John Lennon - Random Double Fantasy Sessions Part 1

[TheReboundingWorld]

Let us prepare for the coming year in the spirit of John Lennon's big plans for 1981.

[DeconPossessed]

I would have loved to hear Lennon FIRE those two assholes on the spot for busting his stones like that. Enough is enough!! It was not 1965 anymore!!!

[leslie664]

yeah it is nice to hear him again just do not bring him from grave

[6021diesel]

There's a great video somewhere on YT where Slick says that he and "Hughie" as John called him, used to prod John into joining them into singing and playing on old beatle tracks like "I feel fine" and "she's a woman". He said that sometimes he would join in happily and they couldn't believe that they were playing beatle songs with John Lennon. Other times, he wouldn't join like you hear on here. Good stuff.

[estefylennon]

HAHAHA I LOVE HIM...JOHN LENNON SOS Y SERAS EL MEJOR PARA SIEMPREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[christeechicka]

It's just nice to listen to John talk and carry on... it's a few conversations I've never heard before, which makes them new to me, like he's still around sayin' new stuff (does that make sense?)

[skyprop]

@christeechicka I Agree Same thing here with stuff I haven't heard beefore. It is all new to me like John did it yesterday!!

[fourtyfrets]

stop playin that fuckin thing!

[NeilFraudstrong]

Haha. Yeah, John was getting pretty sick of Hugh McCracken (I believe it was Hugh McCracken anyway) playing that song. Every time they had a break in the sessions he would always, yes, ALWAYS play that riff and John had eventually had enough.

@fourtyfrets please don,t swear on youtube.Or you will be banned.

[fourtyfrets]

@TheMrwilliams94 oh.

[BarryDennen12]

Maybe the videos will surface once Yoko kicks the bucket.

[ShelterDogs]

@BarryDennen12 Geez. What a way to talk. 

[LennonForever38]

The great Before Play session. Thanks for posting. Let me know if you ever come across that video!

[NeilFraudstrong]

Believe me, I have been looking! Ha!

[bigpaul1980]

There is a website that was dedicated to THAT video!! but the last update was 1998!! shame i really really want to see it plus that Tony Cox film!! that one would be amazing!!

[ShelterDogs]

@TubularMonkey Video? I don't think there was any video taking of the Double Fantasy sessions. Hard to believe when you think about it. I mean, you'd think they would have given it had been five years since Lennon last recorded.

[TubularMonkey]

@ShelterDogs These recordings are from a hidden mic. They document Jay Dubin's video shoot, where they recorded what were to be music videos for Losing You and Moving On. John disliked the quality of the video so much that he allegedly destroyed the video, though there are claims that it still exists in some form.

[ShelterDogs]

@TubularMonkey I see. After reading more comments here and on other videos I'm convinced the video footage was destroyed. You don't go 30 years without releasing even just a bit of it. Yoko Ono would've at least released some of it as a teaser.

@TubularMonkey :

The dictionary says that mike stands for microphone.

mike [by shortening & alter.] 1 : MICROPHONE 2 : MICROMETER CALIPER (Fr. p. 1,432 "Webster's Unabridged Dictionary," 1967)
