Their Final Performance: 40 Years Ago Today:


At the end of the last rooftop performance of “Get Back”, the audience applauds and McCartney says “Thanks, Mo” in reply to Maureen Starkey’s applause, and Lennon adds: “I’d like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we’ve passed the audition”. Spector used some of the talk preceding the master take of 27 January and edited on these comments to make the album version sound different from the single. Because of the talk at the start and end of the take, the different mix and the absence of the coda it is widely believed that the album version was a different take. In fact all three versions use the same ‘take 11′ as the core performance. One can define this ‘take 11′ by listening for the high “hoo!” or “bup!” just before “Get back, Loretta!” in all versions.

They never get old.

Do they know who called the cops to turn down the volume????

Ahh, the good old days.
