The Beatles

The live recording of "One After 909" takes place during The Beatles' rooftop concert on January 30, 1969, which is notable as their final public performance. By this point in their career, The Beatles had recently released the album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967, and their subsequent work included the self-titled "The Beatles" (often referred to as the "White Album") in late 1968. The rooftop concert was part of the filming for their movie "Let It Be," which documented the band during a turbulent time, showcasing their creative tensions and collaborative spirit. An interesting aspect of this live performance is the inclusion of keyboardist Billy Preston, who added a new dynamic to their sound. The concert symbolized not just a significant moment in music history, but also reflected the end of an era for The Beatles as they were nearing the dissolution of the band.
