when did the beatles play their last concert
The Beatles' rooftop concert The Beatles' rooftop concert was the final public performance of the English rock band the Beatles. On 30 January 1969, the band, with keyboardist Billy Preston, surprised a central London office and fashion district with an impromptu concert from the roof of the headquarters of the band's multimedia corporation Apple Corps at 3 Savile Row. In a 42-minute set, the Beatles played nine takes of five songs before the Metropolitan Police asked them to reduce the volume. Footage from the performance was used in the 1970 documentary film Let It Be.
Break-up of the Beatles There were numerous causes for the band's break-up; it was not a single event but rather a long transition.[1] Some of the factors contributing to the separation include the cessation of touring in 1966 and the death of their manager Brian Epstein in 1967.[2] Conflicts also arose from differences in artistic vision.[3] Both George Harrison and Ringo Starr temporarily left the group at various points during 1968â€“69 and all four band members had begun working on solo projects by 1970 as they all realised the likelihood the band would not regroup. Ultimately, animosity made it impossible for the group to continue working together in the years following.[4]
