HuffPost
The 42-minute concert was intended to be the highlight of the Fab Four’s 1970s documentary film, “Let It Be.”
Jan. 30 marks a big day in Beatledom: The Fab Four played their last gig as a band 55 years ago.
And they did it on top of a roof.
On Jan. 30, 1969, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr performed their famous rooftop concert on top of the London headquarters of Apple Corps.
The 42-minute concert was intended to be the highlight of their 1970s documentary film, “Let It Be,” and its soundtrack album, but the complete performance wasn’t made available until Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary: “The Beatles: Get Back.”
The Beatles had considered other venues, such as the pyramids or the Queen Elizabeth 2, before deciding to perform on the rooftop of Apple’s Savile Row offices.
