Leaving us with Abbey Road and Let It Be was a great way to go out. At their best and leaving fans wanting more. The break up gave us some really good stuff as well from their solo projects but everyone including themselves knew nothing could ever touch The Beatles. They did however give us a lot in that decade. Few bands even last that long. Very special. It had to be hard for any of them to walk away from the most successful rock band ever.
Yup but there was one more session after which featured a Beatle! April 1st or 2nd, Phil Spector recorded his lavish orchestral overdubs with Ringo on drums. Kind of weird and cool that Starr was the last one to be involved with a Beatles session.
@@gretschviking Ringo seems the only one who would have been fine going on granted I think Paul wanted too but business crap got in the way. We know John and George were really wanting to do their own thing and felt Paul was kinda taking over.. which he reluctantly was by the end.
Yoko really changed john. 1964/65 john is a completely different person. They dont even look like the same person. Just try to imagine (lol) 1965 john lennon doing 1969 john shenanigans. Cant picture it
Imagine finally getting the Beatles in your grasp and they break up. But Paul was right about Klein. Even the others admitted it. And Clapton wasn't going to hang around with that nonsense long
Oh yeah... Klein must have been wigging out but it was too late. John was long done and Paul wasn't about signing the deal granted I do feel Paul would have never been the one to break up the band. Heck, all other 3 had walked out one time or another but Paul never did. He just announced it when he realized it was really over.
Somebody else probably already mentioned that the Plastic Ono Band performance in Canada was in Toronto not Montreal, but also I just watched a film about it for the first time a week or so ago. The film is called "Revival 69: The Concert That Rocked the World", it's excellent. Overall, very good clip here friend, thanks. 🤘🎶
In 1969, John Lennon realised that he, and The Beatles, were public property and therefore, rather than continue being viewed and perceived as they were presented by their corporate business structures, HE would present himself as HE saw fit… You could say that Yoko influenced him in all this but, as time goes by, it becomes apparent that he used her presence as a shield as much as she used his presence as a way of becoming famous… Marriage is as marriage does? You know it ain’t easy…
Who's gear is in the background ? I'm curious about the Yellow or Tweed Cabinet in the bottom right corner. Looks like it has an opening on the top like a Vibratone but it's too short to be one unless it was modified or something else
John did too much LSD... been there... but I at least didn't turn to heroin or Oh No. Plastic Oh No Band in T.O. was comical... and then sad. We all just sat there with our jaws-a-hanging (Clapton included)
That is true but by the end Paul had reluctantly taken control as is displayed in the recent documentary. I for one feel the break up was a good thing as if any members stayed in just for the money or fans the music could have suffered. But they left us with Abbey Road and Let It Be.. not too shabby and then onto very successful solo projects.
Yes, Paul was the one to announce it but John was the one who ended it. Heck he has been quoted saying he was done with the whole Beatles thing by the White Album but Paul held it together. We still got great stuff but we did with their solo stuff too.

I like this dudes stern delivery. He could sing "octopus garden" and it would hit like "I want you/She's so heavy"
After John quit, the other 3 guys reunited in Jan 1970 to record the Song I Me Mine at Abbey Road. That was the very last Beatles recording session.

I should say after Epstein's death Paul really became the driving force even though it was technically always Johns band.
So John, resenting Paul, quit and let Yoko take over.

whem you live in the spotlight, changes happen in weeks and months.

John wanted peace and quiet for the wedding but for the honeymoon he wanted the press....
He gave peace a chance.

Did i say Montreal? i meant Toronto. Ah well
In 1969, John Lennon realised
that he, and The Beatles,
were public property
and therefore,
rather than continue being viewed and perceived as they were presented by their corporate business structures, HE would present himself
as HE saw fit…
You could say
that Yoko influenced him
in all this but,
as time goes by,
it becomes apparent that
he used her presence
as a shield as much as
she used his presence
as a way of becoming famous…
Marriage is as marriage does?
You know it ain’t easy…
Who's gear is in the background ?
I'm curious about the Yellow or Tweed Cabinet in the bottom right corner. Looks like it has an opening on the top like a Vibratone but it's too short to be one unless it was modified or something else
😂 what is that picture of Lennon's face in someone else's wedding photo?
Yeah i was rushing to get this video out ASAP and didnt notice.
John did too much LSD... been there... but I at least didn't turn to heroin or Oh No. Plastic Oh No Band in T.O. was comical... and then sad. We all just sat there with our jaws-a-hanging (Clapton included)
John returned his MBE
Nicely
I always thought the whole "Peace" schtick was shameless self-promotion
the end of the Beatles was the death of Brian
It was always his band.
That is true but by the end Paul had reluctantly taken control as is displayed in the recent documentary. I for one feel the break up was a good thing as if any members stayed in just for the money or fans the music could have suffered. But they left us with Abbey Road and Let It Be.. not too shabby and then onto very successful solo projects.
Reluctantly? Bullshit!
It's always women that spoil the party
Paul announced the Beatles were officially over not John
Yes, Paul was the one to announce it but John was the one who ended it. Heck he has been quoted saying he was done with the whole Beatles thing by the White Album but Paul held it together. We still got great stuff but we did with their solo stuff too.
John Lennon didn't end The Beatles Yolo Ono did.
Who's YOLO???
@@gessimpson3328 typo...Yoko Ono.
Wrong/Fake Paul ended it
Fake Paul did better songs then the real one. Isn't that strange. 😂
you rather think brian was made best man at john's and ringo's weddings so as not to make the others feel slighted.
