- The complete John Lennon and Yoko Ono Interview with Andy Peebles. He was in full swing in late 1980 giving long, time consuming interviews promoting Double Fantasy and getting the message out that he was back, rested and raring to go.

In 1981, I lived in Wash DC and taped this interview, off the radio with my cassette boom box.
It was important to me, so I bought a pack of good tapes. I still got em and they sound the same.

I did the same exact thing and still have the tapes today. It was played one year later on the anniversary of his death.
I did the same! Still have them, too! I listened to them, over and over. I think I have most of this interview memorized.
@@natashka8880 that is so cool Great minds think alike
that would make a great TH-cam channel
I lived in El Paso Tx in 1981, did the same thing too, still have the tapes too!!!
How happy and fresh he was. Let's remember him that way.
For the benefit of anyone who isn't American, this was recorded on December 6, 1980, not June 12, 1980.
Thank you!
So sad that this was his very last interview 2 days before his death. He was so happy and hopeful for his future.
It wasn't. He did another with RKO radio on December 8th.
It wasn’t the last interview
Lennon was many geniuses in one person. He was as funny as the funniest comedians, he was as strong of a thinker as the best philosophers, he was as good of a speaker as the best politicians, he was as good of a songwriter as the best songwriters. Truly a unique person in history.
It´s also nice to hear these 1980s interviews, he was no longer resentful and bitter. Lennon gets alot of flack for his attitude in the early 70s, but he obviously grew out of it and became much more wholesome and wise over the years. But sadly people want to focus on the 1-2 years post Beatles where the tensions were high. It´s a bit unfair.
The comment about philosophy is absurdly hyperbolic. He'd have laughed at it.
Special insight and an eye opening reminder that none of us are guranteed another moment
Poignant and real. Thank you.
One piece of garbage took this genius away from us two days later.. I feel sad but love his voice
First thing I thought about when I saw the date of the interview. It’s absolutely heartbreaking.
@@patricktuorto Even more heartbreaking, he had one more interview on the afternoon of the 8th, where he mentions his work being done when he’s dead and buried, and hopes it’s not for a long, long time, but sadly he’d be dead within 5 or 6 hours after saying that
I feel like he wanted to make a name for himself
Definitely a very intelligent, eloquent, well read, articulated man. I always suspected that he really did not exploit his full potential. He could write novels, make movies, whatever.
The interviewer is one of the best. He knew his subject so well he could pivot into unanticipated subjects knowledgeably.
John was in such a good spirit, full of enthusiasm about the new album, "Double Fantasy" and talking about his history. It's so sad that he would be dead in two days. 💔 🕯
Wow
I agree. It just tears me up that the musical genius, that fabulous voice and the man who was now finally happy would be silenced forever in just over 48 hours after this interview. It's just impossible to fathom.
One of the most gifted and talented men in music history. I can’t shake the feeling that he was assassinated by some government.
@@vesosobot4094 Possibly the FBI or CIA, but I have my doubts. I just feel that whoever was behind it would have silenced his killer too. That jackass still claims he acted alone, and since he wants out, I feel he’d be squealing his ass off.
Mark chapman shot at John's back....Lennon died from 4 bullet wounds to the chest.... Dont think mark was alone
I loved John Lennon. When this terrible terrible thing that happened to him. I was serving my country in the USN . I will never forget when I had a apt in Norfolk Virginia, and next morning on my clock radio. My ship USS NIMITZ CVN-68 WAS in the shipyards at Portsmouth, VA. He will always be forever young.
How can you not love the man❤❤❤
I listened to this nearly every year.
So truly missed. Rest In Peace John
So do I my friend.
This marvels me and breaks my heart at unimaginable levels.
I remember when this was broadcast. Nice to hear just the talking and no distracting music.
Thanks for the upload. Great interview.
Saturday morning. Filled with life. Happy. Joking. With new projects completed and on the horizon. He had 2 1/2 days left but could never know.
Very eerie hearing him say "There's always someone being shot" on December 6, 1980
I feel like a fly on a wall listening to this up, close & personal raw interview with nothing edited out, it's great!
wow I've been listening to different edits of this interview for years and years, and this is the first time I've heard the complete unedited tape! thank you so much for uploading!
This is a great upload, thank you so much for sharing it! I feel a little sad towards the end where John starts talking about future plans. I guess it is what it is.
Yeah, his message to 'Kevin' who wrote into B15 is heartbreaking to hear now.
Always a sharp cookie. Thank you thank you! Some if this appeared on Elliot's Lost Lennon tapes.
This is great thank you!!💚
Was just thinking also it's refreshing to hear a real interviewer here- I'd been so use to TH-cam interviewers say "awesome" and "wow" as a response to a question they asked.
and "um like" endlessly.. even on TV News!
Thanks for uploading this without the music. Someone else uploaded the same (without music) a few years ago but its no longer on TH-cam so good to see someone else has done it. This version is incredibly clear & nice job on the editing. Can't sense the joins :).
So short a time from this interview and just 48 hours later, give or take, and Beatle John was gone. Forever Missed +++
John is the most amazing person. I love his story about making bread.
He was an abusive piece of garbage. At one point he screamed so loud in his son Sean's ear that he had to be taken to the hospital.
2:55:47 That poor boy must have been shattered.
One thing that's notable about this interview which is something I'd already been aware of is how fast "the 60s" aged.
This interview is from 1980, just 11 years after the 60s (less when you take into account that the essential 60s culture lingered on for a few years into the early 70s), but Lennon is already talking about people accusing him of being "stuck in the 60s", as though it was a really really really long time ago.
We certainly don't think of 2011 as being a totally different time than 2022 the way "the 60s" were already seen as a long bygone era in 1980.
It's always struck me as odd.
I get it though.
The mid 60s to early 70s just looked and sounded radically different to everything before and after in a way no other decade does.
RIGHT!! There u go! U most adequately explained it all!! RIGHT ON, BRO!! ✌️ Peace and Luv!! ✌️
Crazy to think how different the 50s were to the 60s, and to think the 19th century was almost a primitive world yet only half a century before. It makes me feel like our civilisation is much more fragile and infantile than we think.
@@Heopfulit’ll reset again.
Time is relative. In my experience, days go by as slow as ever. But a couple of days later you look up and years have gone by.
what a great rave...hearing so much from John and Yoko💗👩❤👨
Funny that John's first impression was that Yoko was a con ! Right first time.
He also made a Freudian slip I guess you'd say. He refers to her at Indica Gallery as this "weird looking," etc.
Wow. Doubt Yoko appreciated that.
Paul tells a different story. He says that Yoko somehow found out where he lived and knocked on his door. He turned her away and suggested she may want to contact John. This is a woman who has stated that she didn’t know who the Beatles were.
Yep, oldest trick in the book! Sad that he fell for it but love is blind (and deaf in this case).
Yep. And she kept on phoning his house and bombarded him with letters when he was in India.
Yoko did what Meghan Markle did. No idea who John Lennon and Prince Harry is 😂😂
And camped out on his lawn like a stalker
share your source for this info?
Nice one Mark Chapman... C U Next Tuesday
Amazing how little Lennon remembers...and how much!!
I get shivers listening to John and Yoko, a mere 2 days before his murder… WE GOT ROBBED OF A GREAT HUMAN BEING, FLAWS AND ALL
He seemed more level headed and better than his early 70s interviews. He was still witty and brutally honest, but he seemed more calm and enthusiastic. It’s a shame what happened to him.
John Winston Ono Lennon Is Eternal , as we all are , yah yah
& the "fantastic" jam that she spoke of during the Let it be sessions, is now out there for all to witness. 🥵
I screamed when he said he loved fawlty towers. I grew up with that show.
1:17:26 omg - talks about his Christmas song and says "someones always getting shot" around Christmas and that's what the song's about, wow!
I recorded this at the time and listened to the all the time in the 80's love john
He sounds more British here than in any other interview in 1980…possibly because he was being interviewed by a British DJ?
Great interview! BBC put this interview out on 2 cassette tapes. I listened to these tapes over and over. One of the things I found very interesting was the difference between "Mother"'s intro and "Starting Over"'s intro. The penny dropped when I heard his explanation. BTW, during the break, did they add the conversation which took place when they were asked to play at Live in Toronto??
I got this on tape somewhere i remember recording it on my technics stereo system
Literally the same here!
At 2:39:42 Lennon praises British band Madness and does a take on the intro to their “One Step Beyond”!
And then at 2:41:07 Lennon mentions a tape someone sent him “two years” earlier with bands including Madness on it.
Yoko turned up at Paul's house in 1967 and asked him for a manuscript for John Cage's birthday. Paul said he couldn't help but his friend John could. Yoko claims that she had never heard of John or The Beatles when she met him. No, of course not.
What. Where did you get that information?
@@johnstivaly1170 it’s well known.
@@thefonzkiss Yet they just talked about meeting each other in Nov 1966 on this tape.
Yes,it's known she tried it on Paul first,he didn't bite,so onto John.
So basically Paul threw John under the bus. Very interesting considering what Paul was up to.
This makes me sad. Last words. He had no idea what was coming. And he had lax Security.
Still one of the worst days ever along with 9/11.
10:50 - when I hear stories about this, I often wonder what the person concerned thinks about it nowadays!
I mean, where is this Austrian woman today & does she even know she was a part of this and what it was all about in the end?
There’s No way yoko didn’t know who Lennon was, not buying that.
Heather Mills tried the same trick when she met Paul . She’d ’never heard of the Beatles’. Yeah right
Lennon❤❤❤❤✌✌✌✌
John✌️🙏❤️
The gall of the yoko haters in the comments section who don’t think John would abhor them more in 2024 than he would have in 1980
Oh John.. that voice, that mind and heart ❤
What heart? He was horrible to his first son.
Since the programe was first broadcast by the BBC in December 1980, they have refused to repeat it without any explanation why.
BBC did do repeat broadcasts
First repeat was in December 1981
Such a massive great goldmine!
AND he’s CLEARLY not recentful to George! Wow never heard that bit before of him wanting George in his band for the 1981 canadian gig! (1:20 ish)
I don't mean to play into the Yoko hate bandwagon but it's really frustrating that she keeps answering for John (and a lot of what she says is quickly contradicted by John himself).
I got this interview
He looks happy and talkative and yoko.
When Yoko talks, my mind shuts down.
does anyone have a timecode where he talks about Julian?
I love this and hate it at the same time. Love John…so much.
Keep playing those mind games forever john
The Wishing Bell, how sweet....now in 2023 Yoko has made a cyber Wishing Tree..its beautiful..find it..
2:49:20 John could never of thought of what was going to happen in the next 48 hours 😪😪
John says Elvis died in the army, and he adds that that was when they castrated him. The rest of it, he says, was a living death. If that was the case, didn't Yoko do to John what the army had done to Elvis?
He cleaned up, raised his kid, took five years off from the music business. Yoko may have been controlling but Lennon needed someone to straighten him up or he might have died years earlier.
@@jonncockrell3606 He was still castrated by Yoko. Lennon 1963 to 1967 is very different from Lennon 1968 to Lennon 1980.
great comments guys i tapped it off the radio in england. mc was paid by some1
I can due without yoko being there- just john- what did he see in her- he made her. Long live john.
FBI job. MK Ultra patsy
@@nobby21165 Have you read the FBI Lennon files book? They literally had nothing on him - it's mental.
really you know, really you know, really you know
1:17:30 John says "There's always someone being shot" , incredible while MDC was actually waiting at the Dakota (during this interview) just wild
What's even more wild is that people still believe the official narrative. Spend five minutes by googling 'John Lennon Jose Perdomo' to discover who was waiting at the
Dakota along with MDC and who did the actual shooting.
12:19 lol John sounds like Serge from Philly (Craig Ferguson reference)
“I’ll give you an imaginary 5 shillings and you give me an imaginary nail” The best!
Was there not a single other picture of them for this interview? Yoko looks like an old granny there.
It's weird now knowing that they wanted a divorce but yoko didn't want to give up John's money.
He should have left yoko for May.
Chapman .... why you did that ??
😓😓😓😓😓
Yoko the ultimate self publicist
Yeah. It's so weird that she had this strange gig from say '68 until Lennon's death of being interrupter in chief. One could say oh that's male chauvanism, but really not. She was a much lesser artist, obviously.
Yes, unknown to anyone but the strange art world (define ‘art’!) and made a beeline for John $$$$$$$$$$$
There is a number of times in this she interrupts with what she things is a whitty intellectual comment, which with gets no reaction (but you can feel John giving her daggers) or the interviewer asks her to expand on it and she freezes, and John steps on to bring the interview back on to him
Sorry mate, but why you put "SPANISH" in the tittle??
I'm spanish and i thought it will be Spanish sub. haha!
Два дня 8 декабря у меня был день рождения 18 лет
Always that woman.....

Does no one notice the air of menace
The part where they are talking about a shooting him
Is Derek Taylor there? And who was chatting around 1hr. 20 mins
Old Beatles road manager, that little section was from a way earlier interview/audio clip were they were talking about going to Canada (Toronto) to the Rock' N Roll Revival Festival in 1969 and they talked about getting a group together for the performance (thats why they talked about Derek Taylor). I guess thats why there is such a low audio quality to that tape.
@@jessejonker4888 Yeah not sure why that was slapped in the middle like that. It's from 11 years earlier.
Was it meant to be a christmas special? Very sad.
No coinciding with the original interview date.
Isn't Yoko you on her way out now?
Who's the guy behind him ?
I'm glad he was able to have such a close relationship but I think he should've used her inspiration as a muse rather than putting her on the mic/stage. The biggest fans go along politely out of respect and the other biggest fans scream about her; I get it but as far as musical talent.. GZ Pete man
P-SSY WIPED IS A MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT....
Good hygiene isn't to be mocked.
18:43
37:18 - Police story
If only yoko's interventions were to be culled out, it would be make it a hell lot more enjoyable to listen to.
Yoko starts talking, "L", "L", "L"....
Yoko es insoportable
When they talk about Yoko's movie "Rape"- I don't know anything about it except what they're saying and I can only think that is criminal! Not to mention mean-spirited- Yoko is very lucky she wasn't sued for everything she has, which is a lot thanks to John.
ビデオ.映像はっ..??
Is that David Bowie? 1:21:21
Sounds like him!

She talked to David geffen a day before John death and a Kurt cobain talked to him a day before his death hmm
Why is Yoko chiming about?
John sounded so like an Irishman.
He sounded like the Liverpudlian he is. Accent diluted a little as been away from the country he loved for so long, but Liverpudlian.
They say John was horrible to Julian but two days before his death and while making this interview John mentions Julian a few times in between the interview and twice at the end of the and John says he has to call Julian to let him know about this interview so he can listen to it and he also made reference to Julian telling his father John that he or his friends are buying the Dounle Fantasy record for Yoko’s Kiss kiss kiss song. John laughs and says as long as he or they buy it is all that matters ( not verbatim) but close enough. I hope Julian knows about this or has heard this. I’m sure it would make him very happy to know that his pops was thinking of him calling Julian his son two days before his death by the United States Government.
