yep, but now we have all this wonderful over-priced, fascist, corporate police-state technology to make us happy. odd, how, after the "left" betrayed their principles and abandoned their goals throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, it appears the fascists still have the upper hand. you know what's weird? i just realized there's a correlation between the break-up of the beatles and the rise of global fascism. since 1970 fascism has been incrementally increasing from decade to decade. kinda makes you think, don't it?
I was surprized to learn, particularly as Smothers did this with JL, that later, when JL was with May Pang for the 18 months he was, he showed up drunk & heckled the Smothers Brothers doing their act.
@@JP51ism Yes that's true except I will add it was John Lennon along with Harry Nilsson, both drunk off their asses who were kicked out of the Smothers Brothers show at the Troubadour Club in LA. Can you imagine being the person who can say you bounced John Lennon...LOL! That was the Lennon period known as the Lost Weekend, which was actually an 18 month period where Lennon and Nilsson went on a drinking binge together. in LA. They became part of the drinking club called the Hollywood Vampires while in LA,. Its was Lennon, Nilsson, Mickey Dolenz, Keith Moon and Alice Cooper. Can you even imagine!
I came here to say RIP to that guitar player, one of our heroes. He always made me laugh. “It's hard for me to stay silent when I keep hearing that peace is only attainable through war.” -- Tommy Smothers
February 2024 In the name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit, dear God, through Your intercession, please stop all war & aggression. Let us live in PEACE. Amen. Thanks for praying with me.
May all the gods bless your naivity! When, in the many thousands of years of human history, has any GOD or GODDESS really ensured peace? Muslims fight against Christians and Jews; Christians fight against Muslims and Jews; Jews fight against Muslims... And all this in the name of ONE God? A GOD who only needs all these wars for his own amusement? IF THIS GOD really had the power to end wars, and if humanity's disputes weren't just entertainment for THIS ONE GOD, there would be no more wars in this world for a long time! If any god or goddess really had the power to influence human behavior, ALL of his/her followers would long ago be victors in all disputes... It is a sad truth that the more religious a person is, the more he/she loses their ability to criticize and reason!
The aggressor nation of Russia and aggressive terrorist organization of Hamas really DGAF about peace and they especially DGAF about freedom, or your freedom of expression. Peace at the expense of freedom is not peace at all. But in general I agree. Know war, no peace. No war, know peace.
@@jeffreyenglish1815 one song of John's solo career and you can pick any one, it overshadows Paul's entire solo career. After they broke up anyone with eyes and ears could see who was the true talent and creativity core of the group.
Yes John, thank you for your unwarranted heir of superiority and the preaching of ideals that you didn't follow in your personal life. People put too much emphasis on John Lennon the person. The only respect he gets from me it is as a musician. As far as being a person goes he could of walked off a cliff with the rest of them for all I care lol Nobody to write home about indefinitely not somebody to thank
@@jaykapolka6111 Not following ideals? Lol that’s a joke of a statement. Did Bob Dylan follow his ideals more than John Lennon? Maybe only Bob Marley. NOBODY else used his platform for change more than John Lennon. He got KILLED for speaking out so honestly and powerfully. Haters gonna Hate but John put it out there for the world, paid the price, and still inspired millions for who he was. His Music and his person are NOT separate. You wanna focus on his negative traits, great, go ahead and miss out on all his greatness
@@hw343434 bullshit bullshit bullshit. He got killed for speaking freely? He got killed because he was a hypocrite and a psycho didn't like it. Name one thing he changed. One. And please make it a good one and something that's not completely laughable
@@hw343434 the dude treated people like shit his whole life. His own son admits it. People act like he was this Beacon of peace and Light. Now I'm hardly one to throw the first time but I also admit I'm not the best person. John should have tried the same. He showed everybody that peace and love except his family lol. Also he was known to treat people like shit all the time. You obviously know this. But you probably choose to ignore it. And quit bringing up other artists. Completely irrelevant. We're talking about John Lennon. If anything Paul McCartney was more honest about what he was then John was. So yeah I'll say it once again. He preached ideals he didn't practice in his personal life. Musicians aren't supposed to preach to begin with
@@jaykapolka6111 he was changing towards the end of his life. He made bad decisions when he was younger but he grew as a person and these messages he put out are more important than anything anyone else did, no matter how wrong his past had been.
I deeply agree with you. This song I agree with. I am frightened for me and my family’s life in this conflict. I am crying listening to this song thinking about what is going on. I am scared for the future xo Rev. Lorie Gonta
Das ist heute schon ein historischer Song und geht immer noch um die ganze Welt. Es sind 53 Jahre her, da war John Lennon 29 Jahre alt.. Ruhe in Frieden. Die Menschheit hat ein Recht auf Frieden ohne Krieg.
I'm 67 now, and back when I was about 12, I heard my neighbours playing this song! I asked them who sang it etc and they kindly lent it me for a week, until my parents bought me the single. I was very much into peace songs even at that young age, and still am. Unfortunately the world still hasn't caught on with the whole peace and love stuff as yet! 😢✌️😍💙🇬🇧🏴
we need more SANITY in our world. less delusional fanaticism and more acceptance of reality. we need MORE PEOPLE who give a damn. more people who refuse to play the game that enslaves us all and pits us against each other.
I danced with Tom Smothers on top of Nob Hill in San Francisco in 1977. He and Dick were playing in SF when we held a benefit for a fellow performer who had been shot and paralyzed and they asked to join in. All the theatre and music people in SF performed and the drama and music critics were the ushers. It was an amazing night. Tom was a great man. A fighter ahead of his time. RiP I also lived two blocks from John Lennon when he was assassinated in New York. So this video has many layers of meaning for me. Thanks for sharing it.
Just sitting here and listening after seeing Yoko's Twitter posting. Wondering where the years have gone. And how many of them could have been Peaceful if the world took this song to heart. Imagine. Love you too.
Two years later and things are even worse- children being blown to bits in Gaza and Ukraine, facsists with Nazi tattoos rampaging in the streets and setting fire to mosques. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!
Hello dear, I might be late in response! but I would love to thank you for loving my music ambitions and support, where are you from? and how long have you been my fan?🎸🎧🎶🎻
@@Chasericemusic015 This is Claudia Heiowski reolying Sean. L0ved your father's (& Paul's, Ringo;s, and George;s) music ever since the release of their 1st. song. Was it not: Help?

Problem is, now all the young people want to hear now is rap about guns, gang, drugs, money, sex and complete arrogance. So if one of these untalented hiphop practitioners starts trying to talk about peace they will be immediately shunned, however, if they talk about violence they will be embraced, praised and paid.
@@Alan-su5bg Have you ever heard of dementia, you asshole? Your brain deteriorates and everything you once knew disappears, you become an entirely different person from the person you once were, you can't even remember who you once were. Eventually you get to a point where you can't even dress yourself because you forget, the part of your brain that had that memory is literally *dead!* You're not gonna stay young forever, so have some fucking compassion!!
Yoko...what would John say in 2020 with everything happening? My dad introduced me to the Beatles...he lived through the 50's and 60's and he can't believe we're still seeing those same issues unresolved. This song brought me to tears today...
@Me Queimou Zé John 14: 27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
One of the best legendary songs of john lennon . I agree most relevant today. He was a futuristic, top gun song writer. His song lyrics have stood the test of time from imagine, stand by me, and give peace a chance highly incredible, celtic, imaginative and down to earth songs
RIP Tommy! Kudos to you and your brother Dick for taking on the establishment during The Nixon Administration and spotlighting the terrible and shameful Vietnam War at the cost of your hit variety show in 1969.
The fact that Petula Clark of all people ended up on this track speaks to the character of everybody in that room. We so readily marginalise people into groups and artists into genres when all we really ought to see are two expats making the best of what remains of the night, with friends, far away from home. There's something wonderfully platonic and human about the whole thing, and it's not the sentiment that makes you stop and think, it's the realization that we don't experience as often as we know we ought to.
Still makes my hair stand on end, my skin tingles and now I feel sad….but, no surrender…peace and love a simple message, but boy dont we need to shout it more than ever. Miss John. ❤️
Even after all these years, this brings tears to my eyes. I cannot listen to it on anything but "loud." It's been a world changing, life changing work.
Rest In Peace Tommy Smothers. Not only were you important in this world, You were important in the Beatle World. You were in the Give Peace a Chance video and session with John & Yoko, you also had George Harrison, and Ringo Starr on your TV program. John Lennon was also at your performance at The Troubador in California. That was the night that John Lennon and Harry Nilsson had a bit too much to drink, and were asked to leave for Heckling the Smother Brothers.
This message makes so much sense. Crazy that peace, love and caring for nature is not the top priority It is the only way for everyone. Hopefully someday soon it will be.
Soy de PERÚ de los pueblos más alejados y escucho esta letra de mi mentor jhon lennon y se que pronto llegará esa paz que tantos años estoy esperando saludos para todos, y bendiciones
El mensaje que siempre quiso dar John Lennon, ya fuese como solista o en gran parte con The Beatles, fue el amor, pero sobretodo paz. La cual se vio reflejada en su trabajo como solista con una canción que se volvió el himno de la paz junto a “Imagine” (otra gran canción). “Give Peace A Chance” Se convirtió en un himno del movimiento contra la guerra de Vietnam en 1970. Paz y Bien para el Mundo!!
モントリオールに行ったとき、ひょんなことからクイーン・エリザベス・ホテルのこの部屋に泊まることになりました。部屋にはJohn ＆Yokoさんの写真がたくさん飾られていて、ビートルズのファンだった私は、ここでお二人が平和を訴えるパフォーマンスをされたんだと思うと、とても感慨深かったです。Pray for Peace 🌿🕊
@Aaron thingy ha! Lennon wrote that Gorgeous little ditty over 40yrs ago. That didn't work. Trumpsky 's in charge. He adores chaos theory. Ignore the auld git. Surfing USA.
No utilices la canción de John Lennon para el beneficio de un país en concreto porque el tema musical y gran éxito de John Lennon es un himno para la paz y ahora que esta la guerra de Rusia con Ucrania debemos ser coherentes y pedir la paz para todos la paz para los dos países y que nadie deseé la guerra. Ucrania no es una víctima y la Guerra se puede parar. Sólo es cuestión de nosotros. #PrayForPeace 🏳 ☮

I was born in the 2000s and I love John Lennon's songs! in modern songs there is no such deep meaning and warmth!
Rest In Peace Tommy Smothers. Not only were you important in this world, You were important in the Beatle World. You were in the Give Peace a Chance video and session with John & Yoko, you also had George Harrison, and Ringo Starr on your TV program. John Lennon was also at your performance at The Troubador in California. That was the night that John Lennon and Harry Nilsson had a bit too much to drink, and were asked to leave for Heckling the Smother Brothers.
Asked to leave, is a lovely way of putting it.
Tommy Smothers came through my checkout a couple of times, lived close to my town...really Decent man. 💚
Thank you John and Thank you all for keeping the dream alive. Maybe one day our power of love will overcome
it will for sure !!! I'm also a dreamer of peace from my childhood, many think that peace is boring but other way around !!!! :) :)
Jeez I was born in '67. I still love this man.
John was shot on my birthday December 8th, after that I no longer celebrated my birthday
Ich bitte Sie, Ihren Geburtstag wieder zu feiern, denn John hat es geschafft, den Krieg in Nam zu beenden.
This message makes so much sense. Crazy that peace, love and caring for nature is not the top priority It is the only way for everyone. Hopefully someday soon it will be.

🌏困難にぶつかった時こそ遠くを見る。本当の意味での嘘偽りのない自然の力がどんなに勇気づけれるか。どんな苦しみの中にいても生きることは喜びに満ちている。どんな未来が来ようとも、愛情にもとづいた人間の行動こそが問われる。これからはますます愛を大切にする時代とともにみんなの思いと故郷を思うひとり一人の弱者と当事者の思いを合わせて、これから人生をまだまだ長く続いていく自然を破壊しないさせないエネルギーと一緒に、どのように受け継いでいくか……、自然の力とともに人類が試されている時かもしれません🌻ありがとうYoko Onoの音楽の魂とともに生まれ来る子供達の声とともにひとり一人の弱者と当事者の声とともに魂の叫びとともにネバーギブアップとともに平和の文化を築き上げる🌏🌻🌏🌻🌍🌻
Meu ídolo...pela eternidade...
Amooo John Lennon...
If you think of Peace, it's forever!
John was simply an AMAZINGLY talented man. I consider him the Messiah of my generation.
This song is needed more than ever regarding the conflict in Ukraine started by Russia
*America
We need this now more than ever
You are so beautiful Yoko.
This put a smile on my face. What isn't possible with a good hook, some simple harmony, and a great concept? Peace out, Yoko.
it's amazing how he could move the world from sitting in a bed. only john lennon could do that
Look like kids just having a big sleepover.
The person next building over saved the world...created it also.
Easy to lie in your bed and do nothing for a week.
I've done it.
Such an great Talent John was, had to go way much to soon🙏
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE 🕊☮
Powerful as ever. What a song.
Soy de PERÚ de los pueblos más alejados y escucho esta letra de mi mentor jhon lennon y se que pronto llegará esa paz que tantos años estoy esperando saludos para todos, y bendiciones
El mensaje que siempre quiso dar John Lennon, ya fuese como solista o en gran parte con The Beatles, fue el amor, pero sobretodo paz. La cual se vio reflejada en su trabajo como solista con una canción que se volvió el himno de la paz junto a “Imagine” (otra gran canción). “Give Peace A Chance” Se convirtió en un himno del movimiento contra la guerra de Vietnam en 1970. Paz y Bien para el Mundo!!
All we are sayin is give peace a chance. Love it. Amen. How beautiful.
No a la Guerra en Ucrania toda la Hunanidad entera a escuchar este Gran Classico de Musica Grande Jhonn Lennon Que en Paz Descanse"
Brilliant man, amazing message. Hardly any security! Miss you John 😘. Uk 🇬🇧
yeah my birth year! And YES great song - give peace a chance!
Long Live John Lennon & Yoko Ono... Care Share Love & Respect Always Forever from Montréal
John siempre estarás en mi corazón..
Feliz cumpleaños!!!
Saludos desde México!!
I gracias johon por decir una vedad e viva la paz en el mundi y viva mexico
This is what I call a belter off this song and I think it's a great remix of the team and the plastic Uno band and Mr Lennon Richard McGeechan ❤😂
Lieber John wenn du es Wüsstest
Was Los ist 🥺😢😭
Maybe Yoko Ono should be peace negotiater. She is neutral, openminded, japanes, and she could cope with a difficult person like John Lennon. Right?
It is such a simple concept and beautiful
モントリオールに行ったとき、ひょんなことからクイーン・エリザベス・ホテルのこの部屋に泊まることになりました。部屋にはJohn ＆Yokoさんの写真がたくさん飾られていて、ビートルズのファンだった私は、ここでお二人が平和を訴えるパフォーマンスをされたんだと思うと、とても感慨深かったです。Pray for Peace 🌿🕊
I Just want a Peaceful Earth for Christmas.
great song i like the beat to that i can remember sitting in the living room and that song came on the wirless keep up the great sing richard
Stiil no Peace ! 2019 Sad But True !
I’m all for peace, but this video is just so lame lol
@@aunch3 this video is 50yrs old. That's why. fading away..
@Aaron thingy ha!
Lennon wrote that Gorgeous little ditty over 40yrs ago.
That didn't work.
Trumpsky 's in charge.
He adores chaos theory.
Ignore the auld git.
Surfing USA.
43 years and this is still so relevant! Pray for Peace in Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏
Forgot how old I am. Stand corrected. It was 53 years ago.
Pray for Peace 🇺🇦
Im praying since the first day and I wont stop doing it lets pray
@@jrc4168 🇺🇦🕊🕊🕊🙏
Please help where u can. We want PEACE for all!🇩🇪
No utilices la canción de John Lennon para el beneficio de un país en concreto porque el tema musical y gran éxito de John Lennon es un himno para la paz y ahora que esta la guerra de Rusia con Ucrania debemos ser coherentes y pedir la paz para todos la paz para los dos países y que nadie deseé la guerra. Ucrania no es una víctima y la Guerra se puede parar. Sólo es cuestión de nosotros. #PrayForPeace 🏳 ☮
America didn t change since 1969 till now ...they are always the main cause of any war ....
Unforgettable John Lennon!
Song for Peace that Will not Fade for next 100 yrs!!
GLAD I LIVED .......those times .......still an aging hippie haha.........LOVE THE BEAT .......RIP JOHN ......Yoko is still kicking ..92? 93?

@@nikipapadopoulou5035 I've loved
Greece, already since 2000 I've
travelled in Greece: Santorini (2000),
Rhodes (2013), Kos (2018) and
Santorini (2019). This year 2022
should travel in Rome, Italy, in the
summer, if Lady Fortuna favors.
This man was right on, he really had a vision and an idea but alot of people refuse to give it a chance. And it still sits there waiting for us to try some.
Wir brauchen 53 Jahre später wieder viele JL's 🎸🥁🗣🎙🎤📣🔈🔉🔊🔔🎓
Today at 8:45 am radio stations all around Europe will play this song
They should make it a regular thing until...peace.
Jhon Lennon nos dejó este gran mensaje. Oremos por la paz mundial Hermanos .
2021 and we still say give peace a chance, R. I. P. John
2024 and it seems even less people are saying it. :(
John was my idol ❤ and still is
This was recorded in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. When I was 8. And remember it on the news. You can rent that room it’s like a museum. Cheers from Montreal
TRUELY GREAT TRACK, FROM A TRUELY GREAT ARTIST!🇬🇧🇺🇦
