Now and Then Over five decades John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George, and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way to separate John’s vocals from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on for all four Beatles. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul George, and Ringo will get to make together.
All they had of this song was John's voice on a cassette. They added all the music and created the video from bits and pieces. By this time John and George had both been dead for a long time.
A viola player named Caroline Buckman who contributed to the recently released Beatles single, “Now and Then,” died without ever knowing that she played on a song by the famous group. According to CBC News, Buckman, who passed away in March of 2023 at age 48 after a battle with breast cancer, was among the string players enlisted by Paul McCartney to contribute to a session where the musicians purposely weren’t told about the track to keep secret the fact that it was to be for the supposed “last” Beatles song. The session took place in Los Angeles in 2022, and as McCartney explained in the recent documentary about the making of “Now and Then,” “We had to put the music out on the stands for the musicians, but we couldn’t tell them it was a new Beatles song. It was all a bit hush-hush. We pretended it was just something of mine.” Buckman can even be seen in footage that appears in the doc. When the news finally was revealed about the song, which was released on November 2, Buckman’s mother was informed that her daughter had actually played on a track by The Beatles. “She would have been delirious [with joy] about it,” Erika told CBC News. “It is sad [that she never knew, but] … I’m very proud.”
This song just starts and I get teary eyed. I loved your reaction to the song, I just wish your little girl would have said something. I would have been interested in what she really thought about it. Beautiful song by The Beatles.❤
Along with the release of the song and its music video, they also released a short documentary film about the making of Now And Then here on YT. Please do a reaction to it; it’s really entertaining and enlightening.
In the 90s Yoko gave several cassettes to Paul. Paul, George and Ringo got together and added their own voices and instrumentation to create "new" Beatles songs. However this song was too poor a recording and though they tried it was just too poor quality. The others were released as part of the Anthology releases. Then a couple years ago using the technology they developed for the Get Back documentary they were able to pull John's voice out perfectly, took George's guitar work from the previous attempt and developed this song. Amazing. They've also been using this technology to remix the older albums and are releasing them one by one.
While this was John's song to Paul as he wrote it, it could apply to the others as well, and John's murder limited HIS explanation. But the words are there for all... AND, the wonderful thing - every one of those guys can sing those words from their own heart to each other.
But to grasp the full-scope of The Beatles, one should start at the beginning first albums. These are the foundation, and then watch HARD DAY'S NIGHT with popcorn and witness what mania they were enduring - and how the rest of the world were introduced to more than radio and record listening.
A lot of the old footage was taken from the promotional film for the song Hello Goodbye [1967/68], and the outtakes of film they didn't use for Hello Goodbye. the very last stuff you see is from the film Hard Day's Night from 1964. When they bow, the fade out was added for this video. That scene haunts me bow they faded out. Sometimes I think Paul and Ringo will both live to be 110 lol. I want to marry Badger...but I'm 68, hahahhaha
Its funny to watch the little girl: the Beatles is an unknown entity to her, not really a thing of interest. Heck, maybe she grows up she will change her mind...
Well first of all it was my DAD, not my Grandpa. Secondly Mr. Know it all, ("well ahktually" ass) he saw them in 1966, I got the date wrong I looked at the ticket stub ( that he left to me and that I still have, I will have to put it into my next Beatles video) and he went to see them in 1966 at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago. Thanks anyway!💁♀️
@@TwiggyKeely Their occasional TV appearances were all massive treats to music fans. The Sunday night ED SULLIVAN SHOW (a 'variety show' with various acts and performers in 1 or maybe 2 brief stints) was Must-See-TV simply because the Beatles often released video clips of a new song. At school for a week before, the buzz would be about Ed's previous Sunday announcement, and everyone's radio heard DJs talking about "Sunday night, the Beatles will be on the Ed Sullivan Show." Of course, it was a filmed new-song release, not them on Ed's New York City stage. Darn. But it was something! "Seeing them in 1967" could mean, "I saw the PENNY LANE and STRAWBERRY FIELDS videos." Then it was LADY MADONNA, eventually REVOLUTION. LET IT BE.
And none more obvious than this Christmas 1975 performance on Eric Idle's RUTLES TV special: ruclips.net/video/_ACyZIXkHq0/видео.html (It should be noted that George's 1970 MY SWEET LORD was a gigantic sigh of relief for Beatles' fans who were rightly fretting over the loss of Beatles' music since Paul announced the split in April 1970. MY SWEET LORD had been a staple of radio and almost every George 'sighting' or discussion contained that song's music as a 'theme'. So to have him mock that with THIS Christmas show appearanec is sooooo wonderful.)
Amazing as it is seeing new generation of youths discovering and admiring the Beatles, the legacy transcends

Paul's in his 80's , and Ringo is 2 years older than Paul.
