I am not opposed to the image of the Savile Row building, but wasn't the image of The Beatles on the rooftop more descriptive of the page? Pcnc2013 (talk) 18:22, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's more descriptive, but it's also a

copyright violation of a still from the Let It Be film, and the fact that Abbey Road still costs £10.99 on iTunes means that Apple Records are very much still in the business of protecting the Beatles' copyright. You can use non-free images in limited context, but since the free image of Savile Row is available, it's unlikely to be successful. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:50, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

Ok - that makes sense. It's a shame that Apple doesn't allow use of images on Wikipedia - these articles are only helping increase awareness about The Beatles. Pcnc2013 (talk) 02:49, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article would be a great subject for a

I'll see what I can do! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:29, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All the cites now include page numbers, but the article still isn't exactly in great shape. I'm not sure how much time I'll have in the next couple of days to help flesh some details out, but I'll do my best to pitch-in where I can. Cheers!

Thanks for the quick fixes. I've put in a DYK nomination now. The influence the gig had can definitely be expanded, Perone's book claims it was an inspiration for the Woodstock film and I'd be surprised if a source hasn't connected this with

Pink Floyd at Pompeii at some point. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:40, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

Yeah, it would be nice to expand the details a bit. When is the earliest that it be a DYK? This coming 30 January 2014 will mark the 45th anniversary. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:14, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If somebody passed it right now, I would expect it to be on the main page in 3 / 4 days, but I like the idea of holding it for 30 January, so I'll add that as a footnote. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:28, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any secondary sources about the homage to this concert in The Simpsons? "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", which actually links back here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These sources list more songs performed, 1, 2. I assume that the jams were false starts or just a few notes. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 01:33, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, wasn't there a brief warmup of "Get Back" before the first complete take? Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 23:22, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, FWIW, before one of the takes of "Don't Let Me Down" (the second one, I think), George starts to play "Get Back". Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 00:09, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
