Photo taken during the famous Beatles rooftop performance, on top of their Apple Corps studio, on January 30th 1969.

The short set list consisted of:

“Get Back” (three takes)

“Don’t Let Me Down” (two takes)

“I’ve Got a Feeling” (two takes)

“One After 909” (one take)

“Dig a Pony” (one take)

Peter Asher can be seen kneeling in front of John, holding up a sheet with lyrics; Beatle wives Yoko Ono and Maureen Starr (“Thanks, Mo”) also are attending. The Metropolitan Police pulled the plug eventually—this was a time when rock music was still a subversive thing, even when you were The Beatles.
