The Beatles - February 1994 Reunion Sessions - Free As A Bird (All Available Footage)

The first recording sessions with Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr since the break-up of the Beatles started on February 11th, 1994. The work on “Free As A Bird” was quite fruitful - they completed the work on this track during those February sessions which lasted till the end of the month. But time and effort were also spent on the three other songs.
Very little footage of the "Threetles" recording FAB have surfaced, so I compiled them all in this very short video.
It's easy to tell the 1994 and 1995 reunion sessions apart by their hair and beards, especially George.

What if Now and Then was released in 1995 and produced by Jeff Lynne? kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3TWk6afrLanm9ksi=4iSp73u0dFgFZHa2

[@davidfinley7766]

George: 'Now & Then is so bad you can release it over my dead body' Paul & Ringo; 'OK'

[@MarieBrunette-gk2os]

Hi David, how are you doing today

[@user-cl1bz7br5k]

Esto me confirma que la generación de ellos envejecian más rápido ahí tenían 50-51 años y parecían los 65 actuales.. Los de la gen. Z están que envejecen igual que los boomers

[@user-sf2jm8fd1f]

Free .....as a bird. Fantastic

[@ChilliCheezdog]

I've never seen this before. Jeff must have been so happy. Almost as happy as when he first met Del Shannon.

[@pedropaulovidal5994]

Jeff always talks about the Anthology period with such happiness, I'm sure he was indeed quitte happy in those sessions.

[@kedacchi12]

I think the number one song after John's death was Free as a Bird. In the sense of a Beatles record.

[@beatlebrian4404]

George Harrison, "there can't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead"

[@beastybacon199]

Well then let’s bring him back!

[@johnpoole3871]

Or George Harrison really really needs the money. I am forever grateful he did, and it happened.

[@beatlebrian4404]

@@johnpoole3871 Harrison was a multi millionaire! Of course he didn't need the money! and of course it WAS NOT a Beatles reunion!

*When a Zoomer dies and meets George in the afterlife:* (cries) "George! Is so cool to meet you. It's so sad you weren't around for Now and Then! They actually made it work!!!" *George:* "It's fucking rubbish."

[@ericclaptonsrobotpilot7276]

Apple really needs to give all the footage to Peter Jackson. I guess they are stretching it out so every few years we get some new stuff.

[@pedropaulovidal5994]

Yes, it seems so. The 1995 RL and N&T Sessions have some more minutes of footage publicly, but the 1994 FAAB sessions have only a minute.

[@ericclaptonsrobotpilot7276]

@@pedropaulovidal5994 I predict 2025 we will see some of it. They already have their 2024 content on the way with the Let It Be film.

[@playonkorg]

In the studio of Jeff Lynne?

[@pedropaulovidal5994]

No, this was recorded at Paul's home studio called "Hogg Hill Mill Studios".

[@playonkorg]

@@pedropaulovidal5994 Thank you!I once went to the Wisseloord studio in Hilversum (Netherlands) with my band and saw photos of Jeff there....that made an impression

[@GustavoRodriguezF.-kz6yz]

Porque no lo hicieron en los 70s? Cuando aún vivía John Lennon. En los 90s, ya no tuvo mucho chiste...

[@marcovinicioherreravalverd281]

De hecho poco antes de morir John, estaban planeando la reunión, pero tras su muerte, como dices tu ya no le vieron sentido

[@Martin-iv6lq]

I think the reason John Lennon wasn't included in this session was because he was shot in 1979 or so.

[@taehuntje]

He was shot in 1980

[@danieljamesmead]

Wait, what? He's dead?

[@ryanraetz7922]

🙄

[@sg1770]

And here I thought they were pulling a Jimmy Paige/Robert Plant dis and not invite John.

[@aidanhickey9845]

He was in the toilet during this video.

[@Pharoset]

Dude, get your dates right. This was taped June 23rd, 1994 at George's house in Friar Park.

[@pedropaulovidal5994]

Actually, no. The June 1994 Reunion Sessions were held on George's Friar Park and it featured the Threetles jamming random songs on guitar and ukulele. This video here shows the only known footage of them in Paul's studio (Hog Hill Mill) at February 1994. Free As A Bird was recorded during these sessions. It's a quite common to mistake Feb 1994 with Jun 1994, so I don't blame you. You can verify this information here: reunionsessions.tripod.com/al/faabsessions/1994a.html

This was recorded in 1994, John was k*lled in 1980.

In heaven.

[@love4joj881]

Dumb question.

[@geetarman]

I am a big fan of beatles music but adding bad lennon vocals to pauls ideas is not good is not the beatles! Its basically what it is, bad vocals to bad songs, and since lennon is dead his input is simply not there hence no beatles

[@danieljamesmead]

Well I love it.

[@c.c.kottkamp1150]

Not true that original demo is hauntingly beautiful

[@danielmckee6471]

[@PC4USE1]

Anything that has a legitimate Beatles voice with the other 3 participating is the Beatles by definition.Bad is subjective,anything bad for them far surpasses the thing they call music today.

Shut up!
