Last Saturday was the anniversary of The Beatles' rooftop concert at Apple, 3 Saville Row, London. This was their last live performance; 42 minutes long. The setlist was Get Back, Don't Let Me Down, I've Got a Feeling, One After 909, and Dig a Pony. There's more stuff about the concert at this fansite. I actually saw the film of Let It Be back in 1970 or 1971 at the cinema (the Odeon, Middlesbrough) and it was at times quite depressing as you could see and feel the tensions within the group. Paul McCartney was getting on everyone's nerves and everyone resented Yoko hanging around. It's no wonder The Beatles have not wanted the film to be reissued. But despite all that, they still made some good music. Any road up, here I am outside the front door of what used to be Apple HQ, pointing upwards to the roof, several years later.
