The Beatles rooftop concert 1969 history
Lil History:
The band came back together in 1969 and began shooting a film that was supposed to show them in the writing and recording process of their next album, “Let It Be.” Instead the tension within the group overflowed onto the camera and being constantly filmed began to be an annoyance only flaming the fires.
The session and filming was stopped and they went to Apple Saville Row Studios to finish the album. The sessions finally ended in the famous “rooftop” concert
sessions finally ended in the famous “rooftop” concert. They went up on the roof of Apple and began playing, as the crowd grew the police eventually showed and ended the show, this was the last time The Beatles performed live together.

I was an apprentice tailor at Huntsmans in Savile row, we were outside the back entrance when a limo pulled up & Paul McCartney lent out of the window & asked me & my mate Allan Bennet if we wanted to come up onto the roof of Apple to watch the Beatles play, we said no as our lunch break was just about over but thanks all the same, (we were Mods & didn't like the beatles anyhow, it was all Ska for us)so back to work & the music started, Alan couldnt resist & up onto the roof he went him & and an apprentice from Geives were the only members of the public up there, a few years ago the Standard run a piece on the event with photos Alan included, check it out.
