1969 - The Beatles

The Beatles
with Billy Preston, played their lunchtime rooftop gig on top of the Apple building on Savile Row, London. Lasting for just over 40 minutes it was the last time The Beatles performed live. The played ‘Get Back’, ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’, ‘The One After 909’ and ‘Dig A Pony’. Traffic was brought to a standstill as crowds of people gathered below and watched from windows in nearby buildings. John Lennon ended the performance by saying “I’d like to say ‘Thank you’ on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.”

I’m glad they stopped inconveniencing the people of London. Playing noisily on that rooftop, sent the police to tell them to turn their amps down.
A few months later, they had traffic blocked off while walking across Abbey Road, several times.
