The Beatles: Rooftop Concert

The aura of the last concert from The Beatles is indeed thrilling, but unfortunately, that's all there is to it. The Yoko Ono factor is present from the very beginning, as she intertwines herself into the band in her self-proclaimed role as the next band member – and this in itself ruins the experience for me. The same goes for shots of unsuspecting or downright laconic people on the street. I don't need to hear what Londoners in the late sixties thought of "this type of music". Besides, it's already over before the guys get into the right mood, so as a last live wave, it's sufficient only by virtue of its existence. (2020.10.27)
