"Get Back" is one of their best albums, IMO. FYI it's the original "Let It Be" album mixed by someone else. It's essentially the takes from the Get Back sessions and the rooftop concert cleaned up and minus the Phil Spector shitty mixing and effects.

Except when The Beatles did it, they caused traffic jams..Imagine being in NYC and word got out about a FREE Beatles show..

The acoustics on that rooftop suck.

God the Beatles were good though. Probably the most influential rock group of all time.

I've probably watched those clips 100 times in the last 40 yrs. and they still give me shivers up my spine. :thumbsup:

IIRC, it was also the first one they'd played in years.

True, the amps of the day were so underpowered it got difficult to hear the band over the screaming fans. Also the recordings became much more complex (Revolver), making any live performance that much more difficult to reproduce the songs..

Butch1 is quoting George Harrison from the Simpsons episode.
