[karsaurlong]

[lob287]

I'm all for having a good time listening to rock and roll music but c'mon people. Get Back Is right.Get Back to you're offices there is much work to be done.

[thangsaga]

[hunterbeck00]

[FCastillo000]

soo funny how they turned off the amps & george just turned them back on. the beatles weren't going to stop the song short just because the fcking police told them to! love it. & paul teasing them with the lyrics is funny as hell.

[imwruben]

The best last concert ever. 42 YEARS AGO TODAY. BEATLES FOREVER.

[fuzzypige222]

looks like a decent audition...hope these guys keep it up, maybe they will have a good song or two......

[RIPTOTHEJOSH04]

THAT BASTARD TURNED OFF GEORGE'S AMP FUCKER!!

[manutd1891]

this version is during the sound check

[Drenwickification]

@manutd1891 Um, no it isn't. This is the second time they played "Get back", and was the last song they played. It's probably in response to the police coming up and telling them to stop playing, they're telling the police to "Get back", at least that's how I see it.

[MitchB930]

@manutd1891 This version is the very last song they played, you imbecile.

[Slycooper2456]

Hey what happened with amps and why couldnt no one fix it?

[manutd1891]

amp was down then george fixed it looks like

[Slycooper2456]

@manutd1891 did he just turn it on?

[Drenwickification]

@Slycooper2456 The AMP was turned off / turned down by the police because they came to stop them from playing because they were disrupting businesses. Madness.

You can see George putting it back on at 0:43

[alexflyers]

ringo starts late lol

[vxenon67]

Those police officers must be thinking after all those years. "Did we just tell the Beatle's to stop?"

[valonalien05]

paul is laughing at the start of the song

[mrjoepad1]

Someone asked what Ringo was wearing. Ringo is wearing his wife's raincoat. John is wearing Yoko's fur. They were all freezing up there. At the end, you hear a woman saying yea and clapping, and Paul reponds thanks Mo. It was Ringo's wife Maureen.

[TheWeirdy93]

George ftw 0:45!

[Mehefinheulog1]

classic piano beak from

the fifth Beatle

aka Mr Billy Preston

how cool was that

stil is

[EvanTheMudSlinger]

you have to love the douche beard <3

[MsLiooo]

John 3:15 " I'd like to say 'thank you' on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition! "

[makerzddd]

[noahmart]

Woot for the mistake at 3:36

[xxmmmtastey13xx]

@noahmart 3:36?

[noahmart]

@xxmmmtastey13xx

my bad braa 2:36

[Mylazyweekends]

I adore this song, and I adore the Beatles, their music, their style, their dress, their personalities... But seriously... Why is Ringo wearing?

[aleveg10]

fantastic

[MST3Kbot]

Ringo's last name is Starr. Not Star.

[lfcmm100]

actually is starkey

[TheWeirdy93]

@lfcmm100 actually the fifth beatle is stuart sutcliff not starkey if u mean that.

and i'd call preston the 6th beatle xD

[wings4ever]

@lfcmm100 THEY WILL BE VERY FAMOUS!

[BigJAG2004]

Actually it's Starkey. Starr is just a stage name.

And his real name is Richard.

[DerekKnox1]

haha, 2:65.. some guy appears out of nowhere..

and this is amazing

[60s70sRock]

woah I never knew Billy Preston played at the Rooftop concert. Thats awesome! But now that I think about it..duh someone had to play the keyboard parts. lol

[madebutante]

I saw Billy when he toured w/ the stones in '76. I was wearing my 6inch platforms and in the front got eyed by jagger for a full minute dude..haha that 17 year old fantasy was quite alive for oh 10 years! lolol

[benimalover]

haha congratulations for that one moment!:P

[476892]

Preston did many sessions with the Beatles. In fact, he did so many recording with the Beatles that he was considered the "5th Beatle"!!!! Preston is also on the Beatl

[60s70sRock]

I knew Preston did quite a few sessions with the beatles but I never stopped to think that he played with them at the Rooftop sessions

[SDPBMX]

Billy Preston is the man. The electric piano is essential here.

[SaveFerrisBuller]

to routze, are you serious?! The Beatles! Everyone knows The Beatles. Sgt. Pepper, Yellow Submarine, Let It Be. They are still one of the best bands in history! phew!

[OropherThranduil]

NO!!!

They ARE the best band there will ever be!!!

[jackmackeral1]

@OropherThranduil right u are

[charliestuvwxy]

John Lennon developed into a really good guitar player as seen on this clip. Some very tasteful work. John looks cool too. He's the one that I would call the salt of The Beatles.

[bwill33]

I cant believe they did all those albums and never played live until this? Makes u wonder...

[danthemankhan]

.... this was their LAST, not their FIRST, concert. They did hundreds and probably thousands of concerts before this.

[davidrevisited]

right, but they didn't tour from 1967-70, yet came out with quite a few records. reason being.. none of them wanted to. plus the stuff they were recording wasn't meant to be played on the road... ie. sergeant pepper, magical mystery tour

[mstern18]

I wish we could get less footage of the cops and more of Billy Preston..

[martinevans123]

"Thursday - 30 January 1969

Apple Corps (Roof), London

The Beatles' celebrated rooftop show. An idea conceived during a meeting on 26 January, it was the first of two consecutive Beatles/Billy Preston performances which concluded the Get Back project, for on 31 January they ran through numbers inside the basement studio.

This day's work has passed into history as the Beatles' last live performance, even if it couldn't be classified as a concert."

[Orlilover621]

Wait, you're not seriously asking that question... They're The Beatles... Only Legends In the Music World.... Hello. Anyway yeah they are totally awesome.. Were... Whatever.

[ruotze]

[jackdimidio]

@deltasquadftw Seriously?

[meltglass1]

[bannazadeh]

[Ladybird5352]

Thats what you call a live video! It does not get better than that. No rehearsals, No Bullshit, and what a ripper of a song yeah Get Back!

[beatlebabys]

Wish I would have been there!!!!

[Sungro]

really love this video thanks for putting it on.

[greygland]

george had his amp on standby...opps

[martinevans123]

Great to see this again, espec on here. One of the first ever live songs I remember seeing and that was a moment of sheer revelation. This had (and still has) two main attractions - McCartney in a beard (never cooler) and Billy Preston (never more hip).

[wothef]

Thanks J5, cool stuff, saw this as a teenager, great stuff, ta lots for posting.

[beatlesforever65]

Yes, ta so much!! ^^

[nmowry]

Whoever posted this, thank you!

[Gwhitebeard]

"And I hope we passed the Audition" - I've heard it for years, now I've seen it. Thanx for the post... Pretty good little rock n' roll band huh, even without a sax..

[rockventures]

Great. Thanks.

Never noticed the amplfier/pedal problems encountered by John Lennon before.

[Ladybird5352]

[watcherfilmsinc]
