  • This is just for fun. They were under drugs effects.

  • So good to hear John again hes laconic self and enjoying the company of others

  • Paul said they were all stoned...... here is the proof..... John is pretty jacked up

  • They were just hanging, doing drugs.

  • Not really one of John's more shining moments.......

  • Hey Stevie!! how about a snort!!!.. Lucillllllllleeeee!!!! Please go back to where U belong!!!! Wheres those drinks that this place is known 4???!!!! Or a SNORT!!!!???

  • Paul isn't bad at the drums here

  • Crazy to actually hear this after so many years of "hearing" about it., Thanks for posting! Shame that Lennon was so wasted and that the awkwardness of him and McCartney playing together again is so obvious. Still interesting,.

  • if only someone snapped a photo during this jam :( an incredible piece of history for any beatles fan. Though I don't suggest a first time beatles listener to listen to this, bootleg recordings are better to listen to once you listen to all the albums. -from a life long beatles fanatic :)

  • do you think that john was actually doing cocaine?

  • @turbojet100 Absolutely, Lennon loved his cocaine, maybe not as much as Jagger...but still...

  • @turbojet100 A rock star doing cocaine in the 1970s? Naaaaa...

  • 0:15 "You wanna snort, Steve? A toot? It's goin' round"

  • MAGIC DID NOT HAPPEN

  • Comment removed

  • No video of this :( ?

  • @smushypandafull Thank U!!! In this age it's easy to forget that folks have the right and often the necessity to have faith in something other than mankind.

  • any idea where this was recorded anyone?

  • @ZombiesCartoon Burbank Studios, Los Angeles

    Search in Wikipedia for more info

  • i would have hated to be in this session, john must have been a mess

  • Sorry, man. I don't believe this is true. That story was taken as fake by many people. Sound quality here is very good to be true in 1974. Recordings were made in tape not digital in 1974. Tape doesn't have large frequencies range as digital.

  • @TullioWalker "Sound quality here is very good to be true in 1974" Huh?  Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973, recorded on tape.

  • @ironmanboy I couldn't agree more. The Year of The Cat and Abbey Road too. They all have high quality sound. As we know, Alan Parsons was the man behind the recording sessions of those albums. The point I've quoted is frequencie range. This recording has wide frequencie range. Larger than analog recordings. An expert and the right software can check in minutes if this voice comes from Lennon. He upload voice samples from Lennon CDs and a sample of this recording. Forensics do it all the time.

  • @TullioWalker this is real man

  • strike ya down and strike up the band... could throw a touchdown with out using his hands....

  • @satanasdelincuente Go thump your blow-up doll, you snake-handling cultist.

  • Talk about peer pressure, John Lennon offering you coke. And not only that, Paul McCartney is there as well. I know Paul had a huge coke problem in the mid 1990s. I remember he hit this biker bar in New York city around 1997 which was known as a huge coke den, the owner actually died from a coke OD. That's why I always think that Lennon would have eventually died if he didn't get shot. The dude in1980 weighed about 80 pounds from all the heroin he was doing, he looked like an Auschwitz prisoner

  • @JamesTKirkCobain Paul's coke problem was back in the 60s. by the late 90s, coke was out of vogue

  • I believe paul was playing drums during most of this

  • if they had kept going this way as a supergroup there is no doubt in my mind it could have been awesome.

  • Well, this is God-awful.

  • this is Paul is dead sorta stuff

  • I miss john so much he was stolen from us all!

  • John Lennon clearly asks: "You wanna snort, Steve? A toot? It's goin' round".

  • i wish Paul would've tried to kick off 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer.' THAT would've started something wild!

  • Ringos just like "Oh hell no"

  • I wanna snort with paul and john

  • LOL A pretty awful session for the two greatest musical minds of all time. Still head and shoulders above anything else.

  • This is total and utter nonsense....Love it!! :)

  • Let's not forget most good Rock music is influenced by drugs as was most great modern art.

  • They are high as fuck!

  • They are high on cocaine retards, and John and Paul love each other like brothers.

  • I love the Beatles, and especially John's songs.

    But it's not like any thing that comes out of John or Paul's mouths are masterpieces... People just got to realize that. John has always been a bit of an arrogant prick, but since his death he had became somewhat a saint... and that's not right. The Beatles are just human beings, like you and I.

  • @sattaravy

    If you listen to the Rolling Stone interview he did it was apparent that he hated this concept that The Beatles were Gods. He even says "I talked to Paul and asked him 'Do you wanna join me band?' then George joined, then Ringo joined - we were just a band that made it very big you see". John has been quoted by many who knew him that he was never satisfied with any of his Beatles work. Hardly arrogant. It wasn't John's fault that people treated him as a saint when he died.

  • @sattaravy

    John would even agree with you that A. he was a bit of an arrogant prick during the Beatles years and B. That The Beatles were just humans and not Gods e.g. in the song 'God' he says 'The Dream is over' and lists The Beatles as one of the things he no longer believes in. He thought alot of his songs were shit e.g Run for your Life he said was his least favourite Beatles song, he thought Mean Mr Mustard was "A bit of crap" he wrote in India. He wasn't that arrogant really

  • This is awesome.

  • This is the tawdry side of rock and roll .... I choose ot remeber their real genius on their finished product songs .... It is interesting to see the creative unfinished work of any artist .... . but as a CA Impressionist band of painters Like Maynard Dixon, Jimmy Swinnerton and Clyde Forsythe did at John Hilton's house every New Years Eve in 29 Palms CA .... they held a bondfire and burned their "rejects" .... maybe a lesson to all artists

  • the effects of cocaine

  • hahah paul is super talented on the drums, id have to say so :P

  • hahahahha they rule

  • you say john lennon was a prick. you didnt even know him in real life. im not saying he wasnt but I DIDNT KNOW HIM. so im not really qualified to say what kind of person he was.

  • @jose0814 he was (lol) - but that's okay cos' so was paul- lol But they can afford to be hun...

    There're beatles! ;)

  • @jose0814

    The only thing I can judge Lennon's character on is consistent traits I notice over his entire career (being somewhat of a Beatles/Lennon buff myself) and (most importantly) character traits he gave himself in interviews (for example his 1970 Rolling Stone interview, the entirety of which can be found on Youtube in parts. Very interesting). However I can't say I knew him, only that I knew his work and how he portrayed himself in interviews and footage.

  • John and Paul are musical geniuses. The fact that this is a lame jam means nothing. This type of thing happens millions of times every day with musicians - geniuses and otherwise.

  • What a wasted opportunity!

  • Okay, so the guy is complaining about the sound. SO what? That doesn't take away from what he did with his life? Doesn't every one have bad days? Besides, Paul is known to be a prick too.... so what does that prove?

    P.S.- George played for John on "How Do You Sleep?" which is a slight against Paul. What does that say?

    P.S.S- Paul wrote "3 Legs" and "Too Many People" as a slight against John ( before "How DO You Sleep?")

  • lol you are the biggest faggot this word has ever seen.

  • so is that charles manson under the picture of john lennon's chin?

  • i think thats mal evans the beatles roadie

  • i love johns wit and humour, just read this:

    "That's Paul again ... He had a line in it, 'And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give,' which is a very cosmic, philosophical line. Which again proves that if he wants to, he can think."

  • I couldn't hear anything remotely sounding like Paul on that. Was he simply picking a bass?

  • He was on drums

  • - Lennon is on lead vocal and guitar

    - McCartney sings harmony and plays drums.

    - Stevie Wonder sings and plays electric piano,

    - Linda McCartney on organ,

    - May Pang on tambourine,

    - Harry Nilsson provides vocals,

    - Jesse Ed Davis is on guitar

    - producer Ed Freeman fills in on bass,

    - Bobby Keyes plays saxophone.

  • hey people...the image of John Lennon is not what John Lennon was. To be on top, you need to be a prick. And he was on the very top. Ask anyone famous that they need to claw lie steal and cheat to get there. John Lennon wasn't any different... His music lives on... But I doubt it really reflected who he was in real life. Maybe it reflected what he wanted to be....

  • He was a peace activist, does not songs of the likes "imagine" and "give peace a chance" reflect that? And I don't believe that you need to be prick to be on top, I do believe, however, that you need to have some kind of image, and not just your music to truly be "on top".

  • yeah...you got a point..you cant deny that he was an outstanding human being but...you sure do make a good point

  • what a lot of rubbish

  • People give John way too much praise. He was human ...and a bit of a prick. I just love his music. Maybe he wrote all those peace and love songs cuz he himself was in need of that. Very introspective. Love the music but not the man.

  • I love pre-1968 John. Love him.

    But while John was TALKING about peace and love, Paul was peaceful and loving.

  • @msradx I think George was the most peaceful and loving of them. Paul could be very egotiscal and arrogant.

  • @roscoegino, yes he could, but that doesn't stop somebody also being peaceful and loving. His heart was always in the right place.

  • @msradx bollox

  • @msradx John had his own personality, he was notoriously short-tempered and cynical at times but that doesn't take away from his message. John lived his whole life promoting peace and love.

  • @truthslap Yeah, and I love him for it. Really love him for it. Just like I love Paul for practicing what he preached.

  • @msradx well, I don't think people should be entirely absolved of their character faults, but I do think it's impressive when somebody overcomes their natural tendencies and legitimately tries to live what they believe.

  • @truthslap yes promoting peace and love but John is not a pacifist; the truth he is a violent with Cintia and Yoko Ono and women in general , a drug addict, an anvious, he makes orgy, he abandoned his son Julian, he believe in tarocs and in number 9! this is a pacifist? he don't believe in God, and the true love and peace is only in God; Lennon believe in his false peace and this is the truth.

  • @omarengo you present a very narrow point of view. John Lennon wasn't perfect, like all of us, he's only human. In "Getting Better" from Sgt. Pepper's, John expresses remorse for the PAST when he was occasionally abusive towards Cynthia. John being a "drug addict" and such, which is entirely your own conception, doesn't take away from him being a peace activist and a pacifist. John didn't abandon Julian. John believed in "God", but he promoted REAL peace, not your religious agenda.

  • @truthslap John promoted his peace a false peace because without Christ theresn't any peace, or only a human peace but what means peace?peace is if i love who want kill me, and only in Christ there's this divine peace and LOVE. cristian religion is not an agenda or a book but a REAL PERSON: JESUS CHRIST. Lennon was only human?and Gandi, and Martin Luter King? and Mother Teresa?...Peace and Love are another thing, not: Imagine there's no Heaven and no religion too. This is the anticrist message

  • @omarengo No, it's the humanist message. John didn't believe that peace and morality was special to your religion, and I don't believe so either. People who really promote peace, do it for peace itself, and certainly not for some divisive, factionalist instituion. You can be a shill for a religious organization, or you can stand for peace, but if you subvert the peace message into prosthelytizing, people will see through you and tune out.

  • @omarengo There is no GOD and Jesus was a myth.

  • @nyrichiek Whatever your opinion, Jesus was a real person - It's as bigoted to simply dismiss his existence as it is to thrust religious beliefs on others.

  • @nyrichiek Regardless of mine, or anyone else's religious beliefs, there is historical evidence for Jesus! He was just a random jew, or so they say.

  • @theindiefanclub That is actually not true - many historians doubt his existence. It's an open question - but the lack of contemporaneous accounts of him suggest he never existed.

  • @garethb1961 Well, there was a prophet by that name who was crucified by the Romans... Ergo, he did exist. There ARE contemporaneous accounts of him, in the Romans' record books. Many people in the world are Christians... doesn't mean that Christianity is true...

  • @omarengo God is a real shithead read the bible he fucks up mankind all the time, I dont think god or his son should lecture us about peace

  • @omarengo You are an ignoramus. Man modelled god in his own image; if it were the other way around, we wouldn't be imperfect beings. Peace can be found in humanity...

  • @theindiefanclub gods not real.

  • @urmomonwheels That's what I'm saying. Man invented god to try and explain things, he doesn't actually exist, except in the minds and metaphorical hearts of religious people.

  • @msradx and making pony music

  • @msradx Preach it.

  • @msradx That's true, but it's also true that talking about peace, John made thousand of people believe that it was possible to HAVE peace. The fact that he maybe was not so peaceful and loving is secondary to it in my opinion. He was full of contradictions, but what he did with his positions is history!

  • Artistically it sounds like a direct ancestor of the sounds the band Pavement made in the nineties, at least that first part where Lennon is word improvising over a loose jam!

  • 74 dude no ones lying here

  • Hey! So glad you posted this! Of course it's real! Not a very productive session, but a real Lennon-McCartney cooperation after the Beatles' break up.

    Lennon is on cocaine, on 0:15 he can even be heard offering some to Steve Wonder: "you want a snort Steve? a Toot? it's going round".

  • during these years i also read he snorted herion.

  • His heroin days were over by 1974.

  • Keith Moon should of been on the DRUMS!

  • I agree completely, the late John Lennon had a sour attitude towards everything, of course none of us fans know him personally but all the pictures and footage we see of him after- lets say after the white album- never really smiles and in all the interviews after that period that he did are of his activism for peace and defending "her" rather than music. "A self indulgent prick" is about right, everything he and yoko did he felt he need to tell the world about it.

  • find out more about his childhood. it was shit. he didn't exactly have great influences...

  • as If my post doesn't go right to the fact that I know a great bit about Lennon already....

  • well then give him a break. imagine losing your dad, uncle, mum and best friend all by the time you're 21, and having no real father figure to emulate. then being shoved at the whole world and told that you're the best ever. by that time he was a dad too, and under a million contracts. i agree he treated them badly but to be honest, how screwed up was his position? he changed so much once he'd got out of the game for a while. when he had time to look at himself he changed,and he was great.

  • then give julian lennon a break - imagine losing your famous dad when he dumps your mother, then having him visit years later only to shout at you and basically treat you like shit..... your point goes against you, and just demonstrates my own.... don't make excuses, the rule is simple: don't be a prick, no matter how much of an excuse you have...

  • i DO feel sorry for julian, it's bad that someone should have an absent dad like that. but it wasn't all john's fault, as i said he felt shit later, but you can't turn back time. he didn't see how much his own father's absence had affected HIS childhood until he did primal scream therapy much later, so i think when julian was born john was still thinking it was tough, but hadn't done him any harm. he was still a child himself. not on the outside maybe...but inside. john's life was still worse...

  • Of course it was Johns fault. His father left him so he knew how it felt, and his mother left him soon after

    He was a wretched father to Julian. Didn't even try

  • i know it's his fault. i didn't say it wasn't. i'm just saying, his life was shit so he was never going to be father material. and when he became a dad he was one of the most famous people in the universe. it's a shame for julian, his dad did treat him like shit.

  • And yet one of the most beloved man of all time

    I wonder how many people know he brought adultery charges against Cynthia

  • None of them are songs. They just wanted to have a jam and they did. They made up words to the beats of other songs.

  • At least John's enjoying himself away from the dreaded you know who.

  • She who's name shall not be spoken

  • haha that was classic

  • I love the Beatles and I disagree with that theory that states it was John´s band. That´s silly John and Paul complemented each other. They understood each other you can tell by listening to the beatle´s recordings or viewing their videos while on the studio

  • I totally agree! I don't believe that there was just ONE driving force behind the Beatles; they were a band, they all contributed in one way or another... that's what made them great in my opinion!

  • yeah, they were an alloy, er, allies, er, both.

  • While John Lennon was diddling around with this egotistical nonsense ("So wonderful to be / waiting for my green card with me"), Dylan was recording Blood on the Tracks.

  • Yep. And while Lennon was recording the great Plastic Ono Band album, Dylan was doing Self Portrait. It goes both ways...

  • Good point!

  • Please, don't EVER compare Dylan to John ... it doesn't make sense ... it's like comparing a beggar with God .... HA HA HA HA....I'm sorry .... that was cruel .....

  • Wow!! This is truly historic. Thank You!!

    I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!!!

  • March 31,1974 at Lennon's rented house in Santa Monica Calif.

  • Great post man, now if you can find "Carnival of Light' (the rarest beatle track of all time) I'll eat my keyboard. lol

  • Right on! I heard Paul wanted to include "Carnival of Light" on the Anthology CD but George protested. The other rarest of all is Paul, George and Ringo performing Magical Mystery Tour at Eric Clapton's wedding reception in the late 70s. The holy grail of Beatle rarities!

  • amazing, I'm speechless

  • Youtube never ceases to amaze me, where else would you here this??? thanks for sharing this.

  • sera cierto?

  • lost weekend!

  • Shame that Lennon was so out of it, this simply isn't the amazing historical find people would wish it to be...
