The Beatles is coming back 53 years after their disbandment, and their legendary rooftop concert should be credited for that.
For long-time fans of The Beatles, their breakup in 1970 was too sudden, especially since they initially thought it was only temporary. But little did they know, the band's 1969 rooftop concert would be their last live performance.
The 42-minute set in January 1969 saw The Beatles' live performance, which was not included in the "Let It Be" box set dropped in the fall. But after a long wait, fans will finally see them perform again through "The Beatles: Get Back - The Rooftop Performance."
The Beatles is Back!
On The Beatles' YouTube channel, it has been revealed that the rooftop show would arrive on streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music, on January 28. Some of its footage has also been added to Peter Jack's documentary. "The Beatles: Get Back."
The Steward of the iconic band's legacy, Giles Martine, spoke candidly how he completed the stereo with Dolby Atmos working with Sam Okell for the remixes of the live set. They reportedly planned it carefully based on Sir George Martin's original plan for the band.

"He didn't want to put the Beatles' singles on their albums, because you're selling stuff more than once. We bear that in mind when we do these [collections]. Our thinking was, 'Well, how many different versions of songs are we going to be putting out there?'" he said.
Martin also noted how McCartney asked him how many "Get Back" versions he wants to release.
