I have an 8X10 photo of the Rooftop Concert w/ Billy in it; Billy Preston signed it for me when I met him at a Beatlefest. He was a "Beatle" for a few brief hours.....

What an event, The Rooftop performance!
Someday when the entire Session is commercially released and gloriously restored as we saw bits of in the recent Ron Howard film, that should be mandatory viewing for all Rock And Roll fans.
Those precious minutes when The Beatles put the bullshit aside and were a true Rock and Roll band again performing live and digging each other.
Maybe John, Paul, George and Ringo should have been required to watch it once a year between 1970 and 1980!

It's a great song and the Beatles look cool! It's my favorite period for each of them. Except maybe John. I like him better on another rooftop, wearing the New York City tee.

The Beatles and many of their historians have always painted this period as almost the lowest point of the Beatles as a working band. Perhaps Paul was overbearing, maybe John and Yoko were too irritating, it's possible George's mind was elsewhere and that Ringo seemed to approach the whole "Get Back" aka "Let it Be" project with a faint air of boredom? But the boys still had that magic when they played together even during their 'winter of discontent'. "This is a new phase BEATLES album" the album cover somehow deceptively stated....So sad that this was to be their last live appearance together and the album actually became the book end of the Beatles career as a working band. There was to be no re-union and the Beatles legacy has to stand encapsulated in the 1960s. There is 8 year old podcast cataloguing the whole 30 days of early 1969 Beatles. If anyone wants to re-live some of the moments of the 'Let it Be' sessions then it is still available here : Rock and Roll Science
