May 24, 1964 –
The Beatles performed You Can’t Do That from the set of A Hard Day’s Night in a taped segment on The Ed Sullivan Show on this date.
Ironically, You Can’t Do That would be cut out of the finished film.
May 24, 1969 –
The Beatles with Billy Preston hit No. 1 with Get Back, where it stayed for the next month. (It is the Beatles’ only single that credited another artist at their request.)
Get Back was going to be the title of the album and the documentary film about making it. The Beatles stopped touring in 1966 and were worn thin by 1968, but they rekindled their passion for performance after shooting the Hey Jude promotional film in September that year before a live audience. Energized by the effort, they agreed to the documentary; the concept was The Beatles “getting back” to their roots and playing new songs for a live audience without any studio tricks.
