The Beatles – (almost) Complete Rooftop Concert
3 Savile Row, London, Thursday 30 January 1969
Using recordings from Yellow Dog’s Complete 2CD Rooftop Concert (YD
072/073) as source, this compilation is an attempt at getting this
concert back to its full length (42 minutes). Four cameras were running
at the time, camera A being the main one, its rolls captured most of
the concert with the best sound quality. This recording had been used
for some “complete” Rooftop bootlegs in the past. Other cameras were
placed on another rooftop (D), at Apple reception desk (C) or on the
street (B) to register the reactions to the concert. As these would
still be running while A would stop, their rolls provide in-between
recordings of warm-ups and impromptus.
The rooftop stage was linked with Apple studio in the basement where
Glyn Johns, recorded the whole show, except for the first section of
God Save The Queen as young second engineer Alan Parsons had to change
the 8 track tape.
To complete this CD, I’ve included recordings of the Beatles in Apple
Studio, discussing the concert with Michael Lindsay-Hogg: track 01, on
the previous day (from Anthology video) and 16-20, with George Martin,
shortly after their performance, while the second 8 track sound tape is
being played back.

Further comments:
Although I personally found more logical to mark the three complete
versions of Get Back respectively as 1, 2 & 3, Get Back warm up
consisting of just a few bars of the song, I opted for Yellow Dog’s
numeration for those of you who would have this particular set.
I must admit having found no indication as at what time the police
arrived in front of the building; so for continuity reason I chose to
place this segment (camera B3) before the comment of some good citizen
(B1),
which was on the same roll as God Save The Queen (track 12). Actually,
the film shows the police arriving to hear a complaint from a neighbor
across the street while the Beatles are about to finish performing One
After 909, and knocking on Apple office’s door in the middle of Dig A
Pony solo, but this may be just a matter of film editing which may not
reflect the actual chronology of the events (remember the film omits
I’ve Got A Feeling 2 & Don’t Let Me Down 2 before we see two bobbies
actually appear on the roof while the Beatles perform Get Back 4).
Tracks 12c and 16-20 indicate roll 1149 (camera B1) as source, but the
actual music source is the second sound tape that’s being played back
in the studio. This explains why John’s (and Paul’s) voice can be heard
over I’ve Got A Feeling warm up (12c), as I unfortunately had no
alternate (clean) source for this section.
And for the reference maniacs: The first sound tape (from Get Back 2 to
Dig A Pony) is E 90522 ST.
Can one assume the second tape was numbered E 90523 ST (or does ST
stand for start)?
In order to give full (and hopefully) correct information, here’s the
track list again, indicating this time which tracks, once remixed, made
it to the Let It Be film, Let it Be LP and/or Get Back master.
