On this day the final live performance of the iconic band The Beatles took place on the rooftop of the Apple headquarters in Savile Row, London. The impromptu concert lasted for just 42 minutes before the Metropolitan Police forced the band to stop playing. After the concert, George Harrison is reported to have said: “We went on the roof in order to resolve the live concert idea, because it was much simpler than going anywhere else; also nobody had ever done that, so it would be interesting to see what happened when we started playing up there. It was a nice little social study.” Footage from the performance was later used in the 1970 documentary film ‘Let It Be’.
