Don't Let me Down


This is one of the sexiest concerts in the history of music. When people think of The Beatles, they often think of "Yellow Submarine" or "Help!" It's really too bad because they really went on to make some meaningful stuff. The video linked to below is from the Beatle's famed Rooftop Concert which you can read about here.

My favorite song from the concert is called "Don't Let Me Down."  It's soulful, it's gritty, and its chorus, "Don't Let Me Down" hits at the core of what motivates me as a friend: loyalty. Ironically, unknown to John, Paul, George, and Ringo -- this will have been their last public performance together as a complete band.

Listen to the song. It's worth it.

  1. Have you heard the version on the "Across the Universe" soundtrack? It's amazing. in fact, all the songs on that soundtrack are amazing. And I am usually a strict - "do not remake the Beatles" kind of person.

    1. Yeah, I haven't seen the movie, but I've listened to the soundtrack. I thought it was good.
