Act Like Everything is Normal Yoko

This is some frightening material from the "Let It Be" sessions that I'd never seen.

Sorry I couldn't watch it all...

I had to quit at the monkey sounds part.

Um, very interesting! I'll have to do that with my 4005WB at the next Rare Blend gig.

Yoko's finest talent on display.

Tough to watch, and listen to. Whew. I like it where McCartney appears either to be trying to get feedback off his bass, or is trying to figure out a way to crawl into the speaker cabinet.

I didn't see George (before I gave up) - I wonder if this footage is from the afternoon he quit the band? I've read that they did some Yoko-led noise-jamming after he left.

William Burroughs once said something along the lines of:

'Anyone who says there's no such thing as a bad drug is a fool...'

Lovely, so is this the "additional new footage" that will be included in the new "Let It Be" DVD project?

Good one, Dane. But, perhaps the "Let It Be" footage somehow got mixed up with "The Hound Of The Baskervilles"...

This clip made me envy the deaf.

As Frank Zappa so aptly titled one of his times with her, "A Small Eternity With Yoko Ono."

Very expressive.

I won't lie - I enjoyed some of that. But one can only take so much of the screeching.

Sonic Youth years before Sonic Youth.

Lennon was always complaining about Let It Be. But it looked like he enjoyed this.

I'm keeping in mind that it was 1969, and Yoko or not, a lot of bands were to do the same thing live in the coming years.

I like the part when she stops.

Meanwhile, back at Saville Row, thousands of pounds were leaving by the front door, per second.
