time even though it was the end. It's one of the most profound pure emotional segments in history that, I don't know how to word it. It kills me. Love it!!!
Marcus Irwin why was it the last time
+Nicole Barret It was their last performance. They hadn't been on tour since 1966. They were a studio band by then and didn't play concerts. It's obvious that this made them feel good again because it was just them up there playing music together like it used to be. No egos fighting for their creative input. But as far as the breakup later that year every member has said that they pretty much knew it was over. There were constant fights between John and Paul. John knew for sure. He's the one that broke and announced he was quitting. Just one of those things.
Marcus Irwin oh that's quite sad
Actually
I thought that they all got on good
Well anyway all good things must come to an end
+Nicole Barrett I think they all stayed friends. It was really more like sibling rivalry. It was mainly John and Paul. George and Ringo kind of just said that they were just sick of John and Paul fighting. Also, they were pretty lost when Brian Epstein died of a drug overdose. John was always the leader of the band, but ever since Sgt. Pepper, Paul started taking the reins quite a bit more. You know, just tensions between strong willed creative geniuses. Of course, don't forget Yoko. They were like 4 brothers and then all of a sudden John starts bringing this weird woman to their writing and performing sessions who wasn't shy about giving her opinions about their actual creative process. I can't even imagine how awful that must have been for the other three, especially Paul. What a complete nightmare. So, yeah. Quite sad. So for all of that, it's why people watch this little roof top concert with such reverence. By the way, you're British, aren't you?
+Bobby Stinklehoffer That's great stuff, Bobby. You know what I love? That after almost 50 years, everyone is still so intrigued by it all. They truly were out of this world. :)
I listened to this song last year and I was battling cancer and it helped me get through. I am in full remission and it keeps me strong.
Happy to hear it ❤
Amén hermano 🙏🏼
Keep strong, brother. I wish you a successful recovery.
Thank you all for your supportive and kind words.
Amen
Imagine walking down the road on the way to do whatever you’re doing and witness the Beatles playing on the roof of their studio, unbeknownst to many, for the last time ever. No one would believe why you were late.
Underrated comment
IMAGINE
😂😅
@@Blackshuck51 The bullets would go back at you because your brain isnt even capable of write a single sentence, even worse, you wouldnt even know how to aim
@@DoppioAliasYo Nice roast :).
i just can’t believe their age here. i actually thought they’d be atleast 30+ plus but no.
paul’s 26
john’s 28
ringo’s 28
george’s 25
and they already achieved all of that? just what you call a legend
just another fish in bikini bottom Males often reach the pinnacle of their creativity when they’re around 25. Michael Jackson Released Thriller when he was 25. I don’t mean to take anything away from as them as they are legends just wanted to give you an explanation
Ola Tranoy i forgot abt that sorry:) but srsly they don’t look their age. i thought they might’ve been atleast 30
It's crazy how much they accomplished in the span of 8 years! Yet the world still loves them years later.
I’m 25 eating pizza and watching Superbad. They conquered the world and wrote timeless songs at that age
John looks like he's in his 40's
Paul looks like he's in his 30's
George looks like he's in his 30's
Ringo....science can't explain
That's not just a live performance ....its a piece of history
Yeah!!
This is studio.
@@AthosRac Do you are have stupid?
Certainly not live. Still historic though. Live performances were a lot poorer quality audio back then, not that they couldn't pull it off though
@@slimva6547 It is live actually. Although it is slightly edited here. This song was performed twice on the rooftop and this video is mostly the better first version. Lennon messed up the vocals on the third verse and that line has been replaced with a bit of the second version here. The full unedited first version has now been released on the new box set.
Look at the joy on their faces. They truly enjoyed playing together.
Jan. 30, 1969 at 12:30p, lunch time--and many people came out after word spread--on the rooftop of Apple's HQ in London, 42-min. The most famous, free, unannounced concert in pop music history! According to Billy Preston, it was John Lennon who suggested it. The brains of the singing group to the very end! John's final words wrapping up the concert, in another of his cheekiest lines, ""I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition." Love him forever!
2:14 That look that Paul and John share just warms my heart every time. Despite all the troubles, all the struggle, in that moment, the Beatles were okay.
Even at the height of their "falling out", John still referred to Paul as his best friend - other people just got in the way.
@@L_Martin I'm crying 😢 😭 🤧
O tradutor do RUclips "Paulo e João" Kkkkkkkkkkkk
@@L_Martin I think they were just moving apart in their careers and lives... it even happens to the best of bands. After seeing the raw footage for Peter Jackson's documentary, Paul and Ringo saw there was far less animosity in their breakup than they had realized. No one was really at fault. It just was a natural progression.
@@dan_hitchman007 I think if the group had agreed to take some time off, disband for a couple of years and then regroup, things would have gone down differently. But the influence of Allen Klein on John, for e.g., plus heroin addiction - culminating in John's rash "I want a divorce" declaration wound up in Paul essentially calling his bluff and agreeing to end the band, when it seems fairly clear now John was very up and down during that time and even seemed to feel remorse just days after asking for the divorce. The podcast "Another Kind of Mind" is a fantastic listen if anyone's interested in looking at the breakup from a different angle to how the narrative is usually portrayed.
love how Ringo, closes his eyes and waits ...to see when to kick in and does it perfectly...he is sooooo underrated,......
Underrated? More like overrated he is in so many top 10 drummers lists
i thought that too but they are playing with overdub you can see it i think in the 2. verse where george plays chords with lennon and still the sound of the fill in is there paul and george smile at each other as they notice it
@BSH r u ok
Alexander Meyer I don’t believe so, watching the original let it be movie which this is from they run through some of the songs numerous times because of mistakes. You can hear the mistakes and mess ups as they play
Barry Berry Listen to A Day in the life and then come back to me
Ringo always has the perfect groove for every song. He truly was a one of a kind drummer.
Yep. Ringo was the King of Feel.
Popular but still underrated.
@@Blueboi1108 I wouldn’t say he’s underrated
Is, not was.
Cool to see in the documentary how Paul was actually the one who suggested the iconic groove on the ride symbol. The Beatles were just a great team that musically elevated each other.
someone will still listen to this great song 2024
I am before bed to help me sleep. first day tomorrow. Hope your day is good.
@@marck.36 Yes! Me.
Got that right jack !
I'd guess 2025 too
9/9/2024 Still listening to this! Great video❤️
❤️🎸❤️🎵❤️🥁❤️
Watching Lennon and McCartney smiling at each other during this song, when they were together just doing music with no outside BS going on, is magical. They knew, they just knew ...
The cameraman in George’s groin didn’t help either. Lol
They even kept looking at each other when the other wasn’t just to see if they would be looking at each other again
omg, yes.
Google global truth project and read "the Present" to see the truth about life/death. Nothing is more important than checking it is true, especially pgs 1-4
But they loved each other like brothers
They had so much chemistry. The stars really aligned for these four men and the world is forever grateful.
I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would take a quick listen to my lo-fi acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BLACKBIRD and PENNY LANE in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
@@willritter4076I took a listen, fabulous my friend ❤
They hated each other by this time
Help
@@willritter4076I listened to the penny lane one and it’s great👍👏
So this was their final performance live and even though they were arguing and tensions were running high, as soon as they began playing music, John and Paul instinctively turn towards each other and often smile. Music was their bond but business tore them apart.
In an interview: McCartney added that the Beatles split in 1970 was mainly caused by an argument over the role of US businessman Allen Klein in the band’s affairs I think Yoko had a lot to do with it.
@@Jibbie49 yes that was my understanding also, that it was Klein who was the real 'villain' of the piece. I also understand that J, R and G admitted later on that they should never have trusted Klein - that's why Paul sued them, to get away from Klein, *not* his band mates.
Ya they didn't like their new manager since their old manager died over a drug overdose
This should be in history books. Peaceful defiance at it's best. We could learn something.
Everything enhances the song - George's guitar, John's voice, Paul's bass, Billy's keyboard and Ringo's drums. Nothing wasted or out of place.
And George's pants really tie everything together
@@TheJofrica … lol. Made me laugh
@@TheJofrica Mr. Green Jeans
@@TheJofrica And the Fur Seal jacket
Y John que lleva un abanico....porque tambien parece que lleva una guitarra y ademas la toca. Una guitarra ritmica que es tan importante como las de los otros 2. Roberto149 sabes mucho ingles pero poco de musica.
An unreal collection of talent. John's vocals, Paul's bassline, George's riffs, perfectly complimentary drumming from Ringo and Billy Preston with an awesome piano outro. Just ridiculous.
Hey you should check out a band called The Doublejumps if you listen to The Beatles
Why ridiculous?
@@christianmay3959that this amount of talent can exist within one band
😊
Watching Get Back really made you appreciate Billy Preston a whole lot more. The song wasn’t really getting anywhere without him. The moment he sat down on the keys you just knew they had it.
And not one sequence of him playing keys on that entire song. Did they forget he was there?
@@kenmccain340 1:02
He change the whole mood of that room when he walked in. Billy Preston is also played with the Rolling Stones. He’s amazing
Subsribed
@@kenmccain340 He had no dedicated camera on him during the rooftop concert, so you have to be eagle-eyed to see him in the background or in the wide shots. A disgrace really
John Lennon's image and voice makes me feel so peaceful and lifted UP inside. It's like peace and what Heaven must feel like.
Love how this performance sounds even better than the studio version. Incredible band.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like The Beatles
@@MassiveFish-hp4pm GO AWAY! Quit pushing that GARBAGE!
I did thought it was the studio version over the rooftop footage, then I saw Billy Preston playing there behind the band...
There are a lot of artists who are better live than on record
@@arkhamguard6479more back in the day than now tbh especially with rappers and pop singers, they sound terrible lol
As Rick Beato points out there were NO monitors, NO earpieces, nothing. Just singing into microphones, outdoors in London, in January, an entire concert. That's not for the faint of heart yet at their level of mastery it was effortless.
So impressive. They really were top notch.
Yeah, they were a great band. I thought it was amusing also that Paul was asked if they ever used click tracks, and he was like "no, they didn't even have those in our day. You just had to know how to play" lol
@@virtuosooo real soul music, not manufactured.
@@tricornclub9594 using a click track doesn't make it manufactured
This is just mind bending... They ended up playing three tracks in a row that made it onto the final record, they were ON FIRE. Just unbelievable!!!
It must be really strange to be someone like Paul McCartney, and to look back at your life and see the enormous influence you have had on the world when you started out as a twenty something who just wanted to be a successful musician and do what you loved for a living.

He was about 14 when he and John first started a band 🙂
@@cookface Yeah he's been going strong since the fifties...and a legend in England since '63 and here 64.

Just shows how important music is, they were in turmoil when this was recorded but the enjoyment on their faces when performing makes it all go away. What a band
Best Ever
Most underrated guy on the rooftop that day....Billy Preston on the keyboard....amazing.
thank you ! I was wondering 'who is on the keyboards' !!!!!!! Billy Preston !
ben cato I. L
ben cato aka the 5th memeber lol
@ ben cato (who observed, "Most underrated guy on the rooftop that day....Billy Preston on the keyboard....amazing"):
Oh shit, I didn't even notice him until, once you mentioned it, the first few frames. Sad he was shunted out of view.
Hate to say it, because it's my favorite Beatle song of all time, and that's tough to say, but Billy Preston's keyboards are what really make that song.
They were so in "touch" with each other - like they just knew what to do without much practice. Amazing band. My dad was a DJ in 1964, he brought home "Meet the Beatles" and forced the whole family to sit and listen to it. My mother hated it. My dad said "You are wrong - this band will be around forever". I guess in a way, he was right.
I have to remind myself - at the time of this last live performance, they had been playing together for what -- 15 years? No wonder they're so tight!
They practiced together a lot. Don’t minimize the amount of work they did from their beginning to this- there was a lot of time spent getting there.
@@Mac2095no one is
In every way
@@Mac2095Even these new songs they were writing and practicing almost everyday that month. I’m watching the multipart movie of that Jan in 1969 on Disney+. Get Back.
I get chills from John Lennon’s voice. He was special.
yes and he was shot dead by an asshole called Mark Chapman
The Best!❤
Yes! I LOVE his voice. As much as Paul's is beautiful, John's is so emotive and perfect.
100%.
Nasal voice LOL!
You could tell they knew the Beatles was coming to an end, and that they were just having fun with the concert. You could see it in their eyes them sharing the memory of the early sixties when they were playing in stadiums all over the world.
John Lennon was such a good melodist. The melody in "I guess nobody ever really done me" hits every time
No
Este bro es de la latinoamerica
I prefer the "I'm in love for the first time"
"She done me good " gets me. XD
@@user-hu3iy9gz5j that's my favorite part of the song
John: Focused, but having fun
Ringo: Focused, too focused
George: Depressed but not too weird
Paul: Living his own life
i think john was a pee pee head
What did you say
John Lemon Do you prefer lemons as they are or lemonade?
kkkkk
i laughed at ringo one lol
I don’t think humanity will ever go a day without someone in the world listening to this song

One of the best performances in history of live singing.
The best. No monitors and outside.
They certainly didn't let us down... Crazy it only took one man to take John away and let us all down. Thank you boys! Love you always!
Imagine being one of the young men in the back, telling your grandkids today you witnessed one of the greatest moments in music history
Must have been a bit different for them. Used to looking out at 1000's of screaming teenagers. Now here they are looking out at tops of buildings and chimney tops. You ever noticed how none of them went bald. The Beatles were not a band, they were heaven sent.
Imagine all the people 🎼
My father saw them live in Stockholm late 60's. He's been talking about it since then💜
Hi I recommend an Indie song inspired by McCartney's Bond Theme Song 'Live and Let Die' called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
@@funlittlefish The Doublejumps are garbage. Why are you promoting them here?
Something about this being the last Beatles performance hits me deep. It’s as if the song is about the Beatles themselves in a don’t forget about us way. Seeing the Beatles we’ve lost and the ones we still have feels like “don’t be sad it’s gone be happy it happened.” Seeing John sing and to a great degree the rest feel like a wish for us to always remember them.
I’m pretty sure the song’s about Yoko and Paul
@@ericramos4992wow, we totally did not know that…
@@blademasterislit my comment is 3 years old and I made it when I was 14. There’s no reason to be replying to it.
For anyone who doesn't know this session took place on the roof of the Beatles Saville Row offices and brought the traffic to a stop. It was on the TV news that night. I remember it even now... Their last gig. And John said at the end (just before they were asked to end by the cops) "Thanks very much and we hope we passed the audition". I still miss that man. The day he was shot I felt as though someone had killed my teenage years.
im sad
I was just a teen too and not a huge fan as am now BUT i cried an cried. to this day, i can't listen to imagine without crying bc i remember him. i also remember elvis but don't cry and was bigger fan i though
Stevo SD I miss John every day. I will never stop missing him.
so you’re like 70 if my math is correct
It sure did ruin that football game.
BRAVO!! ONE HUNDRED TIMES, BRAVO!!
I'm a Pink Floyd Freak & I Cherish the Electric & Acoustic Talents that made the Mid Sixties to the Mid Seventies & Over ALL, The Beatles were, without question, The GOAT!!
They were a gift that Proves God is an Artist!!
Best EVER
I've heard this song a million times, but it's only now I'm realizing how lyrical, consistent, and elegant Ringo's drumming is here. Those fills, the crash hits and snare work are so integrated and complement the layered sound of this song so well - he's really playing into the song and not under or over it. Simply amazing!
So true
Well-stated Larry, he really is Rock's first great drummer.
Ringo is the perfect drummer. He has a steady, reliable backbeat and doesn't show off. His drumming works perfectly for every song he plays, bringing exactly what is necessary and nothing more. He can play any beat at any tempo, and usually brings his own unique flair to it, like Ticket To Ride. He improved that song so much.
I just can't imagine anyone else playing drums with the Beatles than Ringo.
You pretty much described Ringo on every track
53 years ago today and they still blow the world’s mind.

Billy Preston adds so much to this song! I really wish they would have showed him playing. It was such a joy to watch him play in the documentary whenever they showed him.
yeah... they gave him about 5 seconds on screen, and nothing during his interludes...
Totalement d'accord
Totally
they didn't intend to pay him as full sessionist if i recall correctly.
yes he really adds a lot to this great song.
When he says ... I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last?
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that has no past.
Really is a great way to describe being in love for the first time. You really do think it's going to last forever. And when it is your first love there are no past ones. And being young and in love you really do think it's going to last forever. Brilliant stuff
The Beatles were so comfortable playing together by this time that what is essentially a jam on a rooftop is as professional as a studio recording. Their harmonies are effortless and dead on, and the groove is flawless. Love it.
Its perfection in life, music, and wonder. The Beatles are....The Beatles and I get on my knees to thank the universe for these four wonders! Life is the gift in the fab four.

I don't think people realize how much Billy Preston adds to this song. Takes a basic guitar rock ballad and transforms it into something as good as any jazz record I've ever listened to.
when he arrives and starts playing in the documentary Lennon says something like--you've saved us, we need you bad, something so fresh-and he's invited on the spot to join. - and he does add so much to the sound
He is great on this, Get Back, and One after 909 too

For a moment, they put their differences behind... differences that would break the band. And this final live performance is beyond magical.
John, as always, the LEADER!!
maybe has something to do with the money
well i mean they put those differences aside for weeks leading up to it and generally got along alright. at least well enough to make 2 albums
@@PiotrthePhrog what money? It was a free concert.
what xdddd there were absolutely NO differences that would break the band... they were the best friends for life, and the reason for this being their last concert was a money issue. "The Beatles' contract with Allen Klein meant that all earnings made from each member's solo works were to go into the Apple "pot". In August 1970, McCartney began steps to dissolve the Beatles' partnership, arguing his financial and artistic freedom was infringed." first thing that comes up form google
Man, I know that by this time they were "done". But, in this clip you see some glimpses of pure joy. Paul's hip shimmies John's smiles.
I have never understood this song. To me, it seems they were trying too hard to make this into a good song but didn't quite get it. But, what the hell do I know about music? Not much, really, and can't even play one note.

He is making love to that guitar. He loved the Beatles and never wanted to have it end.
Priceless !!

nice
@@m.e.d.7997 Very true. As much as I'm a John guy first (Still love Paul though too) it sucks that Paul was so hell bent on keeping the band together and John was so hell bent on leaving.
Billy Preston really added to the sound. As soon as he turned up in the studio in the lead up to this gig things started to come together. Not taking anything away from the other 4, but he was "the icing on the cake".
Yeah he was definitely the cherry on top 🍒
Concordo plenamente

Can you imagine walking down the street below -- hearing this -- and you know it’s The Beatles -- you just have no idea where it is coming from ?!
Yes and some nutter rang the coppers !
It’s music from heaven man . They are playing on cloud 9 and jamming how they can awesomeness
It’s the LIB footage...however, this is the studio recording placed over the Rooftop gig audio. John either flubs the “done me verse” or censors the words with the Gobbly Goo line which is played during the film
And in about five seconds I imagine I would be trying to scale the building.
😅😅😅 Yeahh... That's cool!!
I'm 70, looking at the terrible mess the world is in currently, and watching this and letting it take me back to to a time never to be repeated, one could just sit down and cry. We truly did not appreciate just how fortunate we were then, but I did get my share and I live the memories and I'm grateful.
Why not get up into something new?
yes the world needs something like this
Right there with ya 😊
Like what, political correct, gender bending (my son is now a girl), net zero, eco, woke, wake up and look outside, it's a mess
I’m here with you
This was one of my uncles favourites, he passed away early hours this Sunday morning. Played the Beatles to him at his bed side, just like we did when he was here, I'm Having a night up late singing to the Beatles like we did very often !!! Sorry neighbours xxxxxxx

Are you a guitar buff? Or do you just like to play?

This is so amazing. It's just like the Beatles when they sang don't let me down
you know this is probably the only concert they could actually hear themselves playing, no screaming girls drowning out the sound of their own speakers.
Rooftops are great for that reason. A controlled crowd.
This and their early gigs in Liverpool and hamburg

@@Josh_J91 - This is the rooftop version.
I’m literally watching this song being written. The new documentary series is like dream come true
I watched part 1 yesterday. Agree 100%. Seeing the songs take shape out of rifts was amazing. Paul and George strumming to Get Back with no lyrics was fun.
Watching Part 2, outstanding 👏
Waiting for part 3
Im here as well!! Im on part 3 a few mins in. Lol
I've fallen in love with this song since watching get back. My god McCartney is off the scale talented, they were perfection at times, just timeless !
Without question, one of the finest songs in the simplest format executed with the highest skill, flair and pure pop joy. For their time, and forever after, The Beatles are without peer. The legacy is global and timeless. Aren't we lucky to have them.
Couldn't agree more my friend
This song as aged well. I believe it was considered a knock off. Don't remember ever hearing it on the radio at the time, it didn't make the cut for Let It Be LP & its only release was the B-side to a 45 & later the Hey Jude LP which was a collection of "non album singles & B-sides".
Although I wouldn't put Get Back & Let It Be in the same category as Stairway to Heaven & Freeboard, heard them so much I don't care if I ever hear them again, I"ve heard 'em enough & am satisfied with occasionally hearing them on the radio.This song however I include on playlist & love it when it come up.
Well said !
Overated
@@addicz2 you have said exactly the same thing on other beatles videos. You say they are over rated but you can't stop watching them
500 million views. This song and video definitely didn't let us down.

The coordination between the guitars, Lennon and Harrison, was so dynamic.
@@ivanhoewindsor4749 yeah
If I'm not mistaken, Brian Jones and Keith Richards had a similar dynamic in their guitar playing for the Rolling Stones.
undescribable, really.
@@ivanhoewindsor4749 Yes, and his interaction with the two guitars is superb, too
@@ivanhoewindsor4749 His contribution makes this song.
John is so happy and feeling this song from his core. Everyone else in the band despite issues wants to be there for him. Perfect rendition
Agreed.
Every time I hear this I always think this has to be my favorite song of all time! It is so good.
Billy Preston's contribution is haunting.
@@frankspence8723 i agree
Mucho falso cognotes
mention billy preston ffs
Paul looks Cool as hell. That's style right there for you boys and girls.
The Whole Band looks cool as hell!
they looked the best mid sixties ish about the Rubber Soul era that was style mate , they look ok here , but the floppy flare thing at the end of the decade nowhere near as cool as the mid sixties and Mod look .
Or do you mean william?
I thought the same thing when I first saw this video. I thought oh they are balling in their for coats and loving the life jamming out together. Read the back story... None of them wanted to play this. The police were there waiting to shut them down for a noise complaints and they all borrowed the jackets from their gf/wives. But don't they look happy jamming out together ? What could have been!! F!*$& u Mark Chapman. On my father's birthday off 1980 12-8. My favorite Beatles song I recently just found.
@@krbstud55 People say they were at each others throats at this point in their history, but I agree with you, just look at the charge they are getting out of playing a live song for an audience for probably the first time in a few years. Makes me happy to see them here at one of the iconic moments of their lives.
@@heighwaysonthewing for me the pinnacle was the strawberry fields video. They were flexing in that one

It's unreal how in sync and in tune they were...especially for this, their last concert. No one will ever top this band.
Stones were better and lasted way longer....."Kings of Rock"
Beatles were pronces
@@johnswanson3741 It must have been great to get that off your chest, John. Many people read your comment. Please go on breathing.
@@johnswanson3741 Better at what and on what planet in what universe exactly? On a scale of 10 where The Beatles are a 10, The Rolling Stones are maybe a 4? It's not about how long anyone lasted, Scooter, it's about how good they were. The Rolling Stones would not even exist without The Beatles.
@@lecutter9382 While the rolling stones got massive inspiration from The Beatles, it doesn't mean they're a 4. The rolling stones are a definite 8, The Beatles at a 10. The rolling makes good music, It's' clear "John Swanson" was just pissy that everyone was commenting on a beatles song how they liked the beatles a lot.

A well seasoned Beatles doing what comes naturally and ending a legacy that will live far longer than they themselves 👌
On this day Dec. 8 , 41 years after John Lennon's death, the beatles are just as relevent now as they were in the 60's. They are timeless. John was my favorite since 1964. Will always love his music.
My dad just passed Dec 6 he loved the Beatles 😔♥️🙏🏾
I remember having a calculus exam that day. Didn't go too well.
@@jeffbecker8716 Had a constitutional law exam that day which blew everyone away. That evening, my friend Jay called me, I thought to discuss the exam. He broke the news and we talked for hours, sadly, in shock, about what John Lennon meant to all of us. The exam was completely irrelevant. The memory still feels so fresh, and it still stings.

I love that cut, it shows a master musician deep in the groove. He's got that timing down to go into the outro, and then the following shot of everyone feeling the music. perfect
lmaoooo
Ringo, wha a drummer he was. So pricise, so exactly right for bringing every song to it's full potential.
U know it , thats a real drummer...
Hello
100% a drummer should be known for their rhythm, their precision, and their ability to know exactly what a song needs. Not their speed. Ringo is one of the best drummers of all time due to his ability to know exactly what a song needs.
@@rodrigopenaloza9607 q
He was high af here. Look at his eyes.
Still don't understand why someone would kill John Lennon. He's a musical genius
He was anti war and anti governments and its tyranny. Because of that, they killed him
john may of not been a great person but he didn’t deserve to die, the man who killed him simply killed him because he was jealous. a talented man robbed from us because of one greedy person
I think I've spent thousands of dollars on Beatles related things, in my lifetime. Bought every album in practically every format. Books.. all that stuff. Long live Beatles
That would be me if I had any money hehe. I love them so much
I've done the same thing...its money well spent 💖💖💖
Spread over about 30 years, mind you. :-P
Me too..!!
The love that governed their lives, especially John's and George's, does live forever... it cannot die; it is impossible :-) I adore them. People think that love has to look like Mother Teresa, or God forbid some religious self-promoting person, but that's not true. Love is expressed in human, fragile vessels to perfection
There is nothing cooler than "The Beatles on the roof".
Paul looks exceptionally cool here.
I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BLACKBIRD and PENNY LANE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul McCartney. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and everybody stay safe.

Considering I was 6 in 1963, its also a love that has no past.
One peculiar day in the heart of New York City, John Lennon found himself strolling through Central Park when he noticed a strikingly familiar face. To his amazement, he encountered someone who not only looked exactly like him but also shared the same name - John Lennon.
Intrigued and amused, the two Johns exchanged puzzled glances before breaking into laughter at the uncanny resemblance. They decided to grab a coffee and chat, discovering they had eerily similar tastes in music, art, and even fashion. The chance meeting sparked an unexpected friendship between the original John Lennon and his doppelganger.
As they explored the city together, the two Johns navigated the streets with amused onlookers, who couldn't believe their eyes. The duo even played a prank on some fans, pretending that they were a reunited Lennon in disguise. The spontaneous encounter turned into a surreal adventure, blending reality and a touch of the absurd, leaving both Johns with a tale to tell and a friendship that transcended the boundaries of ordinary coincidences.
Sadly it doesn't, love will end up in her cheating on you, and your love. There is a reason why this song is called don't let me down as this is sadly the most likely outcome
@@theundertaker5963 I get where you're coming from, but I meant the love I have for the Beatles. People can be a lot of things including cheaters and abusers (my ex was both), but I want to believe that there are those who don't treat you as someone replaceable. At least, that's what is left of the optimist in me thinks. Anyway, these guys have given me a lot, taught me how to speak English and have been a great source of inspiration
MY FAVORITE ''BEATLES SONG,'' MERCI.
It's hard to fathom it's a live performance in the first place.
I personally find this song as the most mature Beatles material.
I honestly don't think anybody out there standing in the crowd would have reckoned they were witnessing a piece of history.
Just mind blowing.
WELL OK MAN...
and we get to relive it everyday.
It's amazing!! ❤️❤️
They knew it was history. The Beatles were probably the most famous people n the world then.
