I just got done watching this two hour documentary last week. I'm sure we've all seen plenty on the Beatles and John Lennon over the years. The same still pictures and movies clips. Well this documentary just blew me completely away. With the passing of his 70th birthday PBS aired this in conjuction with the new re-release of Double Fantasy. If you have a DVR do a search for this. You won't regret it. I'll leave it at that. Enjoy the clip.

Mark, I watched this the other night, great show. Also the Double Fantasy-stripped was what inspired me to try Women, the new release is great!

Mark, Cosmicmechanic,THANK YOU1.
Cant get enough of Lennon. Been around from the beginning, got to see them on the Ed Sulivan show. I still remenber the show and exactly where I was sitting in our den when they came on, Use to catch them on my transister radio at night after being ordered to bed. Lenon was always my favorite Beatle. Those were the days my friend.
I will try to catch PBS special. I think the link works for me.
As always... much obliged gents.
