Notes: After a cuppa it was down to business in the studio. John began by showing George his song, "How" (Footage in "Above Us Only Sky")
that he`d recorded the previous night, then following a quick jam (footage at the very start of "Gimme Some Truth") it was time to begin the first night`s song - "How Do You Sleep".
The raw footage of the majority of the recording of "How Do You Sleep" exists on bootleg DVD and lots of beautiful colour footage has turned up in most official Lennon documentaries as well.
