Technically speaking, January 30, 1969 is the correct date, when The Beatles performed on the rooftop of the Apple building in London.
But the final "scheduled" UK concert is May 1st, 1966 (exactly 50 years ago) when The Beatles performed at NME's Poll-Winners concert.
10,000 fans saw The Beatles perform for the 4th time at this event. Location of the venue was The Empire Pool, Wembley.
They played I Feel Fine, Nowhere Man, Day Tripper, If I Needed Someone and I'm Down.
No footage seems to exist of the concert itself, since Brian Epstein failed to come to an agreement about with ABC TV.
Other groups that appeared on stage that night were : The Spencer Davis Group, The Fortunes, Herman's Hermits, Roy Orbison, The Overlanders, The Alan Price Set, Cliff Richard and The Shadows, The Rolling Stones, The Seekers, The Small Faces, Sounds Incorporated, Dusty Springfield, Crispian St Peters, The Walker Brothers, The Who, The Yardbirds and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
