Culpa Direct: January 30, 1969

THE COMPLETE ROOFTOP CONCERT

January 30, 1969 - the first live performance by THE BEATLES since their August 29, 1966 show at Candlestick Park in San Francisco would also be their last. This day's events have been well-documented in various places, so I'll just let the audio speak for itself. (With a few photos, of course!)

Featured here is the complete rooftop concert as sourced from Purple Chick's "A/B Road". Some of the tracks are very short, "roll announcements" and between-song snippets, but this is all of the available audio from that day's filming.

Tracks 1 through 26 gives us the "complete" performance, but tracks 27 through 33 are from a different feed towards the end, and while some of the performance audio from 20 through 26 is duplicated, there are also some unique bits, particularly some control-room dialogue and some extra post-"hope-we've-passed-the-audition" banter.
