A rock concert on Friday that is meant to pay tribute to a 1969 Beatles concert will have an unusual stage: the rooftop of Broward College, 111 E. Las Olas Blvd.

Beginning at noon, The Beatles tribute band Anthology will perform on Broward College’s rooftop on Las Olas, just as the Fab Four performed 40 years ago atop the Apple Records building in London.

The local concert, known as the Fab Four Rooftop Concert, will celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Beatles original concert.

The idea was cooked up by midday host Mindy Lang on WMXJ-FM Majic 102.7. The group will perform the same songs that The Beatles did during their 1969 rooftop concert, and the radio station will eventually have videos available at its Web site, www.wmxj.com.

While the concert is free, visitors will only be allowed to watch and listen from street level.
