The way our four very different
personalities combined in the Beatles
16
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,744
was something very special.

we knew that it was really over.

But in 1994, amazingly,
an interesting opportunity arose.

00:00:49,632 --> 00:00:51,968
We could make more music together.

That's a thing that we should cherish.

And I'm sure he would've really enjoyed
that opportunity to be with us again.
28

[Ringo] We could use John
and try and make a record.

[Sean] I do remember living at the Dakota
with Dad and Mom.

00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,110
There's this impression
34
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:54,656
that my dad stopped doing music
for a while to raise me,
35
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:58,576
which I think is partially true
in terms of him not touring
36
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:02,080
and not fulfilling
any major record label obligations.
37
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:04,499
But he was always
playing music around the house.
38

He was always making demos.
39
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:10,171
And I do remember him recording
into these tape cassette recorders.
40
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:14,926
Mom had these handful of songs
that my dad hadn't finished,
41
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:17,345
and she gave them to the other Beatles.

we were paying a lot of attention

That ultimately led us

that my dad had been gone.
168
00:10:17,367 --> 00:10:20,078
[John] ♪ I know it's true ♪
169
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:22,706
[Sean] It's the last song that
170
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:26,960
my dad and Paul and George and Ringo
will get to make together.
171
00:10:28,253 --> 00:10:32,882
[John] ♪ And if I make it through ♪
172
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:36,177
♪ It's all because ♪
173
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:42,225
♪ Of you ♪
174
00:10:43,226 --> 00:10:45,854
[Paul] All of those memories
come flooding back.
175
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:51,484
My God. How lucky was I
to have those men in my life
176
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:58,700
and to work with those men so intimately
and to come up with such a body of music?
177
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:07,876
To still be working on Beatles music
in 2023, wow.
178
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:13,965
We're actually messing around
with state-of-the-art technology,
179
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:18,428
which is something the Beatles
would've been very interested in.
180
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:23,099
"Now And Then," it's probably, like,
the last Beatles song.
181
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:27,479
And we've all played on it,
so it is a genuine Beatle recording.
182
00:11:27,562 --> 00:11:29,397
[chattering]
183
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:35,820
[crowd cheering, fades]
184
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:38,406
[Paul] I'll tell you what.
185
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:41,659
Why don't you just give me
a little bit of his original demo
186
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:44,329
to sort of hear
how he's playing the piano?
187
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:46,623
-[guitar playing]
-[George] That part could be played on,
188
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:47,874
like, another thing.
189
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,251
-[Paul] Ringo can play it on his drum.
-[Ringo] I can.
190
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:52,003
[Paul] Yeah, tuned tom-toms. Yeah.
191
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:54,214
-[imitating drum]
-[George] We'll come in after this.
192
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:58,885
[Paul] Yeah. And I'm thinking
verse three could be,
193
00:11:58,968 --> 00:12:00,512
like, the intro again, you know?
194
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:02,263
[Ringo] Start again. [chuckles]
195
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:05,183
[George yawns]
When are we ever gonna get to sleep?
196
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:08,311
-[Paul] Now, there's a good question.
-[George] No rest for the wicked.
197
00:12:08,812 --> 00:12:11,481
-[Paul] DIN, son. Do it now.
-[Ringo] Do it now.
198
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:13,692
[George] Go on then. Back it up a bit.
199
00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:15,568
[drums playing]
200
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:17,195
[Beatle whistling]
201
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:19,280
[Paul] Can I just hear John a sec?
