On April 25, 1975, John Lennon gave what was to be his last televised interview. As he spoke with Tom Snyder on The Tomorrow Show, no one suspected he was about to take an extended hiatus from public life. And no one could have predicted that Tom would rebroadcast that interview five years later - in memoriam - the day after John's tragic death.
This interview with John Lennon that re-aired on December 9, 1980, is one of three conversations Tom had with former members of The Beatles. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were enjoying solo careers at the times of their interviews, and their comments provide further insight into the effects of "Beatlemania" on their lives.
Disc One:
John Lennon Tribute
Original Air Date: 12/9/80
Additional Guests: Lennon Immigration Attorney Leon Wildes, Journalist Lisa Robinson and Music Producer Jack Douglas
It was December 9, 1980, and just one day earlier John Lennon had been shot and killed outside his New York apartment. Not since April 25, 1975, on The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder had Lennon set with anyone for a television interview. Snyder re-aired his conversation with the former Beatle while new guests Lisa Robinson and Jack Douglas provided additional commentary in light of the previous day's tragic event.
Disc Two:
Paul McCartney Interview
Original Air Date: 12/20/79
Features Wings Music Video "Spin It On"
Additional Guests: Fellow Wings Members Linda McCartney, Denny Laine and Laurence Juber
Live via satellite from London, it's Paul McCartney! By 1979 Wings was already a great rock band with a solid following, but that didn't stop Tom Snyder from asking Paul about a Beatles reunion! This conversation took place just prior to Wings going onstage for a holiday concert.
Ringo Starr Interview
Original Air Date: 11/25/81
Features Ringo Starr Music Video "Whack My Brain"
Additional Guests: Actress (and Ringo's Wife) Barbara Bach and Actress Angie Dickinson
Interviewed in Los Angeles, Ringo talks about his then-current album Stop And Smell The Roses - a title that reflects what Ringo was in effect doing at that time after years of "turmoil, ecstasy, frenzy and confusion", as Tom notes. Ringo also speaks out about his dear friend John Lennon.

Snyder Joins The Beatles - 2.25 out of 5 (4/7/2008)
While I'm not sure it rises to the level of a "must-own" release, both Beatles fans and fans of the late broadcaster Tom Snyder should certainly enjoy this latest Tomorrow Show DVD release from Shout! Factory. Consisting of post-Beatles break-up interviews with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr from the 70s and early 80s, this DVD is a nice little time capsule of these men at a certain period in their lives.
Disc One contains the John Lennon interview, which is actually the
