1
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,646
Two, take
one. Silent turnover.
2
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:05,982
- Are you ready, Ringo?
- Come on. We're doing it. We're on.
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:06,923
- One.
- Two.
4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,049
- Three.
- Four!
5
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:09,884
Which key
is it in, really?
6
00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:12,154
- Ringo.
- George is tuned up.
7
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:13,722
- Oh, hi there.
- John.
8
00:00:13,805 --> 00:00:15,616
I'm ready to sing for the world.
9
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,993
I hope we
passed the audition.
10
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:20,204
What did it sound like
with the bass doing a funny thing?
11
00:00:20,228 --> 00:00:22,188
Keep that one. Mark it "fab."
12
00:00:22,272 --> 00:00:24,482
Music.
13
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:28,778
Making good music in a
band is all about chemistry.
14
00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:34,117
The way our four very different
personalities combined in the Beatles
15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,744
was something very special.
16
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,499
When we lost John, we
knew that it was really over.
17
00:00:43,168 --> 00:00:49,549
But in 1994, amazingly, an
interesting opportunity arose.
18
00:00:49,632 --> 00:00:51,968
We could make more
music together.
19
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:57,057
If we were to do
something, the three of us,
20
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:59,559
as interesting as it may be,
21
00:00:59,642 --> 00:01:02,145
to have John in it
is the obvious thing.
22
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:07,484
I was talking to Yoko and she said,
"Ah, I think I've got a tape of John."
23
00:01:08,985 --> 00:01:13,323
We were pretty excited.
A new John song. Amazing.
24
00:01:13,823 --> 00:01:18,620
To hear John's voice… That's
a thing that we should cherish.
25
00:01:18,703 --> 00:01:23,333
And I'm sure he would've really enjoyed
that opportunity to be with us again.
26
00:01:23,416 --> 00:01:27,879
We could use John
and try and make a record.
27
00:01:27,962 --> 00:01:31,383
It was the closest we'll ever come
to having him back in the room.
28
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:48,400
I do remember living at
the Dakota with Dad and Mom.
29
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,110
There's this impression
30
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:54,656
that my dad stopped doing
music for a while to raise me,
31
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:58,576
which I think is partially true
in terms of him not touring
32
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:02,080
and not fulfilling any major
record label obligations.
33
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:04,499
But he was always playing
music around the house.
34
00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:06,126
He was always making demos.
35
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:10,171
And I do remember him recording
into these tape cassette recorders.
36
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:14,926
Mom had these handful of songs
that my dad hadn't finished,
37
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:17,345
and she gave them to
the other Beatles.
38
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:26,646
George and Ringo
came down to my studio.
39
00:02:28,732 --> 00:02:30,817
- Nice day.
- Fabulous day.
40
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,778
We listened to the track.
41
00:02:36,114 --> 00:02:40,452
There's John in his
apartment in New York City,
42
00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:43,163
banging away at his piano,
doing a little demo.
43
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:46,124
"Is it something
we shouldn't do?"
44
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:49,336
Every time I thought like that,
I thought, "Wait a minute.
45
00:02:49,419 --> 00:02:52,130
Let's say I had a
chance to ask John,
46
00:02:52,213 --> 00:02:56,009
'Hey, John, would you like us to
finish this last song of yours?'"
47
00:02:57,344 --> 00:03:01,723
I'm telling you, I know the
answer would have been, "Yeah."
48
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:03,683
He would have loved that.
49
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:10,398
♪ I know it's true ♪
50
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:16,488
♪ It's all because of you ♪
51
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,367
It was very
strange when we started
52
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:25,955
that there's only three of us after
all those years and all that life.
53
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,083
John, do you wanna
put the kettle on?
54
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,384
No.
55
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:44,891
We did "Free as
a Bird" and "Real Love,"
56
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:49,562
and we got a little bit of
time left to do "Now And Then."
57
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,858
When we
started "Now And Then,"
58
00:03:53,942 --> 00:03:58,029
it was very difficult because
John was sort of hidden in a way.
59
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:03,410
In John's demo tape, the
piano was a little hard to hear.
60
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:08,581
And in those days, of course, we didn't
have the technology to do the separation.
61
00:04:09,874 --> 00:04:13,628
♪ That I… ♪
62
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,214
You know, that's computer stuff.
63
00:04:16,297 --> 00:04:19,592
I was telling you a year ago, Jeff
was doing this thing on his computer.
64
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:23,096
But it opens up a whole
other kettle of fish as to...
65
00:04:23,179 --> 00:04:24,305
Can of worms?
66
00:04:24,389 --> 00:04:26,725
But will it open
another year of work?
67
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:32,647
It really brought to the fore, to
the three of us, that John's gone.
68
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:41,906
Every time we wanted a
little bit more of John's voice,
69
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:45,285
this piano came through
and clouded the picture.
70
00:04:45,368 --> 00:04:49,205
♪ It's all
because of you ♪
71
00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:53,877
I think we kind of ran
out of steam a bit, and time.
72
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,714
And it was like, "Well, I don't
know. Maybe we'll leave this one."
73
00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:13,772
Ah, I don't
know what he was doing.
74
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:15,899
He had no idea.
75
00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:19,611
- Okay, see you next year.
- See you next week.
76
00:05:21,446 --> 00:05:24,657
"Now And Then" just kind
of languished in a cupboard.
77
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:34,793
And then in 2001,
we lost George.
78
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:38,046
Which kind of took the
wind out of our sails.
79
00:05:42,717 --> 00:05:47,722
It took almost a quarter of a century
for us to wait until the right moment
80
00:05:47,806 --> 00:05:50,058
to tackle "Now And Then" again.
81
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:59,609
With the technology that
Peter Jackson and his team
82
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:04,489
had worked out during
the Get Back movie,
83
00:06:04,572 --> 00:06:09,619
he'd been able to separate off
certain instruments and voices.
84
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,538
During the
course of Get Back,
85
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:15,458
we were paying a lot of attention
to the technical restoration.
86
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:18,253
That ultimately led us
to develop a technology
87
00:06:18,336 --> 00:06:23,675
which allows us to take any soundtrack
and split all the different components
88
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:25,844
into separate tracks
based on machine learning.
89
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:29,014
Peter Jackson
has the MAL machine…
90
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:30,908
- Morning, Paul!
- …which can just lift anything.
91
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:32,767
- How are you this morning?
- Okay!
92
00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:37,605
We thought, "Well, we'd
better send John's voice to them
93
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:39,315
off the original cassette."
94
00:06:41,276 --> 00:06:42,819
My dad
would've loved that
95
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:47,240
because he was never shy to
experiment with recording technology.
96
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:48,575
I think it's really beautiful.
97
00:06:51,327 --> 00:06:53,913
They said, "This is
the sound of John's voice."
98
00:06:56,291 --> 00:06:58,126
A few seconds later or
however long it took,
99
00:06:58,209 --> 00:07:00,503
and there it was, John's voice.
100
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:02,213
Crystal clear.
101
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:06,843

- Do it again.
- Since, uh, Peter took John off
107
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:36,247
and gave him his own track, it's
like John's there, you know?
108
00:07:36,331 --> 00:07:37,415
It's far-out.
109
00:07:37,499 --> 00:07:42,671
So in the mix, we could lift
John's voice without lifting the piano,
110
00:07:42,754 --> 00:07:44,881
which had always been
one of the problems.
111
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,385
Now we could mix it and
make a proper record of it.
112
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,388
I pulled it out, had a listen to it
113
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:55,684
and thought, "Oh, I could
actually do the bass a bit better.
114
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:57,435
So, why don't I start there?"
115
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:01,314
♪ And now and then… ♪
116
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:06,569
Paul called me up and said he'd
like to work on, uh, "Now And Then."
117
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,446
"What do you think?"
"I think it's great."
118
00:08:08,530 --> 00:08:10,907
So, he put the bass on.
119
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:12,492
He sent the files to me.
120
00:08:12,575 --> 00:08:13,952
I put the drums on.
121
00:08:24,963 --> 00:08:27,173
It really
brought it on, you know?
122
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:30,885
And so now we had a track that
was really starting to cook.
123
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:39,644
I'd been vaguely thinking
strings might be a good thing.
124
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:42,439
The Beatles did lots
of string things.
125
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,942
You know, "Strawberry Fields,"
"Yesterday," "I am the Walrus."
126
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:51,448
We wanted to go
to Capitol Studios
127
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:54,993
'cause that had been EMI, and
it was sort of "Beatle-y."
128
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:57,871
Giles worked up an arrangement
129
00:08:57,954 --> 00:09:01,166
like Giles's dad would
have done in the old days.
130
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:14,679
We had to put the music out
on the stands for the musicians,
131
00:09:14,763 --> 00:09:17,307
but we couldn't tell 'em
it was a new Beatles song.
132
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:19,309
It was all a bit hush-hush.
133
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:21,770
We pretended it was
just something of mine.
134
00:09:29,444 --> 00:09:32,447
On the new record,
there's a guitar solo.
135
00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:42,499
We had kept George's
guitar parts from '95.
136
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:49,714
And I thought, what I'd like to do is do
a slide guitar solo in George's style.
137
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:53,843
It was really a
tribute to George.
138
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:57,931
And then we started mixing it.
139
00:09:58,807 --> 00:09:59,808
Wow.
140
00:09:59,891 --> 00:10:02,644
This is it. Now it's
a Beatle record.
141
00:10:02,727 --> 00:10:04,312
One, two.
142
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:14,572
It was incredibly touching
to hear them working together
143
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:16,866

My God. How lucky was I to
have those men in my life
152
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?
153
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:07,876
To still be working on
Beatles music in 2023, wow.
154
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:13,965
We're actually messing around
with state-of-the-art technology,
155
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:18,428
which is something the Beatles
would've been very interested in.
156
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:23,099
"Now And Then," it's probably,
like, the last Beatles song.
157
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:27,479
And we've all played on it, so
it is a genuine Beatle recording.
158
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:38,406
I'll tell you what.
159
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:41,659
Why don't you just give me a
little bit of his original demo
160
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:44,329
to sort of hear how
he's playing the piano?
161
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:46,682
That part could be played on,
162
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:47,874
like, another thing.
163
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,251
- Ringo can play it on his drum.
- I can.
164
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:52,003
Yeah, tuned
tom-toms. Yeah.
165
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:54,247
We'll come in after this.
166
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:58,885
Yeah. And I'm thinking
verse three could be,
167
00:11:58,968 --> 00:12:00,512
