"At 12:50 AM, they go on-air before the studio audience. Halfway through “Let It Be,” their second song, George Harrison yells to Michaels offstage that “after the third, we’ll just keep going if that’s all right.” Michaels quickly negotiates additional airtime with NBC (which gleefully capitulates) and the result is a spontaneous, three-hour live televised concert, famous not only for obvious reasons but for a host of its own idiosyncrasies: Lennon getting the hiccups during “Help,” McCartney playfully changing two lines of “Lady Madonna” to “where’s our three thousand, or our thirty-two/got to realize that now the cheque is due,” and Starr inviting the horn section of the Saturday Night Live band onstage “so we can do With A Little Help [From My Friends] properly.” "

This was a surprising interesting read. I don't know the details of what actually happened but for a casual (or not so casual) Beatles fan, this was pretty cool.

Currently watching Oliver Stone's U-Turn. Pretty cool so far.
I spent all morning asking this question. No one had an answer. One tip I got was to bookmark the "Live Feed" view in your browser, and go to that instead of just the generic FB homepage.
