She is pretending to be cool. There is no doubt. Quite an ugly momento. We don't listen what she said but we can listen to his answer. She is terrible, but she manages to fool everyone. I think Sexy Sadie is yoko. Not the Mararishi. She makes a fool of everyone.
we can’t hear what yoko’s saying so it’s all assumptions here but i think she might have said “john always thought you were against him”, because i don’t think even yoko would have the gall to say something as direct as “you were against him”, during such a special moment.

Nope. No need to be like that. Yoko loved John, and John loved Yoko. That's for sure. It doesn't matter if she doesn't look like she's about to cry - what is this, the X Factor?
It's a shame John didn't show more interest in Julian when he was growing up. I was a great fan of John's,but as a father he was a complete failure while Julian was a little boy. Don't think Yoko showed much compassion to him either.
paul munt...Its because in Johns life his music came first.Before anything else.Before family and friends.Thats just the way it was.John couldnt be home being a husband and a father.He was a Beatle.They were either going somewhere or they were already there twenty four seven.He had no personal life.He hardly had a minute to himself let alone time for a family.He was just a kid himself.It wasnt like he was some deadbeat dad sitting on a barstool everynight.He was a fucking Beatle.Can anyone even begin to understand what that must have been like??? I think not so stop your fucking judging of a man you have never known.He wasnt perfect by a long shot.He never said he was.He was only human.Just like you and I.
Rock hero... no he did not get 30 million... Cynthia Lennon on an old Howard Stern Show said that Yoko Ono lied telling people Julian got 20 million... Cynthia said it was nowhere even near that but made it sound as if she didn't want to discuss it which gives me the impression Yoko made them sign gag orders in order for him to get the money... and when people signed those gag orders they can be sued for speaking the truth regretfully.
@@octagonseventynine1253 He didn't do his own paperwork either, Yoko did. So she arranged it so that SHE would get everything in the event of his death. Pretty good life insurance policy, no? So SHE's the one that wrote Julian out of the will, and SHE's the one who fought him for 20 years for every dime. Also sold things that should have been offered to Julian. Any decent person would have.
This is kind of heartbreaking to watch. I especially feel for Sean. Paul and Yoko got to be adults with John, their memories are clear. Sean probably only has a few hazy memories of his father. John, for all his flaws, was a pretty cool and generally nice guy. Sean lost more than anyone in a way, even John.
In an interview, Julian was speaking about after his dad died, and Yoko did not want to give him anything of John’s possessions. She preferred to sell them. With the small monetary inheritance, he tried to buy everything he could.
God bless Paul McCartney and John Lennon. I believe it when Paul said he was never against him. They were brothers who loved each other very much, of course they had their differences but doesn’t everyone?
John by his own admission had a heroin problem during the last year of the Beatles. Paul should get special recognition for holding the band together while John wrote such stirring songs as “The Ballad of John and Yoko” and “She’s So Heavy” all whist insisting that Yoko sit in on rehearsals and recording sessions.
Yoko leans in and says " He thought you were against him " and then Paul responds -lot of affection there from Paul holding her tight - Sean present this was not animosity
This is just incredible. Imagine, possibly the one time Yoko confronted Paul about some old hard feelings and here we are watching it. Neat! Paul's a decent guy as I'm sure there has to be some animosity. Probably thought what's the benefit in causing pain, for anyone. It's a good lesson.
Only the four Beatles know what relationship they had with each other. Only the four know the relationship they had with Yoko. So much is written and speculated. Only they know the truth. Im sure its not that mind blowing. They have likes, dislikes, love and hate like everyone else. They are like everyone else when you take all the fame away.
Who the hell is Yoko to even suggest Paul was against him? It really irks me when people come into a person's life and think they have the right to critique people who have been in that person's life and had a long and intimate relationship way before they arrived. Paul and John were childhood friends. Really, Yoko? Were you every for anyone but yourself? Were you ever for Julian, his flesh and blood way before you were ever a thought in his life? Were you ever not for helping to destroy a family? There are no words to describe her.
Silvana716 ....Uhh, is it POSSIBLE... just PLAUSABLE that John spoke to his wife, Yoko, about such personal things about Paul and... oh I dunno....HIS TRUE FEELINGS?! Get real, Silvana. We'll never know what they spoke about or to any longer. Get over yourself......
Not a fan of yoko but john and paul were at odds for business reasons for years in the early seventies. John and george and ringo came around to pauls view about greedy allen klein too late to save the beatles as a group.
all that of course Maria, but it started with epsteins death and the loss of management. Apple almost ruined them financially. A manager before Klein and after epstein might have removed a lot of the tension caused by the business side. Paul took over some of the role, by managing their albums after sgt pepper getting them to make their final albums but at a cost to their friendship as John and george resented being told what to do. John's addictions to drugs and yoko became worse until he quit as you said.
It started as johns band but by making paul his songwriting partner and paul doing the same with john, they both became equal leaders of the band. as the eldest until ringo joined and the first of the final 4, john led but with the agreement by paul. If Paul did not agree or john disagreed, then they did something else. george also had a veto and ringo, but john and paul called the shots, until john became addicted and paul's leadership musically gave them direction from sgt pepper onward.
they all used drugs but only john was addicted. he eventually went 'cold turkey' as said in his 1st solo single. paul used less than the others. And they had an agreement for all 4 to agree or not do whatever. John left but the other 3 continued a bit longer polishing songs semi finished. It took action by paul to end the beatles legally so he could get rights and royalties to his new songs without splitting profits 4 ways. There are books about how they broke up if you want to know more. not everyone agrees entirely but the general course of the breakup is well reported.
Good stuff. There's another clip of Paul sticking up for John & Yoko during the Let It Be sessions (John & Yoko not present). They went back a long way -- mates since their mid-teens and had the loss of their mothers around the same time in common. They were the perfect counterweight to each other. Very rare for close friends never to fall out. They were a leadership team, more than ably supported by George & Ringo. The Beatles gradually made the avant garde popular, and politicised tens of millions of people.
@@octagonseventynine1253 Seems Paul did nothing but stick up for John, even against his bandmates when she was tearing the Beatles apart. Let them use his house, defended them. And then they turned against him horribly, were never nice to him as he was to them. Even tried to ruin the perception of his music by calling it names. Ingrates.
he loved John.. He knew him for so long its funny Yoko even asks something like that... This is Paul's true reaction to John's memory. Not some on the spot interview...
Paul is getting ready to pay tribute to his childhood friend and she asks if he had "something against him?" Very weird, but I'd imagine she had a lot to do with Lennon's irrational paranoia about Paul.
It's not a rational thing, just before a very emotional uptight award ceremoney, to suddenly ask someone if they had something against their old music partner. It seems like it was typical Yoko trying to darken the mood and shake Macca up like she used to do with John. Watch the video of John recording "How Do You Sleep?" and see her criticising John, whispering all bad things about the performance in his ear in front of everyone and pointing out nothing but negative stuff, then telling the (very top of their game) musicians what to do. Watch John change his mind to do exactly what she tells him coz he has to do everything to please her. It is fascinating.
Paul criticized John and Yoko's political activism, but then John criticizes Paul's music ability repeatedly in 'How Do You Sleep', so what do you think is worse? Then Paul calls a truce in 'Dear Friend' in 1971! That's a spat at worse from Paul's end, not genuine hatred. And even if it was hatred, part of it would probably be justified! The band turns against Paul because he can see Allen Klein for the snake he was, and then John admits Paul was right with 'Steel and Glass' in 1974. Hell yeah I'd be pissed off too.
@@octagonseventynine1253 Heck of a time for Yoko to dredge THAT up -- Paul's just about to go out onto the stage for god's sake, especially since A LOT of years had passed, almost 25 YEARS had passed, that's a quarter of a century ago! Plus, John and Paul had made up soon after in 1974! And John's cuts at Paul were WAY more vicious and hurtful.
I like to think she just suggested that everyone (us) have this image that paul and john were always against each other, fighting and trying to top each other and that is a shame cause they were buddies...but I dont know, tough to guess
He said "I was never against this boy." Still a nice moment, which is topped off by "It was a privilege to know him," but he doesn't say "always loved the boy."
That may be true - honestly I had a really hard time hearing the audio. I notice that on my iPhone I can hear it better than my computer.... I'll change the slug
+maria de vries And everybody knows that John loved Paul.The question is Did Yoko love John?.Doubtful very doubtful.They knew about the camera, just saying!.Think about it!
maria de vries 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah sure that's why she started to living with another man as soon as John died.Please don't be so naive the only woman that really loved this man was Cintia until the day she died.
It was reported that Cynthia Lennon fought tooth and nail so Julian could get some sort of inheritance from his Fathers estate.The sum suggested was $20 million.Turns out it was nothing close to that.She is horrible.
Yoko speaks into Paul's ear, he can't hear her, so she tries again. His reply comes "-NO! Never! I was never against him! ...." To which I can only infere she said to him "You were against John." And still she looks adamant to her point of view, reluctantly nodding yes. Beautiful poignant moment, yet awkward set of characters there.
John and Paul were very angry at each other at one point about several things and Yoko and Paul know that. Paul just means that in the big picture he wished John and Yoko the best, which is true.
I don't know that she accused him of anything--but I do think she owes, and recognizes that she owes, McCartney for ever meeting John. That's literally, directly true, and indirectly--he directed her to him for one of her art projects. I can see Macca's love for John here though. That arm around her is as close as he'll ever be to his mate again.
0:40 I can't imagine a more proud moment for a friend than whenever Paul hears Imagine and thinks 'I was the best friend and best partner of the man who wrote the most beautiful song about peace we've ever heard.'
Yoko came in at the tail end when lawsuits were rampant and phone calls between John & Paul were tense because of business affairs that they all couldn't agree upon. Yoko was there privately with John when he probably said some of the worst things about Paul. They also had their songs that went after each other and there is a clip of Yoko saying at the time that Paul started attacking John first and that's why John wrote 'How do you Sleep.' She wasn't there when they first met and became great friends so she's not fully appreciating their long relationship. But with that said I respect her fierce loyalty to John after all these years like when Paul tried to have the credits of some of the songs reversed from Lennon-McCartney to McCartney-Lennon. Seems like a small issue that she could've not fought him on but she felt that would diminish John if his name appeared behind Paul's.
When Paul tried to change the order of their names on the songs HE wrote and John contributed minimally, Yoko said 'NO stop trying to change history'. BUT when some committee wanted to ADD HER NAME to Imagine she was all for it. YES, YES, YES ADD ME AS AN EQUAL TO JOHN'S MOST WELL-KNOWN SONG!!
Paul didn’t look offended by what she said, I think it was an emotional moment for them all quite clearly. I think she’s just asked Paul “do you still have anything against him?”Just for some comforting reassurance, knowing quite well Paul doesn’t hold any grudges, I think it was definitely said in that context, and it was not meant to be offensive. Paul certainly doesn’t look offended, so he obviously new exactly where Yoko was coming from, and by the way to people who don’t like Yoko but like John, just remember that she was his wife and he would not thank you for being nasty towards her, in fact he would rather you didn’t follow him or his music.
I'm sorry, but what rights did yoko have to act as though she knew exactly what John wanted and how he would think and feel, but at the same time think it was perfectly fine to treat John himself, his family and especially his son Julian like shit? Yoko hated Julian simply because he was John's son to another woman and she hated the fact that he was married to Cynthia (Even though she STALKED John when he was married to Cynthia and wouldn't stop bugging him. She purposely split them up for her own benefit of becoming rich and famous because of one of the most famous men in the world at that time.) like she treated Julian before and after John's death like a piece of shit and she hated John's family. Before he died she would hardly allow John to speak his family and whenever they and Julian used to try to phone John she'd pick up the phone and make up an excuse and pretend he couldn't answer. When he died she was willing not to let Julian, his own *son* come to his father's memorial simply because Julian was upset and wanted his mum there for support. When Cynthia spoke to yoko on the phone about it she literally said: "I'm sorry, Cynthia, but if you come, he doesn't come. It's not like you're an old school friend of mine is it?" So Julian had to go on his own even when he wanted the comfort and support of his mum. Cynthia knew John alot more than yoko I think. Yoko just didn't really care to find out about John or listen to his wishes in life e.g. Even though he ALWAYS told the people close to him that he never wanted to be cremated, what did yoko do? She cremated him to keep him all to herself when others were grieving him too. Also when she and John would go on talk shows for interviews she'd always interupt John and want to sit next to the interviewer and talk like SHE was the star, but on the Dick Cavett show once John spoke over yoko and she told him to stop. Who the hell does she think she is? Whereas Cynthia really cared about how he was and how he was feeling. If John was sad, then she was sad for him, if he felt pain, then she took on John's pain. She never wanted John to feel lonely or sad. All she wanted to do was care for him and love him. It's sad because towards the end of his life all he wanted was to be loved and wanted, he didn't realise that Cynthia was the one who cared. After his mother died, Cynthia was there to comfort him and be there for him whenever he needed her. He hated being without her and wanted to be with her basically 24/7 when they was a couple after his mother, Julia died. He would literally beg her never to leave him and when they were in public places he wouldn't let go of her hand even if she needed to get up to use the toilet. He would write in letters to her things like 'I love you please don't go away' and 'I love you so don't leave me and 'You are wonderful I adore you, I want you, I need you'. When he was performing in clubs she would travel 30 miles from her home *everynight* just support his performances and embrace him once he had finished. She was his rock, I don't think people realise just how important Cynthia was in his life. He truly did love her and said that himself in 1974 that he still did and they could've stayed married if things were different. He never stopped loving her, she was the love of his life, but once all the drugs and yoko wormed their way into their marriage he couldn't see that. It's like Yoko wasn't allowing Cynthia to grieve for John too even though she knew him much longer before yoko knew him and was there for him from his teenage years, onwards. She was married to him. Don't you think she had a right to grieve too? "The man I love the most died a tragic death."-Cynthia. Don't even get me started on how she treated his family. Yoko didn't even *tell* them he had died, so they had to find out like everyone else from the media. No family member should find out about a loved one like that. She didn't even tell him if John was being burried or cremated and never invited them to his memorial. She never gave them a chance to say their last goodbyes to John. I hate that yoko thinks that she's sooo important and that only she mattered in John's life. She pushed all of John's family out of his life, including Julian, so she could be seen as the only important person in John's life. Sean, her own *SON* said once that she only cares about herself and her artwork. NOBODY ELSE. She's just a narcissist. I seriously don't understand how people could actually like her and think she was the perfect match for John and that they had the perfect relationship when in the mid 70s-1980 there was certainly no love. All she wanted was John's money and her own fame. Look at her now, she owns EVERY penny John earned from all of his hard work. She owns his ENTIRE estate AND his royalties. Notice I'm saying 'his' alot because that's exactly what everything is: HIS AND NOT HERS. She shouldn't own any of it. What did yoko do to gain all of that fortune? Nothing. All she's doing is living off a dead man and she STILL tries to be relevant. She's just a leech and that's all she is. Oh look, he she is acting like she gave a damn about John, well if she did, how come she moved a man into the Dakota the *same night* John died called Sam Havadtoy and allowed him to sleep in the bed she and John once shared and began a 20 year relationship with him? It's funmy that she said once she never had another relationship after Johm died. Oh look, trying to sound innocent and sweet like always... Poor Sean, must've been confusing to the little boy to see another man in the house when his dad had died so soon. When John met her that was the beginning of the end of him. His biggest mistake was leaving Cynthia and Julian for yoko.
Chantelle Adlington yoko have the right to love again....and yoko julian and sean wrote a book the last year...ohh little girl you write so much how bitter your life is ....?
If you though for one second that PAUL did'nt LOVE John you would"nt be watching this VIDEO...SAD to even QUESTION, that's who YOKO really is... DONT put her up on a PEDESTAL she dose'nt deserve... GB THE SHED ! ......... PS... GB means GOD BLESS but you already knew that..LOVE
don't think that was the time and the place to start quizzing Paul about whether he was against John or not typical of Yoko Ono trying to f*** with people's heads
Yoko really disliked Paul, at least at the time of this filming. Look at how she flinches when Paul finally removes his arm. John and Paul were so close, and so important to each other. The way John lashed out at Paul after the Beatles finally split up is a measure of how difficult it was for him to leave that relationship. Paul certainly did his best song writing when he had John in his life to challenge him and counteract his tendency to be superficial. Very interesting clip. Watch the nonverbals.
Yoko sure knows how to push buttons telling Paul just before he goes out to induct Lennon that he was Always against him!! Didn't work on Paul as it did on poor John!!!
John Lennon will always be loved no question about it, but the truth is the truth, Yoko wore and still wears his balls on a chain bc John let her and no excuses for that, it's not like she she was the only woman on earth and John could have had any woman he wanted so can't make excuses for him.
Yoko is infamous not famous. Her notoriety derives from her association with John. Leech and greedy. She went after Paul before hitting on John. Her ill treatment of John's son Julian says all I need to know about her.
why do people blame Sean Lennon for being John's son it's so pathetic, he was born and raised in a alternative lifestyle for sure but he's never been so much as a good kid.
Paul had a good 12-13years of a relationship/ growing up with John and living in each others pockets, young, gifted and conquering the world together. Yoko knew him from 1968 - 1973 then they split and then back together from 1975-1980. She had the left over Lennon filled with heroin and jealousy against Paul Let's face it, John's best work was with The Beatles and then his albums Imagine and Mind Games, the others are either 'best of' albums or cover versions albums - average at best and lazy - Thanks Yoko for sucking the inspiration out of him!!!!
A person private life , money ,fame I mean come on they grew up together maybe had a spat or two but they where mates for sure yes i wasn't there to see for real but no matter where they were or what they may have been doing they where friends .
Who the hell is Yoko?? John's beloved wife that's who. Believe me, I'm no fan of Yoko, But if you cared anything about John Lennon as a person, than you have to respect the person he loved in his life, the closest thing to his heart. It was the kind of love Paul couldn't give. We might not like his choice, but it was his to make and he had no regrets.
Art Works That's the best comment about the situation I have heard. The man had a right to live with whomever he waited. Just making records for them is not a life.
"you cared anything about John Lennon as a person, than you have to respect the person he loved in his life" - I did care about Lennon and, therefore, had a great respect toward the person he loved, that is, Cynthia Lennon. And that's why, when another lady, knowingly that Lennon was already married and had a son, started seducing Lennon, thus, breaking the family and leaving the young son without father, I felt a lot of pain. Later, when Lennon's drinking and drug problems were consequently increasing, the pain was only growing. And finally, when he was shot, I can tell now that I still have a great deal of respect toward belated Cynthia and have absolutely no respect toward Yoko Ono.
Paul must have downed a few, he actually had his arm around her and smiling at the same time! The worst thing that ever happened to paul or john was ono. Amazing video though
Wow...so stark and real, and so fucking sad. When I see and hear this, I see how much both Yoko and Paul both really loved him, regardless of the bullshit that existed in their mutual relationships. Yeah I know, there are lots of yoko haters out there, and she could be irritating to be sure...but John loved her, that's good enough for me.
possibly Julian was out having his own life in one direction or another. he was excluded. when I look at the footage of the bed in for peace kyoko is there, but I ask myself, where was Julian. I ask myself that a lot when I see footage of john. he was so sadly neglectful. first it was his career, then the drugs, then divorce. it always breaks my heart that Julian felt so excluded and I know it harmed him psychologically. that is why he attack yoko as much as he does. because he is scarred. it is isn't her fault. john neglected him
Julian is standing next to Paul and Yoko... Sean was a little kid at the time. Julian and Sean were also present with Yoko at The Beatles induction to the rock n roll hall of fame. Stop looking for things to hate Yoko for , it's pathetic.
Early years when they started. They said they would last 10 years. They did. That's why we didn't mind the change in music. from love songs to rock in roll.... to just music about life and there life..... the generation after us was into Micheal Jackson Tom Petty. REO. Speedwagon etc. cable was in MTV took over..... I'm.60. the next generation is 50 that 10 year difference that were not into the beatles...
Paul is such a loving and admirable man; holding Yoko and Sean in comfort as they reflect upon their husband, father and friend. Such a beautiful moment.
Matthew Coleman Paul is too kind
It is not beautiful. She is using that moment to spread poison!
Paul & John were friends since teenagers. Probs spent more time together than Yoko & John ever did.
slehc yo they definitely spent more time together
Yoko's had plenty of ugly moments but I don't think this is one of them? It's hard to tell if she's actually accusing Paul since she looks like she's about to cry and her body language is open towards Paul, and he looks like he's trying to reassure her while trying to keep himself composed as well. Sean looks happy to be there together. Paul and Yoko have had their problems but this looks like a genuine moment where they're bonding simply over their shared love for John.
She is pretending to be cool. There is no doubt. Quite an ugly momento. We don't listen what she said but we can listen to his answer. She is terrible, but she manages to fool everyone. I think Sexy Sadie is yoko. Not the Mararishi. She makes a fool of everyone.
rockandrollballerina good comment! They look like, let's hope it's true and not because of the cameras..
we can’t hear what yoko’s saying so it’s all assumptions here but i think she might have said “john always thought you were against him”, because i don’t think even yoko would have the gall to say something as direct as “you were against him”, during such a special moment.
good new proposition in this sea of grieves and allegations..! you're maybe right..

Lennon and McCartney. John and Paul. Just two best mates from Liverpool who changed the world forever. ❤️
Is it me or did One and McCartney look like they were about to start crying?
Leigh Foulkes oh definitely. Paul is stepping in and keeping it together. Sean is almost crying. Yoko too. Paul very cheery.
I am not sure if Yoko loved him. And she doesn't look she is about to cry. She is only happy she got all his glory for herself.
Nope. No need to be like that. Yoko loved John, and John loved Yoko. That's for sure. It doesn't matter if she doesn't look like she's about to cry - what is this, the X Factor?
Leigh Foulkes
Leigh Foulkes Paul always seems to bite his lip and nod his head when he's about to cry. So possibly.
Paul always does the right thing.
He also knows he is on camera. I think they were all holding bCK THE TEARS.

It's a shame John didn't show more interest in Julian when he was growing up. I was a great fan of John's,but as a father he was a complete failure while Julian was a little boy. Don't think Yoko showed much compassion to him either.

He wasn't Yoko's child...

Wow this is valuable tape
Anthony Rosenthal Didn't think I'd catch you in this comments section! Huge fan ;)
honesty, john's happy xmas song makes me miss him more than any other song...idk why
this is the definition of heartbreaking
this is a rare and special video
Wow what a rare backstage video of RNRoll hall of fame induction! Thanks for sharing!
The two people who loved John the most. Both of their hearts are full and breaking at the same time.
Where on earth did you get this from? Just before John is inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame....
This is like super super rare
Glad I found this
they were all affected by john`s death.....paul is great here.
Yoko leans in and says " He thought you were against him " and then Paul responds -lot of affection there from Paul holding her tight - Sean present this was not animosity
I’m no yoko fan but I think she possibly just said to Paul that John was never against him, hence his agreement in reply
MY GOD... ECAH SECOND OF THIS UNREAL, SPLENDID FILM, IS PURE GOLD. OH MY GOD...
julio césar flores I burst into tears! I was especially watching Sean.
How does anyone know what Yoko said to Paul? It can't be heard.
This is just incredible. Imagine, possibly the one time Yoko confronted Paul about some old hard feelings and here we are watching it. Neat! Paul's a decent guy as I'm sure there has to be some animosity. Probably thought what's the benefit in causing pain, for anyone. It's a good lesson.
Sure but at the same time, how could he answer otherwise?? would be indeed a proof of total social and sentimental inability..
Only the four Beatles know what relationship they had with each other. Only the four know the relationship they had with Yoko. So much is written and speculated. Only they know the truth. Im sure its not that mind blowing. They have likes, dislikes, love and hate like everyone else. They are like everyone else when you take all the fame away.
Who the hell is Yoko to even suggest Paul was against him? It really irks me when people come into a person's life and think they have the right to critique people who have been in that person's life and had a long and intimate relationship way before they arrived. Paul and John were childhood friends. Really, Yoko? Were you every for anyone but yourself? Were you ever for Julian, his flesh and blood way before you were ever a thought in his life? Were you ever not for helping to destroy a family? There are no words to describe her.
Silvana716 ....Uhh, is it POSSIBLE... just PLAUSABLE that John spoke to his wife, Yoko, about such personal things about Paul and... oh I dunno....HIS TRUE FEELINGS?!
Get real, Silvana. We'll never know what they spoke about or to any longer. Get over yourself......
Not a fan of yoko but john and paul were at odds for business reasons for years in the early seventies. John and george and ringo came around to pauls view about greedy allen klein too late to save the beatles as a group.
all that of course Maria, but it started with epsteins death and the loss of management. Apple almost ruined them financially. A manager before Klein and after epstein might have removed a lot of the tension caused by the business side. Paul took over some of the role, by managing their albums after sgt pepper getting them to make their final albums but at a cost to their friendship as John and george resented being told what to do. John's addictions to drugs and yoko became worse until he quit as you said.
It started as johns band but by making paul his songwriting partner and paul doing the same with john, they both became equal leaders of the band. as the eldest until ringo joined and the first of the final 4, john led but with the agreement by paul. If Paul did not agree or john disagreed, then they did something else. george also had a veto and ringo, but john and paul called the shots, until john became addicted and paul's leadership musically gave them direction from sgt pepper onward.
they all used drugs but only john was addicted. he eventually went 'cold turkey' as said in his 1st solo single. paul used less than the others. And they had an agreement for all 4 to agree or not do whatever. John left but the other 3 continued a bit longer polishing songs semi finished. It took action by paul to end the beatles legally so he could get rights and royalties to his new songs without splitting profits 4 ways. There are books about how they broke up if you want to know more. not everyone agrees entirely but the general course of the breakup is well reported.
If you ever thought yoko didnt love john look at her expression when she hears the songs.
Wish I could hear everything they’re saying... but this is a very tender moment. So sweet.
I'm crying!
Happy Christmas always makes me cry again... It has so much meaning
Debe ser siempre fuerte tener a alguien con el acento de Liverpool como Paul, escuchar la voz de John, sus imágenes, para Yoko y Sean.
Good stuff. There's another clip of Paul sticking up for John & Yoko during the Let It Be sessions (John & Yoko not present).
They went back a long way -- mates since their mid-teens and had the loss of their mothers around the same time in common.
They were the perfect counterweight to each other. Very rare for close friends never to fall out.
They were a leadership team, more than ably supported by George & Ringo.
The Beatles gradually made the avant garde popular, and politicised tens of millions of people.
Paul introduced Yoko to John as well.
@@octagonseventynine1253 Seems Paul did nothing but stick up for John, even against his bandmates when she was tearing the Beatles apart. Let them use his house, defended them. And then they turned against him horribly, were never nice to him as he was to them. Even tried to ruin the perception of his music by calling it names. Ingrates.
Its great to see everyone get along. Isnt that what the Beatles were all about?
he loved John.. He knew him for so long its funny Yoko even asks something like that... This is Paul's true reaction to John's memory. Not some on the spot interview...
When they zoom in on Sean... omg. I’m crying. Y’all got me fucked up. Why am I cryin in the club Rn??
Paul knew John for as many as Yoko did...where does she get off even asking the question?
"the Ballad of Paul and Yoko";and Sean!no hate between them...
i got so emotional throughout this
Paul is getting ready to pay tribute to his childhood friend and she asks if he had "something against him?" Very weird, but I'd imagine she had a lot to do with Lennon's irrational paranoia about Paul.
Paul criticized John and Yoko in his song 'Too many people', do some research,
It's not a rational thing, just before a very emotional uptight award ceremoney, to suddenly ask someone if they had something against their old music partner. It seems like it was typical Yoko trying to darken the mood and shake Macca up like she used to do with John. Watch the video of John recording "How Do You Sleep?" and see her criticising John, whispering all bad things about the performance in his ear in front of everyone and pointing out nothing but negative stuff, then telling the (very top of their game) musicians what to do. Watch John change his mind to do exactly what she tells him coz he has to do everything to please her. It is fascinating.
Paul criticized John and Yoko's political activism, but then John criticizes Paul's music ability repeatedly in 'How Do You Sleep', so what do you think is worse? Then Paul calls a truce in 'Dear Friend' in 1971! That's a spat at worse from Paul's end, not genuine hatred.
And even if it was hatred, part of it would probably be justified! The band turns against Paul because he can see Allen Klein for the snake he was, and then John admits Paul was right with 'Steel and Glass' in 1974. Hell yeah I'd be pissed off too.
@@octagonseventynine1253 Heck of a time for Yoko to dredge THAT up -- Paul's just about to go out onto the stage for god's sake, especially since A LOT of years had passed, almost 25 YEARS had passed, that's a quarter of a century ago! Plus, John and Paul had made up soon after in 1974! And John's cuts at Paul were WAY more vicious and hurtful.
Yes she did. John, wrote way worse things about Paul moron. You pgobBly think he was a good father. Ask Julian.
Does anyone feel like attempting a transcript? I can only hear snatches of what's being said.
I like to think she just suggested that everyone (us) have this image that paul and john were always against each other, fighting and trying to top each other and that is a shame cause they were buddies...but I dont know, tough to guess
He said "I was never against this boy." Still a nice moment, which is topped off by "It was a privilege to know him," but he doesn't say "always loved the boy."
That may be true - honestly I had a really hard time hearing the audio. I notice that on my iPhone I can hear it better than my computer.... I'll change the slug
+maria de vries And everybody knows that John loved Paul.The question is Did Yoko love John?.Doubtful very doubtful.They knew about the camera, just saying!.Think about it!
maria de vries 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah sure that's why she started to living with another man as soon as John died.Please don't be so naive the only woman that really loved this man was Cintia until the day she died.
Two words Havadtoy dude!
maria de vries A friend of Yoko?yeah sure 😂🤣😂🤣
It was reported that Cynthia Lennon fought tooth and nail so Julian could get some sort of inheritance from his Fathers estate.The sum suggested was $20 million.Turns out it was nothing close to that.She is horrible.
Why would she ask that?
Three people who really loved John!
Looks like a real moment.
Yoko speaks into Paul's ear, he can't hear her, so she tries again. His reply comes "-NO! Never! I was never against him! ...."
To which I can only infere she said to him "You were against John." And still she looks adamant to her point of view, reluctantly nodding yes.
Beautiful poignant moment, yet awkward set of characters there.
John and Paul were very angry at each other at one point about several things and Yoko and Paul know that. Paul just means that in the big picture he wished John and Yoko the best, which is true.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 Brillant comment!! you said everything with a few words, and it's certainly true.. bravo!!
Such an interesting clip 😊 ... they seem very relaxed .
"l just hope they bring me out first"-sir paul
😁
I don't know that she accused him of anything--but I do think she owes, and recognizes that she owes, McCartney for ever meeting John. That's literally, directly true, and indirectly--he directed her to him for one of her art projects. I can see Macca's love for John here though. That arm around her is as close as he'll ever be to his mate again.
I mean, Paul understands that John would want him to take care of Yoko, and Yoko understands John would care about Paul. Wonderful.
0:40 I can't imagine a more proud moment for a friend than whenever Paul hears Imagine and thinks 'I was the best friend and best partner of the man who wrote the most beautiful song about peace we've ever heard.'
Paul was truly a sincere friend to John ,unlike Yoko Ono
Yoko came in at the tail end when lawsuits were rampant and phone calls between John & Paul were tense because of business affairs that they all couldn't agree upon. Yoko was there privately with John when he probably said some of the worst things about Paul. They also had their songs that went after each other and there is a clip of Yoko saying at the time that Paul started attacking John first and that's why John wrote 'How do you Sleep.' She wasn't there when they first met and became great friends so she's not fully appreciating their long relationship. But with that said I respect her fierce loyalty to John after all these years like when Paul tried to have the credits of some of the songs reversed from Lennon-McCartney to McCartney-Lennon. Seems like a small issue that she could've not fought him on but she felt that would diminish John if his name appeared behind Paul's.
When Paul tried to change the order of their names on the songs HE wrote and John contributed minimally, Yoko said 'NO stop trying to change history'. BUT when some committee wanted to ADD HER NAME to Imagine she was all for it. YES, YES, YES ADD ME AS AN EQUAL TO JOHN'S MOST WELL-KNOWN SONG!!
Paul didn’t look offended by what she said, I think it was an emotional moment for them all quite clearly. I think she’s just asked Paul “do you still have anything against him?”Just for some comforting reassurance, knowing quite well Paul doesn’t hold any grudges, I think it was definitely said in that context, and it was not meant to be offensive. Paul certainly doesn’t look offended, so he obviously new exactly where Yoko was coming from, and by the way to people who don’t like Yoko but like John, just remember that she was his wife and he would not thank you for being nasty towards her, in fact he would rather you didn’t follow him or his music.
38 years ❤️
We don't know what Yoko said. Only Paul's response to her.
That may be one of the most beautiful videos i have ever seen.
This is one of the most terrible video I have ever seen. How dare Yoko be so rude with Paul at that time?
Beatles even tough they separated but they remain friends and even their sons
"John and Yoko belong to John and Yoko;it is not up to us..."
Deplorable that Yoko would say that to Paul McCartney just as he is going on stage to induct his friend into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!
I'm sorry, but what rights did yoko have to act as though she knew exactly what John wanted and how he would think and feel, but at the same time think it was perfectly fine to treat John himself, his family and especially his son Julian like shit?
Yoko hated Julian simply because he was John's son to another woman and she hated the fact that he was married to Cynthia (Even though she STALKED John when he was married to Cynthia and wouldn't stop bugging him. She purposely split them up for her own benefit of becoming rich and famous because of one of the most famous men in the world at that time.) like she treated Julian before and after John's death like a piece of shit and she hated John's family.
Before he died she would hardly allow John to speak his family and whenever they and Julian used to try to phone John she'd pick up the phone and make up an excuse and pretend he couldn't answer. When he died she was willing not to let Julian, his own *son* come to his father's memorial simply because Julian was upset and wanted his mum there for support. When Cynthia spoke to yoko on the phone about it she literally said: "I'm sorry, Cynthia, but if you come, he doesn't come. It's not like you're an old school friend of mine is it?" So Julian had to go on his own even when he wanted the comfort and support of his mum.
Cynthia knew John alot more than yoko I think. Yoko just didn't really care to find out about John or listen to his wishes in life e.g. Even though he ALWAYS told the people close to him that he never wanted to be cremated, what did yoko do? She cremated him to keep him all to herself when others were grieving him too. Also when she and John would go on talk shows for interviews she'd always interupt John and want to sit next to the interviewer and talk like SHE was the star, but on the Dick Cavett show once John spoke over yoko and she told him to stop. Who the hell does she think she is?
Whereas Cynthia really cared about how he was and how he was feeling. If John was sad, then she was sad for him, if he felt pain, then she took on John's pain. She never wanted John to feel lonely or sad. All she wanted to do was care for him and love him. It's sad because towards the end of his life all he wanted was to be loved and wanted, he didn't realise that Cynthia was the one who cared.
After his mother died, Cynthia was there to comfort him and be there for him whenever he needed her. He hated being without her and wanted to be with her basically 24/7 when they was a couple after his mother, Julia died. He would literally beg her never to leave him and when they were in public places he wouldn't let go of her hand even if she needed to get up to use the toilet. He would write in letters to her things like 'I love you please don't go away' and 'I love you so don't leave me and 'You are wonderful I adore you, I want you, I need you'.
When he was performing in clubs she would travel 30 miles from her home *everynight* just support his performances and embrace him once he had finished. She was his rock, I don't think people realise just how important Cynthia was in his life.
He truly did love her and said that himself in 1974 that he still did and they could've stayed married if things were different. He never stopped loving her, she was the love of his life, but once all the drugs and yoko wormed their way into their marriage he couldn't see that.
It's like Yoko wasn't allowing Cynthia to grieve for John too even though she knew him much longer before yoko knew him and was there for him from his teenage years, onwards. She was married to him. Don't you think she had a right to grieve too? "The man I love the most died a tragic death."-Cynthia.
Don't even get me started on how she treated his family. Yoko didn't even *tell* them he had died, so they had to find out like everyone else from the media. No family member should find out about a loved one like that. She didn't even tell him if John was being burried or cremated and never invited them to his memorial. She never gave them a chance to say their last goodbyes to John.
I hate that yoko thinks that she's sooo important and that only she mattered in John's life. She pushed all of John's family out of his life, including Julian, so she could be seen as the only important person in John's life.
Sean, her own *SON* said once that she only cares about herself and her artwork. NOBODY ELSE. She's just a narcissist.
I seriously don't understand how people could actually like her and think she was the perfect match for John and that they had the perfect relationship when in the mid 70s-1980 there was certainly no love. All she wanted was John's money and her own fame. Look at her now, she owns EVERY penny John earned from all of his hard work. She owns his ENTIRE estate AND his royalties.
Notice I'm saying 'his' alot because that's exactly what everything is: HIS AND NOT HERS. She shouldn't own any of it. What did yoko do to gain all of that fortune? Nothing.
All she's doing is living off a dead man and she STILL tries to be relevant. She's just a leech and that's all she is. Oh look, he she is acting like she gave a damn about John, well if she did, how come she moved a man into the Dakota the *same night* John died called Sam Havadtoy and allowed him to sleep in the bed she and John once shared and began a 20 year relationship with him? It's funmy that she said once she never had another relationship after Johm died. Oh look, trying to sound innocent and sweet like always... Poor Sean, must've been confusing to the little boy to see another man in the house when his dad had died so soon. When John met her that was the beginning of the end of him. His biggest mistake was leaving Cynthia and Julian for yoko.
You have put my exact feelings into words. The fall of John is only to be blamed on Yoko.
Chantelle Adlington yoko have the right to love again....and yoko julian and sean wrote a book the last year...ohh little girl you write so much how bitter your life is ....?
Chantelle Adlington, I can't wait until the fall of Yoko.
Well said.
ES G I know all of this because my grandad was friends with John for 23 years. They met at Liverpool art college, 1957.
So sorry for Sean:/
What were all the songs used? It's hard to hear.
Yoko is never is ANY position to question "anything" to do with music.
Is this where the beatles reunion tapes were supplied ??!
Well that was awkward
If you though for one second that PAUL did'nt LOVE John you would"nt be watching this VIDEO...SAD to even QUESTION, that's who YOKO really is... DONT put her up on a PEDESTAL she dose'nt deserve... GB THE SHED ! ......... PS... GB means GOD BLESS but you already knew that..LOVE
don't think that was the time and the place to start quizzing Paul about whether he was against John or not typical of Yoko Ono trying to f*** with people's heads
Yoko really disliked Paul, at least at the time of this filming. Look at how she flinches when Paul finally removes his arm. John and Paul were so close, and so important to each other. The way John lashed out at Paul after the Beatles finally split up is a measure of how difficult it was for him to leave that relationship. Paul certainly did his best song writing when he had John in his life to challenge him and counteract his tendency to be superficial. Very interesting clip. Watch the nonverbals.
Yoko looked beautiful.
"mother,you had me;but paul never had you-ou-ou"!
Yoko sure knows how to push buttons telling Paul just before he goes out to induct Lennon that he was Always against him!! Didn't work on Paul as it did on poor John!!!
John Lennon will always be loved no question about it, but the truth is the truth, Yoko wore and still wears his balls on a chain bc John let her and no excuses for that, it's not like she she was the only woman on earth and John could have had any woman he wanted so can't make excuses for him.
So that's Julian on the right ? Just asking. People think it's Sean, but he would have been a lot younger
What years this from ?
1994
Looks like 1994 rock n roll hall of fame induction, where Sean would be about 17 or 18 and Yoko would be about 59 or 60.
Yoko is infamous not famous. Her notoriety derives from her association with John. Leech and greedy. She went after Paul before hitting on John. Her ill treatment of John's son Julian says all I need to know about her.
why do people blame Sean Lennon for being John's son it's so pathetic, he was born and raised in a alternative lifestyle for sure but he's never been so much as a good kid.
Dennis Rivenburg, yeah no one should blame Sean for anything like that.
I know right
not sure if Sean or Joji... 🤔
Paul had a good 12-13years of a relationship/ growing up with John and living in each others pockets, young, gifted and conquering the world together. Yoko knew him from 1968 - 1973 then they split and then back together from 1975-1980. She had the left over Lennon filled with heroin and jealousy against Paul Let's face it, John's best work was with The Beatles and then his albums Imagine and Mind Games, the others are either 'best of' albums or cover versions albums - average at best and lazy - Thanks Yoko for sucking the inspiration out of him!!!!
En este vídeo estan los dos amores de la vida de Lennon emotivo momento
Paul is like a very clever politically correct politician.
He probly pittied Yoko more than he loved her, if he even loved her, but love is blind
A person private life , money ,fame I mean come on they grew up together maybe had a spat or two but they where mates for sure yes i wasn't there to see for real but no matter where they were or what they may have been doing they where friends .
:(
Who the hell is Yoko?? John's beloved wife that's who. Believe me, I'm no fan of Yoko, But if you cared anything about John Lennon as a person, than you have to respect the person he loved in his life, the closest thing to his heart. It was the kind of love Paul couldn't give. We might not like his choice, but it was his to make and he had no regrets.
Art Works That's the best comment about the situation I have heard. The man had a right to live with whomever he waited. Just making records for them is not a life.
"you cared anything about John Lennon as a person, than you have to respect the person he loved in his life"
- I did care about Lennon and, therefore, had a great respect toward the person he loved, that is, Cynthia Lennon. And that's why, when another lady, knowingly that Lennon was already married and had a son, started seducing Lennon, thus, breaking the family and leaving the young son without father, I felt a lot of pain. Later, when Lennon's drinking and drug problems were consequently increasing, the pain was only growing. And finally, when he was shot, I can tell now that I still have a great deal of respect toward belated Cynthia and have absolutely no respect toward Yoko Ono.
Beloved? 😂😂😊😂😂
Bethoven
Art Works one of the reasons I always try to respect her but she makes it hard sometimes!
Приобнял её ))
looks like a charity show shortly after Johns death...maybe early `81
Michael illetschko no Sean would have been really small. This is probably the late 90s or early 200s
No, because Julian's around 18 and Yoko's around 59 years old.
Sean’s not young enough for this to be 81. It had to be the early 90s. This is when Paul inducts John into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Those lads knew one another better then anyone els... All commentary is just rubush gossip
Paul must have downed a few, he actually had his arm around her and smiling at the same time! The worst thing that ever happened to paul or john was ono. Amazing video though
He should have said."I can't stand you though.!!
Wow...so stark and real, and so fucking sad.
When I see and hear this, I see how much both Yoko and Paul both really loved him, regardless of the bullshit that existed in their mutual relationships.
Yeah I know, there are lots of yoko haters out there, and she could be irritating to be sure...but John loved her, that's good enough for me.
For a moment I thought Sean was going to kiss Paul 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
Where the hell is Jillian.....you know....HIS FIRST BORN SON. PAUL & YOKO SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR EXCLUDING HIM. Hasn't he suffered exclusion enough?
possibly Julian was out having his own life in one direction or another. he was excluded. when I look at the footage of the bed in for peace kyoko is there, but I ask myself, where was Julian. I ask myself that a lot when I see footage of john. he was so sadly neglectful. first it was his career, then the drugs, then divorce. it always breaks my heart that Julian felt so excluded and I know it harmed him psychologically. that is why he attack yoko as much as he does. because he is scarred. it is isn't her fault. john neglected him
Julian is standing next to Paul and Yoko... Sean was a little kid at the time. Julian and Sean were also present with Yoko at The Beatles induction to the rock n roll hall of fame. Stop looking for things to hate Yoko for , it's pathetic.
That's Sean.
get your eyes checked thats Sean, he is about 19 here, this was in 1994
That is Sean in the clip not Julian.
Awe! Yoko looks so pretty.... :))
Early years when they started. They said they would last 10 years. They did. That's why we didn't mind the change in music. from love songs to rock in roll.... to just music about life and there life.....
the generation after us was into Micheal Jackson Tom Petty. REO. Speedwagon etc. cable was in MTV took over..... I'm.60. the next generation is 50 that 10 year difference that were not into the beatles...
