Take 3 of Get Back closed the concert. The boys are are trying their best to get arrested so they can have a great ending for their movie. It's sloppy but fun.
The complete rooftop concert consisted of Get Back-take 1, Get Back-take 2, Don't Let Me Down-take 1, I've Got a Feeling-take 1, One After 909, Dig a Pony, I've Got a Feeling-take 2, Don't Let Me Down-take 2 and Get Back-take 3. 😁
Yeah it's John's. In his Rolling Stone interview of 1970 he cited 'One After 909' as an example of a song he wrote separately from Paul even in the early days of the Beatles.
I love your desire to see this music carried through generation after generation. It's just special. And all you have to do is listen to it. For those of us that were there during that time with all that music just not the Beatles coming out we experienced it without knowing what it was going to be. Linda McCartney said that when she shot pictures of people at the forum that she had no idea they were going to be legends. So none of us knew at that time what we were experiencing. You know even myself who did experience it yes I had my CDs in my car when I was going through building my career and then my business. It was all in the background of my life. But since I retired it's been a pure joy to witness new generations discovering this time. And it's been appear joy watching you discover it. Thank you thank you for all your hard work. And your ear. You have a real good ear. Not everyone does. They can love the music but they don't have the ear to pick up everything that's going on. So bless you young man. I support you in Patreon because I appreciate the work that you're doing.
It’s really a crime that the rooftop video included almost no shots of Billy Preston. Probably because he wasn’t a Beatle, but he deserved more coverage. His keyboards were instrumental in creating the sound. Especially in get back and don’t let me down.
Love it. Their joy is infectious! Thanks for the pick, Clay. At the time we couldn't believe they could pull it off. But boy howdy did they ever. Love that you love the Beatles as we do, Lee. Rock on!
I would have loved to hear a full album in the 70s with Billy and the guys. Given what happened in '74, I could see them having done tracks with Stevie Wonder too if they had continued.
@@MrKeychange I remember that Stevie cried while announcing John’s death to his audience in 1980. He also cried years later while recalling the memory. 😢
You'll love "Get Back." I had it on a continuous loop for a month or three. Also, "A Hard Day's Night" will fill you with joy and wonder. I am looking forward to your reaction!
I like this song a lot. I'm a big fan of the whole Get Back project. Back in the day, we'd get bootleg albums. I loved everything from these sessions. Couldn't get enough. This is the version that ended up on the Let it Be album and Naked.
No buddy, Paul's Bass in this film was his Hofner. It didn't have as deep as a sound as his later Rickenbacker 4001S. The rick was also easier to keep in tune. Hofners are notorious with intonation issues, but I guess Paul got used to it. He plays the Hofner most of the time today, but he had his instruments overhauled by Hofner which solved a lot of tuning issues. Paul like the hofner because 1) it didn't look like a left hand bass, 2) it was a short neck bass and 3) it was light as it was a hollow body bass.
Along with everything else they did, including inventing so many aspects of modern music, it’s good to remember that The Beatles were the best live rock’n roll group to ever stride this planet 😎
It doesn't matter what some people say and assume about Ringo. Everyone who is really paying attention knows that he was a treasure and that he deserves a tonne of respect for all the performances he provided that were perfectly suited to the songs.
Crazy Lee, you took the words out of my mouth at the exact time! I loved seeing John happy, too! It really affected our lives when they broke up. We'd been on a Beatles high since 1964😢
The Beatles were incredibly lucky to have George Martin as their producer. None of them could read or write conventional music notation. They wrote the lyrics and the names of the chords on a piece of paper. Martin was classically trained and had an almost phenomenal ability to figure out what musical instrument played the sounds they could hear in their heads. He'd then write the part and hire someone to play it on the record. He combined his classical and technical experience with the Beatles‟ creativity and helped create music that defied conventions and awed listeners.
Most of that generation of rock musicians could not read or write music - none of the Stones, not Dylan, not the Who, not Jimi. Doesn't mean they didn't have expansive musical knowledge about keys, chord progressions, etc. But yes George Martin was important to translate their ideas for classically trained musicians and in the studio.
Thank you, Lee for doing your part in keeping The Beatles legacy alive. They still are among the top in album sales every year 54 years after their breakup. They make me happy and seeing young people like you falling in love with them makes my heart sing. Thanks again, my young friend.
It's so refreshing to see you appreciate this tune. I've read several articles trashing this song. I love it. Of course, it's not their best song ever but seeing them do it live with the pure, unbridled joy they're obviously having is such a pleasure to watch.
It’s far from the best Beatles song in my opinion but goddamn is it fun or what. I love seeing them rock out. The performance makes it. It’s easily my favorite version of the song!
You should do the second Get Back on the rooftop. It shows when the cops make Mal Evens turn off the amps, and George reaches to the back and turns them back on. When they are off, all you hear is Ringo's drums, and Paul and his bass. Then Paul improvised on the lyrics, having to do with the cops. Really is a must see. Also, Paul plays a Hofner bass. Paul kept that company going all these years because many people bought a Hofner because that's what Paul plays. He still plays the same Hofner in his concerts.
Every time I see footage of the rooftop concert, I am so envious of the people who were there to witness it... or even just to hear it from street level as it happened. It was truly a gift to us fans.
I have always loved this version. The rhythm section is great, in particular during the guitar solo. McCartney’s bass guitar is really driving the song along with the drums but then takes it up a notch during the solo. The whole band is an incredibly tight unit on this song. Play it again L33. Thanks for the reaction 👏
Really nice bluesy lead guitar by George on this one! I've played this song in various bands I have performed in over the years. That's Paul's Hofner bass that he is playing.
They did Get Back twice on the rooftop. In the second version the police went so far as to shut off the amplifiers for George and John but Paul and Ringo kept on going and then John and George just turned their amplifiers back on and kept going. You have not done that video yet.
Hello there wooo hooo. I am so happy to see this fab video w you. I sure love them and your reactions. Everything on the get back sessions is so much fun.
Michael Lindsay-Hogg didn't know how to film musicians properly. During George's guitar solos, he barely showed him, and then he didn't show George's hands. He seldom focused on Ringo or Billy Preston, either. I think the band would have said something about that if they'd realized it at the time.
One After 909 is TOP TIER Beatles. It is THE SOUND of the reigning champion beat combo of the Merseyside lunchtime music scene, just before the world stole them away and they became THE BEATLES.
Love a double play! I also like to see John happy. They are all moving to the energy, i think they liked to perform. I wonder if they would have lasted longer if they could have toured or if they were destined to outgrow and divide. The speed of their changes leads me to think it's the latter.
❤🎉❤Lee, love Beatles, in my teens they were the songs my friends and I played for falling in love, breaking up, crushes, broken heart tonic,and so on!! Crying or laughing, they were it!!!! 🎉❤🎉 PS no need for subtitles for me, I watch Coronation Street, lol!!! 🤣 Double play!! 🎉 No complaints anywhere I'm sure!!!
listen to the version(s) on Anthology where they had just a brief time between interviews and concerts to do it and they kept messing up. On Anthology there is a George Martin complilations of the two best attempts that lets you hear it as if they had actually finished any of their attempts.
Paul's plays a Hofner Bass, L33, there's a video of them playing "Get Back" on the roof top, I can't remember if you touched that one yet. (Old Man Brain)
You're so right about Ringo! Top Merseybeat drummer *before* becoming a Beatle... stylish, a pro. More than "merely" a perfect timekeeper yet very much that as well, like you say. And that's even before you add Paul ;)
Little Richard, Fats Domino, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Marty Robbins were the best (only) song writers of the 50's rock and roll genre. In the 60's it was the Beach Boys until The Beatles knocked everyone off the stage. Within a year of "Meet The Beatles", they were world wide, then they came to America and went on the Ed Sullivan Show. Beatlemania was a phenomenon. They redesigned the world and caused the fall of the Berlin Wall.
That rehearsal footage is from Let it Be? Also hours and hours of more. You get to see Paul and the others compose and record Let It Be - the album version 😊
Sad to see The Rooftop go... but at least it's not pavement awaiting me. If you have any other Beatles tracks for me, leave them here!

John & Paul wrote this in 1958 as members of The Quarrymen.
John said in the Get Back clip played first here “I wrote it when I was about fifteen”.
Yes, from all accounts it seems John wrote that when he was 15, And before he met Paul, Or at least around the time he did.
Yeah it's John's. In his Rolling Stone interview of 1970 he cited 'One After 909' as an example of a song he wrote separately from Paul even in the early days of the Beatles.
The Beatles is like your drug of choice, once you start you just can't stop it's so difficult.❤😂😮😅 Got to hear it all!

The "rooftop" concert is one of the best recordings ever in my opinion!
And you get to see the Beatles rockin'!
Man I can't get over how cool George looks in this one. Cool,menacing, evil eyed, dangerous...man he was one cool dude.
George was the most fashionable followed by Ringo IMO ❤❤❤❤
@@fineasfogg1461 totally agree with you, I always thought the same thing.
One of my favourite 'live' performances of The Beatles and George's on fire with that solo.
You are keeping them alive. I have been hearing more and more young people singing the Beatles.
Billy is so happy to be there and jamming with the boys.
The 5th Beatle. In the whole Let it be album he absolutely was
I would have loved to hear a full album in the 70s with Billy and the guys. Given what happened in '74, I could see them having done tracks with Stevie Wonder too if they had continued.
Billy was the true 5th beatle! 😎
@@MrKeychange I remember that Stevie cried while announcing John’s death to his audience in 1980. He also cried years later while recalling the memory. 😢
@MsAppassionata That clip is on the net. The gasp and silence from the crowd is chilling.
A classic train song. Rock and roll.
Thank you, Clay and Lee!
The boys having fun in the studio and on the roof is always delightful to see❤
You'll love "Get Back." I had it on a continuous loop for a month or three.
Also, "A Hard Day's Night" will fill you with joy and wonder. I am looking forward to your reaction!
Their Voices are magic!!!

Same here. The Get Back sessions are so much fun.
Man, George's licks on 909 were KILLER!!!!!
Of course I’m dancing out of my chair to 909 woooo whoooooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Gotta love chair dancing !!!

Yay!! I love this one. ❤ You rock Lee ❤
Mal was such a gift, he’s out there trying to appease the bobbies from arresting the music makers for disturbing the peace.
George solo, masterpiece ❤

It's kind of nuts how universal that feeling is. Seeing John happy makes me happy too
This song is how I remember my youngest nephew's bday, 9/10.

George is on fire on this.
One of my all time favorites 👍👍
Yippie! you play it again!
Gypsy living on the rooftop road😍
Headquarters has spoken! I love it.
Best rooftop concert ever.
Every time I see footage of the rooftop concert, I am so envious of the people who were there to witness it... or even just to hear it from street level as it happened. It was truly a gift to us fans.
I’m so jealous of those folks lol. They didn’t know the history they were witnessing… or maybe they did. Who knows.
Yes, and did the crabby ones feel differently later on?
That was George on the guitar solo. He's still playing after John starts singing again. it's cold as hell up there on the roof in January.
The Beatles and Genesis side by side. That's a sign of very good taste!
I just checked my iTunes playlist, and based on the number of plays, this is my 6th favorite Beatles song (adding up all versions). Nice reaction.
I have always loved this version. The rhythm section is great, in particular during the guitar solo. McCartney’s bass guitar is really driving the song along with the drums but then takes it up a notch during the solo. The whole band is an incredibly tight unit on this song. Play it again L33.

Really nice bluesy lead guitar by George on this one! I've played this song in various bands I have performed in over the years. That's Paul's Hofner bass that he is playing.
I really love this song. Not close to the Beatles best, but dang, catchy as hell
Enjoy the pure innocence before it's gone
Such a sweet child.
John really liked doing rock and roll.
And rock and roll really liked John.
And Ringo, and George, and Paul....
The Beatles and rock n roll are synonymous! 🫡👍

Hello there wooo hooo. I am so happy to see this fab video w you. I sure love them and your reactions. Everything on the get back sessions is so much fun.
Paul is playing his old Hofner(?) violin shaped "Beatles bass", so called because he made it famous, iconic. 😊❤
Michael Lindsay-Hogg didn't know how to film musicians properly. During George's guitar solos, he barely showed him, and then he didn't show George's hands. He seldom focused on Ringo or Billy Preston, either. I think the band would have said something about that if they'd realized it at the time.

Thanks for the double play, Lee! Great early feel Beatles!
Gotta love it when they rock n roll! ❤
The mic wouldn't keep us from enjoying the last rooftop video. Nobody has to be perfect to be perfect. ✌️
Maybe there should be an all train songs day. Your favorites? I'd go with R.E.M.s Driver 8
How about “5:15” by The Who? “Outta my brain on the train”. 😊
Take time off darlin. We will be here when you come back.
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
WOOT! Play It Again Sam!
This may very well be my favorite song from the rooftop session....!
Yes yes yes ! What a great song to hear again😊😊😊😊😊😊
One After 909 is TOP TIER Beatles. It is THE SOUND of the reigning champion beat combo of the Merseyside lunchtime music scene, just before the world stole them away and they became THE BEATLES.
You must be a scouser 😂
@@MsAppassionata you're a chicka ferdi!
G'day mate. I just found this of you on the cusp of long weekend. Thank you.
That's one tight band.
I am glad you listen to Headquarters! 😃
Ahh, my childhood!
Can’t beat this as your childhood LOL
Hi danica!! ❤
Enjoy the ride of the White Album - it's so great, a monument.
That was a fun video
John had a thing with the #9. All significant things in his life involved that number.
Always a fun song for me.
Love a double play! I also like to see John happy. They are all moving to the energy, i think they liked to perform. I wonder if they would have lasted longer if they could have toured or if they were destined to outgrow and divide. The speed of their changes leads me to think it's the latter.
The biggest band in the world playing on a roof.
I love that song.
Paul's base is a Hofner from the early 60s
My Idols!!!!
❤🎉❤Lee, love Beatles, in my teens they were the songs my friends and I played for falling in love, breaking up, crushes, broken heart tonic,and so on!! Crying or laughing, they were it!!!! 🎉❤🎉

I LOVE the mix on Let it Be Naked of One After 909. The bass & drums kick ass & the solo by George is under appreciated.
Have you done the magical mystery tour album yet? I know you've done songs off it, but did you do everything?
909's always been a favorite of mine. I love the steady rockin beat and the catchy hooks. Thanks!
Paul's plays a Hofner Bass, L33, there's a video of them playing "Get Back" on the roof top, I can't remember if you touched that one yet. (Old Man Brain)
YAY A DOUBLE PLAY!❤
Play it again Lee 😊 There are definitely no weak links in this group.
You're so right about Ringo! Top Merseybeat drummer *before* becoming a Beatle... stylish, a pro. More than "merely" a perfect timekeeper yet very much that as well, like you say. And that's even before you add Paul ;)
Ringo was definitely the best fit for the Beatles.
Theres a really good cover of georges guitar part on youtube that really showcases his incredible fills throughout this song. Just relentless
I LOVE it when you double down!! ❤😂

Yup the orders came from up the ladder. Play it again, lad 😂😂😎
Hofner bass .. It got stolen and only turned up in Japan a couple of years ago ,
GREAT!..you should listen to original from 1961(?)
You should have played the 1962 version as well off the Anthology 1.
