Just to clear up the mystery, that figure lurking behind John is none other than…Fred Seaman. He was along for this photo shoot and talks about it in his 1991 book, “The Last Days Of John Lennon.” Next to Cynthia Lennon’s fantastic 2005 book, “John,” Fred’s book is the other great Lennon book you have to read.
I dunno if I’d want to read Fred’s book. Didn’t he steal John’s diaries, and edit them to make him look like he was more important in John’s life? The same Fred who at one point wished Yoko, Sean and Julian would all die so he could be the authoritative source of Lennon knowledge? Didn’t Yoko have to sue him at some point to get some of John’s diaries back? Next to Albert Goldman, I can’t think of anyone’s book I’d like least to read.
Don’t know who that is….But it’s not Fred Seaman. And while Seamen is of dubious character for some of the things that allegedly happened after John died…That does not necessarily make his book unbelievable….It is indeed to the contrary a very interesting book by someone whom was definitely in a place and position to know fact from fiction…If he in fact embellished a story or 2 or left stories out of his book, that would hardly be a first in a Rock Musicians bio in the form of a book. Goldman on the other hand….his book?? A waste of paper & trees, and time should anyone decide the ramblings of a man who made a living shitting on the dead (which of course worked to his benefit, as his subjects could never defend themselves) are worthy of reading
Fred always claimed he was carrying out John’s wishes: “should anything happen to me, get these things to Julian” = dreadful conflict of interest with John’s widow.
That, or he took his chances nicking and got caught.
It is not Derek Taylor or Fred Seaman, and what would Andrew Loog Oldham be doing with Lennon here? This was taken November 26th at the Sperron Gallery in NYC after being filmed by Ethan Russell walking through Central Park which turned into the Woman video – and it’s not Ethan Russell. It’s either one of the film crew or a gallery management employee.
DAAAAYUM!
GREAT shot, Tam!!!! The $64,000 question – who is that with him?
It almost looks like Andrew Oldham but it couldn’t be – could it?!
WOW, WOW AND WOW!!! Could this be Fred Seaman? I have to confess I don’t really know what he looks like, so I may be saying something really stupid.
Great photo – definitely not Fred Seaman, but be interested to know who it is.
Also love to know the date this was taken. Looks like Oct/Nov 1980?
It also almost looks like Derek.
or, Shotten…
It does kind of look like ALO, but was he still on NYC at the time?
“in” NYC at the time… sorry!
Yes he was
And def not Derek Taylor or Pete Shotton
THAT’S ME! Kidding of course. lol
It does look like Fred!!!

where’s the rest of the tapes???

@mcarp555…
Another Jesus…another Judas
(not a real employee, not a real fan…just a real Judas)
“Judas”! I believe it!

Very cool new pic, Tammy you never disappoint!

Looks like it’s the set of the sex scene from ‘Woman’?
I still say it’s Derek.

I think it’s Fred Seaman.
