(Monday, January 6, 1969, 10:30 a.m. BST) — Following a weekend break, The Beatles gathered this morning at Twickenham Film Studios in London for the third day of rehearsals for the Get Back/Let It Be sessions, intended to form the basis for both a television documentary and a new album. 

The songs which received the most attention were “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Two Of Us.”

There was also a great deal of conversation and bickering between the group members. During rehearsals for “Two Of Us,” a terse exchange took place between Paul McCartney and George Harrison which was included in the Let It Be film, and which seemed to encapsulate the strained relations within the group at the time.
