[arcadiastuff]

notice how ono poses against the wall with other women near the beginning. she is so pretentious and full of herself "look at me"

[zyxquark]

I wonder how he kept his cigarette lit in the shower.

[JP5466]

@zyxquark Amen bro. Everytime you see John, he had a cig in his mouth. I love the guy to death, but the cigs would have got him eventually. If not for Chapman he probably would have met the same fate George did.  It's what my father died from.

In Australia when you play netball you hold a ball that way,great game...

[matooli]

These aren't John's home movies, this is Jonas Mekas' film "Happy Birthday To John" , including footage from J & Y's '72 exhibition at Syracuse, John's b'day party on the same day & the "One To One" concert at MSG. The other party footage was shot at Allen Klein's house. Note that the final sequence was shot during the 10 min silence following John's death.

Some great footage here- where else could you get to see John Lennon playing basketball with Miles Davis w. Andy Warhol taking pictures?!

[NeilFraudstrong]

@matooli

I did notice the final sequence. Thanks for your information. I still call them home videos though because they are of a candid nature.

[August8th1969]

@NeilFraudstrong Thanks for posting. This is great!

[0000song0000]

@matooli yes, it's true

[August8th1969]

@matooli Yes, regarding the final sequence, I think the ten minutes of silence was the following Saturday, which would have been December 13, 1980. This is pretty great stuff to watch.

[McLen194042]

Oh, my God! It is hilarious to see John shoot a basketball. It's funny because I used to hold the ball that way when I played youth basketball, until I learned the proper form. You can tell why he never liked sports! Hehehe :)

[NeilFraudstrong]

@McLen194042

Haha, yeah, good thing he didn't quit his day job for basketball, right?

[NeilFraudstrong]

@McLen194042

Also, you just KNOW the other guy was clowning on him for it.

[yeahsee33]

Was that Andy Warhol?

[NeilFraudstrong]

@yeahsee33

Indeed it was.

[jillaaree]

@yeahsee33 yep that sure was. I also love the pot smoking too...hilarious!

[NeilFraudstrong]

Also, all audio is taken from John's 31st birthday party although the dates of the video vary.

[NeilFraudstrong]

Except from 7 minutes or so onward.

[NeilFraudstrong]

Geez, Johnny was a brick mason on the basketball court!
