Notes: This first day officially began at around 9:30 am, with director Michael Lindsay-Hogg filming The Beatles assistants, Mal
Evans and Kevin Harrington, installing The Beatles equipment onto the empty stage (the shots would eventually be used for
the opening sequence of the "Let It Be" film).John Lennon and George Harrison arrived at 11 am, soon followed by Ringo Starr.
Paul McCartney was delayed on public transport and arrived at 12:30 pm. Among the other people present in the studio were
sound engineer Glyn Johns, Apple Films director Dennis O`Dell, George Martin and Yoko Ono.

The Beatles spent much of the day working on three songs, John Lennon`s "Don`t Let Me Down", Paul and John`s "I`ve Got A
Feeling", and Paul`s "Two Of Us". Some other original compositions were also introduced, "Sun King", "Dig A Pony", "Let It Down"
and "All Things Must Pass" (the latter two would be recorded on GeorgeHarrison`s 1970 album "All Things Must Pass").

Thanks to The Paul McCartney Project for the notes.
