The Roof-top Concert. High above the shoppers of London, most of whom weren't aware of the historic event they were missing; if only they had looked up. You could sense the whole thing was unravelling: the body language, the snippets of conversation. This stage of their journey was closing rapidly. This is a film of four individuals. They've come a long way and will go a long way. But they sure ain't a group anymore. Until, until...they start playing. The mutual acknowledgements return, the music is as fantastic and energetic as ever. Go Beatles, go.
But doesn't Ringo look cold? And who is that guy scaling the ladder in the background?
Yep: delivering as ever. Here it is.
It's another reason we love The Beatles.
Reason 1: Story-tellers
Reason 2: Sgt. Pepper
Reason 3: Eternally optimistic
Reason 4: Still cool
Reason 5: George Harrison.
Reason 6: Love Me Do
Reason 7: Work Ethic
Reason 8: Synchronicity
