The Beatles rooftop concert in full: January 30, 1969

I can't believe I've never seen this entire thing. And like the recently posted Charlie Is My Darling, I'd watch this now as I'd be surprised if its up for very long. Although this has been on YouTube since January, so maybe it'll be available for a while...

Famously recorded on the roof of Apple in London on January 30, 1969, it was to be their last performance as a band in public. The footage was included in the Let It Be documentary released in 1970. Songs included:

Get Back - 01:03
Don't let Me Down - 04:18
I've Got a Feeling - 07:53
One After 909 - 11:35
Dig a Pony - 14:38
Get Back 18:30

Yes, I know the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death was yesterday...I didn't post anything about it, saw this picture this morning, and wanted to run it. What I do remember is 30 years ago this morning being woken up by my mother with the news of his murder. Unlike Alex, I don't remember much more than that, other than being somewhat initially shocked with the news. I wasn't sure what to do (did I need to do anything?), and I had to go to school. As I read somewhere else, music would have been a whole lot different without him. That's the thought for the day about this.
