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

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."

The room froze when McCartney walked in, and remained perfectly silent until Lennon said, Valiant Paul McCartney, I presume? McCartney responded: Sir Jasper Lennon, I presume? (Valiant Paul and Sir Jasper were characters played by the two, in a televised Christmas play early in the Beatles's career.) McCartney extended a hand, Lennon shook it, and the mood was pleasant but subdued, cordial but not especially warm, at least initially.

how can you not love them, funny as ever.

I don't know if John's messing around, but it sounds like he's going out of his mind on drugs.

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.
