Being a 'Newbie', I don't know if this has been posted. Anyroad, it's a cool video done 18 years after the fact with John's animation coupled with the other musicians (Rick Nielsen, Bun E. Carlos, and the incredible Tony Levin) that did the demo of "I'm Losing You".

welcome 834....i have this video at my podcast....it is too bad the yoko ruined the recording session...john and cheap together would have been a great album....seems the demo tapes disappeared too...
found this.....But the session that I most wanted to know about were the legendary John Lennon "Double Fantasy" sessions with Cheap Trick in 1980. Only three songs were recorded before Yoko banned Cheap Trick, citing that they were using John. I told Rick that I recently found a bootleg with the three unreleased Cheap Trick/John Lennon tracks. He asked, "so, could you tell the difference?" I sure could, the tracks seemed to rock more, with even Yoko's song sounding inspiring. Rock comments, "that's the only way you could handle it, have us behind her voice & you need kind of schizophrenic stuff going on." But, why did the band do only one session with Lennon? Nielsen didn't blast Yoko, just explained diplomatically, "we were asked to do more for vocals. What I call those John Lennon baby voices (sings a little). But & ah & by then they were finished. We didn't get lucky enough to play on that one." Still no real answer as to why the recordings didn't wind up on the final record. http://earcandy_mag.tripod.com/blatrick.htm

I've seen that interview, and apparantly, the other songs surfaced on some bootlegs, which I haven't been able to find (and I have a ton of Beatle/related bootlegs). The JL/CT recording is so much more ballsy, and you're right, Yoko could have just let enough alone, but probably had to be in control.
What time does the Bus leave?
