I finally got to see May's movie about a month or so ago. And I was pleasantly surprised with how much stuff I didn't know about the Lost Weekend.....and those last years of Lennon's life. Great interview with her too!
Your speakers are staring at me..... 0_0;.....I wish John had stayed with May, too. I've always found Yoko's control over John abhorrent, and May seems a lot more mellow.
22:50 Cynthia Lennon backs this up in her book. She said, in early days, young George followed them EVERYWHERE and it annoyed her, as they wanted to be alone sometimes, being a young teenage couple. But young George worshipped Lennon.
She's a doll; such a New Yorker. She sounds like Woody Allen... I'm glad she's had all these great experiences, and is still able to create interesting content to share about those fabulous years. I hope she's around for a few more decades, so she can release even more details as time goes by...
She is lovely, I like how he talks about John in the present. Instead of "Johns was". And the fact here, and in other interviews, she allways resisted, no way John or Yoko arranging the relationship wanted just her. She seems a sweet and good hearted woman. I would have been nice a happy anding for her and John Lennon. I hope she wasnt hurt to much and managed to move on swiftly. wow 25:09 very powerfull
May Pang comes across as down to earth and credible. I enjoy watching her and listening to her stories about That Lost Weekend . She's a treasure. Great interview.
This is the story of a true meeting of hearts and minds not choreographed and edited for the press the genuine fondness still shines through .May is a shining spirit . Thank you ....
LMFAO. People still pretending May was the great love of his life, how hilarious. I love May, but it's written all over her (and in her books!) why John didn't stay with her. All you have to do is listen to all the songs he wrote about Yoko, and the one song he wrote about May (Surprise Surprise) to know that the feelings weren't nearly as deep (or as mutual). She wasn't an artist; Yoko was. There's no substitute for a meeting of creative minds. That's why he left Cynthia, that's why he didn't stay with May. He was with her while he was a drunk, living with a bunch of other rock stars who had similarly ditched their wives. The idea it was some "golden time" is pretty hilarious.
@@TTM9691 Because, it’s so simple, Yoko was watching them the entire time and decided when they would come together as a pretend couple and when it was also decided by Yoko when they were done. Basically when Yoko was running out of John’s money, which she was using up to record her own music and songs. She came up to them one day and said “ this is over and you’re never going to be able to be with one another again.” That was it for him. No more Love in his life. No more going out seeing his friends and best friend Paul, other friends that they hung out with as a group, at the Whiskey 🥃, and the Rainbow 🌈 Room. Seeing his little boy Shannon. All gone. That’s why she tried over and over to make sure that she was going to give him a son on his birthday. That wasn’t an easy task to accomplish on purpose, losing babies, just to get things right and on John’s birthday. Baby was born early and an addict. Which nearly got him taken away from them. They took him away from the hospital and off they went. It’s amazing that he survived! Then John became a stay-at-home father. Good thing that he did. He did well. Despite what others might think and say about him. John was a good man. There’s no reason for bullying anyone anymore. Those times are over gone and good riddance to all of that. The world would be a much harsher place if it weren’t for the fact that the Beatles had come along. Love to the Beatles and their music and songs! You all are so amazing, thank you so very much for sharing with us all! The love ❤️ and the sharing will always go on and on forever! ❤️🩷💛🧡💚🩵💙💜
@@revrotunda3206 Number one: learn to spell English and number two: it's not "either or". You obviously are a mediocrity who is addicted to myth. There is no such thing as "love story of the century". The only thing that should concern you is the music that YOU enjoyed which was directly influenced by that relationship. It makes no difference at all whether Lennon had "issues" - EVERY relationship is made up of people dealing with their mommy and daddy issues - or whatever bug you have up your ass about somebody who you never even met and how they lived their lives. Your only contract with John Lennon is the music that he gave you, and some bits of film and stuff you can read and look at. And when it comes to that criteria, Yoko is WAY more valuable to John Lennon's artistic life than May Pang ever was, and that's all there is to it. Do I need to list all the songs, Rotund One?
May is so freaking cool. I have listened to a lot of interviews with may. I know it might seem conspiratorial or crazy but I have always thought that there was something strange about John going with yoko to be hypnotized into no longer smoking cigarettes anymore and suddenly he is back with yoko...it makes me wonder if he wanted to stay with May and he was tricked into going back with Yoko. She seemed to have a way to suddenly get John..same thing that happened with Cynthia Lennon and then with May.. Anyway I love May.
@@kathygrosvenor4464do you mean yoko and John had a spiritual connection? I think they did as well. But I also think there was something else going on.
In other interviews may said that John didn't want to leave her, but she sent Paul to Las Vegas to feel the Lennon, pang out, and she said something about Lennon was having problems with immigration so it would be better to get back with yoko, I think if he had stayed with may she was an American being born in America he might not have had to fight for the rights to stay in America, and we all know how that turned out.
I had the great pleasure of meeting May way back at a Beatles convention in Connecticut. She was beautiful, adorable and very sweet and kind! Can't wait to watch this!
Great interview, man. I gotta see this movie now! I mean, she was so young when they were together, and she had such great intuition and understanding about what John needed. I guess she understood family, no matter if you’re related or not and how being with them makes you whole. You can make up with your brothers, get on new footing- or OLD footing as it were. John just happened to get involved with a sociopath who mined him for his deepest fears and insecurities to keep control. It’s an obvious thing to recognize if you know what to look for, but he just didn’t KNOW. Anyway, great work, JT! It was a pleasure to watch!
Why? She's one of the most easiest interviews to get. I mean, she's at practically every Beatlefest. I met her in the 80s at one of 'em and I know she's done a million ever since. If you look up her name, you'll find ten thousand interviews with her.
@@flashflame4952 Um, no dummy, that's now it works. She's a professional Beatle pundit, she's been at like every Beatlefest since the early 80s, she makes her available and makes it known she's available. And when she does interviews like this, she's promoting her multiple books, and her brand. Oh, and by the way: this is EXACTLY why John went back to Yoko. He could smell that a mile away. He didn't want a Beatlefan for a girlfriend.. I like May, in fact I love her! But please, don't jump down my throat because I'm laughing at someone marveling at "actually getting a May Pang interview". As I said: it's not exactly a rare interview. Jane Asher has NEVER spoken a WORD about Paul McCartney. THAT would be something to marvel at. But of course, Jane has her own thing so she doesn't NEED to talk about Paul McCartney. May's thing is being a professional ex-girlfriend. Sorry you can't deal with that, you sycophantic imbecile.
This is a great interview! May Pang seems so lovely and down to earth. She was so good for John, especially where Julian was concerned. I would like to believe John would still be with us if he had stayed with May. 💗 I look forward to seeing this movie!
I was just listening to this with a bit of curiosity, but when May started telling about the meeting with George it blew me away. I don't know if other people knew this here, but George almost got the Beatles to reunite for the Bangla Desh concert and even Paul was interested (but wanted to know how John reacted to this first). John said 'yes' but then he insisted that Yoko will 'perform' with them. George said 'absolutely not' and Lennon walked away from the project. Paul then said 'if John's not there it wouldn't be the Beatles, and it wouldn't come off well' and stepped back as well. I wonder if this is what George meant.
Well, what can we say? All these years, that incredible life experience and May is incredibly sensible, friendly and humble person. Just the opposite of Yoko. What May lived through with John was really hard to bear. She was just so lucky to have had to continue living without him. Listen to and look atCythia and Julian
I thanked May for not only sharing her truth with the rest of us but always thanking her for taking her camera with her. Sharing her photos with everyone is just so cool of her to do that. During their time together, May got John to see his old friends, make some freaking amazing music and the most important: Spending time with Julian who did not want to travel alone to Florida to see J&M so Cynthia traveled with him. May was good for John. May wasn't into tatot cards, numerology, and all the seriously ridiculous things that Yoko was into. John and May started to look for a house together out in Long Island. That's when Yoko the control freak realized that John and May were serious about their relationship. Yoko had to pull John back because if they divorced, Yoko wouldn't be the one to get all his money, etc. In fact, she had John redo his will, etc and John being pussy whipped to some degree just signed it. Read the books about it...there's tons of them out there and most of them are truthful...
Ono was reportedly having an affair w/Sam Green at the time The Lost Weekend Started which would explain why she arranged for Lennon to be away w/Pang as her & Lennon weren’t getting along. Just how much Lennon knew is not clear-he supposedly liked Green as he deemed in his will that if him & Yoko should die at the same time, Green would be Sean’s legal guardian. But on the other hand, since it’s said Ono had a will reconfigurated not too long before Lennon was murdered, that sounds like her wording in that stipulation-in the event I should die with Yoko at the same time…..Who would count on that or believe that highly unlikely thing would happen. She also reportedly was interested in marrying Green but he wasn’t interested in that but had he been, Yoko would have obviously not received ALL of Lennon’s money in the settlement. But then by the time Lennon died or before, Ono was with another Sam, Havedtoy, of whom she immediately had move in at the Dakota.
@@revrotunda3206 You are correct! She did have John do another will...Cutting out everyone except herself! She is a dangerous sociopath and has all the traits of one. Plus she was also hot in the pants for session musician David Spinozza...I don't care what anyone else says, she ruined him.
Such a Beatle is John! Who would create THREE wonderful albums, such great songs, in his "Lost weekend"? Only John could do it. On his "vacations" in India, he produces thirdy new songs! This boy that I love. His genius name: John. Thank you May for take care of him for us. Little Princess.
I adore May Pang, ever since I was young. Maybe as a fellow NYer, it's just the way she speaks. It's clear and direct and strong. I always appreciated that she helped Julian and John come together again, and that she was friends with Cynthia, John's first wife. Even though I obviously don't know any of these people, it seems that it was a good era in Lennon's life, which was cut too short. May seems like a person you want to grab coffee with and chat.
May’s and John’s story ( a love story) deserves to be told.John was a part of history that should be known as moment in it, and I’m sure there’s so much more then just John and Yoko. Thanks May
May Pang was thrown into the spot light. She has handled it with class. In a different world May Pang would have been much better for John Lennon. And....let's face it no pun intended...May was way better looking. 😲
Bland looking as hell. NEVER good looking, school girl book worm but she seem very nice. Not respectful because who would announce to the world "I had sex with John Lennon!"?
I think it is very fortuitous that Get Back came out and now we have May Pang's movie. I feel we are at last able to put the pieces together and understand better what really went on. You don't get straight info from the inarticulate abd dishonest Yoko. I should gave put it together before, but John had a Borderline Personality Disorder. Suddenly his extreme behaviors make sense to me.
I saw the Pang movie on the BIG screen in PA this past April. It was showing one day at one time but I saw it. The theater had about 60 people because there was not a lot of publicity. on it. Some attending felt more would have been there but it was not promoted.
Poor Cynthia as soon has the Beatles made it big - she was gone they made sure she faded in to the oblivion bless her. And what is worse they were all loved up with their new beau's in front of her. And wrote all new love songs for them. 😢 She was mugged off.
May is very much more endearing than Yoko, and was clearly very good for John, but I don't think John would have returned to Yoko if he really didn't want to, and I really do believe he loved her. Plus being Sean's father and being an integral part of a stable family was clearly very good for him, especially given his own background. It all sounds pretty complex, and it's too easy for any of us to judge. This is especially why this movie is so special and so important. I think May has done something quite wonderful.
Also, the split love/divided devotions scenario would have resonated very strongly with John's childhood parenting experience. I think Yoko may have preferred to keep things mysterious and cryptic, but May's provided some large and very significant jigsaw pieces here. Through her courage, generosity, and insight, a clearer, truer picture emerges.
May Pang actually was very good for John. Yoko knew that as well. John lost Weekend lasted 18 months. John seemed more relaxed. John besides Mind Games Walls and Bridges ( which I love ) Rock n Roll. Pussycats with Nilson which John produced. Also John did some work with David Bowie Young Americans. John was active. It was Wild at Times out in LA. Paul & Ringo visited. John attended George's Concert. Fate would have been different if John Stayed with May. I believe The Beatles would have done something. Well Fate is a funny thing. Yoko was a Dominate Woman. Emotional Sponge. Yoko was a Game Changer for sure. Did Yoko split the Beatles? No but she didn't help the situation. Ball and Chain.
I was all of 15 when John took off with May Pang for the West Coast, and I remember well reading all the tabloids, and hearing the news of John’s escapades in LA. I don’t think Yoko was the best influence for John.
LOL. So you hear about John's escapades in Los Angeles.....and you blame them on YOKO?? LMFAO. You are so hilarious. Hey doofus: your only contract with John Lennon was his music. And Yoko inspired COUNTLESS great songs. May inspired a single half-baked, not particularly memorable song ("Surprise Surprise"). Compare that to "Bless You", 'Oh My Love", "Don't Let Me Down", "Julia" (which he said was partly about Yoko, "ocean child"), etc etc........You should get on your KNEES and THANK Yoko for inspiring such classics. (Not to mention influencing the lyrics of "Imagine", one of his most enduring songs).
@@Bella-nt7ec What are you babbling about, Bella? Take your thumb out of your mouth and stop being a sycophant. I like May, I met her in the 80s. She's a professional ex-girlfriend, why are you whining to me about it? Go search her, you can find 15,000 interviews with her - usually long ones - stretching back to the 1980s. Her life experience appears to be spending decades talking about a fling she had in the 70s. She's not like Jane Asher, who has never once even mentioned McCartney in an interview, she's made it her life's work to remind everybody of this relationship she had with John Lennon every chance she gets. Give me a break. I can understand one book....but THREE??
@@TTM9691 she’s certainly kind and friendly, she was with John, she helped Cynthia come with Julian. Also Paul got to see John, he wanted that happen so much, I mean Paul did. That is, just the opposite that Ono did. Btw these invectives, do yoko fans always do that?
I'm just going to say it. I have no use for Yoko. I wish she had never come into John's life. I know that's a very harsh thing to say about a woman John loved. But, I also think John was somehow blind to a lot of Yoko's selfish manipulations. During John's "Lost Weekend", according to Pang, Paul McCartney invited John and May to join them in New Orleans for a recording session. Also according to May, John was in good spirits and was considering joining his former partner in Louisiana. Art Garfunkel recalled a conversation he had with John around this time when Lennon was asking him about his feelings regarding a reunion with "his" Paul. Garfunkel had the impression that Lennon was seriously considering reestablishing a musical partnership with McCartney. However, Yoko decided it was time for John to "...come back home." May was devastated when Lennon told her he decided it was time for him to return to Ono. I get the impression that Yoko would have made things difficult for John who was desperately trying to gain US citizenship. It's hard not to wonder what might have been had John got on that airplane with Pang to New Orleans. Musical history would have been very different.
(This is Tom, not Sandra.) I'm so glad George and John got together and bonded again before 1980. May Pang was the best woman for John. Yoko was just plain selfish!!!! If John hadn't got back with Yoko, he would still be alive today, l bet. He and Paul would've most likely recorded music again and the Beatles most likely would have gotten back together, even if they just got together to do "The Anthology" records and film.
May should have been John's true love, not Yoko. If May was there from the beginning, her influence would have been so much more healthy for John and his son. May is truly a beautiful person.
The stupidest and most presumptuous thing I've ever heard. May's cool, but never in a million years could she (or did she ever) inspire the songs Yoko did, nor did she light his brain on fire. She was never ever the creative muse to Lennon that Yoko was, and that's what he was after. He left Cynthia for the same exact reason. Listen to " Bless You" (written for Yoko) and then listen to "Surprise Surprise" (written for May on the same album). He only ever wrote one song inspired by May and it kinda sucks. Compare that to the scores of classics that he wrote because of her: "Jealous Guy", "Oh My Love", "Don't Let Me Down", "Julia" (was in part written about her), "I'm Losing You", "Bless You", etc.
@@noelnewlon Wow, you've got it bad, living vicariously through celebrities, lol. Yeah, I'm full of it; full of actual examples to back up what I say. Sorry you can't handle the truth, Noel? And by the way, diaperboy? Why don't you parry back with all the examples of classic songs May inspired? Please, make me laugh! EVEN WHEN HE WAS WITH MAY, he was writing songs about Yoko! ("Bless You"). You're a funny one. Give Noel a Beatle book for Christmas, he thinks he knows something, lol.
May speaks extremely well. She is level headed, precise, has rxcellent recall and holds a straight shooting conversation. Yoko on the other hand speaks in a highly bizarre way. She speaks in parables and metaphors and nothing is straightforward you never know what she's actually talking about... However, from watching the film and from others accounts she can be very diabolical... So the bazaar tangential speech must be an act.. or else she's just a mad woman and John had an equally as bizarre susceptibility to her.. It seems Yoko was unable to manipulate anyone else.. all the rest of the Beatles song through her and disliked her and basically cut her off... The musician that she had an affair with saw right through her and cut her off immediately... May knew Yoko was off but truly fell in love with John . Unless John was somehow unhappy being as public and engaged with the Rich and famous clique that May brought him him out into and kept him in public exposure. I think if you listen to double fantasy.. you hear someone who embraced privacy
John was already into politics before he met Yoko. He was speaking about the Vietnam War in interviews before. It is true that Yoko most likely influenced his decision to speak out more on women's rights, but then Yoko does things like force her female assistant into a relationship with her husband. It's kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
@@JTCurtisMusicAccording to May. Always two sides of the story. Maybe Yoko just wanted her as his assistant? Either way, May said no. But it was John who hit on & used her.
I was amused that John liked Billy Swan's "I Can Help" so much as it's such a Ringo sound-a-like. Ringo was hot at that time, briefly, so the idea of trying to sound like him is funny, at least to me!
I HOPE MAY IS TELLING THE TRUTH .AND NOT SAYING WHAT'S SHES SAYING OR WROTE THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE FOR THE MONEY.I KIND OF BELIEVE HER.SHE SEEMS GENUINE.☯️☮️🙏🕊🦋🐬🌻🌻🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹REST IN PEACE JOHN GODBLESS YOU AMEN🌹🌻🌷🕊🦋
It’s like she was John’s life coach. As if her role was to bring him back to earth. She talks about things like getting closure on his divorce to Cynthia as a task to get done and check the box. That’s organization and prioritizing!
@@doreekaplan2589 Ono arranged for Pang to be his companion during The Lost Weekend so Lennon didn’t pursue her just so he wouldn’t be alone. He would have been w/females anyway during his separation with Ono as surely he wouldn’t have been celibate. And using Pang for what exactly-they both were together while it lasted. If anything Lennon could have led her on as how are they looking for a house then all of a sudden go back to Ono. He was drawn back to her for some reason that’s not easy for everyone to understand as her overall reputation is not a loving & giving one. I don’t think the consensus is most thought she was a great Woman. People get vibes in combination with what’s already been documented for years on film, interviews & books so it would be clear to see if most were impressed as the good vibes would transcend to be felt by most if that were the case but it’s not.
Riddle me this. May and John were together umtil April 13th, 1975. Yet Sean Lennon was born October 9th 1975. John lived in LA with May when Sean would have been conceived. Yoko was 45 when Sean was born and had several miscarriages previously. I think May was Sean's birth mom and Yoko adopted him. New York has strick laws regarding keeping adopt records sealed. May has always been allowed to talk about John, while Yoko has sued others to keep them from doing so. Having a child born in the USA and thus a citizen of the USA would help John's immigration struggle. It was around the time Sean was born that John git his Green Card. I don't know if Yoko had US citizenship, after all she was born in Japan. But May was from Hawaii, so she had US citizenship. Maybe John and May had a baby to get John his Green Card and give Yoko the baby by John she'd always wanted. Someone I know was born in a US hospital in 1976 at 6 and a half months and to be in an incubator for 3 months. So for Yoko to be Sean's mom, the earliest Sean could have been conceived was early April, meaning he was birn at 6 months. So Sean would have needed to be in the hospital in an incubator for 2 or 3 months. Yet Yoko and Sean supposedly left the hospital right away. If adopted in New York the birth date can be changed, so making the birth date Jihns birthday was easy. A friend adopted in New York found birth family through DNA testing and found out his birth date had been changed. Looking at Sean he looks more like May than Yoko to me.
When May said John attended the Nassau Coliseum show in 1974 and she and John stood in the wings, the obvious question to ask was Why didnt John appear on stage with George during that show just as he did the month before with Elton at MSG?
Because Elton made a deal with a John that if "Whatever Gets you Through the Night" became a number one hit, John would perform with him live. George and John had no such arrangement and I'm not so sure George would have been comfortable with him being on stage anyway.
@@JTCurtisMusic Perhaps but you should have asked her. BTW, i attended the shows at MSG 12/20/74 and after the show John was at the party George gave to end the tour. However, they had a very testy argument the night before, confirmed by May with George screaming at John " Where were you when I needed you??? Julian became the liason and carried a message from George that all is forgiven. One can assume that George dam well knew John and May were in the wings in Long Island and probably would have welcomed him on the stage but Lennon was paranoid and took off with May, You were not born when all this went down but I remember it very clearly. Everyone in MSG was anticipating a Beatles reunion for the final show.
@@brianking1656 I played George Harrison on Broadway and did quite a lot of extensive research about him from this time and to the best of my research, I think George was trying to distance himself from the Beatle thing as much as possible. Yeah there were plenty of offers for Beatle reunions but they never came together on it (no pun intended). All of these reunion rumours were just that (rumours). John and Paul had thought about playing SNL but they didn't end up doing that. Bangladesh was a different situation because George was trying to raise as much money as possible for the cause, which would have benefited from John being onstage. But this was George's tour on his terms and I don't really see what John would have done with him onstage. One of John's songs? Why would George want to do that? And for that matter why would John? John and Elton had a single out together so it made sense. It's easy to say "You weren't born yet so I know more than you," but in actuality perspective can clear up a lot of confusion.
@@JTCurtisMusic I wasnt suggesting that I know more than you JT only that I was there and witnessed certain things and information which I can share. BTW, George did a version of In My Life which they could have performed together. However, I did read that JL was furious when he heard that George had changed the words in the last verse to I love God more. Suffice to say both men were complex people just like Roger Waters and David Gilmour or Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel or Graham Nash and David Crosby. All had big ego's but deep down cared for each other.
@@brianking1656 As someone who's been on tours, I can tell you that what you see in person in public can be VERY different than what's happening backstage. Sometimes DRASTICALLY different. I did a whole review of Dark Horse and mentioned the tour in my review of it: ruclips.net/video/hR0dlQkDGmY/видео.html
Hello JT I wonder what you think about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for each year, someone missing? -I'm sure it does- smells like business. All your History of rock music are sooo entertaining, funny, your Dad was great, and so your crazy lovely friends, take care and thanks so much!!!💋💋💋
The Beatles left us with a good library of music that will survive for years. The other songs from Anthology were weak. I think Paul is making a mistake recreating that sound with computers or what have you. As he said. Let It Be.
You might want to try knowing what you're babbling about: he has not used AI to do anything other than CLEAN UP THE NOISE on John's vocal, on the upcoming Beatle track "Now And Then". He used the de-noising technology that Peter Jackson had come up with for "Get Back". So calm down.
Does anyone know if there was any mention of the documentary UK release date? I don't want to watch the interview before I've watched the documentary so I don't spoil it for myself.
Imagine if John had stayed with May, and started writing again with Paul. It makes me wanna cry!
No, he couldn't stay with May - she had no drugs. John had money and Yoko had drugs. A match made in heaven!
I think May Pang love to John is sincere from the bottom of her heart.
She's amazing. I just love May. A genuinely good person.
Probably, a kinder & gentler soul than Yoko.
I finally got to see May's movie about a month or so ago. And I was pleasantly surprised with how much stuff I didn't know about the Lost Weekend.....and those last years of Lennon's life. Great interview with her too!
Documentaries about John just skip over the May years, like they never happened! I'm so glad this is out!
That's exactly why May wanted to do this. FInally the truth is out and not being revised by Yoko and her BS.
Was not "years"
That's because they're all overseen by Yoko. I don't watch her stuff. I don't hate her, just meh. Heavy edits.
@@glynjones7158 Yoko has a nasty habit of rewriting history ..
I expected to enjoy it, but May's film actually exceeded my expectations. Awesome documentary with wonderful, rare glimpses of John. 👍
Your speakers are staring at me..... 0_0;.....I wish John had stayed with May, too. I've always found Yoko's control over John abhorrent, and May seems a lot more mellow.
22:50 Cynthia Lennon backs this up in her book. She said, in early days, young George followed them EVERYWHERE and it annoyed her, as they wanted to be alone sometimes, being a young teenage couple. But young George worshipped Lennon.
She's a doll; such a New Yorker. She sounds like Woody Allen... I'm glad she's had all these great experiences, and is still able to create interesting content to share about those fabulous years. I hope she's around for a few more decades, so she can release even more details as time goes by...
Indeed! May is the real deal. 👍
Thank you May for all the memories and specially for being there for John. John was my neighbour in England
Wow! Neighbour? Please tell.
On Menlove Ave, in Liverpool?
She is lovely, I like how he talks about John in the present. Instead of "Johns was". And the fact here, and in other interviews, she allways resisted, no way John or Yoko arranging the relationship wanted just her. She seems a sweet and good hearted woman. I would have been nice a happy anding for her and John Lennon. I hope she wasnt hurt to much and managed to move on swiftly. wow 25:09 very powerfull

This is the story of a true meeting of hearts and minds not choreographed and edited for the press the genuine fondness still shines through .May is a shining spirit . Thank you ....
LMFAO. People still pretending May was the great love of his life, how hilarious. I love May, but it's written all over her (and in her books!) why John didn't stay with her. All you have to do is listen to all the songs he wrote about Yoko, and the one song he wrote about May (Surprise Surprise) to know that the feelings weren't nearly as deep (or as mutual). She wasn't an artist; Yoko was. There's no substitute for a meeting of creative minds. That's why he left Cynthia, that's why he didn't stay with May. He was with her while he was a drunk, living with a bunch of other rock stars who had similarly ditched their wives. The idea it was some "golden time" is pretty hilarious.
@@TTM9691 Because, it’s so simple, Yoko was watching them the entire time and decided when they would come together as a pretend couple and when it was also decided by Yoko when they were done. Basically when Yoko was running out of John’s money, which she was using up to record her own music and songs. She came up to them one day and said “ this is over and you’re never going to be able to be with one another again.” That was it for him. No more Love in his life. No more going out seeing his friends and best friend Paul, other friends that they hung out with as a group, at the Whiskey 🥃, and the Rainbow 🌈 Room.
Seeing his little boy Shannon. All gone. That’s why she tried over and over to make sure that she was going to give him a son on his birthday. That wasn’t an easy task to accomplish on purpose, losing babies, just to get things right and on John’s birthday. Baby was born early and an addict. Which nearly got him taken away from them. They took him away from the hospital and off they went. It’s amazing that he survived!
Then John became a stay-at-home father. Good thing that he did. He did well. Despite what others might think and say about him. John was a good man. There’s no reason for bullying anyone anymore. Those times are over gone and good riddance to all of that. The world would be a much harsher place if it weren’t for the fact that the Beatles had come along. Love to the Beatles and their music and songs! You all are so amazing, thank you so very much for sharing with us all! The love ❤️ and the sharing will always go on and on forever! ❤️🩷💛🧡💚🩵💙💜
Huh....he never told anyone she meant a thing to him, gave her nothing , did not have a home with her....c'mon

What’s hillarious is the relationship between Lennon & Ono being the love story of the century
@@revrotunda3206 Number one: learn to spell English and number two: it's not "either or". You obviously are a mediocrity who is addicted to myth. There is no such thing as "love story of the century". The only thing that should concern you is the music that YOU enjoyed which was directly influenced by that relationship. It makes no difference at all whether Lennon had "issues" - EVERY relationship is made up of people dealing with their mommy and daddy issues - or whatever bug you have up your ass about somebody who you never even met and how they lived their lives. Your only contract with John Lennon is the music that he gave you, and some bits of film and stuff you can read and look at. And when it comes to that criteria, Yoko is WAY more valuable to John Lennon's artistic life than May Pang ever was, and that's all there is to it. Do I need to list all the songs, Rotund One?
I love May. ❤
What a pity that John didn't stick with May.
He really did have a built-in self destruct tendency.
The Lennon estate (Yoko) has always glossed over John's marriage to Cynthia and his time with May Pang. I'm glad this story is being told.
She's incredible. So brave and honest. My heart goes out to her ❤ Cyra xxxx
As a fellow New Yorker I LOVE seeing a hippie Asian American woman with an old school Noo Yawk accent!
May is so freaking cool. I have listened to a lot of interviews with may.
I know it might seem conspiratorial or crazy but I have always thought that there was something strange about John going with yoko to be hypnotized into no longer smoking cigarettes anymore and suddenly he is back with yoko...it makes me wonder if he wanted to stay with May and he was tricked into going back with Yoko.
She seemed to have a way to suddenly get John..same thing that happened with Cynthia Lennon and then with May..
Anyway I love May.
That’s what happens when two people have an undeniable spiritual connection. She brought out John Lennon, Artist. They’re legend.
@@kathygrosvenor4464do you mean yoko and John had a spiritual connection? I think they did as well. But I also think there was something else going on.
Yoko was a master manipulator
In other interviews may said that John didn't want to leave her, but she sent Paul to Las Vegas to feel the Lennon, pang out, and she said something about Lennon was having problems with immigration so it would be better to get back with yoko, I think if he had stayed with may she was an American being born in America he might not have had to fight for the rights to stay in America, and we all know how that turned out.
@@Dcs.234 100% How can people not see that? She's a narcissist.
I fully expected this to be just like the weird Al video with a fake interview so I was very surprised
I had the great pleasure of meeting May way back at a Beatles convention in Connecticut. She was beautiful, adorable and very sweet and kind! Can't wait to watch this!
I was at that convention and got a nice kiss on the cheek from her. ❤
Great interview, man. I gotta see this movie now! I mean, she was so young when they were together, and she had such great intuition and understanding about what John needed. I guess she understood family, no matter if you’re related or not and how being with them makes you whole. You can make up with your brothers, get on new footing- or OLD footing as it were. John just happened to get involved with a sociopath who mined him for his deepest fears and insecurities to keep control. It’s an obvious thing to recognize if you know what to look for, but he just didn’t KNOW. Anyway, great work, JT! It was a pleasure to watch!
I just love her. Wish they’d stayed together!!!!
God bless May.
Wow, amazing! Didn't think you'd get THE actual May Pang! 🤯
Why? She's one of the most easiest interviews to get. I mean, she's at practically every Beatlefest. I met her in the 80s at one of 'em and I know she's done a million ever since. If you look up her name, you'll find ten thousand interviews with her.
@@TTM9691 And so??? You can rest assured that people seek May out for interviews and not the other way around...
@@flashflame4952 Um, no dummy, that's now it works. She's a professional Beatle pundit, she's been at like every Beatlefest since the early 80s, she makes her available and makes it known she's available. And when she does interviews like this, she's promoting her multiple books, and her brand. Oh, and by the way: this is EXACTLY why John went back to Yoko. He could smell that a mile away. He didn't want a Beatlefan for a girlfriend.. I like May, in fact I love her! But please, don't jump down my throat because I'm laughing at someone marveling at "actually getting a May Pang interview". As I said: it's not exactly a rare interview. Jane Asher has NEVER spoken a WORD about Paul McCartney. THAT would be something to marvel at. But of course, Jane has her own thing so she doesn't NEED to talk about Paul McCartney. May's thing is being a professional ex-girlfriend. Sorry you can't deal with that, you sycophantic imbecile.
This is a great interview! May Pang seems so lovely and down to earth. She was so good for John, especially where Julian was concerned. I would like to believe John would still be with us if he had stayed with May. 💗 I look forward to seeing this movie!
I was just listening to this with a bit of curiosity, but when May started telling about the meeting with George it blew me away. I don't know if other people knew this here, but George almost got the Beatles to reunite for the Bangla Desh concert and even Paul was interested (but wanted to know how John reacted to this first). John said 'yes' but then he insisted that Yoko will 'perform' with them. George said 'absolutely not' and Lennon walked away from the project. Paul then said 'if John's not there it wouldn't be the Beatles, and it wouldn't come off well' and stepped back as well. I wonder if this is what George meant.
Well, what can we say? All these years, that incredible life experience and May is incredibly sensible, friendly and humble person. Just the opposite of Yoko. What May lived through with John was really hard to bear.
She was just so lucky to have had to continue living without him. Listen to and look atCythia and Julian
Thanks JT as a huge fan of my Beatles I enjoyed the whole interview ❤❤❤
I just learned about it! I can't believe I missed it in theaters!
Now I have to wait till a dvd comes out !
This is not shown in major theatres but the artsy smaller ones
Great interview! I got a much better sense of May and May + John in this 30 minutes. Thank you. ❤
I thanked May for not only sharing her truth with the rest of us but always thanking her for taking her camera with her. Sharing her photos with everyone is just so cool of her to do that. During their time together, May got John to see his old friends, make some freaking amazing music and the most important: Spending time with Julian who did not want to travel alone to Florida to see J&M so Cynthia traveled with him. May was good for John. May wasn't into tatot cards, numerology, and all the seriously ridiculous things that Yoko was into. John and May started to look for a house together out in Long Island. That's when Yoko the control freak realized that John and May were serious about their relationship. Yoko had to pull John back because if they divorced, Yoko wouldn't be the one to get all his money, etc. In fact, she had John redo his will, etc and John being pussy whipped to some degree just signed it. Read the books about it...there's tons of them out there and most of them are truthful...
Ono was reportedly having an affair w/Sam Green at the time The Lost Weekend Started which would explain why she arranged for Lennon to be away w/Pang as her & Lennon weren’t getting along. Just how much Lennon knew is not clear-he supposedly liked Green as he deemed in his will that if him & Yoko should die at the same time, Green would be Sean’s legal guardian. But on the other hand, since it’s said Ono had a will reconfigurated not too long before Lennon was murdered, that sounds like her wording in that stipulation-in the event I should die with Yoko at the same time…..Who would count on that or believe that highly unlikely thing would happen. She also reportedly was interested in marrying Green but he wasn’t interested in that but had he been, Yoko would have obviously not received ALL of Lennon’s money in the settlement. But then by the time Lennon died or before, Ono was with another Sam, Havedtoy, of whom she immediately had move in at the Dakota.
@@revrotunda3206 You are correct! She did have John do another will...Cutting out everyone except herself! She is a dangerous sociopath and has all the traits of one. Plus she was also hot in the pants for session musician David Spinozza...I don't care what anyone else says, she ruined him.
Glad she did her own story and gave you the opportunity to ask her questions. Def going to watch this👍
It's such a joy hearing May's stories ^w^
After this video and finishing the Pink Floyd series, it would be very nice if you’d do a series on John’s solo career.
And then he HAS to do Paul!
As long as his Yoko worship is cut out. Focus on John's music only would be best.
@@sashizakura9124 but that’s a massive part of his music and also some of his best love songs
Such a Beatle is John! Who would create THREE wonderful albums, such great songs, in his "Lost weekend"? Only John could do it. On his "vacations" in India, he produces thirdy new songs! This boy that I love. His genius name: John. Thank you May for take care of him for us. Little Princess.
His music at that time was on fire
I adore May Pang, ever since I was young. Maybe as a fellow NYer, it's just the way she speaks. It's clear and direct and strong. I always appreciated that she helped Julian and John come together again, and that she was friends with Cynthia, John's first wife. Even though I obviously don't know any of these people, it seems that it was a good era in Lennon's life, which was cut too short. May seems like a person you want to grab coffee with and chat.
May has always come across sweet, kind and HONEST.
I believe she truly LOVES John and had HIS best Interests in her ❤....
That "John...John..." in #9 Dream, I always assumed was Yoko.
Never knew either that it was Pang whispering in #9 dream. Always assumed it was Ono, too.
Me, too. Mind blown!
Yoko tried to make it appear like it was her(there's a misleading video on Dream #9). But, it's May, all the way.
May’s and John’s story ( a love story) deserves to be told.John was a part of history that should be known as moment in it, and I’m sure there’s so much more then just John and Yoko. Thanks May
May Pang was thrown into the spot light. She has handled it with class. In a different world May Pang would have been much better for John Lennon. And....let's face it no pun intended...May was way better looking. 😲
she was a beauty
I WISH I COULD WATCH THIS DAMN DOCUMENTARY 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
That recounting of John and George nose to nose is so interesting. George & John were like that exactly!
Great interview & some very good questions that were answered by May.
Nice interview. May has got to be one of the nicest people on earth. I met her in New York recently, where she arranged for me to see her film.
I think May was absolutely gorgeous back in the day..
Bland looking as hell. NEVER good looking, school girl book worm but she seem very nice. Not respectful because who would announce to the world "I had sex with John Lennon!"?
I think it is very fortuitous that Get Back came out and now we have May Pang's movie. I feel we are at last able to put the pieces together and understand better what really went on. You don't get straight info from the inarticulate abd dishonest Yoko. I should gave put it together before, but John had a Borderline Personality Disorder. Suddenly his extreme behaviors make sense to me.
I saw the Pang movie on the BIG screen in PA this past April. It was showing one day at one time but I saw it. The theater had about 60 people because there was not a lot of publicity. on it. Some attending felt more would have been there but it was not promoted.
Yoko was screaming on stage like a lunatic!🤪🤪🤪
I know lmao 😂
Poor Cynthia as soon has the Beatles made it big - she was gone they made sure she faded in to the oblivion bless her. And what is worse they were all loved up with their new beau's in front of her. And wrote all new love songs for them. 😢 She was mugged off.
very interesting of course I'm a big Beatles fan but I will admit I never heard the story before
What a beautiful interview.
I admire her so much and loved the film!
I love May, she's so well spoken and cool. Funny that her NY accent got stronger with the years too haha.
I watched the movie documentary it was fantastic 👏 well done, May Pang ❤❤❤
May is very much more endearing than Yoko, and was clearly very good for John, but I don't think John would have returned to Yoko if he really didn't want to, and I really do believe he loved her. Plus being Sean's father and being an integral part of a stable family was clearly very good for him, especially given his own background. It all sounds pretty complex, and it's too easy for any of us to judge. This is especially why this movie is so special and so important. I think May has done something quite wonderful.
Also, the split love/divided devotions scenario would have resonated very strongly with John's childhood parenting experience. I think Yoko may have preferred to keep things mysterious and cryptic, but May's provided some large and very significant jigsaw pieces here. Through her courage, generosity, and insight, a clearer, truer picture emerges.
May Pang actually was very good for John.
Yoko knew that as well.
John lost Weekend lasted 18 months.
John seemed more relaxed.
John besides Mind Games
Walls and Bridges ( which I love )
Rock n Roll.
Pussycats with Nilson which John produced.
Also John did some work with David Bowie Young Americans.
John was active.
It was Wild at Times out in LA.
Paul & Ringo visited.
John attended George's Concert.
Fate would have been different if
John Stayed with May.
I believe The Beatles would have done something.
Well Fate is a funny thing.
Yoko was a Dominate Woman.
Emotional Sponge.
Yoko was a Game Changer for sure.
Did Yoko split the Beatles?
No but she didn't help the situation.
Ball and Chain.
Loved the movie. Watched it several episodes I too wish he’d stayed with May. So loving and vital.
Gives A Whole New Meaning To The Song Come First Of May
32:00 Bob Halligan also wrote Helix’ biggest hit ROCK YOU. I was the drummer in that band from 97-2004.
I was all of 15 when John took off with May Pang for the West Coast, and I remember well reading all the tabloids, and hearing the news of John’s escapades in LA. I don’t think Yoko was the best influence for John.
LOL. So you hear about John's escapades in Los Angeles.....and you blame them on YOKO?? LMFAO. You are so hilarious. Hey doofus: your only contract with John Lennon was his music. And Yoko inspired COUNTLESS great songs. May inspired a single half-baked, not particularly memorable song ("Surprise Surprise"). Compare that to "Bless You", 'Oh My Love", "Don't Let Me Down", "Julia" (which he said was partly about Yoko, "ocean child"), etc etc........You should get on your KNEES and THANK Yoko for inspiring such classics. (Not to mention influencing the lyrics of "Imagine", one of his most enduring songs).
I read her book. It was great. I didn’t want him to go back to Yoko either. But the heart wants what heart wants.
Which book? She's got at least three out, maybe more. She's a professional ex-girlfriend, lol.
@@TTM9691had you had a life experience like hers, you'd not laugh at her
@@Bella-nt7ec What are you babbling about, Bella? Take your thumb out of your mouth and stop being a sycophant. I like May, I met her in the 80s. She's a professional ex-girlfriend, why are you whining to me about it? Go search her, you can find 15,000 interviews with her - usually long ones - stretching back to the 1980s. Her life experience appears to be spending decades talking about a fling she had in the 70s. She's not like Jane Asher, who has never once even mentioned McCartney in an interview, she's made it her life's work to remind everybody of this relationship she had with John Lennon every chance she gets. Give me a break. I can understand one book....but THREE??
@@TTM9691 she’s certainly kind and friendly, she was with John, she helped Cynthia come with Julian. Also Paul got to see John, he wanted that happen so much, I mean Paul did. That is, just the opposite that Ono did.
Btw these invectives, do yoko fans always do that?
I'm just going to say it. I have no use for Yoko. I wish she had never come into John's life.
I know that's a very harsh thing to say about a woman John loved. But, I also think John was somehow blind to a lot of Yoko's selfish manipulations.
During John's "Lost Weekend", according to Pang, Paul McCartney invited John and May to join them in New Orleans for a recording session.
Also according to May, John was in good spirits and was considering joining his former partner in Louisiana.
Art Garfunkel recalled a conversation he had with John around this time when Lennon was asking him about his feelings regarding a reunion with "his" Paul.
Garfunkel had the impression that Lennon was seriously considering reestablishing a musical partnership with McCartney.
However, Yoko decided it was time for John to "...come back home."
May was devastated when Lennon told her he decided it was time for him to return to Ono.
I get the impression that Yoko would have made things difficult for John who was desperately trying to gain US citizenship.
It's hard not to wonder what might have been had John got on that airplane with Pang to New Orleans.
Musical history would have been very different.
great interview
I like May, too. She has a great smile and an engaging manner. She was good for John, I think, i.e. supportive.
I once heard he was happy with her.
Great that you managed to a video without a Pink Floyd reference.
(This is Tom, not Sandra.)
I'm so glad George and John got together and bonded again before 1980. May Pang was the best woman for John. Yoko was just plain selfish!!!! If John hadn't got back with Yoko, he would still be alive today, l bet. He and Paul would've most likely recorded music again and the Beatles most likely would have gotten back together, even if they just got together to do "The Anthology" records and film.
May should have been John's true love, not Yoko. If May was there from the beginning, her influence would have been so much more healthy for John and his son. May is truly a beautiful person.
The stupidest and most presumptuous thing I've ever heard. May's cool, but never in a million years could she (or did she ever) inspire the songs Yoko did, nor did she light his brain on fire. She was never ever the creative muse to Lennon that Yoko was, and that's what he was after. He left Cynthia for the same exact reason. Listen to " Bless You" (written for Yoko) and then listen to "Surprise Surprise" (written for May on the same album). He only ever wrote one song inspired by May and it kinda sucks. Compare that to the scores of classics that he wrote because of her: "Jealous Guy", "Oh My Love", "Don't Let Me Down", "Julia" (was in part written about her), "I'm Losing You", "Bless You", etc.
@@TTM9691 You're full of it.
@@noelnewlon Wow, you've got it bad, living vicariously through celebrities, lol. Yeah, I'm full of it; full of actual examples to back up what I say. Sorry you can't handle the truth, Noel? And by the way, diaperboy? Why don't you parry back with all the examples of classic songs May inspired? Please, make me laugh! EVEN WHEN HE WAS WITH MAY, he was writing songs about Yoko! ("Bless You"). You're a funny one. Give Noel a Beatle book for Christmas, he thinks he knows something, lol.
John should have stayed with May. She was a wonderful influence on him.
She’s amazing. Thoughtful. I’m glad John had some fun with her. What a story.
John earned a position of great influence over humanity and he used that position for good. Damn few in that club. The rest of it is us talking shit.
Bravo Doc !!!!👍🏼👏🙌🫡
Best (and by far the most accurate) comment on this page.
She really is a beautiful lady 🙏🌹
May speaks extremely well. She is level headed, precise, has rxcellent recall and holds a straight shooting conversation. Yoko on the other hand speaks in a highly bizarre way. She speaks in parables and metaphors and nothing is straightforward you never know what she's actually talking about... However, from watching the film and from others accounts she can be very diabolical... So the bazaar tangential speech must be an act.. or else she's just a mad woman and John had an equally as bizarre susceptibility to her.. It seems Yoko was unable to manipulate anyone else.. all the rest of the Beatles song through her and disliked her and basically cut her off... The musician that she had an affair with saw right through her and cut her off immediately... May knew Yoko was off but truly fell in love with John . Unless John was somehow unhappy being as public and engaged with the Rich and famous clique that May brought him him out into and kept him in public exposure.
I think if you listen to double fantasy.. you hear someone who embraced privacy
I really want to watch the Lost Weekend, a love story, but I can't find it anyplace.
Prime Video, rent or buy.
Jihn never would have gotten so involved in politics & women's rights if it hadn't been for Yoko!
John was already into politics before he met Yoko. He was speaking about the Vietnam War in interviews before. It is true that Yoko most likely influenced his decision to speak out more on women's rights, but then Yoko does things like force her female assistant into a relationship with her husband. It's kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
@@JTCurtisMusicAccording to May. Always two sides of the story. Maybe Yoko just wanted her as his assistant? Either way, May said no. But it was John who hit on & used her.
Realllllly want to see this film can’t seem to find it in the UK
Thank you so much for being do gracious to May as you Interviewed her!
I was amused that John liked Billy Swan's "I Can Help" so much as it's such a Ringo sound-a-like. Ringo was hot at that time, briefly, so the idea of trying to sound like him is funny, at least to me!
What I like about this film is that Pang is less ex-girlfriend in it than historian.
Have you heard May Pang on the One Sweet Dream podcast?
I HOPE MAY IS TELLING THE TRUTH .AND NOT SAYING WHAT'S SHES SAYING OR WROTE THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE FOR THE MONEY.I KIND OF BELIEVE HER.SHE SEEMS GENUINE.☯️☮️🙏🕊🦋🐬🌻🌻🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹REST IN PEACE JOHN GODBLESS YOU AMEN🌹🌻🌷🕊🦋
It’s like she was John’s life coach. As if her role was to bring him back to earth. She talks about things like getting closure on his divorce to Cynthia as a task to get done and check the box. That’s organization and prioritizing!
More likely he used her, not liking to be alone ever.
@@doreekaplan2589
Ono arranged for Pang to be his companion during The Lost Weekend so Lennon didn’t pursue her just so he wouldn’t be alone. He would have been w/females anyway during his separation with Ono as surely he wouldn’t have been celibate. And using Pang for what exactly-they both were together while it lasted. If anything Lennon could have led her on as how are they looking for a house then all of a sudden go back to Ono. He was drawn back to her for some reason that’s not easy for everyone to understand as her overall reputation is not a loving & giving one. I don’t think the consensus is most thought she was a great Woman. People get vibes in combination with what’s already been documented for years on film, interviews & books so it would be clear to see if most were impressed as the good vibes would transcend to be felt by most if that were the case but it’s not.
Beautiful kind lady. John should of stuck with her.
Just great, where can I see the film..? Bw
XxxR
It was sad for May Pang 😢 Yoko couldn't lose John to such a young beautiful May Pang .😅
You're so lovely May
Love, love alls
When can we see this documentary in LA ?
Riddle me this. May and John were together umtil April 13th, 1975. Yet Sean Lennon was born October 9th 1975. John lived in LA with May when Sean would have been conceived. Yoko was 45 when Sean was born and had several miscarriages previously. I think May was Sean's birth mom and Yoko adopted him. New York has strick laws regarding keeping adopt records sealed. May has always been allowed to talk about John, while Yoko has sued others to keep them from doing so. Having a child born in the USA and thus a citizen of the USA would help John's immigration struggle. It was around the time Sean was born that John git his Green Card. I don't know if Yoko had US citizenship, after all she was born in Japan. But May was from Hawaii, so she had US citizenship. Maybe John and May had a baby to get John his Green Card and give Yoko the baby by John she'd always wanted. Someone I know was born in a US hospital in 1976 at 6 and a half months and to be in an incubator for 3 months. So for Yoko to be Sean's mom, the earliest Sean could have been conceived was early April, meaning he was birn at 6 months. So Sean would have needed to be in the hospital in an incubator for 2 or 3 months. Yet Yoko and Sean supposedly left the hospital right away. If adopted in New York the birth date can be changed, so making the birth date Jihns birthday was easy. A friend adopted in New York found birth family through DNA testing and found out his birth date had been changed. Looking at Sean he looks more like May than Yoko to me.
Interesting theory
Yoko was a US citiźen by another marriage
When May said John attended the Nassau Coliseum show in 1974 and she and John stood in the wings, the obvious question to ask was Why didnt John appear on stage with George during that show just as he did the month before with Elton at MSG?
Because Elton made a deal with a John that if "Whatever Gets you Through the Night" became a number one hit, John would perform with him live. George and John had no such arrangement and I'm not so sure George would have been comfortable with him being on stage anyway.
@@JTCurtisMusic Perhaps but you should have asked her. BTW, i attended the shows at MSG 12/20/74 and after the show John was at the party George gave to end the tour. However, they had a very testy argument the night before, confirmed by May with George screaming at John " Where were you when I needed you???
Julian became the liason and carried a message from George that all is forgiven. One can assume that George dam well knew John and May were in the wings in Long Island and probably would have welcomed him on the stage but Lennon was paranoid and took off with May, You were not born when all this went down but I remember it very clearly. Everyone in MSG was anticipating a Beatles reunion for the final show.
@@brianking1656 I played George Harrison on Broadway and did quite a lot of extensive research about him from this time and to the best of my research, I think George was trying to distance himself from the Beatle thing as much as possible. Yeah there were plenty of offers for Beatle reunions but they never came together on it (no pun intended). All of these reunion rumours were just that (rumours). John and Paul had thought about playing SNL but they didn't end up doing that.
Bangladesh was a different situation because George was trying to raise as much money as possible for the cause, which would have benefited from John being onstage. But this was George's tour on his terms and I don't really see what John would have done with him onstage. One of John's songs? Why would George want to do that? And for that matter why would John? John and Elton had a single out together so it made sense.
It's easy to say "You weren't born yet so I know more than you," but in actuality perspective can clear up a lot of confusion.
@@JTCurtisMusic I wasnt suggesting that I know more than you JT only that I was there and witnessed certain things and information which I can share. BTW, George did a version of In My Life which they could have performed together. However, I did read that JL was furious when he heard that George had changed the words in the last verse to I love God more. Suffice to say both men were complex people just like Roger Waters and David Gilmour or Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel or Graham Nash and David Crosby. All had big ego's but deep down cared for each other.
@@brianking1656 As someone who's been on tours, I can tell you that what you see in person in public can be VERY different than what's happening backstage. Sometimes DRASTICALLY different.
I did a whole review of Dark Horse and mentioned the tour in my review of it:
ruclips.net/video/hR0dlQkDGmY/видео.html
Hello JT I wonder what you think about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for each year, someone missing? -I'm sure it does- smells like business. All your History of rock music are sooo entertaining, funny, your Dad was great, and so your crazy lovely friends, take care and thanks so much!!!💋💋💋
I could care less about it.
Thank you for the kind words.
The Beatles left us with a good library of music that will survive for years.
The other songs from Anthology were weak. I think Paul is making a mistake recreating that sound with computers or what have you. As he said. Let It Be.
You might want to try knowing what you're babbling about: he has not used AI to do anything other than CLEAN UP THE NOISE on John's vocal, on the upcoming Beatle track "Now And Then". He used the de-noising technology that Peter Jackson had come up with for "Get Back". So calm down.
John surrounding himself with Asian ladies. He was inspirational in many ways.
may was much better for John then Yoko. why didn't he stay with her.
When can we watch this movie???
OF COURSE IT WAS PROLIFIC. HE WAS AWAY FROM THE WITCH.
Does anyone know if there was any mention of the documentary UK release date? I don't want to watch the interview before I've watched the documentary so I don't spoil it for myself.
May said there's some release news coming soon.
@@JTCurtisMusic Thanks!
Pity it was not May that married john she would have been a hundred times better than yoko
May Pang is a great gal.
Come First Of May Pang
Walls & Bridges was his best album. imho
