On January 30, 1969, the Beatles played their last concert together on the rooftop of Apple’s headquarters on Savile Row in London. For the first time in over 50 years, the concert can be seen and heard in its entirety. The OMNIMAX® Theater’s state-of-the-art, laser-aligned sound system makes every seat feel like you’re on the rooftop with the band.
“If you were on the streets of London in 1969, you wouldn’t feel as close to the Beatles’ iconic final concert as you will in the OMNIMAX® Theater,” said Dave Duszynski, president of Mercury Museum Services, a subsidiary of Cincinnati Museum Center. “The theater’s sound system, paired with the Beatles’ music, shakes you in your seats for an unbelievable, immersive concert experience.”
The Beatles: Get Back – The Rooftop Concert is playing for three performances only: Friday, February 11 at 6 p.m.; Saturday, February 12 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, February 13 at 2 p.m. The 64-minute film features the entire 40-minute concert performance and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the Fab Four’s preparation and excitement to perform in front of the live audience below. The OMNIMAX® Theater powerfully conveys the mystique of the last-minute concert and the charisma of the iconic band in their final live performance together.
