I just purchased the Beatles "Let it Be Rehearsals Vol 1."...it is the Complete Rooftop Concert from Jan 30 1969. Awesome album....watching a Beatles concert is something that made me think..what it would be like if lennon and harrison were alive..and they put aside creative differences or whatnot within the group..and played and toured. imagne the following they would have.

there was a movie that i vaguely remember from the late 90s on VH1 (i think) that portrayed a fictional meeting between john and paul at pauls apartment, had john not died. or something like that.
not quite what you mean, but i hadnt thought of it in years until i just read this post, and i kind of want to go find a copy of it now because i didnt watch it when it was on

That sounds cool. I've always wondered if the actual live concert audio would ever become available...
I ran into something interesting a while ago. Evidently, The Jefferson Airplane did a rooftop concert in New York City a year earlier and were filmed by French New Wave filmmaker Jean Luc Godard. They were also shut down by the police, I believe.
The Beatles, or at least members of their inner circle, would have been aware of this, and I wonder if this earlier event had an influence on them when they were deciding how to end their film.
We know, that the Beatles' rooftop performance later inspired other groups such as U2 and the B-Sharps to perform and film their own rooftop gigs.
PS: Is the film, "Let It Be," available on DVD yet?

Actually, Lennon and Harrison had the fewest creative differences by 1969 than any other pair of Beatles I'm aware of. They actually worked together quite productively. And those two DID continue to work and record together after the split.
In an odd, side note,, Billy Preston (who played the keyboards for the Fab Four, on the Apple Corps rooftop) died yesterday, at 59, from kidney failure.
