The Beatles Perform 'Don't Let Me Down' - Rooftop Concert Take 1

Venue: Savile Row Rooftop Location: London, United Kingdom Date: January 30, 1969

On January 30, 1969, The Beatles performed their iconic Rooftop Concert atop the Apple Corps building in London, marking a significant moment in their career as it was their last public performance. This live recording features "Don't Let Me Down," a song primarily written by John Lennon, who dedicated it to Yoko Ono. Prior to this performance, The Beatles had released the album "The Beatles," also known as the "White Album," in November 1968, which showcased their eclectic musical experimentation. The Rooftop Concert served not only as a farewell to live performances but also as part of the recording sessions for their final studio album, "Let It Be." Interestingly, the impromptu nature of this concert drew a crowd that included passersby, reflecting the band's monumental impact on popular music and culture at that time.
