The Beatles Rooftop Concert Part 3

[chilibro]

Is that a fender frontman they're using?

[fiofunk]

i'd like to know what's growing in that greenhouse.....aside from love~

[RAYNEALAVERY]

Just watched the Red Hot Chili Peppers rooftop video of The Adventures of Raindance Maggie. It triggered a memory and brought me here. The RHCPs are good, but they are not THE BEATLES. I love George's work with The Travelling Wilburys. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

[RAYNEALAVERY]

And the rest, as they say, is history.

[ThisIsScatter]

if I had authority I would probably try and get front rows too.

[higgsy43]

3 dislikes??? - they must be from some other planet

[srespuela]

luckiest cops ever!

[Mika301910]

And this i'ts the and of the best group ever! the beatles forever <3

[falicitymb]

holy crap. best song ever written!

[SVPB]

playin' on the roof together...and that's so good, 'cause you know your mommy doesn't like that....Love is all you need...

[MagnaDuelist14]

[JoshhLyons]

@MagnaDuelist14 Anthology

[noeldude1]

Historic !' 

[32elmer]

Lol telling the policemen to leave xD

[CueBaLLonE1]

I'd hate to be the cops that ended this historic event... and sorrowfully, the Beatles as well : (

[mdfortnum]

Someone forgot to tell the police that they are the muther fucking beatles and they do what they want.

[Lenmac4]

They acually played for 45 minutes. They did "Get Back" three times, "Don't Let Me Down", and I've Got a Feeling" twice, and the others just once. The movie cut was the best of the bunch.

[johnnyw12]

Billy Preston added some teriffic keyboards to their music!!! RIP Billy, John, George & MaL !!!!

[TINOFRAN]

Billy Preston, in the groove and in the moment.... SWEET!

[chotindude]

damn that black guy is one lucky son of a bitch

[madders90]

6:26 - 6:35 clearly talking about the police lol

[sakuranor]

and Paul keep on singing!

[paulover9000]

the police would prefer to listen to "the police".

[Ahzdiosh]

How could there be a pong on the roof?

[bruno1971able]

yes man!

[kratosss19999]

get back..change for...GTFO POLICE, GTFO PILICE, GOTFO TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONG JJAJAAJA

[ianzqv]

Stop looking at the comments and go watch the concert, DAMN!

[ACORBIERE]

god bless the beatles the best band to ever walk this earth

[mookuable]

the ginger dealing with the cops cracks me up

[ItsGettingBetter1]

@mookuable thats big mal evens, their roadie

[MeetlesVideos]

Occupy Rooftop!

[BATOOTY100]

MISS YOU SO MUCH LENNON

[aleeksquarepants]

@BATOOTY100 And Harrison too :(

[Marielena5058]

The Farewell Concert?

[daddo39]

What kind of idiot would shut down a Beatles concert. And whats with those stupid chin straps?

[bearfan83]

6:24 to 6:36 is one of my favorite Beatles moments. Hilarious ad libbing by Paul.

[Isis2410]

Beatles Get Back.

[polarguy101]

We will never see anything like them come along ever again, R,I,P. John & George. 

[deyran]

Get Back Again???

[deyran]

@deyran Of course for  the policeman

[Lenmac4]

@deyran They actually did Get Back three times, Don't let me down and I've got a feeling twice, and the others once. The movie is just the best of the bunch.

[kymon117]

so... I'm related to The Beatles' US manager...

Loosely.

[brianababe100]

Mo?

[stingray4real]

This rooftop concert influenced U2 to film the video Street Have No Name in LA and ironically the police broke up the concert,

[Madcap1690]

Any who doubt Paul McCartney's badassery need only watch the part when he changes the lyrics of Get Back purely to mock the police.

[santanaramostarango]

@Madcap1690 which part of the lyrics did he change???

[VolkOseba]

That one last chord and...  it's all over. Dang...

[tavovargas4]

You just watch the last The Beatles Concert

[ponyyak68]

McCartney @ 6;56 Thanks Mo

[jp97rock]

@ponyyak68 Harrison, "thanks Mo"

[buffalobraves9]

@jp97rock Actually it was Paul who said that.

[kymon117]

@buffalobraves9 Tbh I thought Paul was George with that beard, dunno why though. (I'm not the one that you were replying to though)

[buffalobraves9]

@kymon117 Yes Paul was thanking Maureen Starkey as she was applauding louder than any of the rest.

[NotepadBoy09]

4:34 TURN ON THAT DAMN THING YOU BIATCHH!!

[ZedekZadik]

No wonder there has never been a band like the Beatles... tight, great drums, bass, guitars, vocals... the best. I still weep for John's murder.

[Anainthesky1]

The Police fucked everything...

[leesyloo131]

There never was, is or will be any band or singer better than The Beatles. RIP George and John xxx

[Anainthesky1]

@leesyloo131 I Agree, The Beatles is the most brilliant band in history

[TTTTTTTTomas]

:-I ... better to change yourselves than create unchangable unfunctionality ... but here comes the Sun and it´s allright ... (always on the east) ... :-I

[kyteddy1]

Fantastic performance by the Beatles and the best singing group that i have ever seen or heard!Only the Beatles could have come up with this idea of a rooftop concert....I KNOW their philosophy,"Hey lads,Let's get as high as we can and rock this city"!Where better than the roof of Apple studios!I just wish I could have been there to see it,I DO have their last picture taken as a group b4 their split,A 3" by 6" poster taken in August 1970 and was the last pic of the Beatles together,Thx 4 posting

[phriendlybear]

I love it! Paul was playing Cissy Strut as the police came up!

[secretbreak]

Brings me to tears seeing John & George RIP and Paul & Ringo in their Prime... The iconic vid of last century!

[wildmick]

Billy Preston the keyboard player is really amazing, As a comment to him They called him the Fifth Beatle...R.I.P. Billy

[agoose7]

@wildmick No they called Ringo the fifth Beatle it was a joke that someone else was more of a beatle then him

[salihe66]

Somehow I doubt those rooftop cops knew how lucky they were.

Shame.

[Romavenn]

That's right john you tell them cops to get back!

[Hotelmotelkfc]

The Last Beatles Concert

[adriana72324]

every time i see this video i want to cry and laugh, because is tragic, is the end, but for the other side see how Paul singing like nothing is going on, and makes a joke with the lyric... is great, love you Paul

[bobob4477]

I swear.. If there isn't a 50th anniversarry concert that doesn't get broken up by the cops, im going to bust some heads..

[sejd213]

Its amazing, how the Beatles knew they`re time as a band had ended, and how they would each evolve afterwards. The passion as they end they`re last song.

[AAAModsProductions]

@sejd213 You know they recorded abbey road after let it be, correct? Let it be was just released later then abbey road.

[83shovel]

@sejd213 what gets me about these 3 videos, is that even though they were separating, the really seemed to enjoy playing together.

[justawaiterminute]

@83shovel I know I can only think that at this point, they were ONLY enjoying the several minutes of each song playing together !!

[Django5198]

I love that guy who comes flying outta nowhere on the right at 6:42!

[rubbersole79]

Paul at 6:26

"You been out too long Loretta, you been playin' on the roofs again,

and that's no good, 'cause you know your mommy doesn't like that,

she's angry, she's gonna have you arrested!"

John at 3:32

"This is fooking great! We're sticking too the fooking man!"

[NoirFan01]

Yoko Ono called the police on The Beatles. She couldn't tolerate them having a good time as a band.

[corycaby]

I bet those cops were hating their job that day...

[coliter]

Fuckin' well done, George! Love him!

[stanleyknife72]

George that rebel

[7BJDX]

the cops just wanted to meet the beatles

[RubbeRevolver7740]

I love how George is like "Fuck tha Police" and turns his amp back on lol

[lart1990]

@RubbeRevolver7740 ha i was just about to make the same comment. some man

[LtDrg35]

look at ringo 6:57

[DrakrSlyr]

It was the police that broke up The Beatles

[GamingCityxMrGamer]

すべての雹ビートルズ

[wdchefdave56]

That little bitch unplugged GEORGE HARRISON'S amp? Those boys played in Hamburg... get back MF!

[fef1987]

nobody can unplug The beatles!!!

[Ismyouroboroslove]

what was george wearing? that thing is dope. what is it called, anyone?

[WalrusMuffins10797]

Ringo dropped his drum sticks. I FINALLY KNOW WHY DIG A PONY STARTS AND MESSES UP AND STARTS OVER AGAIN HAHA

[swishart95]

i like the fact paul and john just stared at the police men and started laughing and yet the still kept playing glad they did this :)

[jimmyyazz]

you gonna try to stop the muthafucking Beatles? silly bobbies

[rocknroll19842]

@jimmyyazz for real. i would have been fired if i was on of those bobbies... i might have had to tell my boss to fuck off if he told me to go stop the beatles. love your user name btw(one of my favorite clash songs)

[jimmyyazz]

@rocknroll19842 nice u like beatles n the clash, great minds think alike haha

[rocknroll19842]

@jimmyyazz haha yes they do. I'm actually wearing my london calling shirt as i type this out. haha

[peacedreamer88]

i hope we passed the audition.

hahahahahahha........I dont get it

[ferrisjazzguitar]

Two of the police disliked this video

[EirikGH]

It's kinda funny that they sing "Get back" to the police !

[omero2582]

THOSE SONS OF .....tches police ....cking men. hope you 're happy now

[Ruth152TZ]

To rite mate,very sadly indeed. :(((((

[CaptainGrimes1]

I wonder where those policemen are now...

[davethefed]

Woody Allen lets the cops in, of course...here in the US, we would ask to see a warrant first. Of course then they would deploy the swat team, killing everyone, so perhaps it was a good idea to open the door...

[The1994Ninten]

@davethefed

That 'Woody Allen' is Mal Evans, and he did a LOT for The Beatles, so be nice. :p

[ScandinavianDawn]

they seemed to be really enjoying playing together that day. 2 bad George didn t get any songs. Maybe he wouldve if the cops wouldve let em play more

[0481870]

What, No Permit?

[0481870]

Why do they always break away from the band during the lead guitar parts? were they added later?

[Planetcaravan56]

@0481870 good question !



[oreokookie1000]

Those cops are epically ridiculous...they look like black erect penises in those weird - ass hats!.....ahahahaha

[wisetrucker]

As a group they were so far ahead of their time, they were dragging everyone else behind them to try and catch up, yet they still came in 6th.

[SaintJorge304]

6:13 As Faul sings "get back", you can see the cops going back through the door! lol

[MsAstekas]

@SaintJorge304 that's why he was out of laughing when he sung again get back!

[SaintJorge304]

5:08 Faul is going HAM on the bass!

[KittyinVA]

That was fantastic. Thanks so much for posting this. I got so many laughs, and such a reminder of what it felt like back then. We all wanted to be rebels, and fight for justice. If I were younger I'd be occupying Wall Street.

[jigglar]

One of the cops gets upset when yet another song starts up (Get Back). :o)

[Enzaym]

0:00-0:04 its Goward from big bang :D

[MrFONewvegas]

6:26 to 6:35

youve been out to long loretta youve been playin on the roofs again and thats no good you no your mommy doesnt like that she gets angry.

SHE'LL HAVE YA ARESTED

[JRGrange25]

If I had been the beatles here, I would have done She Loves You for a laugh.

[JRGrange25]

The Beatles, not only pioneers of a lot of musical technique, lyrics, song structure etc. But even pioneers of playing live on a rooftop to a busy London Lunchtime lol, Beatles never cease to amaze me.

[SnazzyGoodTimes]

@jjhtr he was playing through a twin reverb

[tripleJ1955]

Not bad for a lunchtime jam session.

[mscynergie]

On behalf of quality music, there will never be another group quite like this ever again. I like The Stones too but these guys had something unique.

[TheKonradKuba]

Quintessence of rock & roll.

No better comments.

[LaChemiseDeRentonII]

I would like to say that the best Beatle is Ringo Starr. Thanx

[jjhtr]

anyone know what George was playing through? Was that a reverb deluxe?

[mallard4998]

the cops couldn't even take a light hearted attitude towards it...bloody facists

[Brainstorm4ever]

At least the cops let them finish the song.

[NonFerrousBueller]

@Brainstorm4ever How'd you like to go down in history as "The Policeman Who Bloody Ruined Everything!"

[lostrom]

FUCK THE COPS!

[Marshallsg]

George is like, "Oh no, fuck this" -turns the amp back on.- "We're not done yet!"

[puroponche]

@Marshallsg that's absolutely funny, my friend.

[Procrastina777]

No worries, John - you guys did pass the audition. Sadly, no one else has, and it's been 40 years...

[therjmg]

@Procrastina777 Queen.

[The1994Ninten]

@Procrastina777

There have been some great bands, like Queen!

[SpainColombiano]

@Procrastina777 I wish I could like your comment one trillion times. sigh

[MachoCamacho6541]

@Procrastina777 wait ........ what audition ?

[thedarkesthole]

@MachoCamacho6541 didnt you hear what john said at the end you silly

[thedarkesthole]

@Procrastina777 you just wait. the good shits coming back this decade. mark my words. its just taking a while

[NorthsideBill]

Was this the last time they ever performed as a group? It seems I heard that somewhere...

[bobthebanshee]

@NorthsideBill Yes it is, they hadn't performed in years before this and it was to be thier last.

[Marshallsg]

@NorthsideBill That is correct.

[Fruscianteistheman]

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLL I WANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IS YOU 

[kmolfloyd]

The beatles were genials..................

[JhOn021]

Yoko looks like a ghost.

[Tallsmilingtree]

Here's a lesson for us all: it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission! And look at Billy Preston back there making history on the keyboards. Back in the day the DJ Murray the K called himself the "5th Beatle". No! It was Billy Preston who had that distinction. I had forgotten just how great and revolutionary these guys were. Thanks for putting this out there for all to see.

[TheVagolfer]

@Tallsmilingtree

Billy Preston, Murray the " K ", and George Martin have all been given the title of the 5th Beatle.

[Tallsmilingtree]

This is a lesson for us all: it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

[RATTLEY67]

For all their inner turmoil it did look like they enjoyed themselves.And yes John you did pass the audition.

[karagerrard]

Mal turned off the guitar amps during Get Back, because of the order by The Police. But George turned on his and said to John :))

[rownaeh]

if i had known better, the cops were just pretending to control the crowd and the rock n roll but they were really die hard fans of the Beatles and couldn't wait to be on that rooftop. :)

[MrFONewvegas]

camera fart at 3:57

[kingharryannis]

To all the rock bands out there do a free concert in new york to support the occupation of Wall street from the roof tops above Wall street.

[kevincfc0725]

@kingharryannis I saw the news. Good luck in wall street. Greeting from Taiwan.

[cindercronkit]

Love that rough Tele tone!

[heyitsheath]

haha aw the ending, brief eh? makes me sad.

[mags981]

A great moment!! Thank you for posting this!!

[MrJaredlboyd]

At 4:10 I wonder what happened to John's guitar. It couldn't have been his playing, had to be his guitar got knocked out of tune or something

[matchbox555]

@MrJaredlboyd mal turned down the sound box

[BEATLES4EVER57]

This rooftop is now the BBC station no ??

[YolondaHayes]

This was a time, where you would really fucking hate cops.

[LoZfan95]

@YolondaHayes At least the police simply asked them to stop playing. My local police station probably would've decided to cut the power instead.

[albercask8]

The police didnt told them to stop, just to low the volume :P At least thats what mccartney said on an interview

[AeroxLight]

LOL

I loved the false intro at 0:06

"a-one two three (Ow YEAH!)..[Lennon, Harrison and Mc Cartney faces are like... What u doing man? ok, again]. a-one two three"

[ocastillosa]

"Get back jojo.. yeah" 4:34

[thefranticle]

why they play get back again?

[pianoaddict772]

@thefranticle they were prolly telling the police to get the fuck back.
