A Toot & A Snore in '74 - "Stand By Me III"

A Toot and a Snore in '74 is a rare bootleg album of the one and only jam session in which John Lennon and Paul McCartney played together after the break-up of the Beatles. They were joined by Stevie Wonder, Harry Nilsson, Jesse Ed Davis, May Pang, Bobby Keys and producer Ed Freeman for an impromptu jam session.What followed was not very productive. Lennon sounds to be on cocaine—he can be heard offering Wonder a snort on the first track, and on the fifth, asks someone to give him a snort. This is also the origin of the album name, where John Lennon clearly asks: "You wanna snort, Steve? A toot? It's goin' round."

always great to find Beatle stuff I dont have.

[GingerGilligan]

Thanks! Great stuff!

[cornball918]

what a song choice for them... through all the crap and arguments; stand by me!

It could have actually been really good, if John wasn't so screwed up. If this had happened AFTER the "lost weekend," it probably would have been released as a legitimate album by the two. Instrumentally, this is incredible, and all the artists here are great.

@TullioWalker

This is Definitely Lennon & McCartney

[DanielDaniel247]

unreal.

@TullioWalker i assure you its lennon and mccartney, there are witnesses. and hes on coke so john wont sound right because hes incredibly high

[TullioWalker]

@eg463665 ok. But I still think this guy does not sound like John, it seems someone trying to reach his pitch. Paul's voice is closer to reality, but appears to be editing. I could be wrong, of course. An expert examination would be the best option to check it, perhaps. Just take a sample of the voices from regular CDs and upload them to the right software. It's assumed that the program will tell if both samples come from the same person. It would be an interesting test, but expensive.

@TullioWalker If you had read any books or interviews you'd see that both Lennon and McCartney themselves mentioned this jam session to journalists and friends. The other musicians that were also present like Bobby Keyes and girlfriend (playing tambourine) May Pang also have talked about this night.

@MsHeartsOnFire61 this is not john. Paul wasn't there.

[TullioWalker]

Sorry, man. This is fake. That voice is not John (rsrsrs). Good try and good imitators. Plus voice editing. This story has been taken as fake by many people. John and Paul was not talking to each other in mid 70's due to Apple issues ended only in 1975. Sound quality here is very digital to be true in 1974. Recordings were made in tape not digital in 1974. This is a digital recording, did you notice?. Tape doesn't have wide frequency range as digital. Not nocking your video, just a touch.

the last time paul saw john was 1977. the last time they talked was sept. 1980.

john was invited the eric clapton's wedding, but joh declined. imagine if he went...the beatles would be together again.
