The most surprising thing was that over a dozen people, who didn't know each other, played in perfect time. This also thanks the "granpa" drummer who rocks better than many young people 👍
@@Professorkenneth wonderful to be able to see the videos of the vigil for John on the 8th. Hard to believe its 43 years. All that talent and integrity wiped out by a gratuitous act of violence.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The song, the setting, the situation sad as it is, and the people. Thank you for this. Love from Ireland. John's not gone - forgive me my trespasses into cliché territory - when people get together and listen to The Beatles and John's work, or do so on their own. Love to all those who read this.
John , como tantos otros músicos seguirá vivo en cada un de nosotros al escuchar sus canciones . Y su legado , continuará transmitiendo de generación en generación 😢
It's so heartwarming to see all of you lovely people who turn up in New York for John Lennon and just watching how much love there is for John and the Beatles and for each other. Thank You So Much. All You Need Is Love from the UK 👏✌️🙏♥️
When I first heard the release of Now & Then, it reminded me of what was said to be John Lennon's last words to Paul McCartney during a visit to the Dakota Apartments - "Think about me every now and then old friend..." 🎸
This is beautiful,blacks and whites and almost every nationally paying tribute to JOHN LENNON singing his "new" song at strawberry fields memorial park.John would've been proud somewhere,he is smiling brardly❤.
I am so glad that New Yorker's still come together to celebrate John at his public memorial. If you have never been to Strawberry Fields in Central Park, go. It is a small but beautiful place where John's spirit hangs out, most likely.
@@Resgerr I have a friend from Liverpool. I hope to get there at some point. If it wasn't for the Fab Four, I wouldn't be a singer-songwriter, recording artist today. Thanks for your response! Take care.
i'm a newer fan, only 24 years old myself. Now And Then was of mythical status only a few years ago, something people would say in hushed whispers... "they tried it in the 90s and gave up" or "Paul wants to finish it someday" was the full extent of information we had on the song for so long, and it is CRAZY to me, sitting here right now, to think this is a new bona fide Beatles classic. Bravo!
The only thing that held Now and Then up was back in the 90’s the technology necessary to separate the piano from John’s voice. Didn’t really help that George called Now and Then rubbish because of that reason. Had George still been alive when they actually finished the song he probably would have continued working on it with McCartney, and Ringo.
OMG!!!! NYC holding it down on December 8th, 2023!!! Thank you. MY HOMETOWN. ALWAYS in my HEART. I'm in Florida right now but used to go every year on John's Bday and day of his passing. I know what it feels like to be there in person. All walks of life, all ages - so gorgeous!!!!! Thank you!!!
Yes, I remember that night now more than 43 years ago, when my sister had her boyfriend drive all of us to the Dakota Apartments. Just hours after the news broke, I could not believe the amount of people the had gathered, remaining through the night. In all these years later it's so amazing how the love, presence and memories of John Lennon are always with us. Strawberry Field Forever 🕊
What a wonderful resurrection of the Beatles this song is and it is John's song, the first of the Beatles to go... and now to come back. And what a tribute to him that he is remembered every year at Strawberry Fields in Central Park. What a tribute to the Beatles: they are still a part of us and they still can produce a song that is sooo Beatles.
Wow, thank you everyone! I had so many vibes from all the ‘eras’ of Beatles! So happy this is recorded somewhere, it truly made my day and isn’t that what it’s all been about since they started calling themselves ‘The Beatles’?
Oui, quelle nostalgie.... Je me souviens, quà l'instant même, ou une radio annonçait, à grand renfort de pubs et d'excitation, qu'elle allait nous faire écouter un nouvel album des Beatles, mon cœur se mettait à battre la chamade. Je pourrais comparer ce moment, à un premier rendez-vous avec une petite amie dont vous follement amoureux. Je n'avais jamais connu ce sentiment pour des musiciens ou tout autres artistes. Et bien sûr, je n'ai jamais plus ressenti une telle sensation après la séparation des Beatles.
Fantastické, fantastické, fantastické a ještě jednou fantastické!!!👏👏👏👏💓💓 Miluji tuto písničku, zpíváte jí úžasně, měla jsem slzy V očích 🥹🥹 Včera jsem celý den myslela na Johna😭🕯️💓ách jo, škoda že jsem tam nemohla být s vámi,ale jsem až z České republiky, ách jo..🥹🥹
Sending out a big hug to everyone there....beautiful rendition....everyone singing along, The boys would be proud....I actually have begun playing the song without choking up, after watching this, the tears are back..tears of joy, sadness, and thankfulness...God Bless...
Emotional. I'm from Liverpool so I've been to lots of places The Beatles played. My Dad used to see them all the time. Been the Cavern dozens of times. But I visited Strawberry Fields in Central Park and cried like a baby
Great tribute. I was there on october 9th 2020 during the peak in the covid 19 surge, the weather was sunny warm and 65 degrees. There was a smaller crowd than the one in the video, John lennon's songs were sung, people gathered closely together. I could feel the presence the kind loving down to earth spirit of John lennon.
A big thankyou to all you talented musicians paying such a fantastic tribute to John. I applaud you all👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Your version of Now And Then was spot on. Much love from The Costa Blanca Spain 💃🏼🇪🇦😘Happy Christmas To You All.🧑🏻🎄🎄🧑🏻🎄🎄🎶🎵🎼🎤🎸
Deeply moving and really together performance of this hauntingly beautiful song...the camera catching John's lookalike towards the end really threw me. Oh, how we could use John Winston Lennon's perspective today...🙏💌
Thanks so very much for your kind words throughout, good sir! Definitely striving to bring something worthwhile to gatherings such as this. Hope we get to meet in person some day; cheers until then!
I went to Strawberry Fields about 10 yrs ago on what have been John Lennon’s 73rd bday. It was a beautiful autumn day & it was much like this w/ buskers playing Beatle’s songs & artists selling their Fab Four -related artwork. ( I bought a watercolor portrait of John which I framed & still have) Just a really nice tribute 👍🎸
Support? Buy me a coffee

Great tribute by the man who looks like John
This Beatles song feels like it’s been around forever. Incredible.
Молодцы!!! Браво!!!
It has been, in bootleg form
@@subg8858 Приятно было видеть счастливых и добрых людей. Песня Джона стала народной. г.Москва Алексей.
@@subg8858but not a Beatles one, a demo bootleg by John.
Así es. Lo cierto es que es una composición perfecta
John must be happy because everyone is singing together.Beautiful Tribute!!!
You can see him in the background in the minute 3:42.
I bet he's happy. Almost half a century away from that horrible self serving overbearing control freak woman . 😒🙄😤
He totally is ☮🎶
Why? John hated the others for quite a while.
@@Alefjj Doesn't look like someone in their 80's....sorry, I mean't dead.
For those who want a live version of Now And Then. Here it is. Wonderful!
They did an excellent job! I have listened to it several times!
The most surprising thing was that over a dozen people, who didn't know each other, played in perfect time. This also thanks the "granpa" drummer who rocks better than many young people 👍
John is loving this, somewhere…!
@@CaberTosser-ki6qx no he wouldn't baci x
Yes they did

What a tremendous performance at strawberry field in NYC. Its awesome to see how people can come together on this anniversary. 😊
aha i see what you did there
Every now and then, a thing happens. This is one of those things.
Yoko moved to a farm 😂
Very clever
This put a lump in my throat. Beautifully done. John would be very proud.
I'm sure he would!
@@thebeatlesnyc Especially as he's standing to the left of screen in the crowd!😅😘🤗😇
Thats Javier!@@manifestingbeautifullife2187
John wouldn’t have believed his ears had someone from the future told him there’d one day be a big NYC singalong of his little demo scrap. Brilliant!
Imagine that! No way he would believe it.
43 years later. Incredible
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The song, the setting, the situation sad as it is, and the people. Thank you for this. Love from Ireland. John's not gone - forgive me my trespasses into cliché territory - when people get together and listen to The Beatles and John's work, or do so on their own.

Much love to you Ireland from the desert SW US ❤
Even on this tragic nite , 43 yrs. ago there is Love , Peace to All ! Comfort to the Lennon Family . 💙
It's so heartwarming to see all of you lovely people who turn up in New York for John Lennon and just watching how much love there is for John and the Beatles and for each other.

Now And Thenがもう皆さんで演奏されているのに感動しております。１９７８年の作品のが、４５年の時を経て蘇ってファン一同で歌えるなんて、夢のようです。

I agree! A beautiful and magical place. I'm sure his spirit is around.
Been to the original one in Liverpool 😊, when the original gates where on. I'm enjoying this, thanks from a Scouser

No one did beautiful chord changes like John Lennon. He just takes you to a better place, every time.
This chord progression is a well know melancholy walk, its been around the block. Sadly sweet paced piece. Peace
Thanks for your tribute to John! He is allways there, because he is in our Heart! ❤
A true legend.
You guys almost made me cry! Wonderful.
Not almost ❤

I sadly missed the 2 tributes from 2020. I'm glad you had a great time! Lennon's spirit is definitely around that place.
Great job filming Alvaro! Ty.
Thanks Eric!
