It was the culmination of a month-long project that saw the Beatles rehearsing at Twickenham Film Studios for a concert at a yet undecided venue, at which they were going to perform their new album live. The Beatles ‘Rooftop Concert’ took place on 30th January 1969. THE ‘BEATLES ROOFTOP CONCERT’ – THEIR LAST LIVE PERFORMANCE FOR ‘LET IT BE’ There is only one person who might be able to lead a Beatles Tour that would rival those conducted by Richard Porter but I don’t think Paul McCartney is offering Beatles tours (yet).(Peter Nosko) Will lightning strike twice? Will a Beatle casually materialise? But Porter is talking again, more facts, more memorabilia. As does Porter, standing before us now, irrepressible, and so likeable that you wish you could set him to music. Springing cheerily from his limo, Paul consorted with the fans before vamoosing to cut his album. Here, several years ago, Paul McCartney appeared while Porter was doing his tour. “The walls in front of the famous studios are smeared with a million cliches, long-standing graffiti proclaiming the fans’ undying love. His personal knowledge adds an element of credibility that is unavailable elsewhere.” USA Today After more than 20 years and guiding around 150,000 visitors, Richard’s lead is the one to heed. Dubbed the “Beatles Brain of Britain,” his personal kinship with John, Paul, George and Ringo makes the London tours he conducts for London Walks some of the most popular in the city. “When it comes to possessing a thorough knowledge of the movements of the Beatles, there are few who can surpass Richard Porter. In reality, considering the Sixties pop scene was a hotbed of sex and psychedelic drugs, he probably knows more about The Beatles than the remaining members of the Fab Four can remember themselves.” Brian Crisp National Travel Editor, Escape “RICHARD Porter is the smartest man in Britain – at least when it comes to The Beatles. You end up at the Beatles Coffee shop at the St John’s Woods tube station that has a nice selection of high-quality Beatles t-shirts. You only visit the places on the outside, but Richard has plenty of photos to give you a sense what happened there. You visit Paul’s office on Soho Square, the Palladium, the gentlemen’s toilet where John did a skit for TV, Carnaby St, where John met Yoko, and more, ending up at the Abbey Road street crossing. Richard is super enthusiastic and a wealth of information. This is a 2 1/2 hour walking tour visiting important Beatles sites around Soho led by Richard, the world’s #1 Beatles fan.
Songs you will never forget, the film you have never seen and a story that has never been heard.
