In America today, the cops would have busted the scene with heavy use of violence, use of tasers probably, and all four would have been accused of terrorism.
This Is what you call a group my all time Fav Beatles song and clip got the whole thing on DVD it's amazing and they were just announcing they were splitting up remember it like it was yesterday watching it on the News.
@ererye this rooftop concert is historical for obvious reasons but is far from the best thing they ever did imo. songs like yesterday and strawberry fields forever are masterful compositions, and things like she loves you are just great pop songs that were far more exciting than anything anyone had ever heard before at the time. this video is hardly a showcase of the best works of the beatles - this was a difficult time for them, the beginning of the end.
divino Paul no me canso de verlo daria todo por haber disfrutado de sus conciertos en vivo.......... privilegio para aquellas k vivieron esta epoca TE AMO PAUL
Nací en 1983 pero apenas empecé a oír a The Beatles hace un par de años. Es increíble la magia que desprenden en sus canciones y en sus presentaciones en vivo no tienen igual. Sin duda alguna, la mejor música de la historia. !No puedo dejar de oírlos!
God, these guys changed my life. From the moment my mother gave birth to me, I have been listening to them. Actually that's the only genuine thankfulness I have for my mother-- that she exposed me to such good 60s music, haha. She didn't even know much about Beatles because she wasn't into "pop" music during her teen years (in the 60s). But she knew their music because they were unavoidably popular =) Weird that I know more details about them than my mom though!
@kink66 UGH... it was just the fact that the music carried a mile in every direction from that rooftop. And, im sure there were more than a few " Bobbies " who heard it before anyone complained at all ! Im also sure the police were reluctant to close em down too soon. After all, they were The Beatles !!
@rindoni they actually played it three times, only half of the actual concert was used for let it be, they played many songs twice, so they get multiple versions for the studio mixing
@rindoni The second "Get Back" was a message to the Police.
The Beatles wanted to end this concert by being arrested to spite the Police.
Hence Paul says "You've been playing on the rooftops too long, you know your mummy doesn't like that, she's gonna have you arrested" or something along those lines.
who complained to the police....? was what they were doing on the rooftop so wrong? jeeeezz...Guess theyre sorry now, looking back 30plus years.. but i guess no one is above the law...not even the Beatles..
the Beatles rock!! dude, u have to listen to what the say around 6:40...... the songs is supposed to stop but Paul Continues playing.... Beatles Forever
That man in the building should't have opened the door. Seriously. It was a terrible mistake. I'd rather be arrested than letting them in to stop the concert.
Any of you musicians out there, can you tell us what George stepped on after cranking the amp back up? It appears cops told Evans to tell the beatles to turn it down, George shakes his head NO, it gets turned down, George looks back, John notices nada from his guitar and stops playing and turns around, George cranks it up and steps on something a couple of times??? When the cops leave they all have a big sh.. eating grin.
Cops are not the king of cool Ringo is. They could not even get the band to turn down the volume. But at 9 seconds, Ringo shuts them down in a second HOLD IT right after he struggles to get a lighter out of that subtle raincoat.
Great band but boy do Paul and John ever lose the downbeat often. Infact at 6:52, both Paul and Billy drop the 1. I guess part of the creative process is not being good with the mathematical side of the brain.
I love this so fuckin much,,,my head is almost gonna explode....and thats before the anti fascism of today's society settles in...this band rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the looks in the eyes of the women in this concert, from the rooftop, to the street, as soon as they realize that the Beatles are really there, it becomes that direct stare that where I am from we call "f@$k me eyes. Sorry, just noticed it, and thought it was hilarious!
For anyone who wanted to read Paul's little quote at the end.
" Yeah Get Back, Not too long Loretta, you'll be playing on the roofs again, and that's no good! Cause you know your mommy doesn't like that, ahhh she gets angry, She's gonna have your neck, now Get Back! "
@keeptheloonies especially seeing their ages, that is why they hung out for a second, "Shit, I have to shut this down, but maybe just one more song!" Ha
If only people had the balls to stick their fingers up to the establishment now..If only Lennon could see london now(can't fart without the thought police jumpin on ya).
4:40 i love how george doesn't give a fuck and just turns the amps back on. (: & i'm just gonna throw it out there that i love george's outfit haha. <3
Not ALL police are dicks....I for one retired as a LEO and was often accused of being to 'lenient' by my comrades in arms. I took great discretion on the street and let many people walk away, and to this day have many many friends for NOT being a dick. These Bobbies seemed pretty cool to me....after all, it was the friggin BEATLES
@JammerZice Could be, It was Paul's idea to perform at the rooftop of the Apple building instead of something more interesting like Stonehedge or the Coluseum in Rome, Italy.
The cops were no there to arrest the beatles it was just an excuse. i bet they really just want a front row seat.I bet they were like" ah fuck the law Yeah THE BEATLES ROCK" \m/
