Dizzy Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I actually rather enjoyed that Why were they on a roof though and even weirder, why were all the other people on roofs (rooves?) too or were they just extras on the video? Shame McCartney and his bushy beard didn't jump though Tin hat quickly someone please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireboy Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 It was the Beatles last ever public concert. They were on the verge of breaking while making there last album. They put on a surprise concert on the roof of there apple corps building in London. A nice surprise on a cold dull January day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Gosh.. so they last did a public concert when I was 5 years old I thought they had carried on longer than that although I do remember one of my class mates at secondary being distraught one day (and I rather unsympathetically said "god what's up with you today mizzo you'd think someone had died". Opps he just broke down in tears infront of me in a long and echoing corridor and screamed out that John Lennon had been shot and then fell into my arms like a limp cabbage that had been overboiled. I couldn't quite understand why a 16 year old lad thought his whole world had suddenly ended just because some 'pop stars' had died but I comforted him all the same whilst thinkig 'errm can someone please help me here' No-one did of course. It's one of those moments that's sort of etched into my memory though, not becasue Lennon was shot, but because of the effect it had on this one lad at school. He never ever asked me to karate chop his pencils or pens either after that day. Very sad and I wonder if he every really recovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 They are defining moments in your life aren't they? Seeing things like this on TV, Lennon being shot, Mark Bolan wrapping his mini round a tree, Freddie Mercury dying. They stick in the mind. Aren't I morbid???? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nahh but you are sounding just like a saddo who hasn't got a grip on life.... just like little Stevie clearly hadn't all those years ago at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't I morbid???? :blink: There are always those "where we're you" moments. A big event in history and you always remember exactly where you were and what you were doing at the time. No matter how long ago it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Given some of the events that have been really 'big' I don't think the deaths of singers,particularly as two of them were self inflicted,could be classed as big events in history.
