This time my Beatles hiatus was quite long, so I am back with a vengeance. The titles of two classic songs back to back almost sounds like a command... that is not the case. I feel a need to get or give back as I am still the luckiest man in the world- even hearing from an old friend today who I had the pleasure of growing up with from 1968 to 1972. So my get back reference is just that- I need to get back to taking care of what really matters. The don't let me down part is there because the video contains two great songs and I can't edit worth a darn!
John Lennon wrote the song as a love song to Yoko- controversial as she was during the time it is deeply felt and clearly he sings the song from the heart.
This rare footage shows the Beatles and their last live performance ever from the rooftop of the Apple Corps building in London. The January 30, 1969 performance was unannounced but quickly drew crowds and eventually the English Bobbies shut it down after receiving a lot of complaints. The Beatles were finishing the filming and recording of what they were calling Get Back. Abbey Road ended up being released before the final touches were done on the Get Back- later titled Let it be album. The video is over 7 minutes long- but shows a tight performance of the soon to break up band. Live Happy-
