Notes: This was the fifth day of rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios. In the morning, The Beatles, in good spirits, focused on
songs they had worked on in the previous days and provided solid performances of "Two Of Us", "One After 909", "Don`t Let Me
Down" and "I`ve Got A Feeling".To start the day, George Harrison had introduced a new composition, "I Me Mine", which was extensively rehearsed after lunch.

In the afternoon, the band also spent a great amount of time on another Harrisong, "All Things Must Pass", as well as on Paul
McCartney`s "Maxwell`s Silver Hammer" and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". Paul also led them through their first
group rehearsals of "The Long And Winding Road" and "Let It Be". And John Lennon introduced a new song on this day, "Mean Mr.
Mustard".Among the cover versions and improvisations played on this day, two early Lennon-McCartney compositions "Too Bad About
Sorrows" and "Just Fun" were briefly performed. After "Too Bad About Sorrows", John declared "Queen says no to pot smoking FBI members".

This remark was included on the "Let It Be" album prior to "For You Blue" and was the only piece of audio recorded at Twickenham to be used.

Thanks to The Paul McCartney Project for the notes.
