Nobody in this par
t of the world had any idea what was happening in the heart of London at lunchtime on a chilly Thursday, January 30, 1969. The Beatles were being filmed all month while recording songs which would eventually become the Let It Be album, released some 15 months later. They wanted to finish the movie with a live concert and they decided on the rooftop on their own Apple office building at 3 Savile Row, a very staid and proper street! Well, it certainly didn’t take more than an instant for the passersby five stories below to realize the music they were hearing was new Beatles music, being performed BY the Beatles themselves! The surrounding streeet became packed as a most rare and exciting musical event was happening right there in front of their ears! It was to be The Beatles last live public performance, 44 years ago today. By the way, there are very strong rumblings that Let It Be will finally be released on DVD in 2013. If and when that is officially announced, we will pass that information to you immediately.
The Original & Longest Running Beatles Celebration, Since 1974!
I remember it well to bad it had to end that day they were the best and still are thr greatest.
I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for Let it Be to come out on DVD. I hope this latest round of rumblings is true! Thanks for the info.
I don’t understand why you don’t see more Billy Preston in the pics taken on that day.
