Complete Rooftop Concert 1969 compiles every known source, from nagra tapes to the concert film soundtrack, offering an all in one set that gathers all various versions of the rooftop concert recorded on January 30, 1969 for the movie Let It Be.  The first disc compiles the complete show from every known source and angle so you can hear every second of the filming. 

The problem is that not all of music and doodling is taken from the same location.  Tracks such as ”I Want You”, “God Save The Queen”, and “A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody” as well as the “Get Back” rehearsal are heard from the street level and the switching back and forth is disorienting.

The second and third discs contain unedited soundtracks from the filming which are boring and tend to drag.  For
