The Day John Lennon Died Part 2/3 

John deserved to grow old and live a happy life with his family and bandmates.

The sad thing is that John was just starting to rebuild a relationship with Julian.

Ironic, that John's considerate enough to share a moment of his time, a few words, and an autograph, with a total stranger, only to promptly be shot in the back by that same person.

John loved yoko. Yoko loved John. Nobody's business. Enjoy the music.

I was satisfied with everything except for the doctor who said: "We knew who we were dealing with. We had a very important person in our midst and it was our job to attempt to resuscitate him." I love John as much as the next person, but I don't like the way the doctor worded it as if celebrities/musicians deserve to be saved more than if it was someone random on their way home.

So what if Yoko Ono ran for cover when shots are being fired...normal people would you know also given her history of being in Japan she experienced a traumatic portion of her life in war torn Japan.

In an alternate universe Paul the amature photographer incerpted Chapman before he shot John and became a hero.John went on to record 10 more beautiful albums and lives in alternate NY to this day.

It pisses me off how in documentary's like this that they don't mention May Pang at all. She was with John during that "lost weekend" and they loved it each other so to see that people try and pretend that their relationship was nothing, annoys me greatly.

Thank god Mark David Chapman is still in jail. He's been denied parole 7 times already. Shame on him for brutally killing John Lennon.

I just watched Yesterday and it was an alright film but when they showed John, I felt like crying. It's sad, I wished he grew old like in the film, doing what he loves with the people he loves.

Damn the US with it's stupid gun laws.if John had stayed in England he would be alive today!!!

She didn't end The Beatles. John said on a interview that The Beatles would never stay together because they were drifting away from the start. Plus John said he never liked the mayhem of being one of The Beatles, that's why he moved to New York.

Shouldn't every person be very important person to emergency personell?

I lived only half a block from St Lukes /Roosevelt and not far from John Lennon I had no idea that night what was going on How sad we lost an icon like the great John Lennon I so miss him like all his millions of fan's around the world RIP

I had just bought double fantasy , I was so happy that it was good , I loved John and wanted his music to still be good , all these years later and it still hurts , unbelievable

God stop spitting Yoko, you have no idea how hard she have been through, we have no idea how hard she have been through.

Had John decided to go to the restaurant (and maybe called to check on Sean) he might still be here. Poor Yoko :(

‘ We had a very important person and we knew we need to save him. ‘ Celebrity culture is so sick.

It still feels like a bad dream

It's a shame that one of the most famous men in the world.... couldn't even go home to see his son without being stalked and assassinated.

LMAO he's dancing in he beginning made me laugh like a fool xD gotta love playful goofy John

God Bless you Yoko!!! I remember that night like it was yesterday. I was with my late Mother watching Monday night Football and they interrupted the game to announce this. I went suddenly numb and couldn’t stop crying........my heart, prayers and love have always been with you and yours....Love you,Michele

I don't understand why people still to this day despise Yoko, John made his own decisions with his career, without her I doubt he would have become to the amazing man he is known for. Yoko is a beautiful hearted lady who had nothing but love to give, yet everyone was against her.

I can see the pain in her face and her voice! So sad

Yoko didn't split up The Beatles, The Beatles would have split even if he hadn't met Yoko. Time split The Beatles up. They grew up, they had families, their music was going in different directions. The group was getting too big, & the music that they did on their own was constrained by the pressures of the group. It was inevitable.

My biggest hero......gone. It's just not right!

Man the radio guy looks young for interviewing john the day he died in 1980

rip john

Thank God Chapman has just been denied parole again. Although I personally wish he'd been released after the shooting - and left to the people on the street. We all know that justice would have prevailed. :(

0:00-0:10 you can see why Yoko Ono loved him so much!

I wish people (fans) would cease using John Lennon's killer by name. Let's delete if from our words.

Yoko so sorry my heart is broken for you!! The worse day in history for the world ..so sorry Yoko ,Sean,& Julian .my condolences my dear Yoko..sending my love to you...

Not nice how they say it was their job to resuscitate him after realising he was famous. Hope they put a lot of effort in for everybody else too.

" we know it was an important person and it was our job to resuscitate him" um thats rather disturbing

When I was two I was startled by everyone singing along to this new song all you need is love . I was programmed since then In a good way. 52 years later. Love is still all you need.

Interesting how the Doctor said that at first some colleagues didn't think it looked like John Lennon. His hair style was getting shorter and moving back towards the 50s pompadour by this time, which actually became an iconic style in the 80's.

RIP John we love you!

The Beatles brought the breakup on themselves.

personally, I liked his first wife

No matter what is said about Yoko. Or even my personal opinion on her, she loved John. You can feel it . She never remarried . She never moved from their home .

i will never say the mans name who took johns life...i will never read anything about him or what he has to say....i would not give him one second of my time......

10:12 she must have replayed that scene in her mind over and over.

whoever is hating on yoko, keep this in mind. John Lennon lover yoko very much, i dont think youre doing Lennon justice by saying these hurtful things.

4:07 really upsets me.

This "lost weekend" with May Pang was something that is forgotten that he reconnected with Julian & Paul.

so did cynthia and julian....

Right on -- at first, (as a kid) I was like - 'huh?', but then it was: He's John Lennon, there has to be a good reason. I read a little of her writing; that made me respect - not like or dislike - her. It was so obvious that she meant the world to him, and vice versa. We never owned him. & isn't that the point?

Yoko's "singing" is absolutely a crime and assault against the senses.

9:35 Goosebumps! And I think it was played with his old Beatles guitar, the white one.

No. It's painful for anyone who lived through this.

Hurts my heart. All we are saying is Give Peace a chance!

Just makes me feel sick to my stomach

Imagine what John would be doing today for music and movies. He was a great man a man who wanted peace in the world. He had amazing dreams and thoughts for the world. You know the way he was doing his life I could picture him being president today. He would of done amazing things for the country. I truly hope that when he passed away that his soul was blessed by God right away. John did not deserve to die exspelly like that... May he always rest in peace..

Yoko is/was a joke of a vocalist. She would never have been heard in mainstream if not for Lennon.

We miss you John. Thanks for everything x

no yoko asked may pang to look after him...may and john had a relationship for eighteen months....she asked may to ne his girfriend....yoko controlled that because she knew she would have him back...and may and john carried on seeing each other to...may wrote a book about it...fascinating

John referring to Yoko as mother is creepy.

Its hard to watch this becase its hurts so much, becase i miss John so much....

John said don't forget to get ur book...did you get ur album signed?? Paul said he'll get it tomorrow..ill get my book before I leave..why would john say that?? Surely John would of known if he signed his album..or not...am I reading that wrong?? And for Paul to have seen Lennon earlier, just the way it sounds he told Paul I'll sign urbook this afternoon,..so why did Paul not stay with John?? How did he talk to him if he did,? If he had access to John why did he have to go back outside and wait?? I'm confused about That part.... Know what I mean?

0:42 his albums weren't selling?? Huum didn't John have enough net worth?? I thought I read he was worth over 150+ million dollars?? Which ppl say today be worth over 600 mill??? They paid for the finances of double fantasy cause it was pennies to him....what I wouldn't give to have played on his album... I wonder what type of accident Alain got into? NYC so busy to me u wouldn't think u would get into a major accident.. in car packed, busy traffic, ppl walking... busy place

This terrible tradgedy still moves me to tears, for such a peaceful and happy John at this stage in his life to be stalked by that evil psychopath amd murdered so violently is beyond beleivable to many of those who knew and loved John. Sadly, Dear Yoko was there when it happend I cannot imagine how she fel or coped with such a loss of her soulmate and friend and father to Sean his name sake (Sean is the irish name for John). and Julian. John and his family deserved to live in peace and happiness more than anyone.. We have missed out on the life of John and Yoko in their lives and the music that John would have given to the world. John Lennon will go down in our history books along with Paul, George and Ringo as the most famous band ever in the world. Lennon and MaCartney should be taught in schools that they were the most prolific song writers and composers of the modern times. Unsurpassed by any other group. Fame didn't matter to John especially at this time in his life. Rest in Peace John you are still loved adored and missed by millions of people around the world. My heart has a missing piece that is with you. From me to You. ALL WE NEED IS LOVE!.

The events of that night are incredible and sad!

Rubber soul; that beatles magical album that led to many more after

Notice how many times all the interview subjects mention Jose???? Hmmmmmm...........

I feel for Yoko and all the family 💔

He wanted to se Sean :(

just for the record you should read julians take on all this.....i know john loved her but there is another side to this story...

John♥️Yoko . . . . . . . YES

43 years on Rest In Everlasting Peace John Lennon never forgotten 🪶 🙏 🕊️✌️🕊️🤍🕯️

I Think Paul Goresh Was A Nice Person. Rest In Peace, Dear 👼. God Bless.

You know what’s coming you know they’re gonna say Lennon died but when they do it suddenly becomes a reality that is just so unbelievably sad

I love Yoko........!!!.....and so did John

PLEASE LOOK AT 5 22 UNDER THE CENTRAL PARK WEST SIGN. APPEARS TO BE THE LEFT SIDE OF JOHN LENNON WEARING GLASSES. THIS REALLY FREAKED ME OUT TODAY. IT'S CLEARER ON THE FULL VERSION.

Be Kind. She didn't want his music to die nor him to die. Why must you hate?

does anyone else feel there heart beating when the dramatic music comes on 5:53?

It is just all so sad. I don't think I will ever get over it completely.

yoko.....if you could have just welcomed julian into your lives people would not have judged....to this day you have never done that.

No one should die from the hands of another. So wrong. R.I.P. John 😢😔 💝 things like this should never happened.

Beautiful purity. we should all be so fortunate

I wish the limo went in the driveway instead of obeying John's orders to just stop at the front of the building to drop him off. If the driver went in the drive way, that punk wouldn't get a good hit at John.

one can only wonder how serene and full johns life might have been had he not met yoko...

December 8, 1980 by Mark R. Elsis "I am going into an unknown future, but I'm still all here, and still while there's life, there's hope." John Lennon, December 8, 1980 John Lennon was the greatest singer-songwriter and the most influential political artist of the twentieth century. He was assassinated on Monday, December 8, 1980, walking into the Dakota, his home on the upper West side of Manhattan, New York City. In mid-November of 1980, I told my closest friends, John Lennon was about to be assassinated. I told them the powers that be were going to blame it on a lone crazy deranged fan, and that this person would never have a trial. I don't know how I knew all of this would come to be, except to say that besides my parents, John Lennon, someone whom I had never met, was the most significant person in my life. Perhaps because of my lifelong adoration, I was tapped into a precognitive form of what Dr. Rupert Sheldrake postulated in his theory, Morphic Resonance. I was driving my taxi in Manhattan on that beautifully warm Monday evening of December 8, 1980. At around 10 pm, I was traveling without any passengers, when I passed by the Dakota. About an hour later, I was still driving my taxi while listening, as always, to Vin Scelsa on WNEW-FM 102.7, when he suddenly announced John Lennon had been shot. A short time later, while trying to hold back tears, he announced the death of John Lennon. John Lennon Assassination Announced By Vin Scelsa On WNEW-FM December 8, 1980 (7:38) www.bitchute.com/video/pPJKwDcY12Tx When Vin Scelsa broke this horrible news of John Lennon's death, I was with a woman passenger in my taxi. I was on East End Avenue, the same street where I was born, in Doctor's Hospital. As soon as my passenger heard the news, she immediately broke out crying. Soon there were tears in my eyes and rolling down my checks. I composed myself, turned my off duty light on, and finished driving my passenger to her home in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn (one block from where my paternal Grandmother lived). I dropped her off, waited until she was inside her home safely, and then headed straight to the Dakota. It was about 11:45 pm when I arrived, and already there was a large group of people gathered. I double-parked my Peugeot 504 taxi just about twenty feet West of the archway, in front of the Dakota. I opened the sunroof of my taxi and placed a portable speaker on the roof so people could hear WNEW-FM live. Soon hundreds of people had gathered outside of the Dakota. Throughout that solemn night, thousands of fans arrived, mourned, and left. I know about these thousands of people coming to pay their respects and grieve the tragic loss of John in the middle of the night because I stayed in front of the Dakota for the next nine hours. It was heartbreakingly sad for me to witness. At any one time during the night, there were dozens of grown men and women openly weeping like babies. These nine hours were the catalyst that transformed my life. I swore on John's blood that I would do everything I possibly could to enlighten humanity and make our world better for future generations. And every day for the last forty years, I have been doing just that. Strawberry Fields: Keeping The Spirit Of John Lennon Alive (Film) (1:22:08) Producer | Writer | Director: Mark R. Elsis Featuring: Crying For John Lennon, by Hargo, Produced by Phil Spector and Graham Ward Released Online: April 1, 2020 www.bitchute.com/video/4OFVttHeM8PD

That thing about Mc Cartney was great to listen to.

Typical reporter not caring about the person but more about the story.

I've always wondered, how was John's relationship to Julian?

For those that think John Lennon faked his death i have a unicorn for sale that passes Skittles and rainbows into the wind.

At 2:46 sec is Yoko on stage blindfolded and knitting? O_o had to rewind on that one...

I can’t finish watching this . We know what happened . It’s still to fresh in my memory

Im sorry but i think Yoko was a strong women. She kicked out a rock star when 99.9% of women would lick his shoes. She never knew what was around the corner.

Glad they loved each other.

“I told myself: 'I am surrounded by unknown things.' I imagined man without ears, suspecting the existence of sound as we suspect so many hidden mysteries, man noting acoustic phenomena whose nature and provenance he cannot determine. And I grew afraid of everything around me - afraid of the air, afraid of the night. From the moment we can know almost nothing, and from the moment that everything is limitless, what remains? Does emptiness actually not exist? What does exist in this apparent emptiness?” ― Guy de Maupassant

that made me cry

I’m sure Paul Goresh had huge feelings of guilt, knowing that he had talked to Chapman a few times before he shot John. Running the scenario and re-running this scenario about how he might’ve been able to prevent this. All you need is love. John Lennon. Smart man. Shot in the back. Very sad.

No comments address the fact that John Lennon & Yoko Ono hosted the most prominent, divine personality of this age, (and future ages), with his dedicated followers at their Tittenhurst place. So I will write that part of history. Even a fraction of a second of this transcendental association is priceless. It's the drugs and drug culture that infuriate my soul to no end. 💙🕯️🙏🏻 🕯️💙

To be fair, a door man is the polite name for a bouncer. Also, that was at the beginning of the gunshots when she tried to find cover, before it was known that Lennon had even been shot and 'fight or flight' would be in full effect. I have to admit she was quite courageous, however, because as John was bleeding out she ran back to him and cradled him while he was bleeding to death. Probably because she finally realized he had been shot. And despite a crazy gunman still at large.

I have ALWAYS loved Yoko! I thought that they were the exception to the rule when it came to unconditional love. Though John cheated on her, he knew what he did! He came back and she took him back with arms wide open. If only we could all learn from the love that they both had. Love for peace, for others and for EACH other! I love you both,Yoko and John.

@wildsmiley Before the restaurant, they would go to the Dakota, and the scene would be the same

It's strange watching at 11:15 because i've stood at the exact spot he is standing. It was a very strange feeling standing on the spot where John Lennon died.

I think he purely meant that it was additional pressure - if they failed, millions of people, instead of dozens or hundreds, would be freaking out. Put yourself in his shoes.

amazingly Chapman gets to live
