@@stephenfoskett4633not as closely as previously but yes they got back on steady terms. I trust Paul’s take on this when he has been asked about it in interviews etc.
Paul McCartney has said in interviews that they were on good terms before John's death. Unfortunately it was John and George who ended up not getting on with each other due to comments made by George in his autobiography I, Me, Mine.
In 1974, with Yoko away, they were about to be close friends again. John was more relaxed, and they immediatly tried to make music together again. "A toot and a snore" jam session wasn't their best shot, even with Stevie Wonder in the cast, but at least they were trying and even in the pictures you coud feel a kind of peaceful mood. After that, it is known that John was keen to join Paul for some dates and concerts but with Yoko back, he suddenly refused. For me it's quite evident that, like in our every day mere mortels life, some women or let's say partners can isolate you from a more social life to selfishly keep you as close as possible..
Well, John was a full grown man. He could have decided otherwise. But he didn't. And it's a shame. His home recordings about "mighty McCartney" suggest, he was kind of jealous and regretted his decision to leave the music business behind.
@@Blinki18284 Not many full grown men can escape being trapped by someone toxic. Besides John was an insecure little boy inside, just watch his face when he learns of Brian Epstein's death. Yoko is the kind of girl ,devoid of talent but who can recognize that failure at first glance when she meets someone and rush into this gap. I knew many people like this. And there's a kind of pattern, they're mostly talentless and of course into modern art, throwing randomly paint on a wall or shouting in a mic, wanting a share of their partner's real talent. You're right about John's jealousy, but it was more like a challenge with Paul, like two brothers. That's why he got back to music when he heard Paul's new song in a cab and shouted "fuck a pig, It's Paul".
@@zaziou711 I don't know, man. Maybe it's time to grow up and finally take responsability. Most of the men could, but they are afraid of it. Two different things. And John himself mastered the art of not taking responsability, Julian's life is the best example for it. And maybe we should take art for what it is: A question of personal taste. It might not be your taste, but Yoko was and is an important performance artist herself and shaped art history with some of her pieces (Cut piece, Grapefruit Book, Bagism). And her art had a massive impact on John's songwriting process.
@@Blinki18284 I agree on the first part, not on the second, but as you said it's a matter of personal taste, even if 99,9 % of us think the same about Yoko the "performance artist", we have to respect the point of view of those who think that the earth is flat ;)).
James McCartney claims to remember being at the Dakota and being held by John as a toddler. If true, this would put Paul and John together sometime in 1980. The McCartneys were in NY very often because of Linda's family, spending many Christmas holidays there.
Oh what could have been ? The best 2 singer/songwriters of all time plus George was no slouch by any means. What a band - John, Paul, George and Ringo* 🎶🍏The Beatles🍏🎶 🌎☮️❤️
I think Paul despretly right music again with John but as always loco yoko kept getting in the way....do believe she had something to do with Paul drug arrest In Japan 1980
I have always resolved myself to that fact. But...I understand why. They grew to hate it. It would be a strange experience for them to observe history as non-Beatles, looking at really good bands in the 60's and 70's, not called the Beatles, if there ever were any, and we never knew the 4 of them.
That's showed how Yoko had a big influence on Lennon's behavior and distance between him and his friends and his son. That's how she could keep her manipulation over him
@@DukeofUke61 Wow. I’ve never heard this. Interesting mash up arrangement, probably by some smarty at RCA. The “Harry” Lp is very good also. Instead of James Taylor being “the Great American Singer”, (great as Taylor is), it’s Harry Nilsson, imo. And nothing tops “Jump into the Fire”.
@@davidbaise5137 In an interview, John and Paul were asked who their favorite singers were, and John replied, “Nilsson for president. “ Check out Pussy Cats, produced by Lennon. Great cover of Subterranean Homesick Blues and Save the Last Dance for Me.
John didn't want to leave the U.S. while he was fighting for his green card for fear of not being let back in. Yoko scuttled his planned trip to New Orleans to hook up with Wings.
Jack Douglas, who was Lennon's producer on his last album Double Fantasy in Summer 1980 and was working with him again in December 1980 when he was killed, has stated that he was aware of at least one meeting between Lennon and McCartney in 1980, and it was a working meeting- they were writing together. He went on to say that another writing session had been scheduled, but then when McCartney showed up he was told Lennon wasn't around and was sent away by Yoko. In turn Lennon was told that McCartney had never shown up. There's deliberate obfuscation about the entire late70s timeline of Lennon/McCartney contact. May Pang, who was living in a separate NYC apartment with Lennon has said that Paul was a very frequent guest in 1974. And that story about Saturday Night Live in April 1976 is a whole cloth lie Lennon said because it sounded good and McCartney backed because Lennon said it- McCartney was actually prepping a concert in Texas that night. When asked directly: when was the last date that you saw Lennon in person? McCartney answers “I don't remember”. I’d judge this one of the things he intends to guard his privacy to the grave on, and we're never going to know unless Lennon's diaries get published.
theres no confirmed evidence of the 1974 visit? theres a photo of paul and linda walking in the front door of may and johns new york appartment in one of mays books.
If Lenny had stayed with May, a much more POSITIVE influence on his life, he and Macca would have socialized a lot more. Alas, May was only there so Froko YoJoe could keep her wicked tendrils in him, and, returning to her like a whipped cur, he lived unhappily ever after. 😢
We have May to thank for these historic photos of them together in 1974. As far as I know, these are the only photos of Lennon-McCartney from that decade.
John was known to let out these quips - There is a vid on YTube of a kid in New York's Central Park asking John when The Beatles are getting back together, and John responds "Tomorrow"
Geez I hate to jump on the Yoko bash-wagon but she didn't want a reunion to happen, she would be relegated to a wifey on the sideline. With John to herself she could then embarrass herself on record.
Elliott Mintz, suggested that Paul & Linda had visited John & Yoko on Christmas Day. However, he claims he forgot the year it happened. According to Mintz, they all went out for pizza.
@@derekroberts6654you need to Re-read the title of this video. It’s Titled “John and Paul’s post-Beatles Break-up encounters” - Ringo came over to NYC and stayed at the Dakota,and helped out Yoko & Sean after Lennon’s passing. (and I’m sure Ringo was there before 1980 as well) No one expects this to be included in this video, because it’s not part of the video’s title either. - This video would be 5 hours long, if I had to mention every time George or Ringo, met with John or Paul after 1970.
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l In 1966, John, George and Ringo made a deal with Mi5, never to tell the truth. And sadly, Ringo is still keeping it. Now his three brothers are dead, so he should really speak the truth out now!
@@nadiachristiansen7599lol I am crying my eyes out with laughter 😂 MI5?? Also Ringo and John did state the truth when they said Paul is and has been very alive!
In the 1970s Paul looked 10 years younger than he was. Not trying to be unkind but John, George , and Ringo didn't tend to keep up with the latest fashion trends in the 70s which made them look older than they were.
I don't think it was what they were wearing, with John and Ringo, it was what they were drinking. Both into alcohol, looking puffy and overweight in the mid seventies. Paul was into his weed, yes, but he and Linda seemed to have a healthier balanced outdoor life. Being parents helped keep them grounded too.
I’ve heard others say this, but I doubt it. it. Many major stars didn’t perform: Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart etc. Harrison and Starr didn’t go on stage with McCartney.
@@nadiachristiansen7599 I hope that is a joke. There is no truth in the lie that Paul died - it is full of nonsense claims that are easily disproved. Also, Viv Stanshall was filmed in England when McCartney was with the Beatles on a USA tour in 1966!
Got less than zero respect for john ..he was egotistical beyond his intellect, treated paul terribly and thumbed his nose at everyone and used his dimwiited wife to insult the world of music and his bandmates..he refused to list McCartney songs as McCartney/lennon so it seemed as though lennon was the writer..read the book "A Spaniard In The Works" by Lennon and youll find out ...dude was lame.
John and Yoko absolutely loved McCartney’s post - Beatles music and often sang his songs. Listen to Lennon sings ‘Ram’ and ‘ Band On The Run’ by Stevie Riks. As Lennon once said nothing is real😀
That Ram recording is a fake! For starters the recording sounds so far off Lennon’s Scouse accent it is laughable! Also the tape is supposed to be from Neil Aspinall. Thus it was recorded at Lennon 31st birthday party - it is well documented the songs that were sung and only one was from Ram (Admiral Halsey/ Uncle Albert).
@@dannyvine3605 Danny, that’s what is so hilarious. It’s so obvious from the outset that it’s fake. It’s just Stevie Riks having a laugh..Some daft people then started to believe it was actually John , with Yoko in the background, singing McCartney songs. Come on, John and Yoko actually singing ‘ Too Many People ‘, which Lennon considered to be a real dig at him. I don’t even think Yoko would be able to sing along to many Beatles’ songs.. It’s a strange world😂
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l But Billy is also a masterful speaker. Don't forget, he is also "Viv Stanshall". Mike.williams.Nine after 9-09 edition.-do some research, sage of Quay/William "Wallace" Shepherd.
@@nadiachristiansen7599 What absolute nonsense! Viv Stanshall was seen in England while McCartney was on a Beatles USA tour lol Also how do you know Billy / William ( his name changes!) was a masterful speaker? Nothing is known about him and PIDers keep changing the story when I ask lol
James Paul McCartney died in a car crash in September 1966 and was replaced with William Shepherd. We will never forget the charming man who sang 'Yesterday'❤
