"Get Back" "Don't Let Me Down"
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. The 42-minute show (about half of which comprises the sensational close to the Let It Be film) was a lunchtime blast into the cold wind - imagine a high London rooftop in January - that brought part of the capital to a standstill, until the police, in turn, brought the show to an enforced conclusion.
Much was commercially used from the 42 minutes on the roof, in the Let It Be film and on the Get Back (unissued) and Let It Be albums. What follows is a detailed description of the full rooftop repertoire, as preserved on EMI's eight-track tapes, with a guide to how it was made available.

In chronological order, Ringo's like the 6th Beatle. But yeah, if we're extending the family, we could make Brian Epstein the 8th, Yoko the 9th, and Alan Civil the 10th.
Haha, ya Zeyegin i took a class last year on the History of the Beatles at UCSD and my professor explained that John forgot the words to "Dont Let Me Down" while playing in their last concert atop Apple studios, but if i had to guess it would be written something like Ae-no-lay-rhee-zee-gawd-blee-b lew-ja-goo, i wish they would have left it in the final recordings lol. R.I.P. John

I'm not doubting your logic, cause your more than likely right, but I just thought this was kinda funny...
