John and Paul's last session 34 years ago this week [Posted by Dean Wien on Thursday, 03/27/08 11:19 am] [Digg This] This week is the 34th anniversary of the last time that Lennon & McCartney jammed together. This session, recorded sometime between March 24 and March 31, 1974, can be heard on the rare recording entitled "A Toot and a Snore in '74." The session also included Stevie Wonder, Jesse Ed Davis, Bobby Keys and Harry Nilsson. Pictures from this historic event are included in May Pang's new book "Instamatic Karma". (You can see May pictured on the cover of the Bootleg of the session, shown below.) It's also the 34th anniversary of The Harry Nilsson - John Lennon Pussycat sessions. Two highlights of the last session of Lennon - McCartney are John & Paul doing "Stand By Me", and "The Cupid/Chain Gang Medley". Not the greatest versions, but certainly a piece of Beatles history. Wouldn't it be amazing if Paul and Ringo took bits and pieces from this session, and did something like Free As a Bird or Real Love? Listening to this session, I think it could probably be done with "Lucille" or "Stand By Me"...
