The Beatles and The Rooftop Gig: Part 2 - A new phase BEATLES performance...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 мар 2019
- In this two-part series, we’re exploring why and how The Beatles ended up on the roof, as opposed to anywhere else in the world. Part 1 is here: • The Beatles and The Ro...
In Part 2, we go deep into the conversations and ideas the band and production crew had about how the "project" - film or otherwise - should end. This video picks up on January 2 at Twickenham Studios and continues through the show day.
The band explored some wild ideas for the gig: returning to the Cavern Club, a concert for dogs, playing at the amphitheatre at Libya's Sabratha ruins. But ultimately the roof won out, and you'll learn why here.

The restored LET IT BE film is finally on the way! What are YOU looking forward to more: the movie or Peter Jackson’s film? 🧝♂️🧙
All I know is the original cut is depressing and really makes the Beatles look bad character and playing wise. One can only hope that Jackson's new cut makes this film a lot more professional and makes the Fab 4 a lot more fab.
Peter Jackson's film because I've already seen a lot of "Let It Be."
uncut rooftop performance
@@rizalo1140, yes! All 42 minutes of it.
Full unedited Rooftop concert I'm praying for this !
Imagine just sitting in a club one night expecting to listen to some bands that you've never heard before and they walk out and ITS THE FUCKING BEATLES
That idea was pretty good
We all know Hey Bulldog with an audience of dogs would've been the right choice ;)
////
That’s some facts
I was down in the Street below,, I remember Iv got a Feeling blew us all away.. I was 19
Wow, so lucky! Awesome!
The ship idea was bad, it would have been like the bus in "Magical Mystery Tour", a major mistake. The roof top in hindsight seems a perfect end to a band that achieved near perfection in it's music and musical/social impact.
It was a bad idea.
But,.... part of me kind of wish they would've done it, if only for the perfect train wreck it would've undoubtably been.
Leave it to George to suggest the Cavern club. That was a great and sensible idea.
I seem to remember George saying that everyone else was bringing useless people into the studio ( Yoko, then Linda ) so he decided I'll bring someone in who can actually contribute something ( Billy Preston ).
Not to mention Eric Clapton
Linda was there just occasionally, no comparison to Yoko.
On the other hand I wouldn´t have survived a single day in any studio with Yoko and whiny George. I wonder how Paul managed to do so.
@@anonymusum Was George whiney?
@@nickostendorf2558 Eric would have done his best to overshadow them.
Yes, a bloke who couldn't play the piano as well as Paul and was on the same level as John. He was brought in to try and stop the faction fighting going on, which was strange because George was the one who had wanted out since 67.
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Imagine going to see a band you’ve never heard of called Ricky and the Red Streaks and the Beatles walk out instead
I want to travel to different alternate universes just to see the Beatles perform at the Roman temple, in front of dogs, and in my room right now.
Cool to hear that playing in a Roman amphitheater had been considered. Pink Floyd famously released a concert film shot in the amphitheater in Pompeii a few years later, I wonder if somehow the idea that had been kicked around by the Beatles made it's way to Floyd or if it was just an independent coincidence.
I read in Nick Mason's book that their manager or a roadie left his wallet behind at the amphitheatre after a day of tourism in Pompeii. when he returned to look for it in the evening he noticed the acoustics of the place from the flies buzzing around and suggested the band should play there. could all be made up of course though
Max Was thinking just that!
@@PatioRSHello patrrikk, I think they got the idea from the band Jefferson Airplane playing on a roof top...
Yes, it's interesting that the Floyd Pompeii film includes footage of them recording Dark Side, which was engineered by Alan Parsons, who was also present at the Beatles' rooftop concert.
I saw McCartney play the Colloseum in 2003 and he was fabulous, so his dream was correct in hindsight! :)
Beatles Beatles Beatles 🐞 🐞 🐞 🐞 ! Can't get enough of this beautiful very artistic band.
I drove Alan Parsons from the airport once, long ago. Didn't think to ask him any Beatles questions! Nice guy. Surprisingly big and tall. He was running behind, so I was driving fairly fast. "Do you think we could possibly slow down just a bit...?"
I almost didn't watch this. I figured it was going to be a bunch crap with wrong facts. You did a great job. You did your homework. You have a new follower. Thanks!
Dittos to what Keith said.
Cannibal Dude, You are right about Jefferson Airplane being first with the rooftop concert(Chelsea Hotel on New York two weeks earlier). Everyone seems to forget that. I am surprised that Marty Balin, Grace Slick or other band members haven't said anything. Saying the Beatles started that trend is like saying they invented rock n roll.
Same here, IV wanted to know the book story to why the rooftop of all places and good to know other people have had the same thought and even made videos on the topic..this guy did a good job..I'm gonna check out his other Beatles videos if he has them.
BUT IT IS CRAP...all these wannabees loving the sound of their own voices....way too many random jamming clips now up...lets just wait..
Dude, if it’s not your cup of tea, just downvote it and move along. Why waste your time here?
"We've all had it wrong" I think refers to a comment by Peter Jackson made that the footage actually shows The Beatles having fun and getting along for the most part. We shall soon see!
I'll second that, Hoggs version opens with a solemn Ringo sat by Paul playing a piano dirge which sets the tone, the rest of it feels cold, lots of clicking heels in vast cold spaces, empty facial expressions etc.
they generally enjoyed playing together- it was the personal and especially the business stuff that really drove them apart.
From the footage of George having it out with Paul at Twikenham "Ill play or not play at all, whatever you would like and what ever pleases you...." - and his comments about it on the "All Things Must Pass" blu-ray, I don't think George was having a good time at all. War is Over (If you Want it).
One day we will see...
Paul and Ringo have gotten old ; George and John didn't get to get old but Beatles music never gets old. Thanks for these very professional and fascinating posts.
Well said. Glad you enjoyed the vids.
great insight into rooftop concert. i went to the bldg 30 years later, looked up, and could hear the band playing!
Jefferson Airplane may have been the first to play on a roof, but after 50 years what is still celebrated is the Beatles' achievement.
This is simply fantastic journalism! Thank you so much.
thank you for your intelligent, thorough, accurate and FRESH work. Great stuff!
Symbolic. They started as new faces playing in cellars like the cavern, the⭐ club in hamburg, and ended as the most famous people in the world, playing on a roof.
Don't forget " I hope we passed the audition" from John. LOL.
I thoroughly enjoyed your production.
You are a top-quality commentator and your style is much appreciated.
Great job! I love The Beatles and I love your excellent series on the Beatles. Thank you!
At one point in the rooftop concert footage, Yoko Ono is seen in the background apparently passing a joint to somebody else.
Thanks for following up, we were eagerly waiting! Such a fascinating topic... #pepperland
I was almost 14 in January 1969 and vividly remember seeing footage of them playing on the rooftop. It blew me away then and still does. I've watched it dozens of times on my Let it Be DVD and now it's on RUclips I can watch on a large screen telly! Can't wait for Peter Jackson's film and the hopefully digitally restored Let it Be.
The Roman amphitheatre idea was resurrected a few years later by Pink Floyd (live at Pompeii). And I had no idea Jefferson Airplane did a rooftop gig the year before.
Thanks a million for your extremely well-done videos. Always a treat to watch and learn.
My pleasure!
All I know is they sounded great on the roof concert. How great it would've been if they stayed together and started touring again.
Agreed. There are so many "I wish" and "what ifs," aren't there?
@@FabFourArchivist Easily one of the biggest non-political what-ifs of all time.
they were astounding considering the situation and especially the conditions that day. 909 groove- and George's lead/fill work! Get back- the best take- Ringo! Only fools say 'they weren't a great live band'. One strange thing- Preston's keyboards on GB in the film almost seem out of synch compared to the record. Just slightly strange, timing wise. Anyone ever notice this?
@@timothysullysullivan2571 Sounds to me like Lennon comes in a beat early at the end and it throws everyone off
They were always a great performing band. This was overshadowed by their studio work when they stopped touring, but they never lost the knack. After the hard grind of the touring years, it was in their bones.
Thanks Lance. Love your channel and the insight into this famous part of Beatles history. Happy Anniversary Beatles! (It’s Jan 30th 2020 as I write this)
Thank you so much mate your commentary sir was spot on very enjoyable to see and listen two the fab 4 will forever be in our hearts and minds dispite what they endured to make it happen the best thing they tought me was love and wanting to play guitar God Bless you and Thank you sir (As I write this letter....stay safe mate cheers
Yay! Hope you're back in full force and the Blue Meanies leave you alone
Thanks Joe. Me too! 🤞
Great stuff here. Well done. I was only 5 when the rooftop concert took place but, besides being a huge Beatles fan, my parents were also fans and good friends of John Szwed (author of So What. The life of Miles Davis; and professor Emeritus of anthropology, African American music, and a host of other academic titles) and I grew up hearing stories from my father about his personal conversations with Szwed who had been following this group of kids that he was certain were going to be “The next big thing.” They were playing a tiny underground club called The Cavern Club near where he was living at the time. This would have been around late 1962, early 63. My parents, both English professors at the Ohio State University and former classmates of Johns, told that story enough that when I finally met John in the mid 1970’s, I felt I was in the presence of a seer of mythical proportions. Great video. JS would approve!
I love the fact The Beatles wanted to do something stripped-down and not over-produced in the end. I don't see that happening with bands nowadays.
Thanks for this!
Love the part where someone yells out, "Rock and Roll" and John yells back "You to!"
I really enjoyed this video. Very interesting and very well researched and explained by you
What is amazing is the sheer quality of The Beatles performance on the roof. Lots of those numbers made the ‘Let It Be’ album.Considering it was so cold up there and trying to get their respective fingers hands and fingers working to perform without making lots of mistakes, always impressive.
Not to mention keeping the instruments in tune.
awesome video great to learn more about this time in the Beatles history,great job😀
The most simple solution, elegant and true.
I've been a professional radio announcer for 30 years. I must say you good a good, clean job with your material
Really appreciate that, Bryan. Been trying to up the game on the tech side, and my VO audio got a lot better with this one. Glad it comes across.
Thank You!EXCELLENT commentary!!😎
Utterly absorbing -- thanks so much
Aww, thank you!
This is how the Beatles decided going to play on the roof 😊 :
Paul -“We could go out on a boat... playing live on the deck... a concert. Helicopters filming...”
George. -“Mmm... “
Paul -“Or we go to the pyramids in Egypt.. a fabulous stage ...the sun setting...”
Ringo -“..........”
George. -“Well... or maybe we could just...”
Paul -“Or we can go on the roof! Play live...!”
Ringo. -“.............”
George -“I don’t want to go on the roof”
Paul. -“John? What’d y’say?”
(John is making out with Yoko)
Ringo - “.......”
Paul. -“OK then lads! It’s decided! The roof it is then!”
Loving your work, very well done mate.
As always excellent overview. Thanks.
Was just thinking about this yesterday loved it super cool insights had no idea bout the amphitheater thing
Thanks Nate. Yeah, I’m surprised that story has not been told more often. I bet we’ll hear about it in the Peter Jackson doc.
I really enjoyed the rooftop series, thank you!!
Thanks Joe! Glad you liked it! Tell your friends. ;)
my bass player and I watched the Let it Be movie and considered it was very good. I loved practically everything they did!!!!
I love how you film these, also you have a clean background and not an annoying voice which makes me like it even more aha.
Haha... Thank you!
Excellent! Thanks very much.
Thanks Kevin. Glad you enjoyed it!
My Pleasure Man! It's a great channel and I've spread the word!🙂😎🎶
Very good presentation enjoyed it very much
I like the idea of a cruise ship. Passengers wander into the ships theatre expecting to see a generic house band playing covers and it turns out that the house band is The Beatles. In those days there were no cell phones, so no one outside the ship would know for a few days until the ship docked.
Actually The Seekers, who knocked the Beatles of the number one singles slot in the mid 1960s, did work as a house band on a ship. But that was before they became famous, they worked their passage from Melbourne to London and a few months later they had a series of major hits.
loved the beatle story...greatest band EVER..!!
i feel honored. great video
Excellent video mate! Respect from a big Beatles fan!
Thanks a bunch Keith. Glad you enjoyed.
Great info, I thoroughly enjoyed your information and explanation.
I do believe the Jefferson Airplane Rooftop performance played a key role, to seeding the Beatles Rooftop Concert. Cheers !
The greatest band in history that changed the world......we miss this foursome.....
Be grateful we still have Paul performing
Great work and Thank You for mentioning The Airplane show 2 months before The Beatles.
Thanks Mp. JA’s gig was a big deal, but was more “art” than entertainment- still curious if Paul knew about it beforehand.
@@FabFourArchivist I imagine he did... he would've been in NYC lot around that time. He was dating Linda and was trying to get get her father to take over Beatles management. Sadly the rest of the band plumpted for Klein.
Incredible video man! Very informative!!
Thanks so much Tim. Labor of love!
None of the Beatles went to the premier, but Cynthia and Jane Asher did(go figure)
Good stuff. Thankyou
Damn, these videos need more views.
John: where should we do our last performance, lads
*Ringo unenthusiastically gets behind drum kit*
Paul: WhY dOnT We dO iT oN ThE ROOF?
*George smiles*
this is amazing! so interesting and in depth!
Thanks so much! These are always fun to put together, but this series went a little deeper than I first expected. 😳😬
FabFourArchivist oh no I loved it! Thank you for all the work you put in! Love learning new things about the Beatles!
Years ago I rented the LIB movie (VHS tape) and had the option to buy it, but it was well-used so I returned it thinking that I could buy a new copy later. I never saw another copy again-except offered at a Russian site-until I saw it on RUclips. I sure hope the 50th anniversary copy is worth the wait-WAIT! Am I that old?
Excellent; very well researched and presented.
Thanks Peter. Glad your enjoyed.
For what it's worth, maybe I can add in one or two tidbits here. Since late summer 1968 I had been working for the Stones as a general assistant (factotum) and, in that capacity, had entered into good friendly & respectful relations with Michael Lindsey Hogg during weeks & weeks of preparations for the Stones' 'Rock'n'Roll Circus'. Circa Xmas 1968, ML-H lamented during conversation (as he commonly did at the time) that there was dissent within the Beatles, that John then George then Ringo had had enough and were on the point of quitting the band, and -- moreover -- that no one had a clue about what to do in order to fulfill an outstanding United Artists contract that called for 4 movies (following A Hard Day's Night, Help, and Yellow Submarine). Thus, desperation abounded -- other than the vague idea of filming some kinda live performance. I opined to ML-H that it really shouldn't be so hard to come up with a good idea, with which he promptly challenged me to produce one, which to his amazement and instant enthusiasm I did. Recently I had been glancing through an issue of National Geographic and had been entranced by photos of a Roman amphitheater and associated structures abutting the desert in, as I today remember it, Tunisia (not Libya). I had fantasized that this would make an awesome venue for a Stones concert but, at that6 time, with the ongoing demise of Brian Jones, the Stones's very future was uncertain, and even in some jeopardy. So in just a moment I revamped this idea, projecting that the film would open with just the 4 Beatles playing at night around a campfire, which dawn (and wider angle lenses) would then reveal to be located, in fact, in that amphitheater. And, soon thereupon, in small groups but getting ever larger, as though attracted by the by then amplified & broadcast sounds, any number of desert locals would arrive, but followed soon by folks of all ethnicities and colours and costumes from all over the world. As I intimated above, ML-H was totally sold on the idea, but then came back to me a week or two later with disappointing news -- viz., Ringo had ruled out the idea a priori saying he did not like the food (not that he had ever been to North Africa, but in any case could have taken with him any number of suitcases of his favourite Heinz Baked Beans). I remember ML-H felt crushed, but I think only now do I learn here of McCartney's embellishment of the idea -- i.e., hiring a cruise ship to get to the Mediterranean and rehearsing thereon. --- Btw, yes I did then attend the rooftop concert, seated on the rooftop of a multi-storey car-park across Saville Row immediately opposite the band -- indeed, just some 12 or at most 15 meters away -- and was quite blown away by just how good it was. (As I remember it, 5 songs, each of them performed thrice so different versions could be spliced if necessary.) Mind, I felt pissed that Billy Preston was not better featured, seeing as he was integral to the music -- indeed, I felt the band should have honoured this dude as a (> the) Fifth Beatle. Oh well, tant pis. By now it's all water under the bridge but hope, nevertheless, that some might find my recollections interesting. --- Oh yeah, forgot to say, you can see me briefly in the movie sitting cross-legged with long hair during a sort of uncanny 'Magritte moment' (note the bloke's hat if not pipe) in the middle of 'Get Back'.
Hey Peter - INCREDIBLE comment. Wow. Thank you. I'd like to pin this to the top so others see it, but I'd like to verify you're the 'real' Peter Swales. Hope that makes sense... Can you email me so we can chat further? Email is just this channel's name at gmail.com.
Yeah, for sure, I'm the real thing -- i.e., I am who I say I am. And yeah, I shall try dropping you a DM via gmail if you just give me a few moments.
Never got to hear back from you all these months later. Wossup?
Still today, close to the end of 2019, never did hear back from you, FFA. If still you doubt who I truly am, go check out Barry Miles's biography of McCartney -- I recounted for him roughly the same story over 20 years back and, as I recall, he used it in his book.
Love those Beatles facts!❤
WOW .. up till now ... I never new about the Jefferson Airplane Rooftop gig. I can only put that down to the Beatles carisma over-shadowing others.
and it was the last.
Excellent series. Thanks for posting.
On another point, glad you brought up Billy Preston's contribution. I've been led to understand he helped keep the band together, at least for a short period of time.
As for the rooftop concert itself, I think they performed extremely well and seemed to enjoy it immensely. This is the way I choose to remember them as a band.
They didn't want the screaming adoring fans right in their face messing up the sound. The rooftop gave them a buffer zone
Thank you for this. 👍🏽🤘🏽👊🏽
Epic. The Beatles were ... are epic.
Why the roof? Because The Beatles have always been and will remain on top of the world.
Yes!!!
Great video - much appreciated!!
Thank you for watching Paul!
Great.... really enjoyed it..
Thanks Jerry!
What a wonderful down home ending to such a storied career. IMHO, the Beatles chose well playing up on the roof.
I agree.
I’d add that the complexities of most of the songs on Abbey Road wouldn’t have translated well to the stage in ‘69, so the Let It Be tracks were a good match for this setup. (Their own ‘oldies’ were never in the running.)
My favorite part of the story is how they almost bailed out at the very last second while they waited at the top of the staircase leading to the roof.
Here's the main thing I want from Peter Jackson's version: high quality (both audio & video) footage of not only the rooftop gig in its entirety, but also the other songs they recorded in performance mode (Two of Us, Let it Be, Long & Winding Road). Because most of that material is not available on yt or blueray or streaming or any other media. What he does with all the endless jamming or the endless discussions or whatever take he has on the narrative is up to him & I'll be fine with.
Agreed with one exception. I'd love to just see them jam.
One thing is for sure; video won't be cropped as it was for its original home video release.
8:16 the guy on the top left standing right at the edge of the roof is a brave soul indeed
Yes, I noticed him standing there very relaxed, inches from death.!
Excellent video.
Funny, as a teen in the 90 , I read they decided to go to the roof when that went to smoke a joint between sessions
XD
For what it’s worth, on the rooftop the guys were smiling, cutting up a bit, like they were having fun playing again. Also it was like this is the end and we’re done
A very enjoyable video -- thanks. I'm looking forward to Peter Jackson's project and to the restored LET IT BE film. One of my big regrets -- in August '81, while on a vacation from the US to England, my pal & I beelined over to Savile Row to sign the door (soon removed to a museum, I think). Late in a workday, a young construction worker exited, and we had a fun little conversation about the place, then being renovated for a new owner. The construction worker said that interesting papers had been discovered during the demolition process. Foolishly, neither my friend nor I thought of asking to be taken up to the roof. The bloke would have done it, especially for a small bribe that would have been worth it! I think I've read that the roof has been reconfigured since then.
I made the same trek in '99. Abby Road, Saville rd, and up north to Liverpool. Twas a memorable trip. When I visited, the Apple building had become some financial investment concern. It was closed when me and my friend got there. I did get the 'vibe' though, and took a pic of the front of the roof. I recall how narrow the streets were. Sounds like you had a good visit, too bad about not getting to go up. Oh well, as a fellow 'Yank', I know you cherish the trip to Britain, as much as I did. I also got to Dublin, from Liddypool by boat, for a few days. That was inspired, as well! 😎
Such a shame that the Beatles broke up just as concert technology was getting so much better. Just having real monitors up there so they could hear themselves would have made such a difference. And like the Stones, they could have brought extra musicians on a tour to more closely replicate the sounds of the studios.
Ahh...well. Glad I've lived 55 of my 58 years with the sound of their music in my ears.
Great videos, keep it up :)
Great video. You have a new subscriber!!
And the 8 hour get Back Sessions released to Disney was a phenomenal documentary to watch!
Well said and well researched, FFA! I have gathered many bootlegs over the years from these sessions and have an inborn fascination with what and how these many songs were played. While I hope the original film’s restoration has pitch correction and better editing, I place more well wishes with Sir Peter Jackson and his team in making the footage from the vaults pristine in audio as well as visually.
BTW, Ringo said at the time Let it BeNaked was promoted that he and Paul heard a 5.1 Surround mix of the finished album. THAT should be released as a bonus disc with the set next year! What say you?
Fred Grady Thanks Fred!
I think the success of the recent Pepper and White Album deluxe sets indicate fans want as much content as possible and we’re willing to pay for it. Extra takes, BTS docs, faithful restorations... you name it.
I bet they’ll swing for the fences. LIB has been on fans’ wish lists for literally decades.
So many random ideas. I like the Libya one.
I loved it all yay Beatles
I like the concert for dogs idea.
thank god cheek squeak and the brown streaks canceled the german gig
I suggest reading Bob Spitz' book on the Beatles. A lengthy read for sure, but one you can't put down. The rooftop performance is discussed, but more importantly, what they went through daily with each other. You finally realize that it was no one to blame on the break up, they were just done being Beatles. I have a good feeling of closure with it all now.
Mike McHugh Well said and good recommendation. IMO, the LIB movie was heavy handed with the drama - it’s not like the month of January was the death knell. Unpleasant at times, sure, but there was a lot more going on.
These are terrific! I had an English teacher in high school, Miss Hogg and she pronounced her name with a long O sound, like the diphthong O + A in the word boat. I'm guessing Lindsay-Hogg does the same. Great work on the videos, thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them. Hogg = 'hog' in all the interviews I've watched. (I looked it up because I'd heard both ways from fans, but anything involving MLH had the short o!)
Brazilian rock singer Roberto Carlos made a rooftop videoclip of his song "Quando" in 1967
great job
Thank you! 🙏
Hearing those ideas for various shows and events, you just know the end of the 60s was a completely insane time.
Great point. Lots of money plus uninhibited creativity back then!
FabFourArchivist thank you so much for your passion and hard work on this channel. Always liked the Beatles but was never an aficionado. You provide an excellent source of historical info and fun details.
great job. makes me wanna do some abbey rd mashups!!
It’s about time a WWI film came out. I’ve heard rumors about this for years. Can’t wait!
Good stuff!
Thanks so much! You've got a great channel yourself!
FabFourArchivist - Thanks! Let me know if you ever need music for stuff like this again. Our videos shouldn’t have the Content ID issue
Thank you for this video. What was new to me was that Michael Lindsay Hogg directed 'Rock And Roll Circus'. The Stones buried their television special. With that they also buried how and why it was made. They buried it partly because it was the last recorded footage of Brian Jones who died before the footage had completed being edited. Jon Luc Goddard had recorded The Rolling Stones, including a deteriorating Brian Jones, in 'One plus One' before 'Rock and Roll Circus'. When Michael Lindsay Hogg was contacted by The Beatles to make their film, The Beatles partly wanted Lindsay Hogg to do for them what Jon Luc Goddard had done for The Rolling Stones in 'One plus One', minus Goddard's Marxism which The Beatles did not need. The Goddard filming of Jefferson Airplane is an interesting footnote to add, given the above. The untold story here is surely Jon Luc Goddard vs Michael Lindsay Hogg in the pursuit of creative ways of filming music that was played live. P.s. Michael Lindsay Hogg is still alive, though long retired. I hope that Apple give him the right space to comment on the rejigged footage that they release.
