The video below is just amazing. It's from Los Angeles TV show "Prime Time News LA" with Patti Daley, who was connected with guitarist Jesse Ed Davis. Featured in the interview is Chris Carter, host of "Chris Carter's Breakfast With the Beatles," who comments on some of the pictures and the history surrounding John Lennon's Lost Weekend.
The pictures include shots of John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney at the Santa Monica beach house where Lennon stayed while in L.A. Also included were shots of George Harrison, Mick Jagger, Keith Moon, Micky Dolenz and Ron Wood.
Also seen: John Lennon's handwritten lyrics to "Whatever Gets You Through the Night."
Amazing stuff. Amazing video.

My Goodness, wow, just have heard the paul and john get together so much, and to see a picture of it. Awesome, what an awesome lady, what an amazing story.
Yeah, it seems reports like these come out all the time, but she does have some pretty amazing stuff.
she needs to do a book
She comes across as a nice warm person. You can tell she really means it when she said she felt priviledged to be there.
I love stuff like this. It really gives the fan insight into John when he was not being told where to stand and when to smile....just natural...LOVE the photo's of Paul. I wouldn't sell this collect if it were mine!

Patti needs to:
a.) Find someone to make digital copies of all her Polaroids
b.) Get a safe deposit box to store all that amazing memorabilia.
c.) Talk to a publisher about a book of her time with Jesse Ed.
Great story!
get some advice on archival storage of the originals, just putting them in a safe deposit box could be more damaging to them!
This woman should write a book about her times back then.
Isn't that picture of Paul on the piano at John's beach house the same one from May Pang's book, "Istamatic Karma"?
Got something to say?
