1969 some fun history
 

Didn't want this to get lost in the music video thread, because it's more than that. One day on the rooftop of Apple Studios, the Beatles gave an impromptu concert. It was their last concert...a farewell, if you will.

This 22 minutes video records it. I found the street shots interesting. The young women in mini skirts, (Now able to show this to grandkids?), the traffic jam, the cops arriving to stop the show. Just fun!

So, watch or flame, whichever you prefer...

It was a great set...

It was a great set indeed. Most folks think that this was a first, that The Beatles dreamt this up. That is not the case - The Jefferson Airplane beat them to it by about a year.

New York, 1968:

...and a few years later the Stones brought out a flat-bed truck to introduce Ron Woods to the fold!

I have seen this video before - these guys were great!

I miss mini skirts and high boots.

In high school there were these two chicks...they made going to school enjoyable.

Me too..check out the one @ about 6 minutes in the Beatles video...nice legs indeed!

The Dead did an impromptu free concert on a flatbed truck in the Haight on March 3, 1968.

The Beatles rooftop set was awesome [emoji4]

U2 did something similar:

I think you misspelled the last word in the sentence... ;)
The Beatles (before Yoko) were awesome.

Thought this was going to be an Apollo 11 thread
50 years ago this weekend, the Eagle landed
Always a Beatles fan, Rocky Raccoon and Maxwells Silver Hammer are some of my favs

Style in general.

What we have now is comfort --- with style no where to be seen! :eek:

No less than Billy Preston on the keyboard.
