Footage of the Beatles's Last Show, on Its 45th Anniversary
Performed on a London rooftop.
On January 30, 1969, London lunch-goers were treated to an unexpected Beatles concert. That remarkable event was made all the more memorable by this -- it was the band's last show together.
The 42-minute set took place on the roof of 3 Savile Row, the five-story headquarters of the Beatles's record company Apple. As pedestrians and neighbors figured out what was happening, word spread. Soon, crowds filled the street and nearby rooftops.
