May 8th is the anniversary of the release of the LAST studio Beatles album. "Let It Be" released in 1970, almost a month AFTER they broke-up and was actually recorded before the "Abbey Road" road album, but released in reverse order. They only recorded as "The Beatles" for 7 years ?!
Also, on January 30, 1969, the "Let It Be" rooftop concert was the final public performance of the Beatles. The audio was recorded by engineer Alan Parsons (yes, THAT Alan Parsons!) and film director Michael Lindsay-Hogg brought in a camera crew to capture several angles of the performance—including reactions from people on the street. The performance was cut short by the police after complaints about noise. The concert came to an end with the conclusion of "Get Back", with John Lennon saying, "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition."
