'Free as a bird' was ok. I thought 'Real Love' was excellent. Main problem though was that in the late 70s John Lennon wasnt writing hardly any songs, let alone many great ones.

I'm sure he would have participated in the "Anthology" series, but I picture his interview segments being shot entirely separately...with no group footage of the four of them sitting around a table reminiscing (like we saw with Paul, George and Ringo). Of course I'm just speculating, but that sort of conditional participation would have been very John-like.

As for new recordings or a reunion concert/tour? I doubt it. As long as Yoko was around, he would have opted to record and perform only with her (they had preliminary plans to do a tour after the next record in 1981, as someone here mentioned).

They did not record an album between the Get Back sessions and Abbey Road. In fact, the Abbey Road track "I Want You" was recorded only three weeks after the Get Back sessions concluded.
Yeah, I understand they didn't but at the time we didn't have all the minute by minute recording info - like the Mark Lewison, is that his name? book - we have now so ROLLING STONE put this kind of suspense article together that SOUNDED possible (at the time). My post has more to do with what the next 2 Beatle albums might have been like if you check out the solo singles and albums plus some Beatles bootleg/anthology rehearsals/works in progress (like TEDDY BOY, CHILD OF NATURE/JEALOUS GUY, ALL THINGS MUST PASS, JUNK, etc). This is as close as I can come with the info I have. I'm sure that HOT AS SUN article from ROLLING STONE is somewhere on the internet, someday I'll try to hunt it down......

I agree, they would not have toured, but I am certain they would have all participated on the Anthology.

The air of sentimentality would not have been there had they all been around. Death tends to have that affect.

No he would have been a big participator. They would not have tour, because Lennon would have toured as would have Macca. But they would have played on the Anthology and done more music on it. And probably a one off show somewhere weird, or unique, as they were their entire career. They would have brought a smile and tear to millions.

I agree, they would not have toured, but I am certain they would have all participated on the Anthology. Another sad story from the Double Fantasy sessions.. After John confided with Jack Douglas about wanting to write with Paul again, Paul called the studio, however, Yoko took the call and wouldn't connect Paul with John.
Jack Douglas also recounts an interesting story about something that Lennon confided in with him the night of his death and he has sworn never to repeat it. What was it? Interesting to contemplate.

Why Beatles (and especially Paul Mc Cartney solo-posts) on a Stones forum?

Do we know that John would be with Yoko in the ninetees? We don't of course. Another topic for speculations...That might cause a big change in relationships. We are getting too far in speculations, but why not?
