I saw him perform last year in Rio Rancho, New Mexico with his All Starr Band that included Edgar Winter, Steve Lukather, Colin Hay and others. It was a crazy enjoyable experience. Ringo hasn't lost a beat. Peace, Love, and Broccoli!
The most enjoyable thing about The Beatles is listening to them grow over a very short span of time from songs such as "She Loves You" to songs like this. They innovated like no other band. No two songs sound alike and each album is an utterly different experience but ALL OF IT is freaking fantastic!!!
This was an impromptu concert on top of their studio. They grabbed thir wives and girlfriends jackets last second to head to the roof. When Sir Paul plays this live now he shows video from this concert of John Lennon singing his part, very touching.
It wasn't quite impromptu at the last second, but close. This was the end of their 3 weeks of working on their Get Back sessions. There were discussions about what they were doing, whether to do a TV special, a film with accompanying soundtrack (that became Let It Be a year later), and even whether to actually return to live concerts. The entire 3 weeks had been captured on film & audio tape for these goals. But the whole process meandered a bit, and they struggled with how to end it all. In other words, what would be their "big finish". Early on they were considering some sort of big live performance event, but didn't know what form it would take and where it would be. They had entertained other ideas both by themselves, as well as by George Martin, film maker Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and engineer Glyn Johns. But nothing satisfied everyone. In fact, when George Harrison left for a brief time, one of his conditions for returning was to drop the idea of the huge concerts with audiences. It was getting late in the process and they still hadn't decided, and they had a drop-dead date when everything had to be done, because the following week, Ringo had to leave, to act in the film The Magic Christian, and that date couldn't be moved. I think someone may have said half in jest, about just going upstairs to the roof and play up there. That idea first came up just a few days before, so yeah, close to impromptu. But when they locked into the idea, they made all the necessary preparations, setting up all the film and recording equipment, and working out their set list. The rooftop concert was on 30 January 1969, and then after the police literally pulled the plugs on them about 45 minutes in, they went back downstairs to do some more work. They listened to what they had just recorded, and may have also done a few final overdubs. Later on, Glyn Johns made two passes at mastering a final Get Back album but both were rejected by the Beatles. And then much later on, the audio tapes were handed to Phil Spector who produced the album Let It Be.
Yes and according to Chris Odell, who worked for the Beatles at Apple, they had to construct posts to ensure the roof held up while they played up there 😉❤️
Paul McCartney is such a multifaceted musician that just happens to play bass most of the time in the Beatles. But his musical knowledge makes his bass lines incredible.
They’re simply amazing! They ARE THE GOATS! Without them, there is no modern music industry. They were the “first” at (almost) everything! Love watching your journey! Peace
The way McCartney and Lennon’s vocal melody lines intertwine at the end is my favorite part. The amazing thing is McCartney can still do that Little Richard scream almost as well these days at 82 years old. He’s still playing this song live.
Keep the Beatles comin', Polo! Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am The Walrus, Oh Darling, While My Guitar Gently Weeps (with Eric Clapton on lead guitar), Old Brown Shoe... Hell, just start crankin' 'em out!
Great reaction Polo. The Beatles were never overhyped - they were always ahead of the curve - ahead of the hype. I was there at the start, a 20 year old young man just mesmerised by the Beatles output. Sheffield South Yorkshire.
Out of the nearly 300 songs the Beatles did, they had about 3 songs that each person doesn't like. The rest are forever classics. The Beatles are their own genre. Nobody comes close to this level of talent.
This was 9 months before John quit the band. The Beatles collectively split 8 months later in April of 70. This was January 30th, 1969. The Beatles last performance and their first live show since 1966. Paul McCartney, has a voice of a chameleon. This show was impromptu, only deciding to do it the day before, and hoping the 'coppers would cuff them and take them to jail". Paul and John were hoping for an arrest for publicity. 'Beatles arrested for rocking", was the jist. The cops did show up, but basically warned them to stop, even switching off a couple of amps (John and George turned them back on) and a handful of "British Bobbies" standing there waiting for them to end momentarily.
It breaks my heart that Paul has lost his beautiful singing voice. With Paul, who I've been in love with the past 63 YEARS, tries very hard to sound like he used to. Elderly & trying to yank Mother Nature off his back, I can tell ya 1st hand how those vocal cords dig deep! 😞 ❤
It's rare but, whenever someone says they don't like The Beatles I just have to reply with, "Now I know why I don't like you!". All in good humor, of course.😉
and yet i just doin't remember seeing paul mccartney's name on a "best bass players" list, although his name is mentioned in that context by some of my friends who are musicians. i think he's a fucking LEGEND.
That was a live rooftop concert they put together with several songs they just wrote. Also their last live performance. You are so right about there range of sound. Try Let It Be next just to showcase that point. You do a great job Polo.
That's the truly wild thing about The Beatles... they really just were that great... just unreal. I'd love to be able to discover all this for the first time again, it completely changed everything I thought about music.
The Beatles are just great songwriters and we're not afraid to express their creativity!!! That is why they are popular in our general culture and the music culture!!!!
You’d love Oh ! Darling from the Abbey road album . No song sounds like either so far . How right those words are. Every time they put out a new album it sounded nothing like the previous one . We couldn’t believe it was the same band , they always sounded different.
Paul McCartney wrote and created some of rock's most amazing and innovative bass lines and runs. He may not be the most technically perfect, but he WROTE and came up with these amazing, influential and creative bass lines and playing that no one before was doing.
This video is truly a piece of rock history. This rooftop concert was the last public performance by this epic band. Knowing this I was moved to tears.
first time i heard this song, i was really young. and i thought he says "everybody got a fig tree" and my whole family laughed at me for singing fig tree instead of wet dream. and nobody corrected me. i just sang "everybody got a fig tree". and those were the words in my head. everybody got a fig tree. . . why not ?
They've all had beards, at different times, throughout the life of the band. Sometimes all of them at the same time, hehe. They went through some different looks. 😎
I think it's hard for young listeners today to understand the impact that the Beatles had some fifty plus years ago. At that time, there were the Beatles and everyone else. They were original and nothing before them had this sound or impact on a whole generation.
The bass player is the lead singer on this--Paul McCartney. Inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame TWICE. Once as a Beatle and later as a solo artist. UPDATE: All 4 Beatles members were inducted into the 'Hall of Fame' TWICE. Thank you.
The many voices of Paul McCartney. Not to mention the baseline is always amazing. There's a reason his concert still sell out and he's 82 years old. Any beetle Fan knows Paul's abilities. Go down the rabbit hole you will love the journey
Strawberry Fields Forever, Across the Universe, Revolution, Dear Prudence, Tommorow Never Knows, Norwegian Wood, Taxman, The Fool on the Hill, Come Together… etc… etc…
I was an original beatlemaniac. Each album was so different. You had so many song to love on each album. They were influenced by a lot of American music especially soul music.
Now you’ve stepped in it. 😂 That’s Paul on bass. Billy Preston in the back playing electric piano. Try another link to see John singing the other part of the song. I’d suggest ‘Across the Universe’ as the next song. Very different from this song. Can’t say all Beatles songs are great, but most are.
The rooftop performances are really good. They took the album cut from the second take out there. Don't Let Me Down from the rooftop is also really awesome.
They’d only just written this song and this was an impromptu concert on top of Apple Studios in London. They sang it like it had been in their catalogue for years. This whole rooftop concert is fantastic
John, George and Ringo were wearing their wive's or girlfriends jackets as it was cold. I love The Beatles. I'm seventy four and they hit when I was twelve so I grew up with them. I think they're the most important band in rock history and there's hardly a sub genre in rock that they didn't already do or were the inspiration for. Incredible talent throughout the group.
One thing I didn't realize about the Beatles is that growing up after they were huge, virtually everything I heard was influenced by them in some way so it was hard to appreciate how innovative they were until listening to music before they were a thing.
Paul’s bass playing changed lots for everyone. I came of age with them from about 5th grade on. They blew everyone’s mind back then-several times-and continue blowing minds today. I love watching hiphop artists discover the Beatles. Thank you so much. Your reactions remind me of my own 60 years ago. Check out ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ from the 1968 White Album. It could be released tomorrow and still be relevant.
Great ear Polo...Paul McCartney is one of the greatest bass players of all time! The Beatles were truly a genre unto themselves. And it's important to remember, this isn't a small community of rabid fans. The Beatles are the biggest selling music artist of all time (Do a quick google search of "Who is the biggest selling music artist of all time" and you'll see what I'm talking about). Bigger than Elvis, bigger than Michael Jackson, bigger than Dr. Dre or Drake, bigger than Madonna or Rihanna, bigger than Taylor Swift, bigger than any other music artist that EVER breathed air and walked the face of this earth! I'm so happy that you're discovering them now. They are a great gift from God. Peace
@@gioarath001 I disagree. If they were , lets say 10th on the list, or 5th, or even 2nd, I might agree with you. But their album sales (estimated to be over 2.3 billion) are so much higher than ANYBODY else (number 2 is Elvis Presley, with approximately 750 million), that nobody even comes close to their record sale numbers. Not even close. I get the 2.3 billion number from university research performed by Penn State laureate Kenneth Womack. The only way to get accurate numbers from that time period was by university research, since there were no certifying entities keeping track of record sale numbers at that time. Do a google search of "Penn State Beatles 2.3 billion" and click on the first link and you'll see what I mean. Peace
This was their last live performance (January 1969). The group U2 was inspired by them and did a concert on the roof of a L.A. building for the song 'When The Streets Have No Name' in 1987.
Paul McCartney had a beard that day. He’s a fantastic musician, the rare kind of guy who can pick up any instrument and play it well within a few minutes. To me, he’s one of the best, most fluid and creative bass players in the world. He can also play a fierce guitar solo.
This was their last performance together. They produced music after this but this was the last time they performed together. You should watch the entire video.
I highly recommend the documentary "The Beatles: Get Back" on Disney+. It's more than 8 hours long, but you get a front-row seat as the Beatles write and record the songs for their "Let It Be" album. Well worth getting a subscription just to watch that documentary. Throughout, they perform at least part of 200+ songs (I lost count after that), many of them by other artists. Their creative process involved a lot of riffing off each other. The rooftop concert sampled in this video is shown toward the end of the documentary. They were able to record several songs on the roof before the police shut them down for snarling traffic.
It's one of those moments. The metro was there to cut the power to the roof, no permit had been issued to play on the roof. The Beatle's knew they were breaking up, so, one last concert. The rooftop. After which each walked out of Abby Road Studios, never to return as a band.
Fantastic song from their iconic rooftop concert. There is a wonderful cover of this song by the 5th Dimension on their 'Earthbound' album. Billy Davis Jr. smokes on that one. Glad you picked up on that great bass line. Folks too often sleep on Macca's bass playing.
So many songs highlight different facets of their brilliance.. I do love how certain songs take people by surprise.. tomorrow never knows , or helter skelter for instance but honestly you could keep listing song after song that does this..
It’s important to take them in the context of the times when they came out, gained popularity, and changed popular culture and music. It doesn’t take away anything from other artists before or since but they were definitely taking things in a different direction from what it was before they started.
"I didn't even know there was a bearded Beatle." They all started out clean-shaven, started growing more facial hair later on, and went back and forth between having beards, just mustaches, or being completely clean-shaven in the final years the band was together. When they started they went for a uniform look, all in the same clothes and hairstyles, but later on emphasized individual tastes and styles. This footage is from their last public live performance, the Rooftop Concert in 1969. Now, on to the music. They would work in pretty much every style they encountered, always looking for new techinques, new instruments, new ideas to try. They could do pop, blues, hard rock, prog, country, 1920s style music hall, folk, you name it. I don't love every single song they did, but there are very few I listen to and say "that didn't work." They're totally worth doing a deep dive on.
Billy Preston is a key collaboration on this track. You should Google this bit of history with the band plus Billy's involvement with John Lennon's, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr's solo albums. Also played with Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, and toured live as a functional member of the Rolling Stones 1973-77.
I'd like to know who had the nerve to call the constabulary on the Beatles for being too loud. Sacrilege. This was a free concert and if you were lucky enough to be present, you were indeed a witness to history. I consider myself lucky to have been at just the right age for Beatlemania. It has been a privilege to be alive during their era.
This would be the very last time that The Beatles performed together. There is a documentary that shows this performance in its entirety. Along with other songs about this rooftop concert. The police were at the door, and they got in a huge amount of trouble, and they did not care. And that is why they sing the way that they did.
Your system froze. Its a video of their famous ROOFTOP CONCERT. The cops came up and put a stop to it. It was the last time they ever played live, as a group. But, you MUST watch/listen to "DONT LET ME DOWN" from the same rooftop concert. And "GET BACK". You MUST.
Ever since I became interested in music it was The Beatles. It grew from there. The more I listen to the ROOF TOP PERFORMANCE the better it gets. Abbey Road Studios.
I think it's also important to note that they were just 27 and 29 years old when they broke up; almost still kids and what they did by that age is unmatched.

So so so so good. Just a fantastic musician. AND a great guy who the other guys just loved dearly. A great drummer AND a great Beatle.
"Don't let me down" from this same performance/show is TOP TIER
and get back from the roof top
"One After 909"!!
The most enjoyable thing about The Beatles is listening to them grow over a very short span of time from songs such as "She Loves You" to songs like this. They innovated like no other band. No two songs sound alike and each album is an utterly different experience but ALL OF IT is freaking fantastic!!!
She Loves You is the most perfect pop song.
I know they played together for many years before they started recording together, but it’s boggling to think they only recorded together for 7 years.
👏🏽
They did evolve rather quickly from I Wanna Hold your Hand to this!
Their journey was insane!

The Beatles were so innovative!
"WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD" and "I AM THE WALRUS" next please. One raw song and one that engineers today are still dissecting . . . 👍🏽

🌸 anything from the rooftop concert is absolute fire and there's a great backstory behind the concert
Polo: you got the feeling!
I was an original beatlemaniac. Each album was so different. You had so many song to love on each album. They were influenced by a lot of American music especially soul music.
I love their Dig a Pony also
I love this song so much I gave a thumbs up before listening.
The fifth Beatle playing the Keys....BILLY PRESTON
Now you’ve stepped in it. 😂
That’s Paul on bass. Billy Preston in the back playing electric piano.
Try another link to see John singing the other part of the song.
I’d suggest ‘Across the Universe’ as the next song. Very different from this song. Can’t say all Beatles songs are great, but most are.
This performance was live (no overdubs). The bass player, McCartney, is also the primary vocalist.
The rooftop performances are really good. They took the album cut from the second take out there.
Don't Let Me Down from the rooftop is also really awesome.
Simply The Best
Any roof top performance is amazing!!!✌🏻❤️
LOVE THE BEATLES!!! ❤❤❤
They’d only just written this song and this was an impromptu concert on top of Apple Studios in London. They sang it like it had been in their catalogue for years. This whole rooftop concert is fantastic
Paul (the bearded guy) is the genius on the bass.
John, George and Ringo were wearing their wive's or girlfriends jackets as it was cold. I love The Beatles. I'm seventy four and they hit when I was twelve so I grew up with them. I think they're the most important band in rock history and there's hardly a sub genre in rock that they didn't already do or were the inspiration for. Incredible talent throughout the group.
The bobbies were there trying to shut down the concert ... watch the documentary!
U2 tried to recreate the rooftop session and got shot down by the police too.
I won’t tire in saying how glad I am you’re doing an ever deeper Beatles dive!
Ding! Ding! Ding! You got it my friend! ♥️ NO SONG SOUNDS ALIKE!!! They are so musically diversified!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
One thing I didn't realize about the Beatles is that growing up after they were huge, virtually everything I heard was influenced by them in some way so it was hard to appreciate how innovative they were until listening to music before they were a thing.

I am BEGGING you to do "A Day in the Life"
McCartney plays the bass like an electric guitar, he started out on guitar
Keep listening. You got a lot to learn about them.
Fantastic song from their iconic rooftop concert. There is a wonderful cover of this song by the 5th Dimension on their 'Earthbound' album. Billy Davis Jr. smokes on that one. Glad you picked up on that great bass line. Folks too often sleep on Macca's bass playing.
So many songs highlight different facets of their brilliance.. I do love how certain songs take people by surprise.. tomorrow never knows , or helter skelter for instance but honestly you could keep listing song after song that does this..
It’s important to take them in the context of the times when they came out, gained popularity, and changed popular culture and music. It doesn’t take away anything from other artists before or since but they were definitely taking things in a different direction from what it was before they started.
The best ever!
Polo, what you're watching in this video is the very last time that the Beatles ever played together.
"I didn't even know there was a bearded Beatle." They all started out clean-shaven, started growing more facial hair later on, and went back and forth between having beards, just mustaches, or being completely clean-shaven in the final years the band was together. When they started they went for a uniform look, all in the same clothes and hairstyles, but later on emphasized individual tastes and styles. This footage is from their last public live performance, the Rooftop Concert in 1969.
Now, on to the music. They would work in pretty much every style they encountered, always looking for new techinques, new instruments, new ideas to try. They could do pop, blues, hard rock, prog, country, 1920s style music hall, folk, you name it. I don't love every single song they did, but there are very few I listen to and say "that didn't work." They're totally worth doing a deep dive on.
Who needs video with pure talent wrting lyrics and music that they performed .
One of my favorite Beatles songs 😊
Billy Preston is a key collaboration on this track. You should Google this bit of history with the band plus Billy's involvement with John Lennon's, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr's solo albums. Also played with Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, and toured live as a functional member of the Rolling Stones 1973-77.
13 Studio set albums 183 million in sales and the Beatles have sold a billion records worldwide🤯🤯🤯
What a voice.
The unbelievable this is, that they had about 100 songs, that were incredible like this one
The harmonies !!! When Paul's doing Lennon's style !!!
Another great track from the rooftop concert and Billy Preston on keyboards
I'd like to know who had the nerve to call the constabulary on the Beatles for being too loud. Sacrilege. This was a free concert and if you were lucky enough to be present, you were indeed a witness to history. I consider myself lucky to have been at just the right age for Beatlemania. It has been a privilege to be alive during their era.
This would be the very last time that The Beatles performed together. There is a documentary that shows this performance in its entirety. Along with other songs about this rooftop concert. The police were at the door, and they got in a huge amount of trouble, and they did not care. And that is why they sing the way that they did.
Your system froze.
Its a video of their famous ROOFTOP CONCERT.
The cops came up and put a stop to it.
It was the last time they ever played live, as a group.
But, you MUST watch/listen to "DONT LET ME DOWN" from the same rooftop concert.
And "GET BACK".
You MUST.
The concert on the roof. The last time the Beatles ever played together in public and the cops shut them down after they played 5 songs.
McCartney on bass and vocals. He was incredibly groundbreaking on that instrument!
Love this song. Pearl Jam does a great cover as well.
Ever since I became interested in music it was The Beatles. It grew from there. The more I listen to the ROOF TOP PERFORMANCE the better it gets. Abbey Road Studios.
I think it's also important to note that they were just 27 and 29 years old when they broke up; almost still kids and what they did by that age is unmatched.
Remember Paul who is singing, is also playing the bass guitar!!!
