Absolutely. I had no idea George and John still kept in touch. This was amazing footage. Where the hell has it been and why are we seeing it now? Why hasn’t this been released as the most awesome documentary ever filmed? I’m really blown away at John’s incredible talent.

And trashing Paul..yeah real great

​@@brettwalker5446george and john were good friends

@@brettwalker5446 by "we" you mean "you" this footage has been around for quite awhile.

@@jettsteari3062 people blame Yoko, but the only one that didnt actively record or do things with the other three was Paul...

And it has never got the attention it deserves. It is a gorgeous song.

it is, right behind (Just Like) Starting Over of course

It’s absolutely sublime with Harrison guitar and Lennon piano.

I must agree.

I love that song. Yoko shares a writing credit with him on that.

it was 1971 George was 28

cause lennon looks like he hasnt changed clother in 3 days, and george has a huge beard. Give 'em a shower, a haircut and a good shave, and you'll see they looked just their age

Also back then people expected they could be dead by 55 looking 80

they smoked a lot, also stress

@@ReyAgua It's really because they were the types of musicians who did sessions the old fashioned way: they would keep working until a song was done. They just look rumpled, unshaven, and unkempt, probably because they had been up for a few days working on this one song.

John also played with Ringo a lot during the same period.

George was the closest thing to a little brother John ever had. During the Beatles, he could be critical of George but if anyone else did it or picked on George, who was a minor when they started, Lennon would instantly and instinctively crack down on them. John picked George to be the Beatles' guitarist even though he thought he was too young to be in a band-obviously he was impressed with George's musicianship and knew he was a better guitar player.

AMAZING

George played on several of Lennons albums

People seem to forget Paul was the reason they both wanted out. George probably wanted out more than john.

His guitar intro makes the song. It's so beautiful.

​@netromrep6325 ❤

He is a Goodman too😊

Absolutely

Yeah, not so much…

The man is a stud on drums.

yep

💯 👍

Which one is he

@@ff-qc7qy 1:08 (with cigarette in his mouth)

I believe Ted Turner from Wishbone Ash was there also.

Hé did played on " don t wanna be a soldier" ,hé ought to play a mellotron 400 ,but it was out of order !! So hé did grabbed Alan White's tambourin and hit it ...

Dissing Paul together ❤

I know I love him too and miss him.

Is he still in prison? Did he get a full life term? Some murderers do less than twenty years then get released.

We don't take his name. He committed that heinous crime for seeking the whole world's attention, and if we take his name anywhere on the internet, then we're feeding his ambition.

Makes me ashamed to have been named Mark.

@@markpr73 Mark Knopfler, Mark Cuban, Mark Wahlberg, Mark Twain, Mark Ruffalo, Mark Madsen... Look at the bright side.

Lennon's solo career produced some laughably bad song like Imagine and So this is Christmas

Phil Spector needed and didn't get an intervention. He needed to be declared mental, from the first time he pulled out a gun and fired it in the studio, which I think was a number of times. But yes, up until he killed that lady, poor soul, he brought good things to rock history, which included All Things Must Pass, Let it Be, and Imagine.

John had been penning songs since the early 60's.. Perhaps every well runs dry eventually or repeats itself. It happened to all 4.

Excellent job, Mate

Very little here that isn't just opinion.

Another biased narrative pushing take, a dime a dozen, but people love them. It's actually pretty obvious that George and Ringo worked with John because they respected him and still considered him a friend. Ironically enough, John had his biggest commercial successes when he came to America, scoring a US number one single with 'Whatever Gets You thru the Night'-- in collaboration with, what I guess you wrongly consider a lesser talent, Elton John. A year later John would help David Bowie (another artist you consider for some reason a lesser talent) write his first US number one single. When he launched his comeback, 'Just Like Starting Over' was already on its way to number one in the charts before he was murdered. Most importantly though, John's albums were on average better reviewed than either Paul's or George's efforts. Go ahead though, I know people like you often have a way of completely downplaying and twisting facts. And regarding the other laughable comment of Paul being "the shining light", and the absurd fanboyist claim that he never had a dip or dry well: Paul was not only astonishingly inconsistent, he always aimed for the lowest common denominator with his empty commercial music. In fact, up until John's retirement in 1975, Lennon had actually been more consistent with his output than Paul. McCartney's debut album is a clearly a half-assed work that piggybacked on the breakup of The Beatles. 'Ram' was a slightly better effort but remains slight. Then he went on to produce two half-baked tedious and terribly reviewed albums with 'Wild Life' and 'Red Rose Speedway', but not before at least penning a vapid commercial hit to go along with the latter. Paul finally managed to achieve his big critical and commercial success with 'Band on the Run', before immediately squandering any critical favor and regressing to a mediocre middle of the road arena rock act. Don't even get me started on his 80's material, or the even later material that only the fanboys seem to obsess over. Most importantly though, Paul was only commercially successful in relation to the other solo Beatles because neither John nor George were as desperate or concerned with status and attention, that's bared out in the fact that John never toured, and George seldom did -- which is the act that naturally pushed sales -- and in John's case, he never aimed at being overly commercial in the first place which is evident in some of his choices for singles and the personal quality of his work.

I’m sure it didn’t take much for George to want to help John on his album

Exactly. It’s John’s style

The A minor root goes back centuries. He knew it and used it. Now and then starts in A minor

It's not "Now and Then", which was written in '79. It's just a chord progression Lennon used a lot.

Yes indeed ❤❤❤

That little part when it started out kind of reminded me of you never give me your money also

Said to Paul not John.

Mas a Yoko tá Presente no Vídeo 🇯🇵

@@lucassales9485 mas a bicha é tipo um parasita, fica sempre do lado do piano kkkkk , dessa vez pelo menos ela manteve uma distancia de 3 metros. kkkkkk

Too many people was a pity joke against yoko. How ru going to go against a freind who is in love?

@@GreggSagge-lt6lewhat?

@@sassyt1545 their are songs that paul created that took jabs at yoko.. a song called too may people is one of them. So this song was johns response to paul

it's are unfair ... BUT John used one of his best songs to do it. It's a compliment. He could have used a lousy song too, but he didn't.

If you listen again, John said he had dinner with Paul and that the lyrics were not about Paul but about him.

Nah, not really. It’s just that Phil Spector put that damn orchestra underneath both songs. Thát is exactly the same.

@@oxsener how do you mean? The orchestra is not there in this clip and that piano is the same you hear in the “naked” version of The long and winding road.

I wonder how he slept at night knowing he ripped off Paul?

We are the sultans

Indeed. But i always imagined how good one more Beatles record wouldve been knowing at least half of the Imagine sings were mostly written during the latter stages of the Beatles and most of Harrison's top songs fr 'all things'. I think both John and George were already in solo mode during 'Abbey rd'.

he did very well on the prior album

@@paulramon3353 define “well.” Lennon sounded like crap, as he wished to, for his entire solo career. He liked to do things fast, Spector liked to cover his flaws with double and triple instruments, not a good mix.

Agree.

​@@markstevens1729nah

​​@@markstevens1729Sounded like crap? Wtf are you talking about? Lennons solo career was by far the best of the Beatles imo. Absolutely brilliant

“Well where would we put them” 🤣🤣
