The most surprising thing was that over a dozen people, who didn't know each other, played in perfect time. This also thanks the "granpa" drummer who rocks better than many young people 👍
@@The_whimsickal_artist wonderful to be able to see the videos of the vigil for John on the 8th. Hard to believe its 43 years. All that talent and integrity wiped out by a gratuitous act of violence.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The song, the setting, the situation sad as it is, and the people. Thank you for this. Love from Ireland. John's not gone - forgive me my trespasses into cliché territory - when people get together and listen to The Beatles and John's work, or do so on their own. Love to all those who read this.
John , como tantos otros músicos seguirá vivo en cada un de nosotros al escuchar sus canciones . Y su legado , continuará transmitiendo de generación en generación 😢
It's so heartwarming to see all of you lovely people who turn up in New York for John Lennon and just watching how much love there is for John and the Beatles and for each other. Thank You So Much. All You Need Is Love from the UK 👏✌️🙏♥️
This is beautiful,blacks and whites and almost every nationally paying tribute to JOHN LENNON singing his "new" song at strawberry fields memorial park.John would've been proud somewhere,he is smiling brardly❤.
OMG!!!! NYC holding it down on December 8th, 2023!!! Thank you. MY HOMETOWN. ALWAYS in my HEART. I'm in Florida right now but used to go every year on John's Bday and day of his passing. I know what it feels like to be there in person. All walks of life, all ages - so gorgeous!!!!! Thank you!!!
Yes, I remember that night now more than 43 years ago, when my sister had her boyfriend drive all of us to the Dakota Apartments. Just hours after the news broke, I could not believe the amount of people the had gathered, remaining through the night. In all these years later it's so amazing how the love, presence and memories of John Lennon are always with us. Strawberry Field Forever 🕊
I am so glad that New Yorker's still come together to celebrate John at his public memorial. If you have never been to Strawberry Fields in Central Park, go. It is a small but beautiful place where John's spirit hangs out, most likely.
@@Resgerr I have a friend from Liverpool. I hope to get there at some point. If it wasn't for the Fab Four, I wouldn't be a singer-songwriter, recording artist today. Thanks for your response! Take care.
i'm a newer fan, only 24 years old myself. Now And Then was of mythical status only a few years ago, something people would say in hushed whispers... "they tried it in the 90s and gave up" or "Paul wants to finish it someday" was the full extent of information we had on the song for so long, and it is CRAZY to me, sitting here right now, to think this is a new bona fide Beatles classic. Bravo!
The only thing that held Now and Then up was back in the 90’s the technology necessary to separate the piano from John’s voice. Didn’t really help that George called Now and Then rubbish because of that reason. Had George still been alive when they actually finished the song he probably would have continued working on it with McCartney, and Ringo.
What a wonderful resurrection of the Beatles this song is and it is John's song, the first of the Beatles to go... and now to come back. And what a tribute to him that he is remembered every year at Strawberry Fields in Central Park. What a tribute to the Beatles: they are still a part of us and they still can produce a song that is sooo Beatles.
When I first heard the release of Now & Then, it reminded me of what was said to be John Lennon's last words to Paul McCartney during a visit to the Dakota Apartments - "Think about me every now and then old friend..." 🎸
Sending out a big hug to everyone there....beautiful rendition....everyone singing along, The boys would be proud....I actually have begun playing the song without choking up, after watching this, the tears are back..tears of joy, sadness, and thankfulness...God Bless...
Oui, quelle nostalgie.... Je me souviens, quà l'instant même, ou une radio annonçait, à grand renfort de pubs et d'excitation, qu'elle allait nous faire écouter un nouvel album des Beatles, mon cœur se mettait à battre la chamade. Je pourrais comparer ce moment, à un premier rendez-vous avec une petite amie dont vous follement amoureux. Je n'avais jamais connu ce sentiment pour des musiciens ou tout autres artistes. Et bien sûr, je n'ai jamais plus ressenti une telle sensation après la séparation des Beatles.
Fantastické, fantastické, fantastické a ještě jednou fantastické!!!👏👏👏👏💓💓 Miluji tuto písničku, zpíváte jí úžasně, měla jsem slzy V očích 🥹🥹 Včera jsem celý den myslela na Johna😭🕯️💓ách jo, škoda že jsem tam nemohla být s vámi,ale jsem až z České republiky, ách jo..🥹🥹
Emotional. I'm from Liverpool so I've been to lots of places The Beatles played. My Dad used to see them all the time. Been the Cavern dozens of times. But I visited Strawberry Fields in Central Park and cried like a baby
@@sandramarcic1058John is dead. Elvis is dead. There are not alive. They're bad to want them to be alive, but they're not. They've been dead for a long time. John's been dead 40 years. Elvis has been dead 40 years
@@michaelgonzales7668 To je moj komentar bio na komentar kako John leda potajno iz publike. Moj komentar je išao na taj komentar naravno nažalost u šali, a iskreno nisam oduševljena imitatorima onih koji su prvenstveno bili poznati i kojih više nema, pogotovo Elvisa, pa Michael Jacksona to mi je stvarno neprimjereno. Mogu voljet nekog pjevača i uživat u njegovoj glazbi koja je njegova ostavština i baština, ali se ne moram pretvarati da sam ja ta osoba. Vjerujem da me razumijete. Johnu R.I.P. i hvala na muzici koju je ostavio iza sebe.
Wow, thank you everyone! I had so many vibes from all the ‘eras’ of Beatles! So happy this is recorded somewhere, it truly made my day and isn’t that what it’s all been about since they started calling themselves ‘The Beatles’?
Great tribute. I was there on october 9th 2020 during the peak in the covid 19 surge, the weather was sunny warm and 65 degrees. There was a smaller crowd than the one in the video, John lennon's songs were sung, people gathered closely together. I could feel the presence the kind loving down to earth spirit of John lennon.
A big thankyou to all you talented musicians paying such a fantastic tribute to John. I applaud you all👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Your version of Now And Then was spot on. Much love from The Costa Blanca Spain 💃🏼🇪🇦😘Happy Christmas To You All.🧑🏻🎄🎄🧑🏻🎄🎄🎶🎵🎼🎤🎸

This Beatles song feels like it’s been around forever. Incredible.

It has been, in bootleg form

Así es. Lo cierto es que es una composición perfecta
John must be happy because everyone is singing together.Beautiful Tribute!!!
You can see him in the background in the minute 3:42.
I bet he's happy. Almost half a century away from that horrible self serving overbearing control freak woman . 😒🙄😤
He totally is ☮🎶
Why? John hated the others for quite a while.
@@Alefjj Doesn't look like someone in their 80's....sorry, I mean't dead.

John wouldn’t have believed his ears had someone from the future told him there’d one day be a big NYC singalong of his little demo scrap. Brilliant!
Imagine that! No way he would believe it.
43 years later. Incredible
This put a lump in my throat. Beautifully done. John would be very proud.
I'm sure he would!

There will never be a world without The Beatles or John Lennon. Peace and Love from beautiful Northern California.✌️❤️🥰
No one did beautiful chord changes like John Lennon. He just takes you to a better place, every time.
This chord progression is a well know melancholy walk, its been around the block. Sadly sweet paced piece. Peace
It’s great to see how John lives on, and will for years to come.
John and The Beatles forever!
God bless yoko. Sean Julian, family always in our hearts with. John
They don't live there anymore
You lost me at yoko… but yes, God Bless the rest of them 😊

Didn't take long for it to become a new Beatles classic.
I was actually lucky enough to visit Strawberry Fields in England. Nice tribute y'all!❤
Amazing to hear the new song already! Congratulations to everyone!
We love you John
When they go up an octave to sing ‘miss you’ hits your heart. So beautiful - this is such a masterpiece. Vale John and George

Great song and love out there💫
