8th Earl, also of Kintyre???

If Yoko can send cops as goons to beat up the author, couldn't she have also sent a hitman for John?

This pattern of seclusion isnt the first from John. When he discovered LSD in the mid 60s he would hide out and be high in his house 24/7.

All hail the thief.

All the "Whirled" is a stage. Always a body double waiting for the cue to perform.

Don’t you think that Jane later simply had plastic surgery on her ears and fixed her teeth?

Loved this video, thanks. However, I had one lingering question; if Mike Williams is correct in asserting that both Lennon and McCartney - from childhood - are 'in the club', so to speak... what does this mean for Brian, in the early days of The Beatles? Because - from this presentation - it looks like we're generally confronted with a bunch of people (The Beatles, included) who are green to the overall agenda, who get sucked into the club by way of the music industry, and ultimately by Paul's death. Forgive me, as I'm not wanting to be divisive, just want to understand if there is a family history link with the cult or not. Actually, an addenda to that question might be is Stuart Sutcliffe's death also linked to 'the club'?

Very well narrated story. I do think Jim McCartney's account that he visited the Cavern during his lunchtime to be true, even giving Paul the order for tea. You have to remember that Paul had lost his mother to cancer a few years earlier so Paul and his dad would have had to rely on each other more. Also, Peter Brown worked at Lewis's which was across the road from the first NEMS on Gt. Charlotte St and not Whitechapel. I live in Liverpool so know the geography of the area.

Yoko had an affair with Sam Havadtoy in 1978. When John died she had a b/f all set up and ready to go. She was with Havadtoy for the next 20 years.

All the original songs are about birds, There’s a Place starts ok, but then he goes about thinking about a bird, and the I love you. Bleugh!

Dear Kat, I really appreciate your work (and your sexy voice and intonation!), and have readily and happily gone through the almost three hours of this most interesting video. But I find in it no evidence against the Beatles composing and playing these songs. Both you and (to an even greater degree) Mike Williams over-emphasise the alleged musical illiteracy of the boys, which would make the composition of these songs impossible for them, but musical knowledge has many dimensions to it. The members of the band were talented and avid music listeners, who picked up and freely used lots of deep and advanced musical ideas, whether from rock and roll, popular music (composed by professional musicians) picked up on the radio, cinema, theatre and vaudeville music, even classic, and I'm sure their brains managed vast libraries of quite sophisticated sing-alongs which, though unable to write down in full on a staff, they were quite apt at freely using and mixing and re-creating, on a "la-la-la" and "hmmmmm" basis. They went with their modestly strummed very good ideas to Martin, and it was HIM who added all those diminished sevenths and Neapolitan chords and frills. It was enough for him to say to John, Paul and George: "Do this with your guitar in that part, and see how nice it sounds". Kat, I think you badly overshoot all over the place, but your appraisal of such a trivial little song as "Do You Want To Know a Secret" is well over the top. Not because it's wrong, I admire your musicology, but because of your implication that one has to KNOW all that theory and history of music in order to come up with a little tense, dramatic but quite simple deceptive introduction leading to a rather trivial repetitive melody, a gambit to which Lennon would come over and over again (witness "If I Fell", "Help!" and quite a few others). Your way of arguing would have us believe that the builders of the great cathedrals of the past went through a decades-long, non-computer-aided, overwhelming mathematical analysis of structures, stresses and materials resistance before they set about building. They didn't. In fact, they never trod into an Architecture Faculty of some posh University in their lives!

Live and love

Everything is so entangled, overwhelming and confusing ... What the hell is a song named "Maggie's Farm" doing in a Famous Groupies album? I know song names are not copyrighted, but "Maggie's Farm" is SO Dylan that you just can't (or can you?) issue a song with that name. It's as if someone turned up with a song called "Hey Jude!". Also, in "Cry, Baby, Cry" you have this "Duchess of Kircaldy, always smiling and arriving late for tea", and at the same time we have a Kircaldy in this strange Famous Groupies thing .... The EVIL of it all is downright maddening!

I'm currently reading Memoirs and it's kicking my ass and blowing my mind. Honestly, it reads at times like an espionage novel, like when Billy is finally introduced to John. That to me, is where the plot really kicks into high gear.

Agree with you 100%. Great research and video.

I think Jane had a face lift and nose job.

So where is the interview with Billy? Fake author, fake publisher. Admitted fiction 😮

I think the Rutles got Yoko spot on in their parady of the Beatles.

Why would they keep the "jane asher" character going for so long?

It was going so well until just after the three quarter an hour mark when you made the ridiculous statement that The Beatles didn't play the instruments themselves on their early albums! Complete rubbish. The first four albums contained a total of 18 cover versions plus the 3 on the Long Tall Sally EP. Most of which they had been performing for years in Hamburg and Liverpool etc plus BBC sessions. By your logic how did the Beatles perform these songs live or on the BBC recordings (I take it that you've listened to those?) if they hadn't learned how to play them? The remaining 46 songs were their own compositions so who would know how to play them better than they did? I think what many people today fail to appreciate was just how prolific the Beatles were and how impressive their work rate was.

Years ago in the early 90s I was playing with a Blues Band , we did at least three to four gigs a week .after being with them year and a half we went in the studio to make a recording that we could give to fans We booked a four hour session in a local Studio set up and played a 45 minute set straight through which became the album The mixing took up the rest of the session , I’ve read that the Beatles did much more than this in the 3 years before getting a recording contract , why is it so unrealistic that they could achieve this

What about Geoffrey Emerick ‘s book

I think Kesey was a raving psychopath. I read Electric Kool-aid Acid Test and it was one long run-on sentence of insanity. They'd fry some poor novice's mind with too many drugs and then just dump them into the ditch along the road.

Hey Cat. Thanks for all of this. Amazing work. It actually resonated with me when I got to the end. On another point, just seen the variant Band On The Run album covers. Are you a aware of these? Blew my mind again!

So now you're doubting Carol King wrote Chains. Did anyone write anything? This is getting crazy.

What about PRINCE. He wrote a TON of music over 10 years time. Where did he get his songs from? Some ideas came from others but still, He wrote and arranged it. Recorded it. Why him, one guy?

Why do people want to believe Paul was killed. Its so easy to prove this wrong. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You can't pull off that plastic surgery today never less in the 60s. and wouldn't it have gone bad like everyone eles's ? Your proof is a fictional book. Writen by WHO????? And who was that in the 80s? Was BILLY in WINGS.

I find now after looking at past concerts like end of summer how they switched pauls in middle of a concet the real paul is more humble on stage the faul paul is more lead with george and john he goes out first on stage john second original paul let john go first. I also been wathing billys hair seems like a wig in so many shots not real hair. stays pretty solid no movement like natural hair. any way u got me thinking

Could they have replaced Jane because she was in love with the real Paul and didn't want to play along with his sacrifice so they had to replace her?

I am not mad! I questioned this over the past year after watching the Masque of Red Death. Looking at pics over time of Jane, I easily concluded that I am not looking at the same person. The trauma of Paul’s death, being forced to go along with the ruse after his replacement, and her father’s own demise, plus what she knew … there would be ample reason to replace her. Had news of her passing just been published, the negative publicity for Billy would have drawn more scrutiny, versus the scrutiny they desired (PID) to convince people that it was a marketing ploy. I appreciate this presentation so much .. The Deep End speculation; anything is possible at this point.

As well as relaying all the electrical cables and other equipment the roof as had to be reinforced to sustain all the the weight etc, giving way to the myth that it was an impromptu performance.

I must say every time it shows them rehearsing all they seem to be doing is is just messing about and not actually being serious or dedicated to what they are doing.

I am six foot and my two sons are of a similar height and we all take an eight shoe size, so not really unusual.

The PID belief, to me, is totally unconvincing. The idea that the Beatles did not write their own songs (particularly the Rubber Soul era stuff) is convincing as I see no way of McCartney and Lennon having developed such an ability in such a short period of time and being able to basically have nothing going into the studio and then everything they tried in a two week window turned into gold with no duds left on the cutting room floor. But I have to admit, I listen to your channel because of that very sexy voice! LOL

I'm interested In Fred Seamans account of his time with John & Yoko, but this is bit like listening to two gossiping, giggling women. I lost interest once I heard you refer to Paul as 'Billy'. Deluded to say the least.
