This would really be a gem.... except I don't think its real.

The singing is remarkably John, the talking not! Well, not in my opinion.
The playing seems very flamboyant for John. Anyone care to analyse his strumming, the hand movements should be recognisable. The beard seems way too thick.

I will remain sceptical until someone can prove this.

Chris,
I think it will be very difficult to prove that is Lennon, however this clip may change your mind. Notice how thick his beard is and the way he uses a very wristy strum. Also that nose is very distinctive. I actually think it's him.



He did have a house in Cold Spring Harbor. Here's a home movie of him there sporting the same beard and glasses:

Thanks for researching that Bill, your videos do make it more convincing, wrist is similar, Real John seems slightly less loose and the 1969 Beard is bushy.... just didn't think he wore that beard in 1980. Still, I have to say it does seem more real to me now.... as long as its not this guy...

Chris,
The second video of John and the family at Cold Spring Harbor shows him sporting that beard. The video was taken in 1980, the same year the video that started this thread was made and the same year he was shot by Mark David Chapman (December 8, 1980)
