Yep. I had another 15 minutes to the video where I talk about that. I should probably share it. It's an interesting conversation that I think a lot of people wonder about.
I always felt that had he stayed around he would have probably had a very strange Glam Rock phase, he he probably would have been drawn to Elton and Bowie much earlier than he had, and been around Bolan and the likes, so rather than a his political phase, he would have had a glam rock phase
Makes me sad every time I see these photos. It was the end and you can see it on their faces. Especially John and George...they knew it was over. And, no, Yoko was not a Beatle and it’s a shame John didn’t see what a disruption she was.
@@jamesmanon3000 it doesn't/didn't seem like love to me but control & obsession between 2 needy people. Obsession can feel like love to "starving for love" people. Yoko didn't belong in the band sessions or in these photo shoots. Her energy alone was very heavy, and it disrupted the other 3 band members that DID belong there and in the recording & photo sessions. She was out of line and so was John for forcing the situation to include her (if in fact that is how it happened...or did she just push her way into being there???)!
MICHIGANDER HERE: I LEARNED FROM MY BIG SIS & BIG BROTHER TO LOVE THE BEATLES!!!! The FAB FOUR ❤️ I Remember watching them on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW …. FEBRUARY 1964…. IT WAS MAGICAL !!! THEY WERE SOOOO CUTE 🥰!!!! I WAS 7 Years old!!!! IAM NOW 67YRS. OLD,as of OCTOBER 8th 2023!!!! SO 60 Years of Loving THESE Guys!!! Actually Longer than that… MY BIG SISTER STARTED To LISTEN To THEM In , I think it was in 1962??? MAN OH MAN ,IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!! MACCA( PAUL) WHAT A GORGEOUS GUY!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️WOW!!!LOVE THAT MAN!!!THE BEST YEARS OF M Y LIFE!!!! I LOVE THE BEATLES!!!❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Lads of Liverpool. The Fab Four. We never grow tired of their music and their stories. Their legend can only grow, and what a time it was to experience their rise in popularity, "I Saw Her Standing There" blasting out on the pocket radios-when we weren't listening to baseball games in America, we were listening to the Beatles, it seems. Sadly, those days seemed to pass so quickly and our melancholy nostalgia tinged with a certain feeling of loss . The impotent rage at the killing of John Lennon and the passing of George Harrison makes for wonder at what more might have been/ No, the gifts they have given us was quite enough, perhaps more than we deserve...
Hi from Liverpool, I'm living 10 minutes away from Strawberry fields & John's old house on Mather Avenue, every time I go past either place I always say " alright John ", his spirit has been seen in both places over the years, I always look up at the front bedroom window when I pass Mendips & at times it feels like somebody is looking back at me, you never know? After all, he spent many years at this house & loved it. I'm 67 now but my older sister used to go & watch them in the Cavern, she married a yank & left Liverpool in 71, I recently sent her a signed t-shirt & photo from Pete Best,I was working in the Casbah, the place the lads first played before Ringo joined them,upstairs has now been converted into a hotel, but the club is still in the basement, as it was in 59/60, the black ceiling with silver stars ,painted by the lads is still there, as is John's scratched name on a wall & ceiling which he did with a small penknife ( which is now in the Beatle museum here in Liverpool) I'm very proud of the lads, they did alright for 4 scousers who shook the world.
The keepers cottage wasn’t “Mock Tudor” it was an original Tudor cottage as it was built during the 1600’s. I have also read from various sources that it was actually John who insisted on Yoko being with him whilst he was at work, of course I don’t actually know for sure but as I have said I have read it was mainly John. Your videos are amazing, please keep them coming! I was six years old when these photos were taken & I had an older brother who use to play his Beatles records with me in his bedroom, that was my introduction to the “Fab Four”, he also took me to see “Yellow Submarine” at our local cinema a while later. As a teen I really got into them & bought many of their albums. Your videos help me to understand their history..Greetings from England 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧
Ive noticed something for a while when looking at George Harrsion over the years. When he is clean shaven, he seems to smile more, and is comical / happy, even in later years. When he had the beard, he often looked to be grumpy / unhappy..........for the most part.
Very interesting! I was 17 back then & was sad that the Beatles were breaking up. Here we are 50 years later & the Beatles are still revered for their short but incredible contribution to music. Best music ever in my opinion!
The Tudor cottage that now stands at Tittenhurst is an exact replica of the original. When the Sheik bought the property, the cottage was in a great state of disrepair, so it was demolished and an exact replica was built and put in its place. Great video! I'd love to see a video of how Tittenhurst has changed since 1988, through its renovations!
Paul only started to have Linda show up occasionally - after John had become "John&Yoko" for 6 months. By the time of this photo shoot (August 22, 1969) Yoko had been attached to John's hip all day, every day - for more than a year. It began with the White Album sessions in the summer of 1968... and had been that way for 15 months.
A proud and kind voice over and a well produced time capsule. Well done documentary, a celebration of thier time as The Beatles being complete and full circle while the future was open and full of many more such adventures.
Wow. Thank you. There was another 15 minutes that I took out because I thought people would want me to pipe down already. I’ll add that 15 minutes to the next Tittenhurst Park video.
If you enjoyed this video, you may also enjoy learning about George Harrison's Friar Park. Kindly check out my documentary. It helps my channel a lot if you can COMMENT, LIKE, and SHARE my videos, so please take the time to do so. I will really appreciate your doing that. Thank you! ua-cam.com/video/rB1TMlKn3Jo/v-deo.htmlsi=c3dp8-MXs55pqBUd
Yes, I agree with you completely. Yoko was not part of the group and should not have been in all those photos. Like any other career, job my wife isn't in my work photos with my colleague's. Granted, I'm not rich & famous like John Lennon. However, I do think Yoko was in too many photo's which annoyed and got in the way of work with the the other guys. It's a fine line, the guys were really close.I get it , they were professional about her presence in many work sessions. I'm sure words were exchanged. Also, John shares responsibility for this too. . It was rude and unprofessional to be in the greatest band in the world and have your wife involved in photo sessions as well as recording sessions. Again, there is a time and place for everything. Thank you Primo
I think there was a lot of contention when Yoko was with John all the time. She was sort of an intruder into their lives at that point. They all look happier together when it was just the 4 of them. I heard Chuck Berry was furious with her contribution to that song.
Interesting that the two extroverted Beatles are still with us while the two introverts are long gone. My husband was an introvert and he died young. Just an observation.
Thank you so much. I have seen a few of these photos and now you put the puzzle together. All taken at Tittenhurst. I am vegan, animal lover and owner.
I worked at tittenhurst park in 1981. Ringo had just sold it. It was a recording studio at the time. The room with the white piano in which the video for ‘imagine’ was shot, is in the house. I remember painting that room. The piano had gone by then. Also there was a full size concrete T rex in the garden. You could walk up the driveway to the house. No security, no gates, nothing. It’s now owned by a rich Arab, and is beyond recognition.
i would love to learn more about their farmhouse up in Franklin, NY! Can you do a video on that location and their interactions with it ? Love your take on John’s life as a Beatles and architecture fan!
Thank you for this, it means everything Tittenhurst is a very special place to me, John Lennon is and always be my favorite , the Beatles all together on his estate, the photos are all fantastic, perfect love everyone,, I do have the book on Tittenhurst, 72 acres, if he and Yoko stayed there what would it be, I Miss John, so many trees , so much privacy, don’t know too much about the belt, the Beatles so amazing , and forever with us, Thank You, Steve
Yoko once said she didn't know who he was when she first met John which I believe she knew exactly who he was, she claimed to be an artist but seemed to spend all her time next to John, she saw her future and the future was bright!
From the clothes they wore i can tell this is when they got the pics taken for the hey jude album. I’m glad to see when it was taken and why they look so different from the abbey road and let it be covers.
Some really great photos….these are why the Hey Jude Album cover has always been one of my favorites. The thing is they all (including Paul at times) look tired, worn out, and bored. They did a lot in the time they were together. Thanks for the video and the pics.
The Beatles played a big in my growing up in the sixties, the production of Sargent peppers was the pinnacle of my love for them.the days where warm and long,with the background of some of the best music ever produced. Regarding yoko ono,well who knows,she obviously played a big part in Lennon's life, and he was so much in love with her, and he was happy with her being around.Its so sad to see the look on Ringos and George harrisons faces, you could see there relationship and friendship was in the decline.The Beatles will live on forever.Tgank you for a very interesting and informative video.
Its incredible how much they changed in just 6 years isnt it - in particular John - you would have never have recognised him from how he looked in 1963 when they became famous
Speaking of the times, both Beatles were wearing cowboy hats and Yoko was wearing an Indian headscarf... one can only imagine them following Clint Eastwood's series of cowboy movies up to 1969.
Brian Epstein's death probably made a bigger difference to the Beatles trajectory going forward than the arrival of Yoko or Linda. Brian was the man who held the business end together. Subsequent managers didn't understand the "boys" like Brian did. They were just in the biz of making the biz more profitable for themselves. I understand why Yoko and Linda were so cherished by their mates, John and Paul. Personal losses of close ones ( both of their mothers died young, for example ) can influence the choice of mates later on. Yoko was an innovative and skilled artist in her own right, for sure, but she also had an anchoring effect on John. Same with Linda and Paul. People change. Events change people. "In My Life" and all. John and Paul did have successful marriages to their partners, in the end, and that matters most of all.
Really? It didn't break up the Rolling Stones and many other bands because they kept their wives and girlfriends out of the business. Sadly, John was a wounded man and OH NO (the manipulative, control-freak, nut case) took advantage of his weakness.
I agree with you regarding the loss of Brian Epstein. That was the beginning of the end of the group, the first nail in the coffin. They were not businessmen. As for Yoko: in my opinion she was a self-promoting manipulative control-freak, devoid of artistic and musical talent. John should've stayed with Cynthia or May Pang. @@jabbermocky4520
They all look as if they would like to be someplace else. A far cry from the photos in 1964. Everyone knows now what was going on musically between them. The end was getting close.
Both John Lennon and Yoko Ono seemed to be very insecure people. Both seemed either oblivious to how their actions affected the group dynamics or didn’t care. On the Get Back documentary she seemed always be there, not contributing just hanging around like a bad smell. Credit to the other Beatles for accepting the situation and trying to get along. Some people think that Yoko Ono was talented but I just can’t see it, her screeching was just that - screeching. Always thought it was ironic how the two preached peace, love and understanding while at the same time were anything but to Cynthia and Julien Lennon.
Ciertamente John y Yoko no eran como una pareja común....y sí, mucho de su comportamiento confronta nuestro concepto de lo que "debería ser", sin embargo fueron geniales, pisitivos y propositivos con su talento indiscutible. ¡Felicidades, excelente material, gracias por compartir!
Strange History X: thanks for posting. In '73 John sold Tittenhurst Park to Ringo. He started Startling Studios there. Judas Priest recorded "British Steel" there and Def Leppard recorded their debut "On Through The Night"(1980) there. Cheers!🥨
@strange history X: I think it was wrong for John to push his wife on everyone. Clearly it annoyed the other Beatles and frankly it was insensitive of him to push her on everyone. It wasn't the only time that he was like that either. John was a genius. No question. The voice of a generation. But he was also a narcissist.
@@stephen8623 "Imagine no possessions" Yeah John, like not having Tittenhurst park. "A brotherhood of men" Yeah, like not writing "How do you sleep?". Although I'm not sure how much of an hypocrite he was, or if simply he was in great deny of his true self (being a narcissist). He could be also very naive.
9:55 Damn, that's a scan I made back in in 1997. It was the first time I ever used a digital scanner. It's crazy that image hasn't been surpassed by a superior version by now. BTW, the source of the image was an issue of The Beatles Monthly book where it was printed sideways across the center pages. You can still see the magazine's "fold"as a horizontal line midway in the scan. I recall being proud that I noticed it was printed in reverse (a.k.a. mirror image) and I used PhotoShop (probably for the first time) to correctly flip it.
14:46 I have an interesting question... What are your thoughts about Yoko Ono appearing in so many promotional photos with The Beatles..? It was bat $hit crazy for John to force her on to the band the way he did. And it was crazy for Yoko to want to be there. None of them wanted her there (except John). Bringing her into the recording studio was way worse than having her around for photos. I have been making the same arguments you make in your video - for decades. Guys... how many of you have your girlfriend or wife go to work with you every day? Ladies... how many of you have your boyfriend or husband tag along with you to work all day, every day..? It was absurdly insane for John to do that to the other 3 Beatles. They all hated it. And in the end.... John, Paul & George all have made statements saying that it was John choosing Yoko over the group... that really ended the group.
Hi from Liverpool, most of us here agree that she ruined the Beatles, but John couldn't see what a bad influence she was on him. Once she got her claws in,it was to late, he would 100% still be alive now if she never showed up,as we say in Liverpool, he should have binned her.
Thank you for sharing. Great pictures.-I’ve been in a lot of bands I am a musician mainly the drummer. I always tell people being in a band is like being married you have to put up with everybody’s stuff.-I never liked when my friends would bring their wives in and just sit there gloaming face it would bring the morale down Yoko never rocked out never had fun in the studios, didn’t understand music. It was not her music I think that she should’ve never been inside the studio and that was always a beetle rule. John broke the rules and messed up the morale inside the studio and you can see Chuck Berry’s face when he heard Yoko sing. Well we don’t call it that but you know what I mean.❤
Yoko had a plan from the beginning. She claimed not to know anything about the Beatles and John fell for that, thinking it was cool. I think she thought manipulating John would make her famous and it did, but not for her silly excuses for art .crazy ideas or singing. Just because she got John to bring her everywhere with him and annoy the others. In fact John's insistence on hiring Allen Klein was due to a promise Klein made to give Yoko's so called art an exhibition.
Yeah she was a manipulative psychopath that ran a cynical con on John, and he was unfortunately naive enough to be taken in by it. He was incredibly susceptible to being manipulated with several famous examples, a real liability.
She even tried with McCartney at first, but he didn't response and so she went for Lennon, acting like a real stalker for months. Many fans are still in deny, like "oh they were a beautiful couple", but history is getting clearer and clearer now. It's obvious (even on these photo shoots) she wanted her piece of the Beatle cake. She acted awfull with John's first wife and son. I can't see how anyone could consider her as a nice person with all the available information now.
There was actually one further photo session, around the next month, September 1969 when they were signing new record contracts. George Harrison unfortunately was missing because his mother was in the hospital with cancer. But three of the Beatles are in the photos and this is where John Lennon announced that he was leaving the group as well
George mentions "Weeping Atlas Seaders" in his song 'Beware of Darkness" on his "All things must pass" album. I wonder if this is what hes refering to? 🤔🤔

Am always amazed how many photos there are of the Beatles that, after over half a century, are still just coming to light...
Yoko is odd
Chuck berry was furious
@@susancolvin101more then odd
I always find footage of Tittenhurst very moving, and ponder how different things would be if John had simply stayed living there.
Yep. I had another 15 minutes to the video where I talk about that. I should probably share it. It's an interesting conversation that I think a lot of people wonder about.
@@StrangeHistoryXI would see definitely be interested in that discussion.
He would be 83 nearly if he hadn't moved to New York. Again, Yoko's influence led him to his death.
AND..."imagine" if John had never met looney-tune OH NO, walked away from his wife and child, and became a preachy hypocrite !!!
I always felt that had he stayed around he would have probably had a very strange Glam Rock phase, he he probably would have been drawn to Elton and Bowie much earlier than he had, and been around Bolan and the likes, so rather than a his political phase, he would have had a glam rock phase
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your kind support. I appreciate it.
I think George looked stunning!!!
I wince every time I see an image of Yoko Ono with The Beatles.
I also love the photoshoot they did together for The Ballad Of John And Yoko picture sleeve
When you look at the photos it appears George is not happy. Shows his feelings as the Beatles were on the verge of breaking up
John and Yoko, and Paul and Linda, were ahead of their time. Now a lot of us work with our spouse. It’s very common now.
Makes me sad every time I see these photos. It was the end and you can see it on their faces. Especially John and George...they knew it was over. And, no, Yoko was not a Beatle and it’s a shame John didn’t see what a disruption she was.
Agreed! John picked the worst thing to happen to him: Evil Yoko
@@applesnicolle5144 There is too much hate for Yoko.They fell in love.
I honestly believe John did know how much of a disruption she was and didn’t really care as he wanted out of the band to be one with Yoko .
@@jamesmanon3000 it doesn't/didn't seem like love to me but control & obsession between 2 needy people. Obsession can feel like love to "starving for love" people. Yoko didn't belong in the band sessions or in these photo shoots. Her energy alone was very heavy, and it disrupted the other 3 band members that DID belong there and in the recording & photo sessions. She was out of line and so was John for forcing the situation to include her (if in fact that is how it happened...or did she just push her way into being there???)!

This was the last day that all four Beatles would be together at the same time.
I'd be very sad if I had access to shoot the Beatles and the best photos I could capture were these..thanks for sharing what we have
The Beatles made my childhood bearable.
That look on Chuck Berry’s face says it all about how annoying everyone found Yoko Ono 😂
The Tudor cottage that now stands at Tittenhurst is an exact replica of the original. When the Sheik bought the property, the cottage was in a great state of disrepair, so it was demolished and an exact replica was built and put in its place.
Great video! I'd love to see a video of how Tittenhurst has changed since 1988, through its renovations!

Ah, yes. Unsurprising demolition, given the cottage's 1600s 'pedigree'.

If you mean the Mike Douglas show, if you watch carefully someone mercifully cut her mic near the end of the song. It’s hilarious.
It's cool to see videos of the photo shoot and the many pictures along with the layout and history of the place
Linda was really good looking! ❤
My opinion on Yoko is that she had a scream that broke even the sound barrier!😳😳😳😳
Always wanted to see more images from this photo shoot. Thanks very much.
Wistful feelings washing over as I watch these pictures. As George sang, "All those years ago....."
Yoko. Talented.
These are words that 'don't go together well.
Talented at getting rich, anyway.
And dodging bullets as well.@@shuroom57

The greatest band of all time
John appears to be wearing an ammunition belt, perhaps from Morocco or Afghanistan, from which many shops in London sold ethnic products at the time.
I really enjoyed the information about the trees.

TRES Cool
Yoko once said she didn't know who he was when she first met John which I believe she knew exactly who he was, she claimed to be an artist but seemed to spend all her time next to John, she saw her future and the future was bright!
Like Megs claiming she knew nothing abt the royal family, when the childhood friends revealed she'd been obsessed with Princess Diana!
23:34 George is standing in the next county over! Now that's some body language right there.
Great picture beatles wewww galing ng porma ambell ang pantalon
From the clothes they wore i can tell this is when they got the pics taken for the hey jude album. I’m glad to see when it was taken and why they look so different from the abbey road and let it be covers.
I have to say they all look like they’re feeling awkward being around each other. Makes sense they were in the process of breaking up.
Yoko was Johns handler, she was in total control of him for the most part!!
yes !!
You forget that George had a studio at home. Even at Kinfauns. They used his equipment at the Apple Studio that the Get Back sessions were recorded
Lennon bought Tittenhurst because it reminded him of Calderstones House that is situated in Calderstones Park.
I did a video about that. Beautiful building and history.
Wunderbar und danke!
Some really great photos….these are why the Hey Jude Album cover has always been one of my favorites. The thing is they all (including Paul at times) look tired, worn out, and bored. They did a lot in the time they were together. Thanks for the video and the pics.
That's Beatles for sale 😮
The Beatles played a big in my growing up in the sixties, the production of Sargent peppers was the pinnacle of my love for them.the days where warm and long,with the background of some of the best music ever produced. Regarding yoko ono,well who knows,she obviously played a big part in Lennon's life, and he was so much in love with her, and he was happy with her being around.Its so sad to see the look on Ringos and George harrisons faces, you could see there relationship and friendship was in the decline.The Beatles will live on forever.Tgank you for a very interesting and informative video.
When you look up no self awareness in the dictionary, you see Yoko's picture.
Photos from this shoot always fascinated me as a kid in the 1970s. From moptops to this, especially Lennon. They also all looked cool, even Ringo.
Ringo IS the cool Beatle.
Even Ringo - 💍🤩🚂
Even Ringo? Especially Ringo!
Only 5 years time difference. Remarkable transformations in their music and personal style.
If not ESPECIALLY Ringo. Always his own man.
They look fed up, odd smiles but there’s not a lot of obvious warmth going on.
They really were trying to look like The Band at this point, i.e. the Big Pink cover. RIP Robbie Robertson.
Its incredible how much they changed in just 6 years isnt it - in particular John - you would have never have recognised him from how he looked in 1963 when they became famous
George's song Beware of Darkness also mentions Weeping Atlas Cedars in last verse. I never knew it was talking about trees. Interesting bit of trivia.
I am glad you learned something new. That's really cool.
Great documentary and classic photos ! We all love The Beatles and their music is eternal! Thankyou !! 👏❤️💎💎💎💎
Speaking of the times, both Beatles were wearing cowboy hats and Yoko was wearing an Indian headscarf... one can only imagine them following Clint Eastwood's series of cowboy movies up to 1969.
Low on smiles!
These were really great photos...they looked really cool when the hair and beards arrived and got longer
Thank you so much for creating and uploading this😮
It's my pleasure
Ringo was the oldest, but looked just as young and In good health and the rest of them even till this day.
The arrival of Yoko Ono and the other Beatles' partners changed the dynamic of the band, making their breakup inevitable.
Brian Epstein's death probably made a bigger difference to the Beatles trajectory going forward than the arrival of Yoko or Linda. Brian was the man who held the business end together. Subsequent managers didn't understand the "boys" like Brian did. They were just in the biz of making the biz more profitable for themselves. I understand why Yoko and Linda were so cherished by their mates, John and Paul. Personal losses of close ones ( both of their mothers died young, for example ) can influence the choice of mates later on. Yoko was an innovative and skilled artist in her own right, for sure, but she also had an anchoring effect on John. Same with Linda and Paul. People change. Events change people. "In My Life" and all. John and Paul did have successful marriages to their partners, in the end, and that matters most of all.
Really? It didn't break up the Rolling Stones and many other bands because they kept their wives and girlfriends out of the business. Sadly, John was a wounded man and OH NO (the manipulative, control-freak, nut case) took advantage of his weakness.
I agree with you regarding the loss of Brian Epstein. That was the beginning of the end of the group, the first nail in the coffin. They were not businessmen.
As for Yoko: in my opinion she was a self-promoting manipulative control-freak, devoid of artistic and musical talent. John should've stayed with Cynthia or May Pang. @@jabbermocky4520
John was SIMPING and couldn't tell OHNO to keep her place, and yes Lennon was rude in forcing her into his mates
They all look as if they would like to be someplace else. A far cry from the photos in 1964. Everyone knows now what was going on musically between them. The end was getting close.
Both John Lennon and Yoko Ono seemed to be very insecure people. Both seemed either oblivious to how their actions affected the group dynamics or didn’t care.
On the Get Back documentary she seemed always be there, not contributing just hanging around like a bad smell.
Credit to the other Beatles for accepting the situation and trying to get along.
Some people think that Yoko Ono was talented but I just can’t see it, her screeching was just that - screeching.
Always thought it was ironic how the two preached peace, love and understanding while at the same time were anything but to Cynthia and Julien Lennon.
Ciertamente John y Yoko no eran como una pareja común....y sí, mucho de su comportamiento confronta nuestro concepto de lo que "debería ser", sin embargo fueron geniales, pisitivos y propositivos con su talento indiscutible.
¡Felicidades, excelente material, gracias por compartir!
Strange History X: thanks for posting. In '73 John sold Tittenhurst Park to Ringo. He started Startling Studios there. Judas Priest recorded "British Steel" there and Def Leppard recorded their debut "On Through The Night"(1980) there. Cheers!🥨
Black Sabbath also recorded Mob Rules there
❤ Thank you for this. I ❤️ the floor plans. My favorite photo of them is on the WWWay.
Great photos of my favorit band!
The "sore nipples" happens to newly-nursing mothers. A common experience among many mothers of newborns.
@strange history X: I think it was wrong for John to push his wife on everyone. Clearly it annoyed the other Beatles and frankly it was insensitive of him to push her on everyone. It wasn't the only time that he was like that either. John was a genius. No question. The voice of a generation. But he was also a narcissist.
Agreed. John was also a preachy hypocrite. His hypocrisy was clearly evident in the totally stupid lyrics of his song "imagine."
@@stephen8623 "Imagine no possessions" Yeah John, like not having Tittenhurst park. "A brotherhood of men" Yeah, like not writing "How do you sleep?". Although I'm not sure how much of an hypocrite he was, or if simply he was in great deny of his true self (being a narcissist). He could be also very naive.
Every "body" is Narcissus.
"🎶 Imagine no possessions...... 🎶"
“Working class hero” 🤣
Two thoughts.
1. I've always loved photos from this session.
2. I'm throwing a party when Yoko finally croaks.
9:55 Damn, that's a scan I made back in in 1997. It was the first time I ever used a digital scanner. It's crazy that image hasn't been surpassed by a superior version by now. BTW, the source of the image was an issue of The Beatles Monthly book where it was printed sideways across the center pages. You can still see the magazine's "fold"as a horizontal line midway in the scan. I recall being proud that I noticed it was printed in reverse (a.k.a. mirror image) and I used PhotoShop (probably for the first time) to correctly flip it.
Very cool! I've searched everywhere and that's the best image that can be found anywhere online. Can you scan it again? Got any others? :)
Love this...thank you.✌️
14:46 I have an interesting question... What are your thoughts about Yoko Ono appearing in so many promotional photos with The Beatles..?
It was bat $hit crazy for John to force her on to the band the way he did. And it was crazy for Yoko to want to be there.
None of them wanted her there (except John). Bringing her into the recording studio was way worse than having her around for photos.
I have been making the same arguments you make in your video - for decades. Guys... how many of you have your girlfriend or wife go to work with you every day? Ladies... how many of you have your boyfriend or husband tag along with you to work all day, every day..? It was absurdly insane for John to do that to the other 3 Beatles. They all hated it.
And in the end.... John, Paul & George all have made statements saying that it was John choosing Yoko over the group... that really ended the group.
Hi from Liverpool, most of us here agree that she ruined the Beatles, but John couldn't see what a bad influence she was on him. Once she got her claws in,it was to late, he would 100% still be alive now if she never showed up,as we say in Liverpool, he should have binned her.
@@terryhorne2582 Well said, Terry, you're absolutely right.
Yoko didn't fit into the picture and pictures, not at all.
Some great photos I’ve never seen before from that day.
Yoko didnt respect boundaries
some say yoko was ensuring the other beatles could not slip a word to John about her possible ulterior intentions.
There is a lot of sadness in their eyes by this time. That's clear to see.
Thank you.Wonderful presentation.
Excellent video!👍🏻
Thank you for sharing. Great pictures.-I’ve been in a lot of bands I am a musician mainly the drummer. I always tell people being in a band is like being married you have to put up with everybody’s stuff.-I never liked when my friends would bring their wives in and just sit there gloaming face it would bring the morale down Yoko never rocked out never had fun in the studios, didn’t understand music. It was not her music I think that she should’ve never been inside the studio and that was always a beetle rule. John broke the rules and messed up the morale inside the studio and you can see Chuck Berry’s face when he heard Yoko sing. Well we don’t call it that but you know what I mean.❤
Yoko had a plan from the beginning. She claimed not to know anything about the Beatles and John fell for that, thinking it was cool. I think she thought manipulating John would make her famous and it did, but not for her silly excuses for art .crazy ideas or singing. Just because she got John to bring her everywhere with him and annoy the others. In fact John's insistence on hiring Allen Klein was due to a promise Klein made to give Yoko's so called art an exhibition.
Yeah she was a manipulative psychopath that ran a cynical con on John, and he was unfortunately naive enough to be taken in by it. He was incredibly susceptible to being manipulated with several famous examples, a real liability.
She even tried with McCartney at first, but he didn't response and so she went for Lennon, acting like a real stalker for months. Many fans are still in deny, like "oh they were a beautiful couple", but history is getting clearer and clearer now. It's obvious (even on these photo shoots) she wanted her piece of the Beatle cake. She acted awfull with John's first wife and son. I can't see how anyone could consider her as a nice person with all the available information now.
Excellent video and brilliant channel, lobe it! ❤
There was actually one further photo session, around the next month, September 1969 when they were signing new record contracts. George Harrison unfortunately was missing because his mother was in the hospital with cancer. But three of the Beatles are in the photos and this is where John Lennon announced that he was leaving the group as well
That's great Beatle trivia! Thank you!
You can see the pics in the book "One Day at a Time" by Anthony Fawcett
Fantastic documentary
George mentions "Weeping Atlas Seaders" in his song 'Beware of Darkness" on his "All things must pass" album. I wonder if this is what hes refering to? 🤔🤔
"Weeping atlas cedars" i think.
Really rare pictures in here...Love the video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
John was obsessed i believe. Odd but there it is. His band, his rules maybe
Dear Beatles a wonderful estate John had for all to share and make nice music.
My thoughts on Yoko being in so many pictures of the Beatles, antagonizing. I'm surprised she wasn't in the Abby Road crosswalk photo.
