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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!!!
+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.
+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. :)
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.
The greatest band in history. My sister turned me on to these incredible musicians back in 64 when I was 6 years old. Been a Beatles fan ever since. My son’s generation seems to listen to them as well. No group has ever touched so many generations as the Beatles !!
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.
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 ...
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
Seriously, I don't care who you like or who your favorite band is what the Beatles accomplished is really second to none. When I was younger, I was fascinated by their later stuff. I'd sit for hours listening to the White Album, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road. The creativity, diversity, and songwriting/performing talent seemed to be endless. Epic.
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.
@@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
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!
Found this song from an older gentlemen named John Stewart playing an absolutely beautiful cover with his acoustic guitar. In some small peaceful little bar near midnight, i felt an overwhelming sense of calm I have never felt before. Thank you John.
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!
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 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.
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.
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".
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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!!
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
how much I would give to be able to witness this, i don't even know. truly one of the most iconic moments in all of music history, the greatest band of all time coming together to give one last performance before the end.
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
1:17 Ringo closes his eyes and sings along , that came from the heart man ! Gets me choked up everytime, especially as this was their last performance together
Ditto that Joe and Dave. Always loved that part with Ringo, along with several other highlights from the rooftop performance. I never tire, watching it.
Last live performance this was the Let it Be sessions which they scrapped. Went back into the studio and made Abbey Road. Later on phil spector went thru the old recordings and made the Let It Be album.......
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.
There was something about the timbre of John's voice that could give me the shivers. This was one of those times. So grateful we have these recordings and videos.
I saw George Martin say the same thing in an interview several years ago as he recounted going back after many years and hearing the master recording of JL’s opening verse of Day in the Life. He said it raised the hair on the back of his neck and sent a chill down his spine. A timeless masterpiece that one.
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.
Just look at them and then the onlookers around them. They were ahead of their time and the greatest musical phenomena in history. I was 11 years old when they arrived on the scene and Paul MacCartney was my first love and crush, he still is. I often wonder what goes through Paul's head knowing he is one of the greatest icons to have lived and that he will be immortal when he passes on leaving such a legacy. I feel proud and privileged to have lived during his life. I know I will never meet you Paul but 'THANK YOU. Jane xx
The Roof Top Sessions are a piece of history that will never be forgotten. It's also a sad time as it was the very last live performance of the four together. When I hear someone say they're not really a Beatles fan, I just cannot get my head around that. How can someone love Rock but not the Beatles who were on the forefront? These songs will forever be the best in my opinion. I wish we could take music back to these days.
Even after all these years I could weep when I listen to this. The end of an era, the performance itself, the music history being made, what followed. It is a time capsule that will be forever remembered.
I'm here because my best friend suddenly passed away and I'm watching all the videos he posted on Facebook. I miss him so much already My heart is broken.
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.
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.
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
Me! I started liking them back in late September 2021, when *The Beatles: Get Back* was coming to Disney+. They'll always be my favorite rock band from the 60's and from the British Invasion. Second favorite will go to The Rolling Stones. Edit: 💚💙🧡💖🎸🎸🎸🥁
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
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
Lycris Don't let me down, don't let me down Don't let me down, don't let me down Nobody ever loved me like she does Oh, she does, yeah, she does And if somebody loved me like she do me Oh, she do me, yes, she does Don't let me down, don't let me down Don't let me down, don't let me down 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 had no past Don't let me down, don't let me down Don't let me down, don't let me down And from the first time that she really done me Oh, she done me, she done me good I guess nobody ever really done me Oh, she done me, she done me good Don't let me down, don't let me down Don't let me down

Every time I come back to this video I'm always so surprised how good it sounds. Really, raw and gritty and brilliant. It's everything music should be.
I'd be honored if some Beatles & McCartney fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of PENNY LANE and BLACKBIRD on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of Sir Paul's many legendary compositions with the Fab four.

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.
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

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
A punto de cumplir 19, y los Beatles me acompañaron los últimos 4 años de mi vida, solo puedo decir que estoy más que agradecido de todo lo que me tocó pasar para conocer su música.
I think that it's wonderful that you have opened your mind to music that was written and recorded decades ago. It shows that you have the courage and self confidence to march to your own beat.
@ 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.
There would be if people were willing to give other bands a fucking chance. The only reason there isn't another Beatles is because nobody believes there will be.
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 .
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.
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.
@@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.
One of the many things I love about this video is how it shows how good Ringo's drumming is... so characterful and intrinsically part of the Beatles sound...
You know I feel that ringo was the one that didn’t get to much attention he deserved a little bit more ya know I’m commenting this because if you see the music video Help poor ringo is in the back 😭 I think if you were to ask him why dont you sing he would say I don’t know the lyrics
Hi Prophet Motive! I was thinking the same about Ringo. I also thought about how sad it was he didn't feel adequate or significant etc. and really percussions are the heart beat, the soul of it. He's so right on, and accentuating at precise moments and so spontaneously. I see videos of Paul performing today and a different drummer and wonder if that's part of the reason, that Ringo won't play because he doesn't feel adequate etc. -- but just my amateur view. The pulse, bass players do that too, yet of course all is one when there's such resonance as with these guys.
Also through all the troubles and hard feelings between them towards the end, I love the way Paul and John always give each other little grins while playing. It’s so precious 😭😭
geoffreyjones2000 I’m well aware. They did, however, make amends before John’s death which I’m sure Paul was grateful for. I believe they had a deep and complicated friendship, but nonetheless still cared for each other. I don’t think it was hatred the whole time as much as it was resentment. And they had been through a LOT in their 24 years of knowing each other, so it’s no wonder.
They may have hated each other towards the end, but you can tell that when they're in the moment and all they've got is the music and each other, it's all love
It's incredible how this band goes through the times in an untouchable way and still awakens passions. I believe that no one in Popular Music has achieved or will achieve such a feat!
I own a copy of Beatles Again on an original press vinyl and listening to that particular version of this song literally makes me cry. This is one of the songs in the end of their career that you can hear intense raw emotion and the true chemistry that the band had with each other. I still believe this is the best studio release track they had.
And what about lady Madonna and hey bulldog ? Even the engineers said that it was when they were on fire recording he never so that chemistry again like that
@@brianbullivant4753 no doubt, you mostly see just part of Billy's hair moving around behind Paul once and a while. Especially during his keyboard solo, not even a glimpse of Billy. :-(
It's sad to think that this is the last time we see them perform together in public. That's what makes this HISTORIC. RIP John and George. Thank you Beatles.
An amazing performance, God bless Paul and Ringo to stay with us as long as God will allow. RIP John and George you are missed greatly by Beatles fans the world over.
Any of the beatles cult out there ever see the footage of Lennon the wife beatler, impersonating people with down syndrom ? Singing about 'no possessions' ....in his mansion 😂
When I was younger I used to hate the Beatles when my dad listened to them. But now that I’m older and he is gone, I realize that they were great musicians that made good music. I miss the times that we listened to them together and there will never be another band like them.
Nice one mate, 👍, I'm living 10 minutes from Strawberry fields & John's old house on Menlove Avenue, every time I go past these places, when it's very quiet, you can feel eyes watching you, I look up at John's old bedroom window & sometimes it can be quite emotional, I'm 67 now, but my sister used to go & watch the lads in the Cavern in the early 60s, I grew up listening to their records she played on a small record player, she married a Yank & moved to Ann Arbour in Michigan in 71, but she has many memories of them early days, they did us Scousers proud didn't they.? Tara lad.
Don't Let Me Down The Beatles Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Nobody ever loved me like she does Ooh, she does Yeah, she does And if somebody loved me like she do me Ooh, she do me Yes, she does Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down I'm in love for the first time Don't you know it's gonna last?

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.
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?
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
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.
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.

Help

"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 is absolutely iconic one of the greatest moments in Rock N Roll history.

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!

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
😊
Why ridiculous?
It's impossible to describe just how perfect Billy's playing enhanced this song.
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.
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. :)
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.

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
Seriously, I don't care who you like or who your favorite band is what the Beatles accomplished is really second to none. When I was younger, I was fascinated by their later stuff. I'd sit for hours listening to the White Album, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road. The creativity, diversity, and songwriting/performing talent seemed to be endless. Epic.
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%.

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.

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!
❤
Found this song from an older gentlemen named John Stewart playing an absolutely beautiful cover with his acoustic guitar. In some small peaceful little bar near midnight, i felt an overwhelming sense of calm I have never felt before. Thank you John.
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
One of the best demonstrations of a perfect BASSIST in all of HISTORY. THE BEST BASS RIFF
And he wasn’t even one by choice. He only picked it up because the band needed a bassist.

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
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.
@@zz449944 Bro what this is an amazing song
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
We need artists on roofs right now, playing for the folks stuck indoors.
SMART...VERY SMART!!!
Yeah right!!!
Unless they're terrible.

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 🍒

Thank you! So Am I! Yes!
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
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.

@@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.
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.

I was born long after this and my dad's music taste brought me here. Safe to say he has good taste.
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.

@@PiotrthePhrog what money? It was a free concert.

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

I feel proud and privileged to have lived during his life. I know I will never meet you Paul but 'THANK YOU. Jane xx
The Roof Top Sessions are a piece of history that will never be forgotten. It's also a sad time as it was the very last live performance of the four together. When I hear someone say they're not really a Beatles fan, I just cannot get my head around that. How can someone love Rock but not the Beatles who were on the forefront?

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
Nobody realizes it but you , oh wise one. Cause you’re special

I've loved the Beatles since day 1. Then my son loved them since the 1980's.
They were and will always be the greatest !.
Cynthia sure loved him.
I was in my teens when this was released. It's as awesome today in 2024 as it was in 1970. 👍🇦🇺
Every time I come back to this video I'm always so surprised how good it sounds. Really, raw and gritty and brilliant. It's everything music should be.
I'd be honored if some Beatles & McCartney fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of PENNY LANE and BLACKBIRD on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of Sir Paul's many legendary compositions with the Fab four. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Finish with this wonderful thin. God put him in my head that I prefer live one day in heaven with our father Jesus Christ in an is said to live a million years in this area without God no way God is to me the key to heaven
So true it sounds absolutely amazing never get old
AMAZING.
No nobody is guilty that was a god plan nobody is good but it's good to be the one who never say forgive me God in you show God that you don't support this like that the plan of God was light up to kill and to be killed to be life that's why I say in his own words but is you can do it better Walking with God you're going to be safe but the plan of God was the real true of the law of no worse to be fighting each other and killing each other what do you get to kill somebody doing good nothing from God because he don't forget that kind of commitment that you could somebody no way be honest be loyalty I'm bee has god is perfect try to be perfect has got it is thank you very much okay try to understand me Did You Wrong you going to find tomorrow morning. To be doing nice. Tomorrow is under the day I do want to come phone what you did yesterday so is you did good you going to be happy because
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.

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
A punto de cumplir 19, y los Beatles me acompañaron los últimos 4 años de mi vida, solo puedo decir que estoy más que agradecido de todo lo que me tocó pasar para conocer su música.
Недавно начал учится на гитаре.. И изучаю пачку сигарет и слушаю это и цоя... Леннон крут...
I think that it's wonderful that you have opened your mind to music that was written and recorded decades ago. It shows that you have the courage and self confidence to march to your own beat.

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 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.
Forever masters. There'll be never, ever another band like the Beatles. Ever.
There would be if people were willing to give other bands a fucking chance. The only reason there isn't another Beatles is because nobody believes there will be.
Go and troll anywhere else. That's my fucking opinion. If you don't like it, sue me.
How is that trolling?
Bitching about other people's tastes and opinions. That's trolling.
elcaifo What. All I said was there could be another Beatles if people would give them a chance. Where did I bitch about your taste?
My boyfriend sang this to me beautifully. It made me cry. I realised then that I loved him❤
Hello Helen, good day to you and it is nice seeing you here.
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
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.
@@micaelahenderson664 god bless Micaela 🙏
Great comment.
One of the many things I love about this video is how it shows how good Ringo's drumming is... so characterful and intrinsically part of the Beatles sound...
l KNOW!!! look up "john mayer aint no sunshine" to see Steve Jordan drum. he's the only one on the planet who has the type of groove and feel as ringo
You know I feel that ringo was the one that didn’t get to much attention he deserved a little bit more ya know I’m commenting this because if you see the music video Help poor ringo is in the back 😭 I think if you were to ask him why dont you sing he would say I don’t know the lyrics
Hi Prophet Motive! I was thinking the same about Ringo. I also thought about how sad it was he didn't feel adequate or significant etc. and really percussions are the heart beat, the soul of it. He's so right on, and accentuating at precise moments and so spontaneously. I see videos of Paul performing today and a different drummer and wonder if that's part of the reason, that Ringo won't play because he doesn't feel adequate etc. -- but just my amateur view. The pulse, bass players do that too, yet of course all is one when there's such resonance as with these guys.
He DOSENT get the credit he deserves he was one if the best that's why they are still the biggest bands ever
どうしたのか知らないが五年かあ?!ながいな.!.
When he played this live at concert for Bangladesh and gets up and starts dancing oh my great Creator such God given talent. We need you now Billy.
On this day, 38 years ago, we lost a legend. Rest in peace, John, you are missed and loved.✝️☮️💛
Lovely Rita Got to play for him the summer before. RIP, John.
Lovely Rita 🙏🏽
rest in peace ❤❤
I love him so much he was the best ❤
RIP George and John
Also through all the troubles and hard feelings between them towards the end, I love the way Paul and John always give each other little grins while playing. It’s so precious 😭😭
Aubri, towards the end, they hated each other. They knew...time and place. I was there.
geoffreyjones2000 I’m well aware. They did, however, make amends before John’s death which I’m sure Paul was grateful for. I believe they had a deep and complicated friendship, but nonetheless still cared for each other. I don’t think it was hatred the whole time as much as it was resentment. And they had been through a LOT in their 24 years of knowing each other, so it’s no wonder.
Aubri, you're creepy af
Jorge Toledo 😂😂
They may have hated each other towards the end, but you can tell that when they're in the moment and all they've got is the music and each other, it's all love
It's incredible how this band goes through the times in an untouchable way and still awakens passions. I believe that no one in Popular Music has achieved or will achieve such a feat!
I come back from time to time to sit and listen and reminisce. My dad showed me this song when I was 7 years old. Nothing but real childhood memories
Me too, my dad has passed and he grew me up on the Beatles…reminds me of dad with every song I hear😢

I own a copy of Beatles Again on an original press vinyl and listening to that particular version of this song literally makes me cry. This is one of the songs in the end of their career that you can hear intense raw emotion and the true chemistry that the band had with each other. I still believe this is the best studio release track they had.
Yes,, exactly. John was mostly checked out on heroin by this point but this is a great song
I listen to this version for the exact reason !! Also that organ solo at the end hits like nothing else
@@grifoochoa9281 Ty Billy Preston 🙏
@Too Legit To Quit true but John’s drug use sealed it
And what about lady Madonna and hey bulldog ? Even the engineers said that it was when they were on fire recording he never so that chemistry again like that
The camera man makes me so happy he was committed for the angles. Laying on his back an all
Except the camera man ignored Billy Preston and his inspired keyboard playing.
@@brianbullivant4753 no doubt, you mostly see just part of Billy's hair moving around behind Paul once and a while. Especially during his keyboard solo, not even a glimpse of Billy. :-(
I think the editor is responsible for leaving Billy out. I’m betting that there is more footage of him that was filmed for this sequence in the film.
@@gemspa73 That is surely is a possibility. There is often more footage than is shown.
@@gemspa73 Well that doesn't say much for the editor and or whoever decided to not include it. To not of featured his solo or part of it was criminal.
A well seasoned Beatles doing what comes naturally and ending a legacy that will live far longer than they themselves 👌
It's sad to think that this is the last time we see them perform together in public. That's what makes this HISTORIC. RIP John and George. Thank you Beatles.
An amazing performance, God bless Paul and Ringo to stay with us as long as God will allow. RIP John and George you are missed greatly by Beatles fans the world over.

Nice one mate, 👍, I'm living 10 minutes from Strawberry fields & John's old house on Menlove Avenue, every time I go past these places, when it's very quiet, you can feel eyes watching you, I look up at John's old bedroom window & sometimes it can be quite emotional, I'm 67 now, but my sister used to go & watch the lads in the Cavern in the early 60s, I grew up listening to their records she played on a small record player, she married a Yank & moved to Ann Arbour in Michigan in 71, but she has many memories of them early days, they did us Scousers proud didn't they.?

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.
