the 20th century had the beatles, acdc, iron maiden, motley crue, ozzy, etc... and what o we have in the dearest 21st century? justin bieber, cody simpson, katy perry, lmfao, etc.... is this really what music has come to?

THANK YOU for this. I had never heard the original Free As A Bird before, so this is very cool. I miss this guys voice and his powerful positive influence. I think the world would be a better place if Lennon were still here, telling the truth thru his powerful and incredible voice. It's a real shame that one creep took him from all of us

@TieFreaty Great musicians and cool bands are still giving the fight out there, the problem is that good music is less and less popular everyday.

Even though incomplete, this version is even more moving than the final version.

John's solo work is my favourite of any of the Beatles by far!

@TieFreaty In our defense, it has only been the first ten years of the 21st Century.

Amazing

¥There is beautiful music still being made...(Jeremy Enigk - River to Sea: to maybe show u a path..he has kind of J.L. solo sound) they don't choose the same path as in.. signing deal making videos etc...they've been going in and out of style..but they're guaranteed to raise a smile :-)

"What's the next best thing to be..."

J.L. had s gift for taking simple phrases and using double meaning's...even before Lucy ;-)

JOHN has the raw power and please look the official video,like georgie's face recording.He was very happy to record the song of his friend john. NOT PAUL, I LOVE THE BEATLES

[RoyKidman3]

So when the beatles redid this they were completely faithful to this... McCartney just filled in the gaps. They used every audible line Lennon used here.

@TieFreaty None of the artists you mentioned were around by 1912 so I think it might just be early days yet ;)

@TieFreaty you can go to any bar to see real bands play rock and roll or just good music. If you are a Tv slave well you will never find anything. There is good music because there is people with good taste who follow people like Lennon, people with brain so get out and dont think more about Bieber (plastic people plastic!) greets froms argentina!
