Fifty Years Ago

[Mariner]

This was a rooftop performance by the Beatles during the recording of Let it Be.

It was not their last album.

Abbey Road would be released approximately 6 months later.

[Mariner]

Creative genius combined with two of the best pop singers of the last 100 years.

This will rock you, and it is worth it.

Lots of Irish.........

Billy Preston clearly walks out with the band and you can see him at the 18:23 mark sitting at his keyboard.

[JoSixChip]

I don’t see it, but I’ll take your word for it.

[eyedigress]

For the younger crowd when we were kids.......

The only black man on the roof, easy to miss.

[JoSixChip]

Thanks for the effort, I see it now.

[ifinnegan]

Yeah. He said there’d be a hundred million infected by March 1.

Anyhow, Let It Be was their last released album, but it was recorded before Abbey Road.

Rooftop session was 51 years ago now.

Fifty years ago Julie London was still alive and still had her voice.

The Beatles were okay for what they were, but I was never an adolescent girl so there was a whole lot of music of different genres that were more my thing.

[Cowgirl]

Saw the Beatles at St Louis stadium. I must have been 16 or 17.

[Mariner]

Absurd.

Billy Preston is on the roof with them playing.

Par for you just just being an asshole.

That’s why the big, hard-assed guys always pissed on your shoes at the urinal.

You know, the guys that shaved at 14 and got the girls.

Something you’ll never be able to relate to.

Ya, but not a single one of them survived. Weren't we supposed to meet for a beer, or something?

[Mariner]

I’ll send you my new address.

What state are you in?

I was serious. And not threatening.

[JoSixChip]

Fort Collins Colorado. I was supposed to be out that way now with my travel trailer and bike. But the covid flu closed all the parks. Still in my plans to get out west this year; Before it becomes part of Mexico.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

To late it already is part of Mexico, as a matter of fact it is more Mexico than America SORRY, before you come you better learn Spanish!!

The only time I saw Ringo Starr was with Billy Preston and John entwhistle

John Lennon was the last to sign off on the end of the Beatles and that was around 1975 at Disney World in Florida
