"Why dont we do it in road" ..and the way John's sings parts of 'Starting Over' in his Elvis style. Yoko hated Elvis and John's "Juvenal" love of 50's rock n roll. That was a thing he had with Paul. Living is easy with eye's closed; misunderstanding all you see.

I hope someday Paul comes out with it.

We do know how unhappy he was in the late 70's and the year he died. He had plans of escaping Yoko. I hate how she hides the truth and puts out the fairytale myth of how happy they were. NOT

Except that there is footage of Yoko from that recording session. Check out the YT video Yoko Ono Then & Now Part 1 (4:40). My guess is that at least some if not all of the John footage still exists, and that Yoko is keeping it private because John was not comfortable with it. I'd love to get a look at it.

Neil, Bravo for sharing all this 1980 stuff that Yoko would never release. This just validates Fred's observations and shows he was just given the shaft because he humanized John for us! If you see him tell him I said hi! Thx

[RichRod66]

In that same interview with Jack Douglas he stated John said some disturbing things the night he died that possessed him to erase the hidden mic tapes it because it was too hurtful. I wonder what was said! Premonition of death, divorce from Yoko? I guess we'll never know!

[RichRod66]

Ironic by this time he was 135 lbs and looked great but his reason for destroying this was he felt he was too thin and did not like it..

[RichRod66]

Great stuff Neil!!! My dream is to see this vid. Unfortunately, after 30 years not surfacing it confirms John's comments that he did in fact destroyed it. Yoko's stuff does exist so hopefully we will see something yet!

The prat who filmed this should've kept a copy for himself.

@TubularMonkey yeah george harrison once said of visits to the dakota, i always something more that he wanted to say but didn't feel able to (there was a look in his eyes)

[Studmasterify]

I get the clear sense that he is tapping into his rock and roll DNA like he did with the Beatles. I wonder what DNA Justin Bieber taps into? Sesame street

[ShelterDogs]

@helterskelter1 I agree with you. I think that Tubular is wishing for a miracle. There's no reason for Ono to have not released that by now. No one's going to care how Lennon behaved or whatever in it. It's 30 years since his death.
