- Even before the Beatles broke up in 1970, there was considerable interest in telling their story. Hunter Davies published in 1968 the first authorized biography of the band, written with the full cooperation of the Beatles but with a series of restrictions: he was forbidden to talk about drugs, Brian Epstein's homosexuality or the Beatles' stories with groupies during their touring years. Once the group was split up, a great number of formats such as magazines, books, documentaries, fiction films and even musicals tried to tell the band's story, but in search of an official version since 1970 Neil Aspinall, a personal friend of the band and director of apple corps, formalized his attempt to launch a documentary of the beatles. For years he had collected concert footage, interviews and television appearances of the beatles from around the world, and with a gigantic archive behind him he began work on "The Long and Winding Road".
If you are a serious Beatles fan, Now and Then really pulls at the heart strings. Wow what a song, what a beautiful farewell by the worlds greatest and most beloved band! Thank you for Now and Then!😘
So true John was and still is my fave ❤
Did you get goosebumps when you first heard his voice crystal clear at the start of the song?@@moirapicking1876
Yes, I agree. I also really enjoyed listening to the UA-cam sites that show the Now and Then song deconstructed, so you can hear all of the single elements that were blended together. John's vocals with nothing behind it, it's been extracted and enhanced, with new digitizing by Giles Martin and with the aid of Peter Jackson's new production equipment, that was used in the Get Back documentary - it's just amazing to listen to John Lennon's voice separated from the rest. The young Orchestra string players that were directed by Giles Martin and Paul McCartney, really sounds beautiful when you hear these strings in a separate extracted element; it sounds like parts of Eleanor Rigby or other past string arrangements that were employed behind some of the earlier Beatle songs of the mid-to-late 1960's.
I'd also like to know if any others are aware of the tape deck they show the hand placing the original John Lennon tape into in these documentaries, about making the new Now and Then song. I don't know that anybody really pays attention to it, but I happen to own that same cassette recorder-player that I bought new in early 1975. It's known as a 3M Wollensack 4765, or 4766 model. [There were several other models that had similar numbers 4755, 4765, 4766, 4770, etc., as they kept improving it.
It appeared as a beautiful professional studio-like soundboard, with attractive-looking lighted VU meters on top. The control knobs and levers, or flipped aluminum toggle sticks also look like professional sound equipment. I've kept it stored away for years but now I can't find it. You can actually Google search my description of it above with the brand name and model number, you'll see images of it come up.
I believe they're indicating in the film that this is the same cassette recorder l-player that John Lennon must have used. [Although his in the film looks like a slightly older maybe a year or two older or a year or two newer than my model.]
Thanks for any info of others may discover why they show this particular 3M Wollensack cassette recorder.
Even though they cut the bridge
Disagree entirely. Free as a bird and real love were far superior.
You put this video and the 12-minute documentary together, you have a killer great documentary, fabulous job on this, the best video made on the subject!!!
yes. His is better than the official one the Beatles did that was like 12 minutes long
How great would it be if we get an expanded edition of the Anthology albums and series in 2025?
They can make like an extra chapter that highlights the recording of Real Love and Now and Then (and other stuff that was part of the bonus disc).
Another chapter can be made that shows Beatles related stuff from the past 30 years since Anthology came out, like the LOVE show from Cirque de Soleil, The Beatles: Rock Band game and the Get Back series.
I'm glad they had footage of Paul, George & Ringo in 1995 for Now & Then & the doco is very informative & heartfelt & John's voice coming thru those speakers, so ethereal. This last song deserves many accolades coz of the myriad of time spent to finish it & now it's done it's been viewed & bought by millions. Long live The Beatles.❤️🎸
"I AND THE THREE OTHER FORMER BEATLES HAVE PLANS TO STAGE A REUNION CONCERT"
Sadly, these words will be etched in my memory forever.
We can be sure now that the reunion WOULD have happened, one day.
To hear John's Voice on Now and Then was emotional.
Also George's acoustic and his passing as well pulls heart strings. ❤️
The Beatles still set the Bar.
I have the 90’s era tv documentary Anthology on DVD, and I’ve always loved it. I can’t understand why it isn’t available to stream anywhere. I don’t know who has the rights to it, but please make it available for streaming. 🙏
It's a tragedy that John died how and when he did. Really sad.
The remaininng living Beatles turned lemons into lemonade in finishing those songs. Imagine all those songs we'll never hear that John would've written. R.I.P.
Watch the documentary: 'The U.S v.s John Lennon'.
And the ''USA'' had him murdered
The John demos were great ,,the Beatles just made them sound a bit better,, but his demos are just a s beautiful...
@@knockedoutloaded279 Agree!
There is a lot of indication that when the Beatles broke up, John and Paul didn't leave on the best of terms, so it's a pretty interesting story that John wrote Now and Then because of regret on how things ended up with Paul, and later Paul wanted to finish the song because of he felt the same
In the 70s they talked and visited each other, but not perform together though. Their story was not the easy one. They all had to forgive each other & go on. And in the end, it is glorious that they still loved each other after all these years and everything they went through
6:40. George, clean shaven and hair much shorter than it was in the Free As A Bird video, which suggests how long it took them to finally get back
The beautiful background story the Beatles Anthology is more interesting than expected: not many know or considered that the project was mainly created by footage and audio material donated by Beatles fans! Starting from the Quarrymen recording of the Fete concert, to the Love Me Do acetate with Pete Best found on George Martin's attic!
What's weird of the "new songs" is that they were bootlegged long time before the Anthology. Real Love for example was the closing track of the documentary Imagine from 1989, and the demo appears in the soundtrack too.
3:05 Pain 💔
Now would be a good time to revisit Free as a bird and real love using the AI technology like how it was done with Now and Then.
Absolutely since we have the technology... Start with the original cassette like Now and Then... Then get the recorded master of both Free as a Bird and Real Love separate all the tracks out and then put them back together I think both would sound great.
I born in Liverpool in 1967 I grew up on the Wirral I'll never forget the morning in December 1980 when the news broke of John Lennon's Murder it was school day I went to private boys school nr Chester and everyone was shocked including the teachers believe it or not. But what I didn't know is that John was coming home to to try and reform The Beatles, I knew he and Yoko had bought a home in Caldy on the Wirral and were planning to relocate there he'd had enough of being followed by the security forces in the US. Just think how good the new music would of been ??????
Great job
Love the Beatles❤ Best Band Ever.✝️☮️
Great video and in depth knowledge. You have an excellent speaking voice too 👏🏻
Very nice! Thank you for this!!❤
That was wonderful
Excellent loved this ❤
John agreed to this just befo he dies,,and a reunion concert/show was v likely.........
Exellent informanent documentary,thankyou.
great job wonderful 😊
A Beatles Reunion would be great 👍
❤❤❤❤
You should do one of these but you have to guess the next line of lyrics
Dare I say this, but towards the end of the 60's I think that Paul McCartney became the group's strongest songwriter. However the John Lennon songs 'Across The Universe', 'Revolution' and 'Come Together' show strong songwriting ability.
btw the white piano was brought by George Michael and in secret with the rest of the world finding out until after his death is now at the Strawberry Field exhibition
Este es el canal de la Hemeroteca?
Hope all for love exists...
THE BEATLES Story never really got an END!! there is always something new something we never knew always a fan digs up something or a old dusty tape comes back to Life there is always something NEW!! its called BACK TO THE FUTURE.....
Pete Best was a huge influence
Por qué el contenido es el mismo que el del canal la "Hemeroteca"?
Jeez. Not a comment about George's death except for words on the screen? :(
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎👍🏼
Free is a bird is brilliant..i hope they imp sound 2024
Now and Then on Argyle soundtrack
3:16......why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😢
Hope All for Love exists...
Did you ask Pink Floyd for permission to include this song in this ad?
Anthology reunion dvd 2025
*Wouldn't this be the shiznit?* ''IF''.............George Harrison's son and John Lennon's son teamed up with Ringo and Paul for one world-wide-tour in 2024?
🤨
🥱
I mean, it'd be nice, but it wouldn't be the same. But I feel it'd be a nice tribute.
As far as I’m concerned there will be no Beatles reunion as long as John’s dead.
Not sure why you include George Harrison as a surviving Beatle in your thumbnail. He died over twenty years ago.
Or he said to himself, tomorrow may rain so i'll follow The Son.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what!
"Now and then" is not even good" here and there".
really sucs......should have given to jeff lynne.....real sad this is it....last one with shitty art design on top of the lifeless disc
Money man McCartney. If there’s way to exploit someone or something he will be the first in line..
Spoken like a truly envious person. You sound jealous.
Hater.
Disagree. McCartney does NOT need the money. What he NEEDS is for John to still be alive. 😢
You really think this is their last hoorah? Nope, it's a cash cow!
There is no music in this video, just a talking head.
Omg the hype around this none-song. Don't get me wrong, I love The Beatles, when they were The beatles, which came to an end i 1970. I still enjoy their music, but this is not a song I will remember or even listen to. To me this is just plain boring "music".
OK Boomer
We're all lucky to get any new Beatle song at all in 2023.
@@bobbystereo936 Just enjoy, personally I could not care less.
80 Something year old Beatles?
I am very glad that the last three Beatles songs were John's and they all came together to make them
