I only recently found out that John and Paul met in 1974 in the USA. Can anybody tell me more details about this meeting? Whose initiative it was and how did they react on each other? Was it good fun or a lot of tension in the air? And on what occasion did the Beatles meet each other since 1970? Were they friends then?

They recorded some material which formed 'A Toot 'N A Snore in 74' Bootleg album.....There is somewhere on this forum a few threads on it I believe.

Thnx. Just found it. Paul is hard to recognize, isn't he? I'd say it could be anybody. Bad quality, but I guess it has some historical value. Does anybody know how they reacted or welcomed each other? Other interesting details?

Well, the site is somewhat about april's fool.... So maybe it's just George with a Paul-mask.

I've seen more pictures from that meeting. In one of them John was holding a polaroid that Linda had snapped.

It's obvious it wasn't a recording session. But how (and why?) did they get together? Who's initiative was it? Still questions to me...

Yes, already found a toot and a snore. Thanx for co-thinking. More historical value than musical value, don't you think? And Paul's drumming isn't the best I've heard of him, not to mention John's singing... But I would really like to know the details behind this meeting. I guess they weren't the best of friends in the years before, after Let It Be and John's How Do You Sleep and all that. But in 74 they got back together. Probably the absence of Mrs Lennon played a role in that?

he moved out to Los Angeles, beginning his year-and-a-half long "lost weekend." During 1974 and 1975, Lennon lived a life of debauchery in Los Angeles, partying hard with such celebrities as Elton John, Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon, David Bowie and Ringo Starr. i found this.........and this...An Interview with May Pang about the making of John Lennon's classic album, Rock 'n' Roll. ... Paul did jam with John. One, as I'm sure you know is called "The May Pang Tape" and the other one is called "A Toot and a Snore ...that is in here http://articles.absoluteelsewhere.net/Articles/may_pang_rocknroll.html

They did meet after Sean was born.  I recall John saying he got a bit annoyed with Paul because he would just drop in whenever and John was tired of being a housedad all day.


John: You're just a lonely old man from Liverpool.
Grandfather: But I'm clean!
John: Are ya?

You found that one? My fault for not looking through the thread.

i'm pretty sure there are more from that day, because I saw some in a group of photos somewhere else.

Try and find the last picture of John and Paul together here.



I found it here, but this happens to be a single picture.

How about this for a last picture together! That is much better than the blurry black and white polaroid. It's from May Pang's upcoming photobook:

Now that really does look like Paul. That book might contain some good photo's we haven't seen before, then. So it's only a photobook? She's not spilling any beans then?


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
