Don’t let me down #beatles | David Griffin

‘Don’t Let Me Down’ was written by John as an expression of his love for Yoko Ono.⁠ ⁠ In 1970, he said to Rolling Stone magazine: “When it gets down to it, when you’re drowning, you don’t say, ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.” ⁠ ⁠ This video is from The Beatles’ final live performance, on the rooftop of Apple Studios - though they didn’t know it would be their last at the time. ⁠ ⁠ Hear the full song:

“Don't Let Me Down (First Rooftop Performance)” is streaming now as a preview of the Let It Be Special Editions, arriving 15th October. This bluesy performance is taken from The Beatles’ final performance atop Apple Corps headquarters on 30th January 1969. Listen now: https://TheBeatles.lnk.to/DontLetMeDown2021 | The Beatles
