  • Oh to have been one of those Bobbies!

  • Yes u passed the audition

  • 22 minutes of glory

  • thumbs up for John Lennon's converse shoes!!

  • of course, they hoped that the police were going to drag them off the set and into the Big Black Mariah, but it didn't happen .....

  • hey coppers ,your getting a free beatles concert ,enjoy

  • u can allways count on the police to fuck up a party

  • 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.

  • @hamrite

    i dont think the police would do that at all

  • 4:45 jaujauja Lol George ni ahi con scotland yard enchufo igual su guitarra IDOLO!!!!

  • georges guitar parts are great...

  • 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.

  • Beautiful time for music, the best band in the world, THE BEATLES

  • ( sorry if i spam too mutch bad habbit) Thumbs up if this song makes you happy

  • Da 18 dislikes are from Bullshit and Diahrreah.

  • at the beginning of the vid.... how mutch whould it cost to have the cigarret butt from the cigarette ringo was smoking?

  • Did any one there knew that they were witnessing the closing chapter of a great Era in the music history.

  • does anybody know who the heel that was that was arested and/ or why

    

  • that lucky crowd in the back and down there, just witnessed a tragedy, yet one of the biggest moments in music.......

  • nobody wore a beard like that better than mccartney. (:

  • 3:36.. haha John Lennon give half step forward.. before that all.. at the intro riff

    "nothing is perfect"

  • @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.

  • the beatles are god

    

  • McCartney's beard! awesome!!!

    

  • McCartney's beard! awesome!!!

  • Billy Preston is playing with them on the rooftop, but I don't see any footage of him. They must have hid him over by the camera.

  • McCartney's voice is incredibly good in that cold, The Beatles will last forever!

  • McCartney not wearing a coat or sweater like the others while playing is amazing.

  • Just epic :)) And I love it when Billy Preston starts jamming out at 5:17 !!!

  • George's thoughts at 4:44 "Fuck that shit", turns his speaker back on. Awesome.

  • 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

  • They hadn't really practiced for the show, So the guy is holding up Cue cards for John so he can sing the lyrics.

  • It's his words, Eksis. John messed up earlier. What a band of brothers. The best.

  • why is that guy helding a paper in front of john

  • every one enjoy their music unless your not normal person.. I love beatles no matter what they say!!!!!!!!

  • There's no one compere with them, thx BEATLES!!!

  • How many songs did they get away with before Plod spoiled it lol?

  • Love you John.

  • Lenon can rock converse no mater what he is wearing

  • god they were so good.

  • Why can't the British p'licemen where straps the go BELOW the chin. They look stupid wearing their hats like that.

  • @spykid8908 You guys are descended from us.

  • Ied like to say " thank you " on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition !! John Lennon. LOL....

  • @mrstevehartman

    funny guy, john ! 

  • @algeriamacgyver Covered up his pain....

  • 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!

  • oh my god @ man holding lyrics for john while kneeling.

  • 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!

  • I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED -WHO'S THE IDIOT WHO CALLED THE POLICE TO STOP THE MOST IMPORTANT ROCK CONCERT OF ALL TIME?

  • @kink66 - The up and coming yuppie in the neighborhood :3

  • @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 !!

  • If this HQ im the queen of england

  • my name does not mean all i care about is lego frik legos hello to the beatles

  • 17 people don't dig a pony

  • @teazkid2002 He had accually just finished writing a song a day or two before this so he needed the guy to hold it

  • 5:20 Holy Shit!

  • Soooooo coooool!!!!! Man, nothing phases them. LOVE it.

  • why did they play 'get back' twice? funny thing to do when they're pressed for time

  • @rindoni maybe its a message for the police

  • @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..

  • is it just me or does steve jobs try to be john lennon too much

  • 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.

  • @q12tube it's called a ''pedal'', wich is used to change or modifie how the guitar sounds

  • @36275889 thanks

  • @q12tube no, thanks to you for listening the beatles music, it's the only way to keep the true rock spirit alive!

  • and everyone left alive would be fingerprinted, arrested, and have an intimate pat down.

  • Got to hand it to the English bobbies though, if this was in the good ol USA, especially now, there would have been 5 people tazered and 4 shot.

  • @q12tube agreed

  • damn tommy's

  • 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.

  • I love when they keep playing after the song is over at 3:35! I always rewind the video to see that part!

  • 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.

  • Amo cuando Don Juan lennon se equivoca y saca la lengua

  • 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • My favorite part is when they keep playing after the song is over. I love that part!

  • 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!

  • Damn the beatles are bad ass.. they are awesome!!

  • At 3:00 One of the cops is Jamie Cook haha

  • Okay, You wanna listen to the real music listen to hedley or Nickelback! the are the modern day beatles.

    Though i must say stairway to heaven is probably the best beatles song!

  • @ttamsiemanym033 are u serious or being sarcastic?

  • what are the policemen sayiiingnngg!!

  • george was my favorite beatles ive got a signed photo of him and clapton doing bangladesh concert no money can touch it.

  • 2:20 = Get back!

  • but the cops would soon shut them down,pity!

  • thanks mal

  • @johnnylenn

    Thanks Mo Johnny, in reference to Maureen Starkey who cheered.

  • and they did pass the audition, later to form the band nickelback. Haha jk nickel back sucks billy mayses dead weener. Btw, this footage is ausome

  • You gotta know how tough it was to play guitar and bass in January on a cold roof in England!

  • @fatnynja im surprised they didnt go out of tune!

  • @fatnynja And what about the drums?! It was no easier!

  • God this is great, I remember watching this is the theater years ago. Man I miss them and always will.

  • 4:42, george notices his amp is off or turned down, his friend John turns around and quits playing, George fixed the problem, crank it up baby.

  • Sounded 2 me like "Thanks Mom."

  • made me moist..

  • @sybaris1 HMMMM, tell us more.

  • Lennon was a great guitar player, but George was The Man!

  • @jmserrato Paul wasn't a half bad bass player

  • What the hell does paul say at 7:12?

  • @Winyamo "Thanks Mo" (Maureen, Ringo's wife, the girl who shouts at the end of the song)

  • @Winyamo I'm not sure, but it sounds to me like...."Gunsmoke."

  • who is the guy with glasses?

  • @AressiYashiroB Really? I hope your not serious. Its John Lennon.

  • @kissbeatsall The one in the background with the police

  • Hold up...who the fuck gave this a thumbs down?

  • Love George´s Outfit !!!!

  • 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! "

  • @mowdowndafaces4 its not gonna have your neck...its "shes gonna have you arrested"

  • @NiggerPat88

    Ah it was, sorry, when I listened to this I was using an old headset from playing TF2.

    Thanks for the correction mate!

  • if 17 didnt like it why are they watching The Beatles???? let me know yo haha

  • i woder what george was saying to the guy after he tuned off amp

  • DAAAAAMN paul, john, and ringo look hooooot in this video.....

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, amazing; historical footage; we'll never see their likes again.

  • Wow, amazing; historical footage.

  • The person who complained to the police should be tracked down and forced to explain their actions. This is history!

  • @hallmitchell It was part of the script. This was a scripted and directed movie. The bobbies are actors.

  • How did the cops dare interrupt history in that way?

  • i want john lennons side burns >_<

  • " HOPE WE PASSED THE AUDITION"

  • Those are pretty cool chin straps the police are rockin'

  • When Jesus comes back you can be sure there will be a cop there to arrest him for disturbing the peace.

  • the police have to act as if they don't approve but they probably love it :P

  • @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

  • I loves George's Converses

  • @GranTruismo4head sooo like everything basically? haha. (:

  • fuck you fuck you fuck you police officers !!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rock beatles you rock george !

  • I never really thought Paul was that attractive, but with his beard and suit...he looks damn good!

  • This is the Let it Be album version right? Ringo's "hold it"! Except one edit..

  • Lo que hubiera yo dado por haber estado ahí. Que privilegiados los que pudieron ver y escuchar el último concierto en vivo de estos genios.

  • hahah Ringo in the beginning.. HOLD IT!

  • i love this concert.. its as epic as it gets

  • who's the keyboard guy?

  • @eldictator1

    billy preston

  • 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).

    George wasn't having his amp turned off lol.

  • "I wanna say thank on behalf of the group and ourselves I hope we pass the audition" They were genius!

  • how are the police not bobbing there heads to the music. must be deaf.

  • 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

  • @inFamousAnto Those 17 people that disliked it were the cops that stopped the concert. :)

  • just drop an acid ..cool

  • 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

  • the key board player is bad ass lol

  • i love this concert.. theyre so individual and in sync with each other..a real beatles memory

  • 17 people are fukin weird.. who doesnt like the beatles? who hates on a great concert ?

  • @inredibleMrH John, Ringo, and George didn't want to do this anyways.

  • @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/

  • 7:13 advice

    heh

  • Police man = Justin Bieber fan

  • hello im a policeman and it is in my job description that i am not aloud to smile...that music makes me want to smile...you have to stop playing that music or i will arest you!

  • 4:45 george says "nah fuck that!"

  • 17 viewers of this video were descendents of the cops...

  • malditos policias

  • i speak on behalf of Francis from L4D and everybody else who agrees, ''i hate the police'' >:[

  • they looked at the cops, started playing again, lol.

  • 4:22ジョンのスッタコなフレーズが大好き!

  • Dream,

    perhaps

    

  • the real and indestructibles fantastic 4

  • Was this version of Dig a Pony on the album?

  • I LOVE how at the beginning, Ringo says "Hold it!", and all you hear is the first note. Somehow, that just made the song even better. Thanks, Ringo.

    When they start playing, they're all tapping their feet. I love that, too!!

  • Why'd they stop? What are the British police going to do? Shoot them with there night sticks? Write them a strongly worded letter?

  • I like the way they saw the police and then started the next song. LOL!
