When John hitched up with Yoko...
1:01:14
he said, "Yoko is now a part of me.
1:01:18
"In other words, as I have a right
and left hand, so I have Yoko. That's me.

1:01:23
"And wherever I am, she is."
1:01:26
That was a bit difficult to deal with.
1:01:27
Suddenly, she would
appear in the control room.

1:01:29
Nobody would say anything to me.
1:01:30
I wasn't even introduced to her,
but she would just sit there...

1:01:33
and her influence would be felt.
1:01:36
To begin with,
everyone was irritated by it.

1:01:51
By the time we got to Let it Be,
we couldn't play the game anymore.

1:01:54
We could see through each other...
1:01:56
and therefore we felt uncomfortable.
1:01:58
Because up till then, we really believed
intensely in what we were doing...

1:02:02
and the product we put out.
Everything had to be just right.

1:02:05
And we believed.
Suddenly, we didn't believe.

1:02:08
I don't mind. I'll play
whatever you want me to play.

1:02:11
Or I won't play at all, if you don't
want me to play.

1:02:14
Whatever it is that will please you,
I'll do it.

1:02:18
So we couldn't do it anymore.
1:02:19
It came to a point
where it was no longer creating magic.

1:02:21
And the camera sort of being in
the room with us made us aware of that.

1:02:25
That it was a phony situation
and that was the end of it.

1:02:30
Out of that frustration
came the crazy idea...

1:02:33
to do a concert on the roof
above the Apple offices.

1:02:38
Of course, none of us
had the vaguest idea...

1:02:40
that would be the last time the Beatles
would ever perform together in public.
