This day 55 years ago, on 30 January 1969 THE BEATLES played at lunchtime on the rooftop of their Apple office building in London. Lasting for just over 40 minutes, it was the last time The Beatles performed live. The performed 5 tracks from their final LP LET IT BE: ‘Get Back’ (2 takes), ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’, ‘The One After 909’ and ‘Dig A Pony’.

Traffic was brought to a standstill as crowds of people gathered below and watched from windows in nearby buildings. John Lennon ended the performance by saying “I’d like to say ‘Thank you’ on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.”
