John Lennon's Last Interview (December 8th, 1980)

Музыка

This interview was supposedly recorded 12 hours before John Lennon's assassination. The photo used in the video was taken on the same day, and the person on the left of the photo is one of the interviewers (Dave Sholin). This interview took place at the Dakota Apartments (Lennon's home at the time) and was done by multiple interviewers, including Dave Sholin, Laurie Kaye, and Bert Keane.

    He was so positive and excited about the future. It’s heartbreaking toward the end of the tape when Yoko says, “Is the car downstairs?” They we’re off to the studio and before they got in the car John signed a copy of Double Fantasy for the creep who would kill him a few hours later. Can’t go back and prevent it from happening but it’s hard not to have those thoughts.

Its getting made into a hotel, but the club where John & Paul painted the ceiling black with stars is still there, as is lots of memorabilia. Fascinating. The owner ( Pete Bests cousin) has some great stories about the lads. His dad was called Aspinall & was the Beatles roadie in the beginning & travelled with them all over the world. Anyway just to let you know that John is still missed here & his memory lives on. God bless. 👍

    I agree! It is so fun to listen to these interviews and so interesting to see how controversial he was, and for Peace. I heard the interview by Shaun Lennon with Elton John a couple of years ago on JL's 80th year, and it was moving. Elton John said he was sure that if he hadn't of been killed, he may have won the Nobel Peace Prize and it was something I never thought of but it sure makes a lot of sense. I don't ever really like to hear anything about his murderer, and I am a True Crime buff, but that one just makes me sick, such a bid for attention, and stealing of Lennon's brightness. I also appreciate ALL the music and The Beatles and what they each evolved to. I also watched Get Back, (got me the expensive Disney subscription just for it!) and was so moved at the part where John asks the others if they heard Martin Luther King Jr's speech and he said something like "it was sheer poetry" and he speaks of how beautiful it was and says something like MLK "could be president".

This is the first tape where Yoko is almost on equal footing and comes through as a full person, not just the woman who broke up the Beatles. My outrage and grief over both the violent death of John and then the violent attack on George that led to his relapse and his death is beyond words. It is a loss for the world that we lost them both when they had so much more life to live. "All you need is love" may sound like a simple lyric but in fact contains the answer to every single crisis on the planet. Love is all you need.

He stood on the sidewalk when chapman approached him and asked him to sign his album . John signed it and asked chapman “ is that all you need “ , and chapman nodded his head yes . John and Yoko hitched a ride to the studio with these two interviewers , 5 hours later , they returned to the Dakota where chapman murdered Lennon . Haunting listening to this .
