In 1972, I was only 12 years old. I remembered that when the Beatles broke up; I was so sad. And when John got killed; I was crying. Yes, Mark Chapman... you coward and had killed a man who was preaching the world peace. Instant Karma did get you, because you are still in prison......and you will in there for a long time.
@MrMaximusFilm Right on! I'm certainly no Yoko fan, but true love is something you don't often see. I sometimes think that if John was alive then they would still be happy together, but who knows? The Beatles were dying anyway; it's well documented. Instant Karma - one of my favorite songs, by the way. If the band hadn't have stopped then he could have gone on and on with it for all I care.
Mark Chapman you should have given peace a chance brother.But dont worry Instant Karma got you 30 years ago, you aint coming out of the bars brother.Peace.
Everybody stop hating on Yoko. They LOVED each other, John and Yoko, and that's all that counts. Who cares if she has a terrible voice? Their love is a beautiful thing to see. And the Beatles had tensions before Yoko.
i LOVE the beatles and am a huge fan of them together and seperate, but this is a bit of a lazy attempt on john's part......im a bit disapointed at his lack of care for the musical quality!
@herdygerdy36 im glad the beatles got wrecked look what happened after that. they all had great solo careers! and clearly the tension in the group was really bad so... yeah yoko no talent, so what!?
TO reply to the comment made about the backing band.
Lennon liked to use no-names, whether or not it was an egotistical thing or that he wanted to give some musicians which would other wise never get the chance
this concert sucked...real sloppy show...awful third rate back up band...career suicide..by 1975 he was done...and with mccartney having huge huge success..lennon retreated....i got sick of reading his interviews..he came off like a old man who faulted everyone....he turned into a real dick...shoving yoko the no talent down are throat and ripping and insulting the other beatles...
i am a john and paul fan....but i say it like it is..what i said is true...what are you? a fucking midget? you look like one of them little people motherfuckers...i hear hitler exterminated u fuckers...hated midgets more then jews...well maybe not...i got no problem with midgets...just dont want to be around you fuckers...dont take it personal i hate being around retards too
John Lennon... out of all the bitches he could have gotten, he chose the ugliest of them all...... that's just to show much the man loved and how much he loved HER.
People people! John Lennon doesn't want you sitting around praising him all day! He wants action on your part, he wants you to care about the state of the world. Look around, do people even care anymore?
Don't be one of them! Please fight the evil stirring in dark places! Look up, "The Obama Deception" on youtube! Find out whats really going on, its not about right or left, its about right and wrong!
Please inform yourself, and scream for peace! Its what John L. who have wanted.
@SunnyLovetts you should look other places before you base your political standpoints on a youtube video. LOL that shit IS part of the problem my friend. Nobody knows what to beleive anymore, so they just believe whatever satisfies their inherent need to blame somebody else for the shittyness of the world! LOL......
@123john962 I was there. I was only fourteen years old at the time, though. While I still have some vivid images of the concert, these YouTube clips are kind of "filling in some of the gaps" for me.
John had more guts than anyone- writing music about the truth whether people liked it or not too bad he died for it, he was a genius. John's music is immortal though
How this man lost his last chance with God.......what a pitty! We cannot say respect him same than we say respect anyone else: "He passed to a better life".
anyone bashing john here... listen to the simplicity of his songs. arguably one of the greatest songs ever, is the first thing i learned on the piano. C then F. but he makes it work. there are better vocalists out there, live performers, guitar players, keyboardists, hell maybe songwriters if you think so, but johns great at each of em, and he brought it all into one package.
I agree wih Kypoppa. I love the Beatles not just only one in this way. I like young John. Instant Karma told you John. R.I.P I love you and feel sorry for you too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
finally someone who I agree with, it was like he went on stage and whether he gave a crap about his performance or not we were all supposed to think it was great because it was John L. Garage band style from him just doesn't cut it.
You missed the point mousear, It's the message, not the medium.
I sincerely doubt that you were alive at that time, so you fail to put it into historical perspective.
John didn't think he was anything but a stage musician. What do you think the Beatles sounded like in the Cavern or Germany? This is a band that had never even met before this show, let alone rehearse, so cut Mr. Lennon a little slack and do a little research before you condemn a preformance.
He's just talking it here. On the record he's singing his heart out, you can hear his voice breaking. I know you can't perform like that night after night, but this was a one-off show. Just a bit disappointing. He's still the man though.
Please. John Lennon understood that someone can sit on a bench with the person they love whenever and wherever they damn well choose. Not a single musician or famous person "owes" anybody anything--especially not some canned performer image. Asking Lennon, or any Beatle to not show us their private life is like asking them to not write music.
saw both lennon and elvis here at msg and presley was far far superior in stage presence, vocal ability, stage sound and atmoshere. wasnt a fan of either but elvis knocked me off my feet when he walked on stage he was so dynamic and even though i am a straight guy i was 4 rows from the stage and the guy looked amazing. Johns show was average
No se puede decir nada de John Lennon que no se haya dicho. Un fuera de serie que inclusive hoy por hoy no ha sido ni siquiera empañado por ningun artista en toda la humanidad...
Amazing voice, talented, and great song writer! And it all started with his mom buying him his first guitar that she taught him to play by showing him some banjo cords. And his aunt Mimi never thought he could become big as he did.
