George Harrison took the reaction to John’s comment in stride by saying “they had to buy our records to burn them”, meaning at least they still made money.
2:33 Yet there's the best rendition of Yesterday at Candlestick Park here on yt, as well as of Day Tripper. The Beatles did sing, not just opened their respective mouths
Bright woman, refreshingly matter of fact.
I would be surprised if she was anything less being related to John.
I loved this interview! What a soul!
I'm glad to see John's half sister she seems nice and my comment also is I didn't know interviewers ask so many personal questions now I can dig where The Beatles are coming from about interviewers
what an intelligent, insightful, wise, decent, articulate, self possessed person…and a bit of John’s fire when the interviewer offered that a couple of well known filmmakers felt that Magical Mystery Tour was one of the best films ever made…
“who are they to say so?, and you’ve fallen for it”….brilliant
That didn’t make sense to me! Why did it make her so cross?
@@allymayful well, while I can’t speak for Julia, I would say it is because as she says in interviews, she just knew John as john, her brother.
And it was the rest of the world that went crazy over them, and adored everything they did. I include myself in this, I/we would be happy to even have a film of them sitting on a bench staring at the wall… And while magical mystery tour features these four guys and their music that we love so much, it is hardly “one of the best films ever made”…. so as John‘s sister, she probably shares Johns feelings of
“we’re just a band, who made it very, very big, thats all” take on the Beatles.
She’s obviously a bit cultured as well, so she bristles a bit when people place unrealistic praise, or inappropriate praise on a song, film or any project that they may have done, just because we have this great love for them and their work.
we could say; “I really love magical mystery tour because it has the Beatles and their music in it”….. but we wouldn’t necessarily have to say it’s “one of the best films ever made”
… not saying that, wouldn’t have to take away from our appreciation of the film, we can still love it just as much because it’s them… It doesn’t detract from their value to not hail that movie as one of the greatest piece of art ever.
@@skipskiperton4992 l don’t think the producers said it was the best film. They valued it as a new concept in film making, that they enjoyed studying at University, or in their youth.
I love listening to her too. A lovely, down to earth, intelligent lady, who l would have imagined having a valuable friendship with John.
What struck me is Baird's personality is very similar to Cynthia Lennon/Powell.
First of all, MMT was very Avant-Garde type & not meant to be conventional in the first place. It’s a made for TV musical film, not a motion picture. Listed as comedy/surreal humor. Paul called MMT a success failure when interviewed by David Frost in 1967, also stating, he quite liked it, admitting it was “bitty” but was supposed to be like that but people were looking for a plot but there wasn’t one. What McCartney has since said about MMT if he was indeed ever asked, I’ve not read anything about that. McCartney conceived of the film & has been credited with leading the project. Now it has a cult following because it was The Beatles featured in the film along w/of course providing a Beatle music soundtrack
Julia is very intelligent like her mother and her half brother John.
Harrison was not a Buddhist as she says here but a Catholic who became a Hindu.
I was at Candlestick Park in 1966, and they did sing. The technology was not developed enough to allow the amps/ guitars/ voices to drown out the screaming.
Right< I've just left a word here, there are yt videos showing Yesterday and Day Tripper at CP
My birthday
They played on something like 30 W amps. The big groups in US had monster equipment of several hundred watts for each instrument.
In that way she is kind of right, they thought they are still in the Cavern.
@@krollpeter it seems the British were behind technically in the 60’s. Abby Road Studios had limited recording equipment compared to US studios.
@@sharynloshakoff5404 yep
Julia is such an amazing sweetheart. I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to meet her and have her autograph her book "Imagine This" in her presence. She is so down to Earth and sociable.
Julia seems so much friendlier and comfortable in this interview than what I saw in the past 😊
@@Robin-lh9wr She sure was more comfortable. It was difficult for her to talk about all this for a long time. She couldn't even bear listening to a Beatles song, especially one with John's lead vocals.
Thanks for your comments , they add even More emotional depth to Julia's feelings 🍃🍀🍂☘🍁🌿@@ray_ray_7112
This is most insightful, thank you.
(5:38) You cannot mention Lennon, Cohen and Dylan without mentioning Joni Mitchell! She is one of the most extraordinary poet/songwriters of our times.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this interview. What a sweet gal.❤
She's great! she does resemble John.
Julia looks sooo much like John! It's like looking at John if he had lived to be older. 😢😢
Kurt Cobain, in an alternative universe, alive in 2024 🎉
What an eloquent lady, I would love to hear more stories from her.
She has at least one book that has been out of which I’ve never gotten around to getting but would like to read. It’s probably available on Amazon
I must say, I could listen to Julia all day long, what a wonderful and lovely lady. And to hear about The Beatles, from her perspective is absolute gold. Thanks so much for uploading this tremendous interview and allowing us to see her side as John's sister.
As the world
He never meant to hurt Jews
Some nasty comments here. No manners. I loved Julia’s book
well, i didn't need to see that thumbnail. happy halloween everyone
I think the Beatles were very weary of too much popularity. That is why John made the Jesus comment. He was just telling the truth. I don't think he wanted to be hated over the comment, just a break. John did promote peace on earth, even though he was a rebel.
Loved this, really wonderful, so interesting. Thank you.
An excellent interview. Julia projected many thoughts of what it was really like and may have been like. An inside perspective of John and Beatles soul.
She looks so much like John -- or how John would actually look today -- that it's eerie. The resemblance is uncanny.
And yet John looks very like his father who is not related to Julia, weird.
@@petewingnut6827 Because that’s John
@@petewingnut6827no es raro, la genética es así, yo tengo medias hermanas y sin embargo nos parecemos.
@@anamariateresashellingvald301 If you look like the common parent maybe but that's not the case here. Not doubting your word, just an opinion.
@@petewingnut6827yeah I noticed that. Julia isn’t Freddy Lennon’s daughter.
Sean is a credit to jon an oko
Just watched Julia on a Terry Wogan interview.Is this the same lady ?Lovely lady🇬🇧🥰
Would love to meet her.
I think John was a great performer in Hamburg and the Cavern
This is SO fascinating!
beautiful and genuine
Amazing interview.. so insightful.. I was born in 1973.. discovered the Beatles around 1984 or 85 Abouts.. I had 45s of Twist and Shout, Please Please Me, I should have known better, there’s a place.. I was about 12 or 13 years old or so. My parents had a box of 8-tracks and I would sit on the floor with these gigantic headphones on and listen to Magical Mystery Tour and take note of how the train world go from one side to the other and just stare at the bazar cover.
My friends mom down the street gave me the White album record a few years later and I would set the speakers up on my desk and put my head in between the speakers and sing “Across the Universe.” And “Julia” totally immersed..
Just heard the new song “Now and Then” it’s a Beautiful and emotional track.
I plan go visit Liverpool next year on my birthday to fulfill a child hood dream
Accross The Universe is nowhere near the White Album, mate.
@@TheGuitarRiot oh yea it’s on Abby Road yea?
@@ChrisJohnsonChannel Actually, it's on Let It Be,
@@ray_ray_7112 ok didn’t have the albums infront of me thanks for the correction 👍
John and Julia respected one another I believe. Another strong lady in John‘s life of yesterday.
Thank you for a very interesting interview ❣️
Bang goes another myth
Everybody talking bout faggitz
Well said! Just because Speilberg said it etc does that make it etc Thank-you Julia. That explains how I feel about a lot of things. Best wishes.
her necklace is om shanti. George was into hinduism not Buddhism...
That's what I thought, too.
what a great interview!! I love that she thinks so much of John's lyrics being stories of his life - particularly his solo songs. They are all stories!! How many people actually listen to those amazing lyrics as deeply as Julia and myself have. Every time I hear John's songs and listen to the "stories" I shake my head in awe. How can anyone turn their life into poetry? He was a genius poet!
What a fantastically eloquent woman and historian of The Beatles.
She has a very slight Liverpool accent.
Why does everyone focus on George Harrison? Their were 3 other Beatles!!
🎉 I'm currently listening to this...xx
Interesting but a bit partial. She talks of John as if he lived with them.
Lennon went missing December 1980 and had a sex change. Here he is
Glasses is john for a 2000 years
It means give peace a chance
Sean is miles better than jude or whatever the lil wierdus name is
I always thought he meant the Jesus thing, about the way someone would say, "He's richer than God."
Julian is a credit to whats her name and paul
What a very interesting interview. I hung on to every word.
Nice to hear her impressions and memories of Colin, Rod and Cynthia, yet she was rather tight-lipped when Mimi was mentioned.
She's an important part of the overall story. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like she didn’t want to say anything negative in regard to Aunt Mimi. John still loved her even though he battled her tooth & nail in rebellion about many things
Dont he lik like hes paul
Im just a jeLous guy
Colin never played teachest bass, it was because he had a drum kit that Eric recommended him to John & he joined The Quarry men as their drummer. He did frequently practice at Johns mums house but Ms Baird was but a child at the time & unfortunately her recollections are suspect. As George once said…he who tells all he knows …..often tells more than he knows.😊
and you know this how????
Julia Jr has a beautiful accent
She has a cool voice too!!!!
Google yiu tube
excellent ¡
Gone gone gone
John Lennon turned out to be more musical than we thought...He played the guitar, the piano. the mouth organ. If he had lived on he probably would have went on to play keyboard & synth. I couldn't even play the recorder at high school. But was good at writing poetry after i left because i had the time.
John smith
Pretty girl. Lots to say, but in a good spirit. I hope she had a good life and a great marriage like I did until my spouse passed. I hope she is happy and her kids bring her joy. God Bless you Julia.
Chuki alagh
could not have someone else with better clarity, pitch and tone of voice conducted this interview, it def sounded like someone was strangling this interviewer ?? could barely make out what he was saying, Julia was very impressive in articulation and rapid speech coherent and intelligent.
Rats want jumping jack flash
@@AnthonyFarrow-hn9gz are we talking about the Beatles or the Rolling stones here??
Wonderful background! She has the Ring of authenticity.
TavisCrock institute had their grubby hands in that mess.
she looks the spit image of john. Yes i know she his sister.
Thanks Julia . All I need is the truth ❤
It will all come out one day
Be lvly to celebrate his songs again to world he was genius
Defo exposing the gat mGia war mongering shite
Gay mafia
Screaming started by paying a group of girls to scream at concerts and it spread. Part if the induced frenzy. It didn't evolve naturally.
There’s been screaming since Frank Sinatra & most likely before. I do believe it was natural for many-at least monkey see, monkey do as once the screaming started, others will follow suit.
😮😮 please clean up the hiss and volume of the interviewer... 💭
I had to fight to get a friend to listen to this informative moment, he couldn't get past the interviewer's voice ☺️☺️😂
After the hiss did disappear towards the middle of the interview, the interviewer did not have volume but Julia did so it was impossible to catch everything he was saying & asking
they are called "beat"poets--San Francisco started it
Have you read anything written by the Beats? Strictly a US phenomenon.
She's just lovely !
I see a resemblance
She is full of it!
I have a confirmed recording of candlestick park, they sang through every song, she didnt know it was their last gig...she is a spoofer!
Strawberry fields was started as far back as 1964, she is for the birds!
Yes and to say that the Beatles broke up over John’s remark-that’s crazy.
Rats
..they don't scream for Paul because he's no longer a teenager and neither is his audience. ..he's nolonger quite such the sex symbol at 75 predominantly❤
Many of McCartney’s fans still consider him a sex symbol. I never did as he’s not my type but I’ve luved The Beatles since 1963. Actually, I’ve never considered any of the Beatles as sex symbols. Wasn’t boy crazy like that w/any male, famous or not. Naturally, a teenager wouldn’t consider any old man a sex symbol. Most of McCartney’s fans are no longer young kids or teenagers either but it’s guaranteed he will fill a venue when he performs in concert & the cheering is sensational!
Paul’s pretty damn cool!!!
Psyop.
Julia adding weight to the rumour that John wasn’t shot dead. He wanted to transition and needed a cover to do so? Class discuss 🤔
How could a Man be totally replaced as Lennon still would have existed before, during & after this so-called transition. There have always been rumors that Paul was killed in a vehicular accident & others claim he was murdered but I’m not seeing how a Man can totally be replaced in every shape & form as a result of that
Paul Is long dead
John will live forever
☮️💟☮️💟
Good interview. John looked ca 70% Lennon and 30% Stanley and it's easy to see the resemblence, especially the eyes, eyebrow, nose...
Wings are shit I saw Paul I know he is a poof and cool with rats font make him cool lol
Imagine
When paul drawas his lsst breath
A working class hero is somthi g to be
The beatles
All 3
I'm 40
My mom was born in 43
I'm confused. John Lennon looked like his father and nothing like his mother. Julia Baird is his half-sister. They share the same mother.
And yet, Julia also looks like John's father and nothing like her mother. So WTF is going on here?
Read her book
@@jeanmyers1787 Read it for me.
Silly comment
@@1599maybole Sillier reply.
This is very strange, she has the Lennon nose, yet she is not a Lennon.🤔
True, although maybe they both have the Stanley nose.
Probably where it got broken by twitchy
Always thought people came to see them and did not care to hear the music.. so why bother to sing .just mouth the words and people would not care at that point.
I guess they could brag that they were at a Beatles concert but for everyone to actually see them-well you’d have to have seats pretty close
This is all very nice but you will get about as much information you didn't already know off this as one would if they interviewed your mother or brother about you, or Less because She was not a part of John's life even as a child, they never lived together. How much real insight into me for example, could my mother or brother have, almost Zero. "Oh, he was a Cute Baby, ..so chubby, .." 🤗 ..Nothing.
I take it all back, she's Wonderful.❤
..mystery toure was Paul's failure, John just went along, ..some good songs there though
@@benwright6330
It’s a cult following now & the songs still sell. MMT was not a motion picture-it’s a musical comedy/surreal humor & was meant to be what it is-unconventional without a plot.
She never mentions if John ever gave her any cash, bought her a house, or whatever...
Read her book , it’s extremely informative.
Is that our business?
@@thekitowl Does it mention cash? Evil Yoko?
@@allymayful
Some don’t mind divulging that type of information, others do. Naturally people are curious about anything in regard to the lives of those they liked & admired.
@@revrotunda3206 Yes I agree that its natural to be curious, but a lot of us were taught good manners, where we learnt self control, as a form of respect. An ethic that is fast disappearing with modern media.Not saying that my curiosity is still live and kicking - but l don't expect it to be satisfied.
I love how she makes out she knew John so much when he probably never spoke with her after 1958
A few visits to his house in the 1960's (probably out of guilt) - a ticket to the Hard Days Night premiere with other family members and a couple letters in about 1975 that's about the extent of their relationship after their slaggy mum damaged that poor police officers car. Still it's a good claim to fame isn't it? and there's money to be made out of the more guilable Beatles fans.😊
@@scottandrewbrass1931 darn right
@@scottandrewbrass1931 That’s a disgusting thing to say about their mother! Did you know her? Smh.
@@scottandrewbrass1931Watch out what you say about John and John's half sister Julia,
from now on I have passed on your smutty comments to who is involved in John Lennon's Estate.
@@scottandrewbrass1931 You know it all, eh?
Didn't think he had much to do with these half siblings.
And you know this how?
Have you ever heard of a telephone?
He spent a lot of time at his mother’s home when he found out that she was living not far away. It was a very special time for him before his mother was mown down by that drunken idiot
Well, in all fairness, why would we think John would keep up with a half-sister when he barely kept up with Julian, his own son, and his son's mother?
@@twistoffate4791
Any lack of contact with anyone for any reason I believe has to do with Ono. She controlled what was going on there even with phone calls as it’s said Julian’s calls were not always put through to John. Lennon talked about going back to England many times but never did as at first, he didn’t have a green card. And when he obtained it, there supposedly was still some worries but he went to Japan w/Ono so I’m getting a control factor out of this on Ono’s part
