1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,643
Two, take one.
Silent turnover.
2
00:00:03,667 --> 00:00:05,976
- Are you ready, Ringo?
- Come on. We're doing it. We're on.
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:06,917
- One.
- Two.
4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,041
- Three.
- Four!
5
00:00:08,125 --> 00:00:09,875
Which key is it in, really?
6
00:00:10,542 --> 00:00:12,142
- Ringo.
- George is tuned up.
7
00:00:12,166 --> 00:00:13,709
- Oh, hi there.
- John.
8
00:00:13,792 --> 00:00:15,601
I'm ready to sing for the world.
9
00:00:15,625 --> 00:00:16,976
I hope we passed the audition.
10
00:00:18,291 --> 00:00:20,184
What did it sound like
with the bass doing a funny thing?
11
00:00:20,208 --> 00:00:22,166
Keep that one. Mark it "fab."
12
00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:24,458
Music.
13
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,750
Making good music in a band
is all about chemistry.
14
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:34,083
The way our four very different
personalities combined in the Beatles
15
00:00:34,166 --> 00:00:35,709
was something very special.
16
00:00:38,041 --> 00:00:41,458
When we lost John,
we knew that it was really over.
17
00:00:43,166 --> 00:00:49,542
But in 1994, amazingly,
an interesting opportunity arose.
18
00:00:49,625 --> 00:00:51,959
We could make more music together.
19
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:57,041
If we were to do something,
the three of us,
20
00:00:57,125 --> 00:00:59,542
as interesting as it may be,
21
00:00:59,625 --> 00:01:02,125
to have John in it is the obvious thing.
22
00:01:03,166 --> 00:01:07,458
I was talking to Yoko and she said,
"Ah, I think I've got a tape of John."
23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,291
We were pretty excited.
A new John song. Amazing.
24
00:01:13,792 --> 00:01:18,583
To hear John's voice…
That's a thing that we should cherish.
25
00:01:18,667 --> 00:01:23,291
And I'm sure he would've really enjoyed
that opportunity to be with us again.
26
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:27,875
We could use John
and try and make a record.
27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,375
It was the closest we'll ever come
to having him back in the room.
28
00:01:44,917 --> 00:01:48,375
I do remember living at the Dakota
with Dad and Mom.
29
00:01:48,458 --> 00:01:50,083
There's this impression
30
00:01:50,166 --> 00:01:54,625
that my dad stopped doing music
for a while to raise me,
31
00:01:54,709 --> 00:01:58,542
which I think is partially true
in terms of him not touring
32
00:01:58,625 --> 00:02:02,041
and not fulfilling
any major record label obligations.
33
00:02:02,125 --> 00:02:04,458
But he was always
playing music around the house.
34
00:02:04,542 --> 00:02:06,125
He was always making demos.
35
00:02:06,208 --> 00:02:10,166
And I do remember him recording
into these tape cassette recorders.
36
00:02:10,834 --> 00:02:14,917
Mom had these handful of songs
that my dad hadn't finished,
37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,333
and she gave them to the other Beatles.
38
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:26,625
George and Ringo
came down to my studio.
39
00:02:28,709 --> 00:02:30,792
- Nice day.
- Fabulous day.
40
00:02:31,625 --> 00:02:33,750
We listened to the track.
41
00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:40,417
There's John in his apartment
in New York City,
42
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,125
banging away at his piano,
doing a little demo.
43
00:02:43,792 --> 00:02:46,083
"Is it something we shouldn't do?"
44
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:49,333
Every time I thought like that,
I thought, "Wait a minute.
45
00:02:49,417 --> 00:02:52,125
Let's say I had a chance to ask John,
46
00:02:52,208 --> 00:02:56,000
'Hey, John, would you like us to finish
this last song of yours?'"
47
00:02:57,333 --> 00:03:01,709
I'm telling you, I know the answer
would have been, "Yeah."
48
00:03:01,792 --> 00:03:03,667
He would have loved that.
49
00:03:06,875 --> 00:03:10,375

50
00:03:13,041 --> 00:03:16,458
♪ It's all because of you ♪
51
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:20,333
It was very strange
when we started
52
00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:25,917
that there's only three of us
after all those years and all that life.
53
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,041
John, do you wanna put the kettle on?
54
00:03:35,083 --> 00:03:37,375
No.
55
00:03:41,792 --> 00:03:44,875
We did "Free as a Bird"
and "Real Love,"
56
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:49,542
and we got a little bit of time left
to do "Now And Then."
57
00:03:51,417 --> 00:03:53,834
When we started "Now And Then,"
58
00:03:53,917 --> 00:03:58,000
it was very difficult because John
was sort of hidden in a way.
59
00:03:59,291 --> 00:04:03,375
In John's demo tape,
the piano was a little hard to hear.
60
00:04:03,458 --> 00:04:08,542
And in those days, of course, we didn't
have the technology to do the separation.
61
00:04:09,834 --> 00:04:13,625
♪ That I… ♪
62
00:04:14,875 --> 00:04:16,208

00:04:16,291 --> 00:04:19,583
I was telling you a year ago,
Jeff was doing this thing on his computer.
64
00:04:19,667 --> 00:04:23,083
But it opens up
a whole other kettle of fish as to...
65
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:24,291
Can of worms?
66
00:04:24,375 --> 00:04:26,709
But will it open another year of work?
67
00:04:27,375 --> 00:04:32,625
It really brought to the fore,
to the three of us, that John's gone.
68
00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:41,875
Every time we wanted
a little bit more of John's voice,
69
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:45,250
this piano came through
and clouded the picture.
70
00:04:45,333 --> 00:04:49,166
♪ It's all because of you ♪
71
00:04:50,208 --> 00:04:53,875
I think we kind of ran out
of steam a bit, and time.
72
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:57,709
And it was like, "Well, I don't know.
Maybe we'll leave this one."
73
00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:13,750
Ah, I don't know what he was doing.
74
00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:15,875
He had no idea.
75
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,583
- Okay, see you next year.
- See you next week.
76
00:05:21,417 --> 00:05:24,625
"Now And Then"
just kind of languished in a cupboard.
77
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:34,792
And then in 2001, we lost George.
78
00:05:35,834 --> 00:05:38,041
Which kind of took the wind
out of our sails.
79
00:05:42,709 --> 00:05:47,709
It took almost a quarter of a century
for us to wait until the right moment
80
00:05:47,792 --> 00:05:50,041
to tackle "Now And Then" again.
81
00:05:55,625 --> 00:05:59,583
With the technology
that Peter Jackson and his team
82
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:04,458
had worked out during the Get Back movie,
83
00:06:04,542 --> 00:06:09,583
he'd been able to separate off
certain instruments and voices.
84
00:06:09,667 --> 00:06:11,500
During the course of Get Back,
85
00:06:11,583 --> 00:06:15,417
we were paying a lot of attention
to the technical restoration.
86
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:18,250
That ultimately led us
to develop a technology
87
00:06:18,333 --> 00:06:23,667
which allows us to take any soundtrack
and split all the different components
88
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:25,834
into separate tracks
based on machine learning.
89
00:06:26,417 --> 00:06:29,000
Peter Jackson has the MAL machine…
90
00:06:29,083 --> 00:06:30,893
- Morning, Paul!
- …which can just lift anything.
91
00:06:30,917 --> 00:06:32,750
- How are you this morning?
- Okay!
92
00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:37,583
We thought, "Well,
we'd better send John's voice to them
93
00:06:37,667 --> 00:06:39,291
off the original cassette."
94
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:42,792
My dad would've loved that
95
00:06:42,875 --> 00:06:47,208
because he was never shy to experiment
with recording technology.
96
00:06:47,291 --> 00:06:48,542
I think it's really beautiful.
97
00:06:51,291 --> 00:06:53,875
They said,
"This is the sound of John's voice."
98
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,125
A few seconds later
or however long it took,
99
00:06:58,208 --> 00:07:00,500
and there it was, John's voice.
100
00:07:01,083 --> 00:07:02,208
Crystal clear.

- Since, uh, Peter took John off
107
00:07:32,625 --> 00:07:36,208
and gave him his own track,
it's like John's there, you know?
108
00:07:36,291 --> 00:07:37,375
It's far-out.
109
00:07:37,458 --> 00:07:42,667
So in the mix, we could lift
John's voice without lifting the piano,
110
00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:44,875
which had always been one of the problems.
111
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:48,375
Now we could mix it
and make a proper record of it.
112
00:07:48,458 --> 00:07:51,375
I pulled it out, had a listen to it
113
00:07:51,458 --> 00:07:55,667
and thought, "Oh, I could actually do
the bass a bit better.
114
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:57,417
So, why don't I start there?"
115
00:07:58,709 --> 00:08:01,291
♪ And now and then… ♪
116
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:06,542
Paul called me up and said
he'd like to work on, uh, "Now And Then."
117
00:08:06,625 --> 00:08:08,417
"What do you think?" "I think it's great."
118
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,875
So, he put the bass on.
119
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:12,458
He sent the files to me.
120
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:13,917
I put the drums on.
121
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:27,166
It really brought it on, you know?
122
00:08:27,250 --> 00:08:30,875
And so now we had a track
that was really starting to cook.
123
00:08:35,542 --> 00:08:39,625
I'd been vaguely thinking
strings might be a good thing.
124
00:08:39,709 --> 00:08:42,417
The Beatles did lots of string things.
125
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:45,917
You know, "Strawberry Fields,"
"Yesterday," "I am the Walrus."
126
00:08:48,333 --> 00:08:51,417
We wanted to go to Capitol Studios
127
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:54,959
'cause that had been EMI,
and it was sort of "Beatle-y."
128
00:08:55,834 --> 00:08:57,834
Giles worked up an arrangement
129
00:08:57,917 --> 00:09:01,125
like Giles's dad would have done
in the old days.
130
00:09:09,208 --> 00:09:14,667
We had to put the music out
on the stands for the musicians,
131
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:17,291
but we couldn't tell 'em
it was a new Beatles song.
132
00:09:17,375 --> 00:09:19,291
It was all a bit hush-hush.
133
00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:21,750
We pretended
it was just something of mine.
134
00:09:29,417 --> 00:09:32,417
On the new record, there's a guitar solo.
135
00:09:38,917 --> 00:09:42,458
We had kept
George's guitar parts from '95.
136
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:49,709
And I thought, what I'd like to do is
do a slide guitar solo in George's style.
137
00:09:51,542 --> 00:09:53,834
It was really a tribute to George.
138
00:09:55,583 --> 00:09:57,917
And then we started mixing it.
139
00:09:58,792 --> 00:09:59,792
Wow.
140
00:09:59,875 --> 00:10:02,625
This is it. Now it's a Beatle record.
141
00:10:02,709 --> 00:10:04,291

142
00:10:10,250 --> 00:10:14,542

in 2023, wow.

We're actually messing around
with state-of-the-art technology,
155
00:11:14,583 --> 00:11:18,417
which is something the Beatles
would've been very interested in.

"Now And Then," it's probably, like,
the last Beatles song.

so it is a genuine Beatle recording.

I'll tell you what.
159
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:41,625
Why don't you just give me
a little bit of his original demo
160
00:11:41,709 --> 00:11:44,291
to sort of hear
how he's playing the piano?
161
00:11:44,375 --> 00:11:46,615
That part could be played on,
162
00:11:46,667 --> 00:11:47,834
like, another thing.
163
00:11:47,917 --> 00:11:50,250
- Ringo can play it on his drum.
- I can.
164
00:11:50,333 --> 00:11:52,000
Yeah, tuned tom-toms. Yeah.
165
00:11:52,083 --> 00:11:54,208
We'll come in after this.
166
00:11:54,291 --> 00:11:58,875
Yeah. And I'm thinking
verse three could be,
167
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:00,500
like, the intro again, you know?
168
00:12:00,583 --> 00:12:02,250
