Dick Cavett was primarily an entertainer; he admitted he got into show business to become famous. He was a writer who got his own gig, complete with monologue. The "conversations" were as much an opportunity to ad lib as learn something about the guests. He did have quite a few great guests, which is why it worked so well.

John Lennon was so fucking brilliant. Not only in his music but in his character most of all. He gave such in depth answers to the shallowest of questions. He really made you think when he spoke. Tom Snyder did a terrific job in this interview as well.

I get what you mean, but there genuinely are artists like him these days, but they are often obscured by the mainstream brainwashing we call music now-a-days... Or they join the contemporary pop-wagon in order to go big. Look at some of coldplay's first albums and songs, it's rather original and unique. Or people like Alec Benjamin, especially some of his earlier music, very artistic. I'm not comparing, rather mentioning. What made John a cut above the rest, is that he had experience and a talent for combining art and poetry with good sounding music and theory. As stated in the interview, he got to work with many musicians, whicb I think, really gave him some good wisdom and knowledge in the field. And he was overall a good guy.

Only other interview I have seen Tom do is with Charles Manson and unfortunately like Geraldo he fell into the bully boy trap . Wanting to act the tough guy while being a privileged interviewer and asking the same nonsensical questions over and over . I just don't understand why interviewers will go in with a hardened criminal who is used to constant threats in a prison environment and try and act like they're Mike Tyson pushing chest out and acting all scary when it just makes the person shut down and laugh at them. Not putting Tom down I have only seen one interview with Manson apart from this but he should have changed his style of interview approach when all he was doing was hitting a brick wall against Manson. Dick everret (think he's called) interviewed both John and George and he was able to go to a plan B and plan C when George was difficult to crack

Wanting to act the tough guy while being a privileged interviewer and asking the same nonsensical questions over and over . I just don't understand why interviewers will go in with a hardened criminal who is used to constant threats in a prison environment and try and act like they're Mike Tyson pushing chest out and acting all scary when it just makes the person shut down and laugh at them. Not putting Tom down I have only seen one interview with Manson apart from this but he should have changed his style of interview approach when all he was doing was hitting a brick wall against Manson. Dick everret (think he's called) interviewed both John and George and he was able to go to a plan B and plan C when George was difficult to crack
Peace and Love ☮️❤️
When he talks about walking down the streets in NY 😢
It's so interesting hearing them talk about the 60s-70s becoming the past, and 1988 being the future...
And now its 2023, its so unreal! this interwiev 48 years old omg haha
I know right
Tom Snyder is so smart. A great journalist to interview an icon like John Lennon.
When he asks John about music groups in 1988, It's hard to believe he would be gone 8 years by then.
Yeah. Messed up.
That was the year Nirvana was born, and Kurt Cobain idolized John Lennon.
Gone but not forgotten.
@@kamuelaleenever forget
I like how he casually predicted Nirvanas inception which was around ‘88
You know, whenever I feel like I am at some kind of crossroads as a musician, or feel like I need some inspiration... I always find myself wanting to listen to John talk. It's as if he's become the touchstone in my life to remind myself what music and art are really about.
I wish there was more vidios of him talking.
I love John Lennon since the first time I heard him ❤. He was the best poet
John was 100% inclusive. No boundaries. Like all the greats. All styles have something to give.
John was the Main man and a Legendary human being....
Probably my favorite celebrity. The coolest.
Crazy to think as he said Elvis...Elvis was still alive in 1975. Time takes such weird turns
50 years later and the Beatles music is still going strong, bands are still playing same insturments.The Beatles were a phenomenon.
John. Such a beautiful soul.
He beat his wife
@@Justmint939No he didn’t. He slapped Cynthia once when they were dating. He didn’t touch Yoko.
I find it absolutely fascinating that John became enamored with the US and fought tooth and nail to get his citizenship to be able to live in America. It’s sad that he died in a city that he loved.
If he hadn't, he'd probably still be alive.
Better than in a city you hate.
And did a total 180 politically…went from a damn bear commie, to basically conservative
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 that could of been a tactic to get his citizenship. America would never have given it to a commie especially in them days.
And Biden now let's anyone in criminals etc. Anyone.
Honestly an amazing interview. Lennon is full of wisdom and sharp as ever while the interviewer is asking articulate questions. No canned laughs, no music, no annoying comic relief, etc. Talk shows now are a fever dream compared to what they we're in the 70s and even the 80s. Oh and that last part where he talked about being able to go where he wants without fear of people disturbing him... Foreshadowing if i've ever seen any.
I agree with you. A fun one to watch is Graham Norton. He gets multiple celebrities on the couch at the same time. Much better than anyone in North America.
I always knew John was cool he liked disco
Yes and all Beatles guys loved Abba. Paul got to know Benny Andersson well and they and their wives became close friends.
❤❤❤
Wow. these interviews aren't about who's dating who. they're not a celebrity telling a story just to entertain a crowd watching, they're about LIFE and the musicians LIFE and opinions and deep thinking and OH M G its so AWESOME I could just watch it forever cuz its actually INTERESTING!
Tom is a great interviewer I love him
Abbey Road was as good an album if not better than anything they had ever done. No idea how they came up with such brilliance time and time again. By 1970 they were young adults needing to go their own ways, but what a ride that was.
Revolver was better.
70’s Disco was pretty great! Gotta agree with him here. Proved to be true as well and Still dominates many airwaves and TIkToc vids. Stayin Alive album is incomparable.
John sang about what it meant to be human. I was 16 when he was taken away from us. I remember that night. I couldn’t believe it. I wanted so much to grow old with him.
its hard for me to watch these old videos. i miss john so much. 😔
I love at how around 8:04 John and Tom both thank the guy who mentioned the correct location. Wish i was alive when Lennon was.
Same. And they say it simultaneously, it's so natural and genuine from both of them
Both men are long gone now,RIP Men.👍
Oh come back John, PLEASEEE!!!
John was such a nice guy complimented tom saying he had to be more recognizable than him when he knew damn well he was lol
"We were stale musically". He's talking about the Abbey Road.🤣
"All you need is love"... with a pure mind.
"Now I can go anywhere and people don't bother me." Poor man had no idea.
"I was playing with Paul since we were 15 , and he is very nice!" Typical funny Lennonism! I watched this LIVE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO APRIL 28 1975!
Me too. I was 15. ✌
I love the ending of this interview and how when it came to music business it was glossed over quickly.
Tom's in top form here. Some great questions and John is opening up.
He was great. But I think of Dan Ackroyd when I see him now.
The "futuristic" predictions for 1988 is hilarious - here in 2023 our pop artists can't even play the instruments as good as they did in the 60's!
Musicians only need a computer now, which on plus side, does get more people involved especially young, who can't afford lots of instruments or lessons.
Lennon is cool and smart and Yoko and John were amazing together. I am sure she misses him to this day. By the way I Love his new single that came out last week. Number 1 in the UK!
If only we could have John today. Not because his views are the right views, or his ideas. We were robbed by never having any new songs from one of the two Mcartney and Lennon best song writers to ever walk the earth. If given the chance to meet him i bet he would be so nice. R.I.P John. So sad that it ended the way it did. I’m 100% positive that Jerk of all Jerks will never get out. That’s fine with me. Who agrees with me
I agree 🤚
Quite scary how he even nearly said '' Grunge '' as well.
betty swollicks when?
I think he's referring to when he said they'll be playing "grudge blobs and zap dungas" in 1988. (at the 3 minute mark)
Yeah that caught my attention too. So weird
a true artist.
Too right
They were talking about the beatles like it was 50 years ago. 😅😅
One had to respect John for his candor, which often got him into trouble.
Fun fact: Before the interview John Lennon spoke with Dr. Seuss. If you don't understand my comment the rewatch this and listen closer.
The greatest man ever, imagine name a song in the world
Tom was off by 3 years . Oasis formed in 1991 about 30 miles from Liverpool
John would have lived in Vancouver in 2000-10 ...it's him ...was me too 😊
☮️💟 i miss him. I am so glad that I was alive when he was alive & can remember him being such a positive guy!
John bless John. Such a honest talent
John Lennon resterà sempre nei nostri cuori ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ grande indimenticabile
DAMN how'd he know about the groochblobs and zapdoongas back then
k i know this comment is 3 years old but i just wanna say op i laughed stupidly hard at this
@@kaily9456 I know this reply is 3 years old but I also find this comment real funny
@@velvetwatermelon2647 thank goodness you read it at exactly the right time
I own two of each myself
Two years later, I also found this comment humorous
"Stay tuned". So is there a part 2?? 🤔👍
"I like the disco music that's out now" 😚
That bed in for peace was so so cool!
Good interview!
This is absolutely amazing simply amazing an actual John Lennon interview without HER!
People forget that as well as being an outstanding musician, John was also a very clever man.
John “They promote WAR, we promote PEACE” Lennon ❤❤
He was SO funny XO
Thank you - I wasn't even aware of this book but I will search it out for sure.
Great interview..I remember one in which was about a time later than this interview..when he was walking around New York and came to a crosswalk waiting for the green light and a woman said something along the lines of “Aren’t you…” and Lennon just put his finger up to his lips and went Ssssssssh…how cool was that experience!!
'There's a music in jamaica called reggae' Hard to believe it was so new back then...
John quanto manchi... Bellissima intervista
cool! Thanks for posting.
Best interview that I have ever seen ... with John
I know what John is talking about with making music with new musicians it really changes the music.
Loving this
I really do believe he was a great person. And so ahead of his time.
A great artist and personality, yes. A great person? He had his deficiencies.
@@dukeford8893finally a person that knows the truth all because he’s a good musician doesn’t make him a good person he beat his wife and much more other messed up stuff yet he’s labeled as a good person no he’s a good musician big difference
@@vlMatthewlv I don't think binary labels like "good" vs "bad" are particularly useful or accurate. People seem to forget that celebrities are still human and John Lennon was just a person who did some great things as well as some terrible things. George Harrison probably said it the best. That he could be amazing, wonderful, kind, charming, friendly, affable, etc… But he could also be such a BASTARD.
I listen to a lot of great sonwriters, Drake, King, etc, etc but I always come back to Lennon, the best!
What’s Drake?
Tf you can’t be serious
@@ascottrusso don't be an elitist. everyone has their tastes
But Drake doesn’t write his lyrics 😅
@@jackieburkhart3268real
I've driven from Scotland today radio five live was on dotun adabayo they had a blast at reggae brilliant I love lennon he's my hero I grew up with the beatles born 71 me old man played them so I did rip Jon lennon
Awww I love how he said it’s cool and understands when he goes out that paparazzi will be there and it’s all part of the price of fame. Love him, good man who didn’t deserve what happened to him.
Love john lennon forever ❤
John references both his immigration status and his ability in 1975 to walk around the NY streets when compared his earlier Beatlemania experience. Made me think If just simply his immigration was denied, he may have been still with us and what this world be with him in it a little longer.
I miss you John ....
ABOVE US ONLY SKY !!!
That is a great analogy on evolving your style. You got to move on and play ( work, laugh, write, learn, study etc) with someone ( other people, groups etc) else if you are going to learn and grow.
It’s crazy to see how much more laid back he was at this time when he and Yoko were separated. If only he stayed with May Pang, who knows what more he could’ve done. This is when he collaborated with lots of other musicians like Bowie
This is April of 1975. He's living in The Dakota with Yoko, who will give birth to Sean in six months on John's 35th birthday...
Yoko made him a better artist
Thomas James Snyder (May 12, 1936 - July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows Tomorrow, on NBC in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on CBS in the 1990s.[1] Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the prime time NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates.
the guy kinda reminds me of another geneus - Jimmy Persey. I know that Lennons admired Persey's early work, and it is a little know fac that he played on the Kidz Next Doors' demos - Persey's younger brother Robbie was in that band. So John's involvement in that family went beyond just being close friends with Jim. RIP John!
“Stale musically?” Abbey Road was arguably their best record.
At the time it was not considered their best
I had a pet rat named Abby Rodent.
I would say A Hard Day's Night was their best
Come on Tom, listen to him so you won’t have to ask the same questions twice
Legend 🙏🍀👌❤️🎼🎸🎵🎶✌️🍁🍂love.
odd that Tom should speculate that in 1988 there would be a revival of the beatles sound, because he was absolutely right.
wouldnt happen until 90s but it was close
U2 was the band that used contemporary instruments and made awesome NEW SOUND
2:54 Dude predicted grunge wtf
I'd never heard of Tom Snyder, but it was like listening to a conversation rather than an interview, he let John talk and had questions and information seamlessly lined up, with no pauses or Ingratiating laughing. I'm glad John found peace in his last years, and ironically his marriage to yoko lasted til the end.
"there's a music called reggae" hahahhaha its funny how something so classical to us was once new
Come on Science we need John back and hurry!
2024 YUP!✌️
Mike, wow, good thinkin, right on,love nirvana an John!
The one side I see while watching is that John Lennon is such a gentlemen
Tom Snyder predicts the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays - so in fact, it wasn't Tony Wilson who created Madchster - but an American talkshow host.
It's a shame that his openness cost him his life,nice post!
I love the ON AIR apology to the guy who's phone number he gave out.
1:41 John Lennon gives a solid shout out to Jamaica and Reggae music in this segment, very cool!!!!!
@Rukkisman ahh yeah man, totally thought that too, haven't really seen many interviews or known much about this guy (apart from his epic musicianship), but this guy is a complete legend and genuine bloke!
