(Wednesday, January 8, 1969, 10:30 a.m. BST) — The Beatles gathered this morning at Twickenham Film Studios in London for the fifth 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 Beatles were in reasonably high spirits at this point, playing through the songs with enthusiasm which was sadly lacking elsewhere for much of January 1969.
