    Billy Preston plays electric piano on this tune. Lennon dubbed him "The 5th Beatle" as Billy played with them on the Get Back sessions. Billy passed in 2006 of kidney failure. I love the Beatles, they covered many genres IMO and are, unquestionably, the greatest rock-n-roll band planet earth has and will ever see. All members were icons in thier own right.

    The Beatles were unique. They are their own genre. They transcended "pop music," creating something which will live for centuries, like what we now call classical music. Lennon and McCartney were/are 2 of the greatest composers of the 20th century. They started out playing 1950s-style rock & roll, but constantly grew under the tutelage of their brilliant producer, George Martin, who was sometimes called the "fifth Beatle." My first-and-forever favorite group.

    I saw a comment here that this performance was in 1970, actually this little unannounced concert on the rooftop of their Apple label offices was January 30, 1969. Must have been a little chilly up there in January. Listen to the studio version of this, it's great. Another really good live video that I've seen a number of reactions too is the performance of the song Help from Blackpool Night Out from 1965. This is in great color and really good audio for that time of a really legendary song. Lennon kills the vocals along with great harmonies by Paul and George, you'll love it, that I promise. So happy too see you two do the actual Beatles. Their recording career between 1963-70 is unparalleled. There have been some great bands over the years like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen amongst others, but nothing like these four boys. You know these bands as soon as you hear them, the sound never really changes. The Beatles sound was always evolving constantly changing. Listen to them in 64 and then 67, you wouldn't know it was the same band. These guys were truly one offs, there will never be another Beatles. The Beatles and Bob Dylan, the two all time, all time GOATS and it ain't even close ! Hope too see more Beatles in the future, they will never Let You Down, get it ? ✌️☮️💕

    The bass lines in this are a wild collection of artistic choices. They are so unexpected and unique. For non-musicians these songs just sound like really nice sounds tumbling favourably together. But I can't imagine how awesome they must be for people who know more than me. Because even with the composition and playing knowledge I have, listening to The Beatles is like a Master Class in performing, composition, arrangement and producing. Every phrase has you thinking, "Who would even think of doing that, like that?"

    Part of the brilliance of the Beatles is that they often begin their songs with the chorus, which makes the song very catchy. By the time they finish the first verse and hit the chorus, you've already heard it once and you are ready to sing along. "Get Back, "Eleanor Rigby", "We Can Work it Out", "I Feel Fine", "A Day in the Life". The list is endless

    Last time The Beatles would play together live, impromptu concert on the rooftop of Abbey Road studio, it's cool to watch the people around the area reacting to what is going on, the significance of the moment was fleeting at the time. Even the police are laying back and just watching, of course they eventually had to shut it down without realizing the historic importance of what they were witnessing and actually became a part of. Magnificent performance, albeit short, and John's famous last words after the performance in regards the The Beatles who would soon disband and never play together again: "On behalf of myself and the band I hope we passed the audition".

    In Jackson's "Get Back " documentary, it's fascinating to see how Billy Preston was involved with the Beatles. His licks on the Fender Rhodes added a layer to their songs during the sessions. He met them in Hamburg in 1962 while backing up Little Richard. He was 16! It was while he was backing Ray Charles in London that he hooked up with them again in 1969.

    I suggest the classic “ While my guitar gently weeps” from the White album. Eric Clapton plays guest lead guitar on that track.

    You two will LOVE all the feels in the movie, Get Back. It's 9 hours and worth every minute to watch them write and record two albums and shoot a documentary. All those songs were recorded live, no overdubs. This was their last "concert."

    One of their best! The Beatles are universal because they evolved and experimented so much. so many later rock genres can be traced back to them.

    That's brother Billy Preston on keyboards. He was considered the 5th Beatle.

    You guys keep coming back to the electric piano, both when BJ talks about "that synth or whatever" and when Asia at 5:45 talks about the riffs in the outro. That's BILLY PRESTON on the electric piano. If you don't know him, look him up, he had a long subsequent career within funk and gospel and was an absolutely amazing keyboardist, as you can hear. Billy's contributions to the songs on Let It Be are always spectacular, I love him.

    It was an impromptu concert. They were so cold they borrowed the coats from their wives. This will be included in the new documentary Get Back❤️❤️❤️

      NOT their wives coats, it was their own coats, which you will see in the GET BACK documentary....they are wearing them often when arriving ,etc. First of all, Yoko is a tiny woman and NO way would her coat fit on John, Men were wearing coats like that then. I don't know WHERE this myth started that John, George and Ringo are wearing their wives coats!

    They changed all music forever and their general message was positivity and love.

    The piano is a Fender Rhodes 88. One of the first electric pianos. The great jazz pianist Joe Sample was famous as the biggest name to use one.

    Billy Preston plays the keyboards in that song. They say if the Beatles had stayed together, Billy would have become the fifth Beatle. They loved him.

    I always really liked their song Norweigen Wood - also Let it be, Something, Blackbird, While my guitar gently weeps, eleanor rigby are a few good ones. I've watched several reaction videos to first time listeners to "let it be" and it seems to be a tear jerker. I've been knowing that song since I was a little girl so it doesn't have the same impact on me but its a beautiful song

    Billy Preston, met The Beatles in 1962, when he was in touring in Little Richard's band, in Europe. The Beatles were fan of 'Richard. When George H' encountered Billy again, in London in 1969, when The Beatles were recording under the idea "live, no overdubs", George knew that some songs would work with keyboard/paino, and being a 4 man band, a fifth person would work, George also thought, with the disputes among his band, if a guest would come in, whom they knew, that the others wouldn't moan&groan as much. George was correct, and Billy added a lot to the vibe and sound of the songs The Beatles worked on, then. Billy Preston was credited on the songs and album, with The Beatles for "Let it Be" and even a song on "Abbey Road" later in 1969. Preston received a steady record contract, on the Beatles label "Apple" for a few years -he had hit songs, he worked with a variety of other artists. After George H' died in 2001, a memorial concert was held to celebrate George, and Billy played with the superstar band. Billy P' died in 2006, of Kidney-realted health. He will be inducted into the Rock' Hall of Fame, like this week, for his musical talent.

    Congratulations! You guys reviewed my all-time favorite Beatles song, and that is saying ALOT! I have many favorites. Too many to pick, but if I had to pick one. BJ is right that that's an electric piano and that Soul Brother #1 Billy Preston himself on organ, and he gave the song some serious soul! I think the organ part really makes the song. EXCELLENT choice!! Loved it. Maybe my favorite of all your videos, just because I love this song so much. Thanks.

    This their last performance. It was a final farewell for the fans before they broke up. Before this they had not performed in public in year's but only worked in the studio recording new albums. They stopped performing in public because the fans screamed so much that, not only could the fans not hear the performance, but the Beatles could not hear themselves play. So they focused on creating innovative music in the studio. It is probably why they were able to be so creative and develop new sounds no one had ever heard before.

    The Beatles are like forming a super group in 1970 and sending them back in a Time Machine to 1960 so they can grow together organically over a decade-to become the greatest band EVER.

  • @blackprix

    Just say the Beatles as far as everything they did for multiple decades… The best group of all time who also wrote many of their own songs, excellent songwriter they just evolved as the decades went by until they decided to split up. They all had great solo acts as well, that just goes to show you how well they were as a group they went out on their own and did as well, I grew up during this time it was the best of time with music
