MESSAGING MATTERS

Lurching from demanding the logistic impossibility of Bio-metrics, through using the diplomatic community as the ‘headmaster's office’ to submit complaints - the stutter step that’s Opposition strategy- is the one constant that takes it in to General Elections.

GUYANA- NATIONAL UNITY NOW

Wars are Party neutral. Their goal is your country. We shouldn't even have to say it.

ONE GUYANA?

One Guyana may be an intent but is easily refuted if laws and policies to effect the intent are not for the benefit of all of society.

THE BEATLES -NOT QUITE AS POPULAR AS JESUS

UncategorizedTHE BEATLES -NOT QUITE AS POPULAR AS JESUS

Apple Studios, Savile Row, London
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Glyn Johns

The Beatles, with Billy Preston, gave their final live performance atop the Apple building at 3 Savile Row, London, in what became the climax of their Let It Be film.

We went on the roof in order to resolve the live concert idea, because it was much simpler than going anywhere else; also nobody had ever done that, so it would be interesting to see what happened when we started playing up there. It was a nice little social study.We set up a camera in the Apple reception area, behind a window so nobody could see it, and we filmed people coming in. The police and everybody came in saying, ‘You can’t do that! You’ve got to stop.’

Anthology

30 January 1969 in London was a cold day, and a bitter wind was blowing on the rooftop by midday. To cope with the weather, John Lennon borrowed Yoko Ono‘s fur coat, and Ringo Starr wore his wife Maureen Starkey‘s red mac.

There was a plan to play live somewhere. We were wondering where we could go – ‘Oh, the Palladium or the Sahara.’ But we would have had to take all the stuff, so we decided, ‘Let’s get up on the roof.’ We had Mal and Neil set the equipment up on the roof, and we did those tracks. I remember it was cold and windy and damp, but all the people looking out from offices were really enjoying it.

The 42-minute show was recorded onto two eight-track machines in the basement of Apple, by George Martin, engineer Glyn Johns and tape operator Alan Parsons. The tracks were filled with the following: Paul McCartney, vocals; John Lennon’s and George Harrison’s vocals; Billy Preston’s organ; McCartney’s bass guitar; a sync track for the film crew; Starr’s drums; Lennon’s guitar; Harrison’s guitar.

That was one of the greatest and most exciting days of my life. To see The Beatles playing together and getting an instant feedback from the people around them, five cameras on the roof, cameras across the road, in the road, it was just unbelievable.
