The "Long And Winding Road" movie John's talking about here was later to become "The Beatles Anthology". This was a project that originated back in the mid-1970s and a rough cut was made around that time. I think that the video footage of "This Boy" and "Twist and Shout" that George Harrison is watching in a 1976 video uploaded onto YouTube is actual footage from the "Long And Winding Road" documentary.
Thank you so much for this video,John Lennon was not only a singer songwriter but a peace ambassador and a very intellectual person and not only that if he had an opinon on anything he would vent his opinion and didnt care what anyone thought plus as a scouser he is an inspiration to me
I don't like Yoko but it isn't all her fault he ran off with her. It seems sexist towards men to say they're so stupid they will do something because a woman told them too.
@sucramnormark It was a female (woman) who introduced Adam to the forbidden "thing." It was also a female that showed me, personaly, how to smoke a cigarette properly (inhaling) and a woman who showed me how to get drunk and how to use drugs. Proof's in the pudding.. :P
HE Was pretty young here but to me HE LOOKS OLDER & HE does not look healthy & yes ONO was no good all you do-gooders that stick up for her I Believe John would still be living if he wasn,t with her SHE is a parasite MONEY is her GOD & she has all the money in the WORLD Johns money to do what she wants She never loved John she is not capable of loving anyone BUT herself she even exploites her own son sean TO get to where she wants to be & THAT is all camares on her END OF STORY
@blazak John had a good time playing a few songs with Elton John at MSG the month before, offered to do the same with George. But George, who had been getting terrible revues, thought John was being patronizing. He angrily told John "I started this tour on my own and I'll finish it on my own!". That was in December 1974. It was the last time the two ever spoke.
@Carbon657 Had more people had "guns" in the area where John was shot, he may have survived since someone would have taken out the guy who shot at him. More guns = less killing

He had loads of trouble and Nixon was behind it. Nixon Had Lennon on the FBI watchlist along with other celebrities like Jane Fonda, Joan Baez and many other outspoken war protesters. This was just one example of Richard Nixon's paranoia and abuse of power- certainly among our worse presidents! However, Lennon was not intimidated easily and fought hard on appeals along with his lawyer Leon Wilde and he finally won his citizenship in 1977.
@apmgr251 Why do Lennon-bashers look at this video at all?? They think Lennon sucks-so what? Go away and watch something else. Many Lennon haters are among the Christian-right bunch-no surprise there!
@Lennon4ever1 I feel sorry for them, quite frankly. The man's music alone was genius. But obviously they must find him fascinating enough to look up some obscure interview from the mid-70's just to bash him... Have no time for John haters. They are a strange bunch.
@lalalives They're a hateful bunch, so it's no wonder they don't connect with someone like John Lennon or even understand his message which was opposed to hate, bigotry and war. He was not afraid to speak his mind and challenge the establishment dogmas. He stood up for himself and did'nt just bend over and take it! Those who don't like it can go fly a kite!! -Cheers
For what I see (about John), the Beatles could be together anytime after John's return to play in 1980 (double fantasy). For sure WE would be able to see them together in the 90's, and guess what? ADIOS all the rest of bands, they would smash all of them again. BUT, yes. That fuckin killer took away LENNON's life and our dream. LONG LIFE TO JOHN AND GEORGE and PAUL AND RINGO.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Paul begged George to come visit him in his home in L.A. In the days leading up to George's death, Paul was seen administering this toxic syrup to George.
Years before, Paul was seen across the street from the Dakota apartments the night John was shot. It was said that Paul's eyes were "glowing red" and Mark David Chapman muttered to himself in a trance-like voice "yes master".
OH MY GOD! Paul is on his way to Ringo's house as we speak! RINGO! SOMEBODY WARN RINGO!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I cant understand why Paul McCartney payed Mark Chapman to shoot Lennon. It just shows what a selfish, evil, jealous twisted cunt he really is. McCartney should be locked away until he dies!
@cutandpaste1 Have a good life and know you can`t take away the greatness of Lennon. Do yourself a favor and check out his journey. I don`t think you would be so dismissive of him. Do you even know what band he was in?
@cutandpaste1 I just found your dismissal of a very talented man offensive. I am not at all like you. I like myself. I don`t like the person you make me out to be. I am regretful I come down to your level.
@cutandpaste1 You are wrong on so many levels, Now don`t wake Rush as he is sleeping with you. Is he the top or bottom in your relationship. Ass hat coward.
@cutandpaste1 You are insignificant and thus you have no redeeming value. You are a coward and a nothing. I doubt you even have a significant other.....you are just a fucking cunt who will die lonely and despised.
@cutandpaste1 Lennon has done more for the sake of peace than you will ever do. What have you done for this world? Nothing right, because you are a nobody and a nothing. To call him a parasite shows the depth of your ignorance. So go back to your basement and jack off to your poster of Glenn Beck you worthless piece of shit.
interesting comment when he says he wasn't doing pot at the time. In fact he was on heroin. The tip off he got that they were coming gave them time to get rid of the smack. according to their roadie Neil Aspinell, Lennon told him that he was high on heroin when the cops busted them.
I understand John didn't want or felt body guards weren't necessary since no one really hasselled him, if he had them, maybe he may have been alive today, my speculation.
@beatleman69 - John was not unlike most creative geniuses, he had blind spots. Most of us start to really get down to the business of living at around age 40 ...we start to "get it". Had he lived, it is likely he would have gone on to correct many of his BIG mistakes. His personal security being one, Yoko Ono being the other. He was just too intelligent to allow either of these continue for much longer.
@TheJohnlennongirl - Well, thank you. However, I hardly think George Harrison is in the same league as the late-great John Lennon. My god, that would be like saying my piss yellow, 1988 Corolla is as good as a Mazzeratti!
Every time John was with Yoko, he became a man that no one recognized any longer. He was cold, cruel, gaunt, and nasty. John's funny wit, and wonderful sense of humor, as well as his creativity was lost! In fact, he actually lost his creativity for a whole five years! When he was away from Yoko that 18 months so many people said, that John came back to life as he once was. All his friends and loved ones saw him again. Julian included. That all stopped with Yoko returned. RIP John.
@GhostRocketGames Thanks but really as a really huge Beatle fan from the actual very beginning to the end of the group itself I got this info from the Fab Four themselves and John's friends also in various books and articles. It must have been hell for John who deeply loved Yoko while most of the world seemed to dislike her so much. I myself never liked her either and for that I feel guilty now too.
John Lennon is forever my favorite Beatle, favorite singer/songwriter, bar none. I loved and adored him in life and now in death too. I detest what Chapman did. Senseless and wasteful. I know so much about the Beatles together and solo because, they are the best band in the world and I have been there number 1 fan since I first saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show all those years ago. I have been a die hard fan since.
@TheJohnlennongirl I feel the same way about John. The Beatles were magnificent/amazing/flawless, but John had the je ne sais quoi that has made him timeless and incredibly captivating all these years later despite his death...he was a simply amazing human being.
@forgetwhatyoudontkno In my heart I will always be John Lennon's best friend. I regret I never had an opportunity to meet him. The chance would never have happened anyhow. You ask how I know so much as I speak ill of people? From John Lennon and the fab three themselves! There are interviews online, books wriiten about the Bealtes and about them as a solo person, magazine articles and interviews and on and on. You name it I know it mostly but not 100%.
This interview was done a week after John had been on Monday night football with Howard Cosell and very close to when he gets back with Yoko. He was still with May Pang at the time and he still looks and sounds good here. When he got back with Yoko, he was very thin and gaunt and the wit and charm was also gone.
if i could have stopped the day he died, i would do this: when john is walking down the alley, when the killer says "mr. lennon?" i would come up behind him and say mister chapman, give peace a chance. then i would shoot him until he is oblivian
@sk8boy11 because i first off would be funny to see mark david die . and that song is one of lennons songs. it really would make no sense to say that, but it would make sense to kill the killer of john lennon
@SuperPaulvideo I heard that Chapman shot John in the back, what a coward, if you shoot some one, look at them in the eye before you do. In the old west shooting someone in the back was cowardly.
As if pot was the only illegal drug Lennon could have had... I mean the man had a single called "Cold Turkey" and was talking openly about his drug use.
Yet the British and the US cannot prove that he was a drug user?! Is getting caught and arrested the only way to prove it?
If the US law was not to let in junkies and such, they had every right to deport Lennon.
In this interview he seems so calm, happy, pleased with life. He doesn't make a scene of that he doesn't like Pauls album or Pauls personality like he always does when he's with Yoko for example. He seems really nice here.
Even if he was deported - I think that demented crackpot Chapman WOULD'VE hunted him down whereever he was and fulfilled his warped destiny. So its all speculative and hypothesis, my friends. Who really knows?
I think there is every chance that if John Lennon was deported he would still be alive to this day. Approaching the grand old age of 70 he would undoubtedly still be the long-haired -albeit greyer, hippy dreaming of a better world for everyone.
He would have had a massive solo career throughout the 80s and become the grand old dad of music. The Beatles reunion concerts - and believe me these are the thing of our time - would have been enormous. It leaves one to imagine. Oh what would have been.
@SezbobHeal I doubt that John lennon would have died later of a drug overdose iof he had lived. John was never what you might call a 'heavy' drug user. Sure he had the odd toke on a spliff once in a while, but hard drugs were a no-no with him, especially after after going through a bad period with them in the late sixties.
@BeechwoodSilasLang Yes you're right, but John & Yoko did have the good sense to quit hard drugs and go through what he called 'cold turkey' By the early to mid 70s alcohol had taken over - hence his 'missing weekend' era.
The cops have a reputation for being corrupt and stupid. At least, back then when the world was changing to rapidly for the cops to understand what was going on.
Best , most relaxed and most informative interview John ever did on American tv due to the respectful , low-key tone of Jim Hartz, who was a wonderful interviewer with a special knack for putting people at ease in front of the camera.
He says they couldn't have regrouped in the U.S. because of the immigration problems of the four, but the Stones had Visa problems in America and everywhere and always managed to regroup in some country like Jamaica or somewhere to record. Kind of shows the difference between the groups: Beatles lacked long-term endurance.
@Sappyspartan u say he wasted 10 years of his life??!!! what a pompous and judgemental thing to say-he gave his whole youth to The Beatles and making fantastic music,influencing millions of people.......what have you done in comparison?
Chapman was an obssessed nut and wouldve flown to England to kill Lennon, Stalkers will go to any lengths to get to there objects of obsession. Just google Teresa Saldana & Shawn Johnson
The irony is that had they deported John, he wouldn't have been shot and may still be alive today... I guess that anyone who promotes love and peace and free thinking as John Lennon did will be silenced in one way or another.
I love John! I'm so thankful that I can sing almost like John. It's a gift to even get close. He's something special. I miss him so much, even though I'm only 21.
John didn turn up at georges gig,cos they fell out,john was ment to sign forms to end Apple Corps,he didnt show to the meeting and George rang him and went mad at him,so Lennon never played Georges gig,....
monies only any good if you have the mind to spend otherwise its just paper , man made money ,,money made man misirable ,,, advertising makes you want things you just dont need ,,,,,,,john lennon knew this he knew how the game was played and what he did was learn to play the game by his rules thats what i will miss him for his train of thought
@Oronare how was it possible for anyone to know that being deported could save his life? if he had been a junkie and had died of an overdose, then it might be clever to say "if only he had stop taking drugs, he would alive". do you get my point retard?
@AristYdes i said 'he MAY BE still alive today' I never said he WOULD be. He was talking about maybe being deported, I suddenly got a thought that, wow, imagine if he had been deported, he MAY still be with us.
Yeah, a lot of things COULD have happened, I just picked up on that as it was brought up in the interview is all. No need to try and be a prick on the internet :)
The "Long And Winding Road" movie John's talking about here was later to become "The Beatles Anthology". This was a project that originated back in the mid-1970s and a rough cut was made around that time.

Respond to this video... Thanks. Again, strictly by what has been said, by the Fab Four themselves and Cynthia Lennon too.

@forgetwhatyoudontkno In my heart I will always be John Lennon's best friend. I regret I never had an opportunity to meet him. The chance would never have happened anyhow. You ask how I know so much as I speak ill of people? From John Lennon and the fab three themselves! There are interviews online, books wriiten about the Bealtes and about them as a solo person, magazine articles and interviews and on and on. You name it I know it mostly but not 100%.
TheJohnlennongirl 1 year ago
This interview was done a week after John had been on Monday night football with Howard Cosell and very close to when he gets back with Yoko. He was still with May Pang at the time and he still looks and sounds good here. When he got back with Yoko, he was very thin and gaunt and the wit and charm was also gone.

if i could have stopped the day he died, i would do this: when john is walking down the alley, when the killer says "mr. lennon?" i would come up behind him and say mister chapman, give peace a chance. then i would shoot him until he is oblivian

@sk8boy11 because i first off would be funny to see mark david die . and that song is one of lennons songs. it really would make no sense to say that, but it would make sense to kill the killer of john lennon

As if pot was the only illegal drug Lennon could have had... I mean the man had a single called "Cold Turkey" and was talking openly about his drug use.
Yet the British and the US cannot prove that he was a drug user?! Is getting caught and arrested the only way to prove it?
If the US law was not to let in junkies and such, they had every right to deport Lennon.

In this interview he seems so calm, happy, pleased with life. He doesn't make a scene of that he doesn't like Pauls album or Pauls personality like he always does when he's with Yoko for example. He seems really nice here.

Even if he was deported - I think that demented crackpot Chapman WOULD'VE hunted him down whereever he was and fulfilled his warped destiny. So its all speculative and hypothesis, my friends. Who really knows?
britneystakes 1 year ago
I think there is every chance that if John Lennon was deported he would still be alive to this day. Approaching the grand old age of 70 he would undoubtedly still be the long-haired -albeit greyer, hippy dreaming of a better world for everyone.
He would have had a massive solo career throughout the 80s and become the grand old dad of music. The Beatles reunion concerts - and believe me these are the thing of our time - would have been enormous. It leaves one to imagine. Oh what would have been.

@starryian007 or probs died of drug overdose i should think.
SezbobHeal 1 year ago
@SezbobHeal I doubt that John lennon would have died later of a drug overdose iof he had lived. John was never what you might call a 'heavy' drug user. Sure he had the odd toke on a spliff once in a while, but hard drugs were a no-no with him, especially after after going through a bad period with them in the late sixties.
starryian007 1 year ago
@starryian007 welll, that isn't true. John was a heavy user of LSD in the mid 60s and was hooked on heroin in the late 60s for a time with Yoko.
BeechwoodSilasLang 1 year ago
@BeechwoodSilasLang Yes you're right, but John & Yoko did have the good sense to quit hard drugs and go through what he called 'cold turkey' By the early to mid 70s alcohol had taken over - hence his 'missing weekend' era.

Best , most relaxed and most informative interview John ever did on American tv due to the respectful , low-key tone of Jim Hartz, who was a wonderful interviewer with a special knack for putting people at ease in front of the camera.
gooshala 1 year ago
He says they couldn't have regrouped in the U.S. because of the immigration problems of the four, but the Stones had Visa problems in America and everywhere and always managed to regroup in some country like Jamaica or somewhere to record. Kind of shows the difference between the groups: Beatles lacked long-term endurance.

The irony is that had they deported John, he wouldn't have been shot and may still be alive today... I guess that anyone who promotes love and peace and free thinking as John Lennon did will be silenced in one way or another.

@Oronare how was it possible for anyone to know that being deported could save his life? if he had been a junkie and had died of an overdose, then it might be clever to say "if only he had stop taking drugs, he would alive". do you get my point retard?

@AristYdes i said 'he MAY BE still alive today' I never said he WOULD be. He was talking about maybe being deported, I suddenly got a thought that, wow, imagine if he had been deported, he MAY still be with us.
Yeah, a lot of things COULD have happened, I just picked up on that as it was brought up in the interview is all. No need to try and be a prick on the internet :)
