    George was 25, Paul was 26, and John & Ringo were both 28 when this was filmed. The Beatles would be no more by the end of the year. Just phenomenal what they accomplished in such a short time at such a young age.

      George stopped playing guitar for a year or so to focus on the sitar. But for three years, from 1969 to 1971, he was one of the most musical guitar players/songwriters in all of rock. Watch him construct his rhythm part on the video of John recording "Oh My Love". Great song, but George's guitar elevates it to the heavens.

      @@abcxyz53 Uh, the "Let It Be" guitar solo (album version)? "Something" probably has to be the best Beatles guitar solo ever (unless you count Eric Clapton on "While my Guitar ..." John barely manages to play the very simple "Get Back" solo, and messed it up a few times. Paul played a more aggressive rock and roll style, which suited certain songs (e.g. Helter Skelter, Taxman), But George was the best guitarist in the band. By far.

    The Beatles are a life long friend. We grew up together, felt the joys and pain. Not always on my mind as I grow older and more distant, but all it takes is a song when up or down, and we’re once again in support, right along side and right back where it began. When that feeling transcends everything else and can at a moment snap you back in, there is more in that feeling than life in of itself. Lifelong friends to the end.

    This is actually one of my favorite Beatles songs.

They were obviously enjoying playing live. Let It Be is probably my favorite Beatles album.

And Hank would be nothing without other dudes that inspired him so those dudes are the best? All the way back to the first dude who first made some music tapping some sticks on a rock so that one is the best?

      Well, not the Beatles , but I was 17 and staying with my older brother in Marin County in 1974. One evening while walking around Sausilito, I heard Clapton music coming out of a small hole in the wall and peeked in to get a look. Nobody cared to ID me. It was him, playing impromptu with some locals. Early Un-Plugged jam. He was my Idol at the time, so I was feeling pretty pumped. Saw him perform at the Cow Palace a week later.

    For all the talent in the Beatles, and especially Paul's genius playing of the bass, when it comes down to brass tacks, my favorite Beatles songs must have John on lead vocals. Dig A Pony never had any radio play except on the college low power stations. This can easily rank as their greatest song, or at least in the top five. John's voice is hauntingly beautiful, as he so often is. I also think he wrote most of the lyrics to Dig A Pony. That is always a source of debate with followers of the Beatles. Was it John, Paul, or both who wrote the lyrics and the chord line? In my uneducated opinion, this one is all John. Shout out to Ringo for steady rhythm and George for his very creative lead guitar. We will never see the likes of these four again.

    The height of cool. They were just so iconic in this performance. I'm no musical expert - I can't play or sing anything - but as a very long time lover of it, I feel this song doesn't fit into the normal structure or genre you could slot most other songs into. The lyrics are kind of impenetrable, it moves between rock, country and blues. And it's structure is ... weird. The pauses, the harmonies, the vocals...very unique and feel so blessed to view it being performed live.
