  • This was a terrific tribute! Thanks for sharing it. 

  • I enjoyed your wonderful video!

    --------Ellen

  • For those who continue to say, even after all these years John did not believe in God, this is for you:

    "I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong." ~John Lennon

  • John may have been something less than perfect, but his contributions far override the negatives

  • i wasn't alive when he was,but age doesn't matter I adore him much!

    R.I.P

  • Hi PEople!!! :D John The BEst!!!

  • You say it's your birthday

    It's my birthday too--yeah

    They say it's your birthday

    We're gonna have a good time

    I'm glad it's your birthday

    Happy birthday to you.

    Happy Birthday John !!

    U R always in my heart...love you

  • Brilliant. Haven't heard Elton sing this song for John in quite a while. John -- your memory goes on forever and ever . . .

  • I get all teary when I watch this.

  • "We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it."

    -John Lennon

  • the ironic thing is Lennon himself never wanted to be venerated or become some kind of myth , he believed in living for now not hero worship .

  • i think u r correct, speaking 4 myself, i don't worship. i just miss his physical being. his magic is a spiritual continuum! Much love & always ...PEACE

  • This is beautiful, my eyes are welling up with tears. I still miss John Lennon and I will never forget his peace mantra. Thank you for making this incredible tribute to him. Let's keep raising the spirit of peace and love. RIP, John... we love you! You are not forgotten, thanks for your inspiration and your wonderful gifts you left us.

  • exactly- u r wise & beautiful ...PEACE!!!

  • LOVE TO YOU JOHN!!

  • Great Job

  • Beautiful, brings tears to my eyes as I relive that sad day, JL was light years ahead of his time. All of mankind must suffer because of he act of a moron. We love you Johnny!

  • cool

  • nice one...RIP

  • Long lost Johnny boy Lennon forever and ever... and what ever comes after that... Imagine I cried as well but I dropped my mince pie and cream on the carpet but I'm not the only one...

  • lennon un grande

  • what a cool guy...

    rest in peace john...

    if there is such a thing as peace.

    will there ever be?

    <3

  • oh my god! why would someone kill john lennon??! how screwed in the mind do you have to be to do that??!? it pisses me off because this a hole had to go and kill him there are kids like me that will never know him as a person today, just as a person of yesterday. i absolutely adore john and all of the beatles and i will never let anyone forget john or george, as long as i live.

  • There's only one person in the United States we ever wanted to meet ... not that he wanted us. And we met him last night. We can't tell you how we felt. We just idolized him so much. ... You can't imagine what a thrill that was last night. Nothing really affected me until I heard Elvis. If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles. (that ones for you brimagic)

    REST IN PEACE, JOHN LENNON, THE MAN, THE SYMBOL, THE ARTIST.

  • i know ill probably get spamed for this but...at 1:19 doesnt it look like he's harry potter???? sad video but STILL!! k i luv john lennon btw so dont send me hate mail plz!! 0;)

  • perhaps it's that the Harry Potter character was made to look a lot like John.

  • This made me cry.

    John Lennon was killed 28 years ago today. Unfortunately i was born 12 years after he died so i didnt even get to live through beatlemania. But john will always be my hero. He was a very important person to everyone and will ALWAYS be a legend. RIP John Lennon

  • oh god this song kills me. it hurts to listen to it..especially today. i still can't believe he's gone. it's not fair. he had so much to live for and so much he wanted to do. but now we'll never know what could have been. Dream sweet dreams for me john lennon.

  • I was only 4 years old when John Lennon died. Why were my parents so upset? I kept quiet, because I felt it was really sad. I felt the impact it made on the world.

    Later I found out I was only 6 months minus 6 days younger than Sean Lennon.

    John Lennon, RIP,

    Love

  • This song makes me cry. You were a Musical Genius, Artist, Writer, Peace Activist, and a LEGEND. This is a beautiful tribute by Sir Elton John. John Winston Lennon I miss you very much. (sigh)

  • I have the Poster The Beatles walking in London

    And I like it very much

  • Me too, I have his picture in my room too and it is so sad he is not with us any more.

  • I Still Miss John. I look At the poster of him in my room everyday and smile.thanks john

  • me too...i almost cry when i look at my poster!

  • It still hurts... this tribute is excellent. Johnny, can you come out to play in your empty garden...Johnny.... 4 ever is so right...He's with us...and always will be.

  • Beautiful tribute to a beautiful man and artist. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • I'm going to share this one with many friends who will appreciate your efforts in this video tribute. Fantastic job. Reminded me of how much I miss his music and presence in this world.

    Thank you...

  • JOHN LENNON... no more words! PLEASE back, we all need you!!!LENNON IS THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you SOOO much!!!! I love this song!!! Great Video.

  • Lennon will always be remembered as not one of but THE worlds greatest man so far if not forever. We miss you John...

    December 8, 1980

  • Thanks for letting me know this was here. I have just seen U23D tonight. John Lennon was wrong about one thing,very wrong. The dream wasn't over [see GOD] It never will be. it just changed. For me Bono and U2 are part of the dream. Renetto, The 70's were good and so can now be. We just have to be part of the change we want to see in the world. Gazuaman, you are so right. But you will agree that his greatnes was he could see that and could be honest about it. peace to U all

  • john lennon sooo much more than just a rock star.a truly multi talented individual. i read a quote years ago that i think summed lennon up well" john lennon an uncomprimisingly honest man who felt uncomfortable with the notion rock stars should generate mindless good cheer"..then i think hell john was to complicated to sum up in any one quote. john is loved and missed by many generations.r.i.p john and george ...rot in hell chapman..the devils best friend

  • lennon was a wise guy, not a perfect one. Thtat's why he's so important...he still makes us think.

  • Central Park so many memories.

  • Still makes me cry everytime I think of the loss of John Lennon and I thank God that Elton John has been able to bring the world the magic of his music through the most amazing musical career of all time. By the way my name is Anna and I dissapeared for awhile but I am back and once again want to thank you for this beautiful video.

  • I wasn't alive when Lennon was, but I sure wish I was. Last night I had a dream that I was talking with him while walking around my town. How I wish that had been real. The best man to ever live may be dead, but his spirit lives on.

  • beautiful video--great shots!

  • what a lovely video ! iam happy back in the 70's with john on the radio ! alive and kicking ! happer times ! world seems to be getting naster every day !more guns knifes bombs and more nutters !

  • my heart still hurts, i still hav`nt gotton over the passing of one of the greatest men that has ever lived. the video was beautiful, and the pictures were great! i thank you so much for posting this work of art. Mr,Lennon would have been proud! R.I.P John

  • thank you rick I couldn't have said it better myself.....and I so appreciate this beautiful video......thanks bri

  • When I heard of John Lennon's death.I lost track of time. I remember being in my car driving to NYC ? I did not make it. I then was just sitting in my car at rest area on the high way and cried.hrs had passed.I then drove home . Thanks was great. It made my heart smile, and a teasr to my eye. thanks for sharing. thanks to Elton to.

  • GREAT!

  • I was just telling "Therealbrimagic" that the night John Lennon was murdered, I was sitting-up in bed watching T.V. Then a "Special Report" broke-in. I cried almost contantly for the next 4 or 5 days...

  • It amazes me that so many people remember where they were when it happened. I had been watching Monday Night Football with my dad. (In a house full of girls, I was the one who figured out football.) But I went to bed and a while later, Dad knocked at my door and said "one of your buddies is dead". Dad knew I was a fan, hence the "buddy" comment.

  • I watched that game. I can't even remember who was playing, now. I just remember Cosell making the announcement, after that shock, and then tears. You are right...a buddy.

  • It makes me so sad...

    Beautiful vid! Good job!

    Rest In Peace Johnny!

  • cool... very good pictures and very good video...

    "Strawberry fields 4ever..."

  • love the song love john lennon love the life thanks dude for this photos qutes speech life peace

  • peace and love John, hope you are reading all these comments John, having a good laugh.

    R I P MY Friend. xxxxxxx

  • I love John Lennon! These pictures are great!

  • Very beautiful video...the Imagine cirle is in Central Park, in the area called "Strawberry Fields", dedicated to John..

  • great tribute to the greatest musician ever

  • i love this song!!!

  • where exactly in nyc is that imagine circle?

  • I hope things are well with you..have not chatted with you via email in awhile but I had to come back and view this beautiful tribute. Thanks for posting it.

  • Somebody said many years before: "The more I remind him, the more I miss him". I just look back and I say: "It doesn't really matter if the things it's gettin' wrong. My life is full of cheers". What I mean it's, you can call somebody to calmn you down and telling you "don't you cry my darlin'", but you're now taking the decision to live with your fears!. My fears were gone when I saw at first time Jealous Guy and I probably realised that guys like John, would not have anymore!!!!

  • great tribute to a great man I wish he was here today i wonder what he'd have to say about Iraq we miss u john has anyone ever seen footage of his las performance at madison square garden november 28 1974 with Elton John? peace and love

  • Thanks John for the music. Lennon is the best, only the best.

  • John Lennon is truly a legend that'll never be forgotten. His music will live on inspiring many generations to come. It's timeless.

  • john lennon's music, talent, spirit and message effect people of all generations, i mean i'm only 18 and i love his music deeply and i deeply respect his music and message, which sometimes met.

    RIP John Lennon, say hi to George for me

  • Great Video, great tritbute... John is the best !!!

  • great video.

  • Johnny...We love you R.I.P

  • Pretty nice tribute for a very charismatic and talented man.

  • Strange Love The Best.....and the best is John Lennon

  • Aw...I'm crying. "A gardener like that one, no one can replace." yep that line set me off. Also, "Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls,

    We hear your name." He's my hero. I have to agree with "Some say he farmed his best in younger years" But thats Yoko. This may sound crazy but John is underrated. So awsome. Thank you.

  • john we miss you but you'll always be with us RIP

  • We still love you, John! Rest in peace!

  • Make More Vids!

  • Very Good Vid.R.I.P John Winston Lennon  1940-1980

  • john lennon is one of the most inspirational person ever. I love this song, it always make me tear up when i listen to it. beautiful video.

  • Beautiful! I am visiting The Dakota and Strawberry Fields for the first time next week! I cant wait! Rest In Peace John, Loved and Never Forgotten!

  • I have never been so touched by a tribute to Lennon. I couldnt keep the tears from falling. John was beautiful in many ways and this video shows that. Thank you so much! Rest in PEACE John we love and miss you!

  • Thank you. Let his spirit live on. Peace and much respect!@

  • cool

  • I literally have goosebumps and tears in my eyes after watching this. Absolutely fantastic. I wish it were possible to rate more than five stars, but for the record I rate it 5 times 100! :-) Brilliant. RIP John.

  • Ya know, most people don't want to give peace any chance at all. And when it comes to John, so many people get hung up on his comments about Christ and Christianity. Were they truly dumb remarks to make? Yes. Were they the entire esscence of the man as a whole? No. "It ain't fair, John Sinclair in the stir for breathin air."

  • Thanks for both emails. And I will say what I said in my email here. Lennon has enriched the lives of so many with his music that he left behind as a beautiful gift. And as far as Elton John goes I consider him to be the Worlds True Angel of Music who has enlightened my life in so many thousands of ways with his magical ballads. Thanks for this video. It's beautiful.

  • fuckin beautiful man , RIP John

  • Fantastic video dude!!!.

  • Good job. Well done

  • Beautiful. I loved him so very much. Thanks.

  • If we could all find peace, then we could continue John Lennon's dream. All You Need Is Love (and peace). "All we are saying, is give peace a chance" - John Lennon "If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace" - John Lennon  "I dont belive in killing. whatever the reason!" - John Lennon

  • I remeber when my uncle brought home the new Beatles album, HELP!! I've been a fan of all four since then. When John was foolishly taken away from us, I knew it would be a matter time when Elton would put out a tribute of some sort. This was a lovely tribute. For those of us old enough to remember, he will always be with us.

  • Thank you for such an amazing tribute. John lennon is my soul daddy and you are showing my favorite place in the world. I wish I could go there daily... it is so amazing and you can feel his spirit.

  • Awsome John Lennon tribute! He lives forever!

  • Nice! A guy like that is definately worth remembering! And the song...wow.
