😄 Favorite John Era

I would also say 1980, given the pure energy and maturity that John had in his final year, his drive really surpassing anything like he’d had before and perhaps making him slightly more like McCartney!

In the Beatles I really love the Magical Mystery Tour era. For everything that had just happened (introduction to Maharishi, Brian’s death, Sgt. Pepper’s) and everything just about to happen (India, Yoko, Linda) it feels that even its chaos is calmer than the Beatles’ real lives. John seems rather content that Paul is the bandleader at this point, and it’s nice to see them recording and filming on their own terms and it still being so utterly groundbreaking.
