Absolutely Awesome News Beatle Tone

Just finished watching it, 3 reasons why I didn’t like it, 1. John Lennon wasn’t a midget, 2. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo corny & 3. It was crap & full of factual errors, 😊while I’m in here some more Beatley tone mega smega sessions pretty please! I looooove your enthusiasm & knowledge

I thought it was an okay film, 2.5/5 is fair enough, I'd probably rate it a 6.5/10, it had a nice message, but Brian is a hard man to nake a film about, whilst the premise of a film about him is inherently pretty interesting, it's hard to make one, as to make it interesting you would have to indulge in a lot of the rumours about him for narrative interest, but as interesting as Brian is, he kept his private life very private so it's hard to make a concrete film about him. I think they did the best they could without indulging in all the Lennon and Brian relationship runours and other stuff like that but it makes for a sort of boring movie to be honest.

Looking forward to the documentary, it’s great that you got to talk to the man behind it

I'm glad the FBI conspiracy theories garbage was dropped, all that is just for cranks. Good news also that there's no focus or back story on the pointless piece of scum who ended his life. I feared there might have been a sort of "little did John know what was lurking in the background" angle to the events of his life. I would be quite happy for it to end with the last recording session with Jack Douglas on the 8th December. We all know what happened next, but I'd prefer it not to cast a shadow over the documentary. Just focus on his life.

Great update Tone! Random question for you, I noticed that a lot of BBC anchors and reporters have that red and green rose? pinned to their clothing. Would you let us peeps in the US know what that symbolizes or stands for at this time? Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Hi Tone, another great video. I thoroughly enjoyed that overview of your chat. I will definitely be getting the DVD. Great work mate. Have a top weekend 😊

Hi Tone. Really excited about this one and was unaware a world 1981 tour was planned. That wouda been really something. Real nice of Mr Parker to contact you and giving you...and us...a heads up on what to expect. I look forward to your interview with him. Lots of exciting Beatles and Beatle related stuff going on these days.

Not as exciting as a new Ringo EP hey Beatley Tone?! Wonder if Sir Richie would've been on the tour. And could you be knighted after returning an MBE and becoming a US citizen?

I have to say, that as an owner of the original Anthology CDs, the vinyl editions look a lot better. As a side note, I've always wondered how many people who were Beatles-curious but not fans bought an Anthology album expecting a greatest hits package, listened to what they actually are, and returned, sold or gave them away.

Here's another cool story about my dad. As I said, he was a jukebox vendor. We had a racola jukebox he had drilled a hole in the side of it for an auto a track player. So if you wanted to play an 8-track. All you needed to do was put the eight track in and it would play through the jukebox speakers no wish he lives long enough to teach me about the electrician skills that he had. So some of us have these kind of stories about our family and they are meaningful and help us remember the importance of them in their absence.

Thanks Tone good wishes to you always

All right so I grab the comments from the streaming video on the right side. I'll try to do that. It's a pain in the butt for me because I use everything in an inverted state so that the text is white on a black background. I'll try to do that I don't even know if it's something I'll physically be able to do and my fiance's cognitive skills are so poor since her stroke that she can't even answer the phone so she's unable to help me with that. Next week, he goes to the hospital for 5 days. They take her off the anti-seizure medicine she's on to try and look a seizure! Barbaric right? But the neurologist who we really trust thinks it's the only way to give her better medicine. He's actually a first guy of maybe 10 doctors that says that she could without having any seizures. And I believe he can back that up.

Hi Tone. This sounds very interesting so thanks for bringing us the info and I’m looking forward to when you can interview him. I know in one of John’s last interviews he spoke about going on tour after the second album came out. I had no idea that a tour was actually in the early prep stage. There is also that audio diary of John’s from September 1979, which of course pre dates the recording of Double Fantasy, in which John mentions how he’d like Sean to see Scotland and 1981 seems like a good year to do it. (Which always gets me when I hear it.) Anyway, this really sounds exciting. Thanks. For the Fantasy tour i can see him opening up with Starting Over. Obviously a good chunk from Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey. I could see him doing Come Together again and maybe Help in the slower way he said he wanted it.

What a fantastic video have you a great weekend also how is your day going ❤😊

Will this documentary feature any new unseen footage of John?

Congrats my friend! That is some coupe getting to talk directly to the director, and in typical 'Beatley Tone' fashion, passing that a long to the rest of us.This period of John's life is for me, still shrouded in mystery, but I think we are finally about to get, going by what you just said, possibly THE Lennon documentary we have always craved for? Not the usual rehash of the same information, and opinion, but one that could definitely fill in many blanks.Including John's future plans after, "Double Fantasy". I knew about a supposed appearance in a rally in San Diego? And touring the album. But never read or heard anymore, than this.Certainly no details as in who was on board for this world tour, or what a set list might be.The DVD alone sounds like it will a barn stormer when it is released, especially with all the added extra interview material. Like I said congrats mate, on really being the first, that I have seen, to not only talk with the director, but 'break' with all the juicy details on this forthcoming Lennon release. As Billy Connolly once said, in character, at the end of a certain mock-umentary "We wait with baited breath" 👍❤

Nice video, BT. Me and my partner visited Liverpool in November 2022, and had a superb four days. We pre-booked tours of Paul's and John's houses (I was surprised by how small Mendips was inside), and I was allowed to play a facsimile of Jim McCartney's piano in Paul's house. Not something generally encouraged. The guide at Mendips, Colin Hall, sold me two books he'd authored and co-authored, The Songs The Beatles Gave Away and Pre:Fab. Both quite decent reads. We also did the very inexpensive taxi tour of Beatles' places, which was great value at just £50 each for me and my partner. It was meant to last two hours, but was actually nearer three. We met up with my best friend who relocated to Liverpool about 15 years ago, and he joined us for the house tours and for a couple of drinks in The Grapes, plus a long walk around Liverpool's other Beatles' places. Hoping it's not too long till we return. It was a far nicer experience than when me and my mate made a pilgrimage there in 1984, when decades of government neglect had made the place tired and grimy. Sadly, it seemed like Liverpool people had little interest in the Beatles in the 1980s, but that's also changed now.

Hi Tone i have the status quo doc he did and this one should be even better i have not seen the jam one he did grateful for the info take care.

Thanks, Tone! You rock... I have told this before, but this video makes me worth telling again. 1995 august my band opens for the noel redding experience (sigh. Noel could no longer pkay!) and noel redding band has Earl Slick on 1 guitar. The nicest coolest dude from lake tahoe nevada...he talked to me about recording double fantasy AND tour that never happened. Said John wanted to do a retrospective of his career from beatles i want to hold your hand, help, strawberry fields, across universe and others that we will probably learn about. He was choked up talking about this and i quickly changed to talking shop (guitars,amps) and his home lake tahoe a majestic snow driven place. A superb guitarist btw For story completists. Noel redding experience was: Noel - bass vocals Anthony krizan - guitar vocals Earl slick - guitar vocals Vinny appice - drums Opening band - Napoleon Blown Apart

Well hi there mate wow I didn't know he did the Pepper film. I did like that one a lot . And the drink DR. Pepper.... LOL OK moving right along !!!! With all you are saying is verry interesting. And yes I am glad they are doing this + being 81 he is getting up there too. Clap clap clap I am so glad that they didn't bring that all up too about him being killed... So cool I do like the poster. Yes the tour for John way going to be big..... But so sad so sad yes. Wow you really got it all mate!!! Wow I sure would like to get the Directors cut. Win I did help out on the Beatles Anthology film. I did get a nice Director cut of that and yes much longer... Now back to you mate :). This sure dose sound just Fab mate!!! Thank you so much for this video and take care!!!!!!

Can't wait for this Tone. You've given out some amazing information about A 1981 John tour. Wow.

Sounds promising. Thanks Tone. Another great video

I agree, it's the best biography so far, and of course it's only one third complete. The only one that comes close is Man on the Run, which is also a really good, though faster paced, delve into Paul's life. I'm looking forward to Volume Two before Christmas (2024), all going well.

Wow. That was very exciting, I am really looking forward to this film - I hope I get to see it. Thanks for sharing this, and I can't wait to see your interview with Alan Parker on your channel!

Great video Tone really looking forward to the film sounds really interesting, we all miss John and George 😔🎸🎸🎸🥁

5k brilliant tone congrats buddy You mention the jam, been playing them lately! In your Ringo vid you also mentioned Robert Plant Alison Krauss album, love through the morning, through the night off that album.

The information about the planned tour is already fascinating. Quite exciting you were able to talk to Parker and pass what you found out on to us. Thanks, Tone!

Beatley My Friend, fantastic video, this documentary will be amazing with all the insight interviews, John will be Forever, I can’t wait to see it, to hear what he wanted in the tour, all the people who knew him, close to him, Set List would be fantastic, what he would have done, I miss him, Beatley will this be on Blu-ray , honest perfect film of John I can’t wait Thank You My Friend, how are you everything okay, you’re looking good, Takecare, Besafe, Always, Steve

Great..John Lennon stand by Me footage found 1975 !

More sleepy was a real scumbag that the way he screwed his artist that he managed especially Chuck Berry is deplorable. I agree with not mentioning the name of John's assassin I remember at the time it was thrown around like advertisements for breakfast cereal. These things give validation to people who murder someone. It's still happening today but not as badly with those people that want that sort of attention not it really sucks. My dad was murdered and didn't have any sort of good press about him. Actually, he was a New York mobster for real. And people ask me if he was a bad guy. I tell them no I loved him he was my dad. He was killed three days after my 8th birthday. He worked 6 days a week on his vending machine business he had pinballs and cigarette machines. And I remember when I was 6 years old that I had got a race car set for christmas. It used for see batteries. This is a 1970 6. Where there weren't 7-Elevens open 24 hours or anything like that in New York city. So my dad a master electrician even though he had worse vision than me who is blind. Hardwired that race car set to run on three batteries. So that's my father.

I guess you probably figured this out. But just don't be surprised if for some reason you stop getting press service from the Lynn estate. I would imagine this is not something authorized by the letten state. However, sometimes you have to go outside the official narrative of Apple records or other things to find facts that they don't like for political reasons. These things are unfortunate but that's part of business. So standing strong getting behind something you truly believe in that Womack is a great guy and is doing a great job with now Evans memoirs and photos that next book is going to have twice as many photos he had said. So that's going to be really cool. So still not happy with not being able to comment on the live stream yet, this is probably some sort of ineptness with TH-cam or simply my inability to figure out what to do. So typically, there's a place to put comments right below the like and dislike buttons dot that wasn't there for your stream. I don't know why. I'm going to throw this one on youtube. And wish you the best. Thanks.

All right, you win.

I really enjoy your channel and appreciate your commentary. 👏👍

Thanks for sharing I'm excited now for this film release now.

Hello Tone, this is really interesting. I think I have read one interview with John where he mentioned that he would play songs from all parts of his career in future tours. He mentioned "I want to hold your hand" and "Help". But to get that full list, would be really interesting. Looking forward to see this movie when it comes out!.

Can we expect a Yoko approved white washing with the obseqouis Eliot Mintz .

Hope Jack Douglas on doc and mentions Street of Dreams..........

Huge update! Thanks. Now I can't wait for movie. Lots of new info. I assume this would be a rehash of old Lennon stuff. I was wrong. I just ordered the Sgt.Pepper movie by Mr. Parker. Kudo's to you on getting call from Mr. Parker and look forward to interview when movie comes out.

Hey Beatley Tone, excellent video I’m very interested in seeing this movie and will be getting the blurey!! I wonder will Paul and Ringo be included in the interviews? Is the sgt pepper movie the same one that was included in the sgt. Pepper box set? That was Great. Take care Tone thanks for sharing this information Take Care!!!

Brilliant video Tone as always, thanks for the info. Great that the Director spoke with you. Your looking great mate take care Tone.

Hello Beatly Tone, glad you’re feeling better. Looking forward to seeing John Lennon’s new Documentary next spring, will there be a Soundtrack Album & CD release of John Lennon’s music 🎵 similar to the Imagine Movie 🎥 Thankyou for the update! Stay well!

Hi Beatley Tone. Hope you are continuing to do well. This is such exciting news. I cannot wait for May/Junes 2025. Ones things for sure, I will most certainly be buying the extended Director's Cut.

Morning Tone, wow what an interesting interview you had. Really excited to see this documentary , it sounds like it was done right to say the least . I had been thinking there would be no new things about John left to tell, but it looks like this will be the one to see. Thanks for all of this great info, take care!

I think the drawing and stage will look a bit like David Bowie's Glass Spider tour......

Hello Mr. Beatley Tone I am very excited about this nude John Lennon documentary and I’m also very happy to know that it is gonna concentrate on the last years of John’s life rather than concentrating on his assassination Now that you have this information, it is clear that even though this documentary is gonna have Talking Heads the stories that they’re going to tell will be very interesting because these are people who knew John well It is also very interesting to know that John was planning a tour in 1981 Now like you and like most of us, I also don’t know what the set list is gonna be, but what I did hear from Yoko was that he was going to sing I Wanna Hold Your Hand and if I am not mistaken, while he was singing this song, he was supposed to get on his knees and hold Yoko‘s hand That would have been very beautiful, and it makes me very sad to know that John wasn’t able to do it, but the angels needed him in heaven I am also really looking forward to when you actually do a video interview with the director I’m sure it’s gonna be an awesome interview Thank you very much for sharing this information with us Blessings to you and your family and I will catch you on the next video

amazing video, IN Oct 1980 it was announced John would tour in UK papers, I remember reading it, Europe and Japan? I also found out he was going to play New Zealand, he was going to play ..I want to hold your hand live also maybe she loves you, 2 songs he was planning to re-record. He also recorded a new version of Strawberry fields in studio in 1980 with new guitar rhythm , which was meant to sound amazing, not sure if he sang on it? Hope Street of Dreams exists which was described to me by Jack Douglas. Films sounds very good, but tour plans heartbreaking..........

Wow. Tears welling up just hearing about the film. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Great news Beatley Tone your looking great Tone hope your doing well! So much good news coming out Beatles and solo Beatles so much to keep up with! Nice of Director to talk with you! Thank you for bringing us so much news keeping everyone informed can't wait to hear your interview with your director friend! Next week Solo George then Disney plus Beatles 64 vinyl plus all these Beatle john projects movies and so much more nice to be a Beatles fan Thanks Tone great video!

As a lifelong Lennon fan I find this documentary a very mouth watering prospect indeed. As you say, a lot of those connected with John and Yoko in this last decade of his life are not getting any younger and it is historically important to get their take on this period on record, film,. video, page e.t.c. As many have already passed on, for example Leon Wildes John's immigration lawyer, passed away several years ago, but did write and publish his account of this time in a very fascinating book indeed. Eliot Mintz has just published his book about his time with the Lennons, so I wonder if he's involved in this film. Having enjoyed Alan's movie about Sgt Pepper both at the cinema and on Blu ray, I am looking forward to this new documentary immensely. In closing, on seeing the poster for the film, and having visited the Dakota in October, I was surprised to see that the entrance where John was shot was a lot smaller than I imagined (if you'll pardon the pun) All the photo's I've ever seen in books and magazines all make it look this huge place, which to me it didn't seem, however it was a sobering time to be stood there only yards away from where we all lost John. But moving on from this we must always celebrate his incredible life and all the amazing music he made and the pleasure, happiness, joy and inspiration it gave to all of us as fans. So here we are with another Lennon project to look forward to next may/june. I can't wait...
