Rooftop Concert From Let It Be 1/30/69

The Beatles perform their legendary "rooftop concert" atop Apple Studios, 3 Savile Row, London. They play for about 42 minutes, about half of which is included in the movie "Let It Be". The police arrive, after neighbors complain, and they bring the Beatles' final live performance to a close. The Beatles perform "Get Back" three times (twice to open the performance and a third time to close it). An edit of the first two "Get Back" versions is seen in the movie, along with Paul and John's ad-libs at the end of the third: Paul sings, "You've been playing on the roofs again, and you know your Momma doesn't like it, she's gonna have you arrested"; after the song's close, John quips, "I'd like to say 'thank you' on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition!" The Beatles also perform "Don't Let Me Down", "I've Got a Feeling", "The One After 909", "Dig a Pony",a second "I've Got a Feeling", and a second "Don't Let Me Down". The "Let It Be" movie includes the following 'rooftop' songs: "Don't Let Me Down", "I've Got a Feeling", "One After 909", "Dig A Pony", and "Get Back". The third take of "Get Back" is included on "The Beatles Anthology 3" (Disc two, Track 12).
