This was extremely well done for being something you pulled together, on your own, using only internet sources you had. I loved it, especially all the interviews with John and Harry which I'd never heard before!
Thank you for piecing this together... It helps make sense out of that whole "how did Harry lose his voice" mystery. John comes off here being very upfront, honest and caring about his friend. An ultra-interesting chapter.
"Don't Forget Me" is one of two songs I can think of that can literally make me cry, and has done so often. It's such a beautiful and heartbreaking song. (For what it's worth, Randy Newman's 'Marie" is the other. )
This is great. Very well done! Thanks for making this. I just visited Harry's grave a few weeks ago. I happened to be in the area. He was the anti-Rock star. He had the voice and the talent and just had fun. He was a kindred spirit with Lennon. They both even talked alike.
Great Job!!..I knew this stuff,,but forgot and didn't know..(if you know what I mean) Thanks for putting it together!Barry from NYC...I also met Harry at a "Beatlefest" when he was advocating to end handgun violence due to John Lennons assassination/murder. I asked him "what was Hope Lange really like?" He was confused then realized I was referring to when he guested on "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" He got a chuckle from that and asked to me to sit with him while he signed autographs and took donations for his cause. He was still depressed about John Lennon. I'm glad I was able to give him a laugh for all the joy he brought me!
Yes, so cool. Thanks for sharing that lovely story. Can you imagine living in a beach house with Lennon, Nilsson, Moon and others? Holy cow. Harry was one of my favorites, his voice can make me cry, or it can put me on top of the world. Heaven must have one hell of a rock band.
@@cuttinupthecarpet504 I am just not quite sure what to think of your comment. Is it an insult? Some kind of an odd complement in reference to my looks? And that laughing/crying emoji? I was puzzled as to what "ran a train on" meant so I looked it up. I was somehow saddened by its meaning. It gave me a very disappointing mental picture especially with that particular choice of emoji. So unless you have simply used an unfortunate choice of words, or maybe it's a common phrase where you come from or maybe it means something different than what I have found - you should think about this: How would YOU feel if a group of men - famous or not - " ran a train" on your mother, your sister, your daughter, your wife or perhaps YOU. How would that make you feel? So maybe that was a poor choice of words and emoji, yes?
Bless you Harry. You left us 15 years ago today but I will never forget the wonderful talks we had at Beatlefest. Thanks for being a compassionate person. RIP
Great Video. I bought this album when I was in school in Chicago. It's still my favorite Nisson record after 'Schmilsson'. I hated the cover but great album. The covers were well chosen. Originals "Don't forget Me" & :Black Sails" are very underrated. This would make a great biopic. Harry's vocals add a morning after weariness.
Very very good job, man. So nice to see all these things together from that period, from that album. Always loved Pussy Cats (as you can see on my profile picture ;-) Thanx a lot for sharing.
Wow.. Never saw this before. In your description you detailed what was, no doubt, a painstaking process to put this together, and I commend you for that. I used to have a Beatle channel and do edits to their songs, so I know what a job good editing can be. Thank you for taking the time to do this and for honoring Harry's talents and legacy through your channel. 😊
Great job with humorous edits that certainly are appropriate when you're telling tales of the Lost Weekend! Thanks for the time you spent creating! You just gave a fun 7 mins to this fan of both those dear, departed Pussy Cats
Thank you very much....a most entertaining 6 mins & 52 secs. Knew about the album but didn't know much.....other than the word DRugS is spelt out on the front cover 🤔 if you look carefully. Please do. More.
I am so grateful that John and Harry were such great friends. They had each other and it does sound like they were the best friends either had ever had.
They weren't best friends at all and as a matter of fact aside from when John was on his 18 month separation from Yoko is the most time they spent together . From 1974 to John's death they never saw each other . Plus the fact John didn't even go to Harry's wedding . Ringo was Harry's best friend it's a known fact and even was his best man at Harry's wedding.
@@cuttinupthecarpet504 then howcome all you ever hear about it “John and Harry “ this “John and Harry “ that?? I’ve never even heard about he and ringo being friends.
Look it up . As a matter of fact go and watch "everybody's talkin about harry" it's free on RUclips. Even Ringo when asked who is the one person you can always depend on he said without a second thought harry nilsson. John in his last interview in 1980 even says he has not seen or heard harry in years and doesn't even know where he is . They were never best freinds aside from the lost weekend . John lennon said he had to break all ties with harry because he partied too much . They never even spoke on the phone ever again from 74 to John's death .
@@EphemeralProductions if you like Harry Nilsson you gotta see that documentary it's amazing . I was wrong on the title it's called..." who is Harry Nilsson and why is everyone talking about him" the documentary covers everything and explains alot.
On the cover of the album, notice the kids blocks with D and S with the "rug" in between. Lennon, Star, Moon, and Nilsson. Surprised they didn't get each other killed.
I find Nilsson’s story endlessly fascinating - such a talented guy, but also such a self-sabotager. But, I adore the honesty of his music - Don’t Forget Me is a heart-rending song! For some more insight into the Lost Weekend, I can recommend Living The Beatles Legend by Kenneth Womack - based on Mal Evans’ unpublished memoirs. Mal was there, a good friend of John, Ringo, Moonie and Harry, and former Beatles’ road manager.
Nillsson..One the great singers of his time..Just looking at his face when he was much younger makes you know he had a tame and gentle soul. Ive been wondering...were the tragic suicides of the 2 badfinger guys who wrote his hit ¨without you¨ had any impact on how he led his life until his death?
Andy M I don't know for sure but Harry lost a lot of his friends and colleagues in the intervening years - Keith Moon, John Lennon etc - and that must have affected him very deeply. Whilst I think he eventually ditched the drugs in the 80s, the alcohol was never very far away.
Harry Nilsson Archive Thanks! I was in grade school in the 70's when he was quite popular then here in my country...together with the Hollies, Procol harum, etc. (Beatles too - but overrated)
I´m thinking of taking away the stuff from the studio where I´m recording my 3rd album, because we´re procrastinating and mixing too much and wasting too much time and we don´t seem to be able to advance anymore. Tough times, let me tell you...
I echo Digger's comments of two years ago - this tells the sad tale of the Pussy Cats period very well. It's a great album but Harry paid such a high price to do it. I had not previously realised that Paul McCartney joined the sessions briefly - did anything of his end up on the final record?
@@rockohale9858 Thanks for this. In the intervening years between posting my comment and now I've actually heard the 'Toot and a Snore' - it's pretty dreadful eh!😁. I always wished that Paul and Harry would have written together at some point but that wasn't going to happen and maybe for the best...
Lennon and Nilsson.. two geniuses, doesn't get any better than that.
This is the most cohesive piece about the Lost Weekend that I've see. Well done.
Ecgwald Thank you :D
This was extremely well done for being something you pulled together, on your own, using only internet sources you had. I loved it, especially all the interviews with John and Harry which I'd never heard before!
Thank you for this, I love anyone who loves Harry and John.
Thank you for piecing this together... It helps make sense out of that whole "how did Harry lose his voice" mystery. John comes off here being very upfront, honest and caring about his friend. An ultra-interesting chapter.
A screaming contest with John ended up hurting his vocal chords. He never recovered.
The producer no less getting the talent to blow out his million dollar voice. Only Lennon.
"Don't Forget Me" is one of two songs I can think of that can literally make me cry, and has done so often. It's such a beautiful and heartbreaking song. (For what it's worth, Randy Newman's 'Marie" is the other. )
It would be great to have a full documentary about their relationship, and also about the famous Lost Weekend.
May did a doc about the Lost Weekend, but it was only a limited release in theaters. It came out earlier this year I think.
Nilsson was one of the greats. And as fortune has it, the greatest usually go unrecognized by the general public.
This is great. Very well done! Thanks for making this. I just visited Harry's grave a few weeks ago. I happened to be in the area. He was the anti-Rock star. He had the voice and the talent and just had fun. He was a kindred spirit with Lennon. They both even talked alike.
where is he's grave
This was amazing, I am a Music documentary nerd, and this is incredibly well done! Great job.
This is gold, thanks. Harry losing his incredible voice was....tragic....
tragic.

Awesome. Going to see, "Everybody's Talkin': The Music of Harry Nilsson" on June 20th in San Diego! Can't wait.
This is really great. Feels like a small taste of the atmosphere that was
Thank you; have linked the video around to fans. Sure miss that musical genius. And John, too.
John knew full well how Harry lost his voice. Screaming contest. Always loved the D+rug+S under the table on the cover.
Very, Very well done. I thought it was a bonus on a remaster or something. You fooled me. Awesome job! Thanks very much!
Fantastic mini doc! clap clap clap clap!
Bless you Harry. You left us 15 years ago today but I will never forget the wonderful talks we had at Beatlefest. Thanks for being a compassionate person. RIP
This is great. Never knew this video existed and this is one of my go to vinyls that has been played dozens of times now.
The lost weekend is one of the most intresting subjects still steeped in mystery in John's life
Wonderful, disastrous. Thanks so much for creating/posting this. I've subscribed.
I always love hearing them talk it makes me smile and there music is amazing!!:) thanks !!

excellent. thankyou for that (am reading the nilsson bio)

Took Years but I finally found the Pussycats album. Have transferred it over to CD since then. If you give it a chance, it is a pretty good release.
2:03 " i ended up doing Harry" 🤣
I love this album. I purchased it in 1974. Still got it.
Love this.
Thank you!
Fantastic upload.
"Any fucking man. Let's go."

"When in doubt - f**k it!!!"
And I love the finished product ,.......
Nice job - thanks much

this its awesome dude....thanks,,
Lost weekend needs to be a movie
thanks for the video
This proves to me how much John Lennon liked Paul McCartney's music but couldn't admit it. Who was Nilsson channeling if not McCartney?
himself maybe?
We all must pass.....great songster. Harry channeling Harry too, tough times to draw from like John's Auntie..
Sorry but NO. Got that backwards.
Nope, Lennon knew the difference between a genius and nursery rhymes 😂
Harry was Harry. Unique. Paul is also unique
Well done!
Amazing ~ thank you !
Excellent! nice post.
Your music has lasted this long ! Time will not forget you

Not a favorite album of mine by any means. This however, is a fantastic video! Thanks for your work!
great video! the only gripe is i wished you showed the commercial somewhere in there
A true fan here
Well done
Cheers, thanks for watching
¡Magnífico!
On the front cover there is a D one side of the rug and S on the other.
Work it out folks.
Surprised the record company didn't notice.
My biggest regret re: this video is not including that fact. I knew it, I just forgot to mention it. Dammit!
Amazing🔥🔥💯💯🔥🔥💯💯

I really want to know more about that seemingly really fun period.
From the lennon side you can read May Pang's book "Loving John". It covers the recording of this album and their time living together. I liked it.
Was that house 461 Ocean Boulevard?
ACE MATE JOB MATE , LOVED IT!.. HAVE A BANANA!
Good doc!
Thanks
Awesome! :)
i listen to pussycats every day........since i was eight......when it came out....vinyl and eight track
Note the rug its got the block on each end D rug S may pang said brilliant
Good doc.
AWESOMENESS...
Is that Jesse Ed Davis????????????????????????????????? sitting behind HN and JL
Daniel Coffey At 3:00, yes, that’s Jesse Ed Davis
I never understood the meaning of the two blocks under the table, D & S
There’s a rug in between the d and the s... drugs
awesome!
I never knew this story about Harry that he lost his voice for good
