Above Us Only Sky[Blu-ray]

This doc exists for only one reason: Yoko's Justification for song credit on "Imagine"
"Above Us Only Sky" has a lot going for it: loads of footage of John's first son, Julian talking about his time as a child at John's Twittenhurst estate, pristine footage of the making of the album "Imagine", and some seriously great music. However, at the end of the DVD, the real reason that this new documentary exists becomes painfully apparent - Yoko wants the world to know that John actually said she should have been accorded a songwriting credit on his song "Imagine". And so, his recorded voice explaining Yoko's "contribution" is front and center as the film winds up. While I'm sure it was said with loads of love, the reality is that if Yoko had had an actual hand in the writing of the song, "Imagine" would have included her screeching & caterwauling or 5 minutes of silence which would indicate her actually "imagining" the song in her head. Yoko's continuing sell-out of John's legacy is endlessly galling, but probably in keeping with what John would have wanted had he lived & had they remained together. So, for the Beatles connoisseur, this is a satisfying if ultimately insulting experience. Just so you know what you're getting ahead of time!

Above us only sky dvd, and the making of the Imagine album by John Lennon
This is a fantastic documentary and it is a must-have for anybody that is a fan of John and Yoko. Great footage of the Ascot Mansion where John Lim following the Beatles break up and a grape record of just how things were done there. It primarily focuses on the making of the album imagine. Really great footage. All your friends were there oh, John, Yoko, Phil Spector, Klaus voormann, Etc. I found it very interesting, and very entertaining. There's even footage of your young Julian Lennon playing with some friends on the 99 acre estate.

John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky
I like this DVD and I found a lot of discussion from the artists. John Lennon and Julian Lennon had a lot of interesting things to say. There was talk about John being totally separated from the Beatles to the point where he never went to the offices where the Beatles recorded in their studio.

Disappointing.
Very disappointed. Just a bunch of random stuff thrown together for marketing it seemed. Not what I expected...donated it.

What can I say, it's John Lennon.
Whether you are a life long John Lennon fan like me or a new fan, very entertaining and gives a good insight into his life after the Beatles.

A good Lennon documentary.
Although touted as a brand new documentry on realise a lot of it I've seen before. Still there's enough new footage to make it a must have for Lennon /Beatles fans.
