      The Beatles 1969

      Their Final Year in Pictures

      JANUARY SAW THE BEATLES PLAY THEIR LAST CONCERT, ON APPLE CORPS’ ROOF. BY DECEMBER THEY HAD WRAPPED TWO ALBUMS AND WERE ON TO SOLO CAREERS

      SINGING GOODBYE On Jan. 30, 1969, the Beatles (and keyboardist Billy Preston) retreated to the rooftop of Apple Corps at 3 Savile Row for an unannounced 45-minute set. It was cold and windy and damp, but all the people looking out from offices were really enjoying it, Ringo Starr later said. Filmed for the 1970 documentary Let It Be, the concert was the Beatles’ last. But they weren’t done yet and headed back to the studio to complete that and another album.

      TIMES OF TROUBLE John Lennon called the early 1969 recording of Let It Be "the most miserable sessions on earth. George Harrison agreed: The lowest of the all-time low." A year later the film confirmed it, immortalizing the bickering between moments of brilliance. In the studio, George and John

      Paul and Ringo.

      George, Ringo, Yoko Ono, John and Paul McCartney

      PARTY TIME While the band was having internal problems, the label they founded, Apple, was signing new acts, among them a young American named James Taylor. Another was Mary Hopkin, an 18-year-old Welsh singer who won a TV talent show. McCartney produced her debut album, Post Card, which included the hit Those Were the Days. Paul (above, with Hopkin) attended the album’s Feb. 13 launch party with then-girlfriend Linda Eastman.

      GEORGE QUITS After fighting with McCartney, Harrison walked out of a recording session Jan. 10, 1969. I thought, ‘What’s the point of this? I’m quite capable of being relatively happy on my own,’ he recalled in the 1995 Anthology interviews. The band played on as a trio, but after a conciliatory meeting on Jan. 15, he returned.

      MONEY MAN Manager Allen Klein represented Lennon in negotiations over control of his and McCartney’s Northern Songs publishing company in April. By September Lennon and McCartney, who was represented by his father-in-law, lawyer Lee Eastman, had lost ownership of the many songs they had written.

      PAUL MARRIES LINDA TO THE SOUND OF BELLS—AND BREAKING HEARTS On March 12, 1969, McCartney wed American photographer Linda Eastman, with Linda’s daughter Heather, 6, among the witnesses. It rained, and this was appropriate, the Guardian reported. The pavements outside Marylebone register office would have been wet in any case with the tears of fans thrown by the sudden reality of having failed to become Mrs. McCartney.

      HIS ROCK John Lennon married romantic and artistic partner Yoko Ono in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969. We chose [it] because it is quiet, British and friendly, said Lennon, then 29.

      NO. 1 Recorded on the same day as the love song Don’t Let Me Down and released as its B-side, Get Back climbed to the top of the charts in spring 1969. Don’t Let Me Down hit 35 on the Billboard Hot 100.

      BIG SCREEN Ringo Starr and actor Peter Sellers (in March 1969) starred together in the comedy The Magic Christian, which featured the Paul McCartney-penned Come and Get It, recorded by Badfinger.

      DRUG BUST Harrison and wife Pattie Boyd left a Surrey magistrate’s court after a police raid at their home—the same day as McCartney’s wedding—and an arrest for cannabis possession. They pleaded guilty, and each paid a £250 fine.

      WAR OF WORDS In the spring of 1969 (when Paul and Linda McCartney attended the London premiere of the film Alfred the Great) corrosive tensions simmered among the band members.

      ‘THE MAIN DOWNFALL IS THAT WE
