The band is good and Tim Piper who takes on John's role for the evening is very effective. The backdrop screen was a little cheesy, but his take is worth seeing. Met him after the show and he is very sincere and determined to present John in the most honest way.  |

The lyrics and the sentiment within this song carry fond memories of you John.

Some of John's lyrics had been thought to be quite senseless.
But this is quite the opposite

Please don't revive two year old comments unless you are very careful. I have since apologized for my intemperate characterization of Fred's comment and have nothing but respect for the man's opinions - still don't agree with him - but I have tried hard to stop with the ad hominem. |

It's interesting reading some of the criticism of this song. I too was not a huge fan of this song for many years, when compared to Johns earlier solo work. But as I fast approach John's age at the time he was murdered, his wonderful lyrics give me a fresh perspective on where he (and I by extension) was at in his head. It's hard not to feel that special connection that he engendered in his fans through his music. Music is organic people, our relationship to it is always evolving.

I think THIS was John's best work post-Beatles...

Even if that were true, why shouldn't ancillary context—in this case John's passing—add to the appeal of a song?
Maybe that is why this song always makes my eyes mist up. Kindly refer to ICHawk's comment below.
Soooo good for the tears |

I will hold their music in high regard always. Egotistically assuming that you're, at least in part, referring to my negative comments below I will say that I treasure the Beatles, and very highly rate some of Lennon's post-Beatles work (Workingman's Hero, Gimme Some Truth). It's this song I don't like. |

There was a lot of John's post-Beatles stuff that I didn't appreciate, but this is a good one. And I do think I appreciate it more now than I did then. Think is has something to do with being older...
