John Lennon's WALLS & BRIDGES is my go to. POB is a Masterpiece with Imagine close behind. Walls and Bridges is right up there. #9 DREAM is John at his Best. What a Voice. Perfect for Rock n Roll.
Fabulous! I loved every second of this one. I don’t remember ever hearing it. Lovely insight to his creative process and cool tips on mixes. Funny. Wonderful. Really lifted me today. John was always cool, practical and interesting. I still love him.
I got a real kick out of listening to this. I was 18 when this came out and I don't remember it cuz I probably had a few too many drinks or I just haven't heard it at all. But thank you for putting this up I really enjoyed listening to it and I still miss John so much.
I'd have to agree, for the most part. It's a solid album and one I still listen too, regularly. I do, however think that he had some decent songs on Double Fantasy. Yoko's offerings, notwithstanding. It sucks that we didn't get any further music from John, clearly. I really love Nobody Told Me, off of Milk and Honey. Even though it wasn't fully produced yet, it showed that he still had it, he still could rock.
@wayne I agree with your basic assessments of DF and MAH: I too love what he did on those last lp’s, whether via the ballads OR the rockers with an ‘80’s edge and feel; that said, for me, WAB gets the edge of my preference for its timeless gravity and beautifully-melancholic emotional tone…
A relaxed interview at a good time in his life. Oh, if only Alma hadn't died, and if only he hadn't walked into that gallery 2 weeks later, if only he'd stayed with May Pang and if only someone hadn't paid Chapman to shoot him ... Since wars are virtual money fountains for certain people, talking about peace is obviously very dangerous in this world.
'There's very little Beatle material that wasn't put out......' Hmmmm, I wonder what John would think of all the outakes etc released since the 95' anthology right up to the impending Revolver remix.
All of the Beatles underestimated the lasting importance of their work and its permanent impact on human culture. The rough sketches of songs on anthology, though seemingly of little value to the Beatles, are as important as the rough drafts of poetry by Yeats, Eliot, or Shakespeare for that matter. McCartney is the only one who understood this, maybe too well.
Exactly. But let’s call a spade a spade. Let us say murdered. John was not killed or assassinated. He was murdered. So who’s the killer? Who hired Mark Chapman? or who was the intended target? 🤑
@rodog9465 I'm 65 have been hearing him speak for many years. He has different voices sometimes deep, and sometimes he speaks with an extremely high pitched voice.
Lennon ruined Nilsson's voice on the Pussycats LP. I remember buying the Rock n Roll LP from my local newsagent for £2.99 in 1979. I was to be honest disappointed as especially with Sweet Little Sixteen and Do You Wanna Dance were like listening to disco music.
Yea, John's like dog shit,..it keeps happening,.. I do like the third picture in,.. That's basically,.. the way I personally would like to remember him. Not essentially grim,.. but caring in a serious way.
It's always so nice to hear John's voice.
John was my favorite Beatle. I liked Lennon compositions the most.
Likewise.
Compare the difference when yucko was around and and when she wasn't. A whole different person.
John Lennon's WALLS & BRIDGES is my go to.

Walls and Bridges is right up there. #9 DREAM is John at his Best. What a Voice. Perfect for Rock n Roll.
Thank you for sharing this priceless treasure!
IMHO, John had the perfect voice for rock and roll
Glad you enjoyed it

Great comment.

Enjoyable interview. I really love John's version of Ben E. King's great song, " Stand By Me". Thank you. A true moment in time.
Excellent. Thank you very much for this upload.
WALLS AND BRIDGES was/is Dr. Winston’s last solid album…

Another treasure of an upload and on John’s birthday thanks

I know he hated the original recordings and production. Would love all the remastered stuff
I think he would have found it reassuring. George on the other hand......
I think he’s more saying theres few finished songs that weren’t released

Who’s the girl he asked about ringo. And harry. Was that May pang ?
Happy birthday, John Lennon.
The Lost Weekend period.
Great to hear this in complete form. This was edited down for the KHJ Special of the Month (Los Angles).
Forgot to mention he recorded the songs he recorded because he was being sued, and he settled the suits by recording the songs
Thanks for the interview will always love John and he's still with us his spirit is watching us I believe in him.
How could anyone kill such a gentle soul?!!
Exactly. But let’s call a spade a spade. Let us say murdered. John was not killed or assassinated. He was murdered. So who’s the killer? Who hired Mark Chapman? or who was the intended target? 🤑
If u think he was gentle, buddy u dont know who he his
@@treypeters1087 All i know he wrote IMAGINE and Give Peace a Chance.... so he is very gentle!!!
@@alextakacs768 he also wrote 'happiness is a warm gun' dude, he himself says that people make him out to be something he's not
ya people like you!! @@treypeters1087
The best Beatle. Most interesting for sure.
I feel that there’s no hurry, I’m just sitting here doing time…
mould but goildits turned out to be the Rock n Roll Album
@32:34 That's why the Beatles endure to this day. 🤷♂️
Some of the songs that he picked to cover for the Rock and Roll album are stinkers.
❤
Here John's voice is deep. Sometimes it's really high like he's on helium 😂
A lot of interviews are sped up and stuff
@rodog9465 I'm 65 have been hearing him speak for many years. He has different voices sometimes deep, and sometimes he speaks with an extremely high pitched voice.
John had a great voice, either speaking or singing. Compare this voice to the 'Twist and shout' John. He had a great range...
@@carolbarnes3212 He had something that you can't describe? His vocals were very attractive to listen to.
& he did care,.. too much maybe sometimes.

@19:05 or so May Pang chimes in🥰
He should've stayed with that little hottie
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55Mother Yoko fixed John up with the young virgin. Mother unfixed it 😅.
