Rooftop concert video (1969)
The Beatles, accompanied by Preston, performed on January 30, 1969 — intercut in the film with interviews of some rather surprised Londoners near the Apple headquarters as the music blasts out from the roof.
The Beatles played five songs during the rooftop performance: "Get Back" (three times), "Don't Let Me Down" (twice), "I've Got a Feeling" (twice), "One After 909", and "Dig a Pony". (The Beatles also played a brief version of the British national anthem, "God Save the Queen" and a brief rehearsal of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" while second engineer Alan Parsons was changing tapes. Those performances were omitted from the film.)
After the final song, McCartney is heard to say, "Thanks, Mo!" acknowledging the enthusiastic applause and cheering from Maureen Starkey. Then Lennon closes with the well-known remark, "I'd like to say 'thank you' on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition!" This exchange was spliced on to the end of the Let It Be album.

Paul McCartney: ?I want to record with Bob Dylan?, and other recent songwriting tips.
We’ve seen Paul collaborate with other pop/rock superstars. Michael Jackson, and Elvis Costello were wonderful collaborators for a post-Lennon McCartney. Somehow, I just don’t see Bob Dylan looking for a co-conspirator at this point in his career. Maybe a song or two, but I just cannot see it for a whole record.
If a collaboration like [...]
Video: Paul McCartney and Youth Talk ?The Fireman?

With all of this talk about The Beatles releasing the long-lost, long-rumored track “Carnival of Light”, the question about their legacy comes up. There are two camps. Preserve it in a bottle, and live with the tracks that we have. Those tracks conjure up memories and emotions well enough that they are imprinted on our [...]
