We're at number 8 already? Number 10 was Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime. Number 9 was Grateful Dead's Bertha. Number 8 is upon us.

Beatles Rooftop Concert: Get Back (1969)

When the Beatles stepped off the stage at Candlestick Park in 1966, only they knew it was their last concert. They took some time off and then went into the studio to record the Sgt. Pepper's album. Concerts were pointless by 1967. Their music was too sophisticated to play it live, and they needed the time to perfect the music in the studio. By 1969, the Beatles were not even getting along anymore, and it's a miracle that they agreed to the performance below.

This is not really a concert. The Beatles were recording and filming the Let it Be album in early 1969 when they decided to set up on the roof of their office building in London. That's right, the Beatles had an office building for Apple Corps, the business they set up after their manager, Brian Epstein, died. The Beatles were not getting along, and the fact that they became businessmen made things worse. Playing a concert on the rooftop would liven things up, but it didn't last. Some killjoy called the police, and that was that. Don't you wish you were there?
