45 Years Ago This Month: The Final Beatles Concert
And it was free, too.
I don't know what I enjoy more. Either it's a rare performance on lead guitar by John Lennon on that big Epiphone Casino [Lennon usually played rhythm guitar and George Harrison would play lead] or that fellow in the trilby with the pipe casually walking on the roof of a neighboring building reminding me of Monsieur Hulot. Maybe it's McCartney playing that Hofner "fiddle bass" that he preferred in those days as, being a southpaw, it could easily be played either by right- or left-handers.
By the way, that's Billy "Fifth Beatle" Preston on keyboards.
