And it has been recorded!!!! It is not that special, but just the thought that they ever played together after the Beatles break up is soooo cool

Really, if u can get it, try it



This recording is the last performance by Paul & John in a studio. It happened on Sunday March 31, 1974. Although the performance is very poor, this recording is an historical moment to share.
On that day of March, John held a night music jam session at his beach house in L.A. Those in attendance included Paul McCartney (vocals, drums), Jesse Ed Davis (guitar), Harry Nilsson (vocals), Stevie Wonder (electric piano) & Bobby Keys (sax). John played vocals and drums. Mal Evans and May Pang also attended the session.

A few days sooner, on Thursday March 28, Paul & Linda had dropped at Burbank Studios, California, where John Lennon started to produce the Harry Nilsson album "Pussy Cats". Paul & Linda intended to watch the recording, and Paul finally joined in a jam session with John and other musicians on the track "Midnight Special", joining John for the first time in a musical environment since the split of The Beatles.

Thanks...you guys are fast!!

Is this a different time than when Paul came and jammed with John? Remember, VH1 made that stupid movie about it a few years back? I think it happened during John's famous "lost weekend".

Correct!





Jshua

While I LOVE McCartney, and I adore Harry Nilsson...This "album" is crap! Lennon and Nilsson are SO wasted they are unintelligable, and Stevie Wonder adds very little to the session. Instead, buy "Nilsson Schmilsson" and "Venus and Mars".

If you want Lennon & Nilsson together to get a glimpse of their lost weekend get Nilsson's Pussy Cats.
Is that available on CD?
I wore my vinyl copy out years ago.
