So unless the video I've been watching is really confusing and not the actual rooftop concert, I don't really know what's going on. Don't Let Me Down has a pretty distinct electric piano part played by Billy preston in the recording....but Billy Preston really isn't up on the roof...so is John Using some kind of amp that sounds like an electric guitar or modulating the guitar to make it sound like its an keyboard? Or is Billy Preston like crammed in a corner or something? Because I honestly don't see him.

Billy Preston played on the rooftop with the Beatles. If you look at the picture below, he's right behind Paul McCartney...

The only video from the rooftop concert I know of is in the Let It Be movie...

YouTube - Beatles Rooftop Concert - 1/3

He must have been crammed into the corner, because when I googled him and rooftop concert, he was definitely performing in it. So I'm just stupid, haha.

Well, I posted a picture previously where you can clearly see that he was not crammed in the corner. He's behind Paul McCartney...

I wouldn't say you're stupid, just not very observant...

I just didn't see the keyboard. I see it now. :/ Thanks for clearing that up, and thanks for the picture!

The youtube videos are hard to see...the vantage point is a bit different...Just saying :)

Might I say though that I would sell my soul to go back and be able to witness that concert. <3
