The Beatles - Don't Let Me Down Live Performance at Apple Corps Rooftop

Venue: Apple Corps Rooftop Location: London, CA, United Kingdom Date: January 30, 1969

On January 30, 1969, The Beatles performed "Don't Let Me Down" during their iconic rooftop concert atop Apple Corps in London. This live recording occurred during a pivotal moment in the band's career, as they were in the process of working on their album "Let It Be," which was released later that year. The rooftop performance marked the group's final public concert, highlighting the emotional and transitional phase they were experiencing amid internal strife and creative exploration. "Don't Let Me Down," written by John Lennon as a declaration of his affection for Yoko Ono, encapsulates the intensity of the band's dynamics at the time. Interestingly, this performance was unannounced, creating a spontaneous atmosphere that resonated with both the passersby and the viewers at home, solidifying it as a legendary moment in music history.
