John Lennon played a rare live show in New York City.
John Lennon is one of the greatest songwriters and performers of all time.
He also was an experienced live performer, racking up 1,500 odd shows first with The Quarrymen and then The Beatles.
But The Beatles quit touring after a final show in Candlestick Park, San Francisco, only playing live once more on the roof of Apple HQ during the fractious Get Back sessions.
When John Lennon went solo after the breakup, it seemed as though he'd lost his taste for live performance. Despite releasing six studio albums during the 1970s, Lennon didn't go on a proper tour. In fact, Lennon barely played live at all after The Beatles. His only full-length shows came on August 30, 1972.
On that date, Lennon and Yoko Ono performed two sets at Madison Square Garden in New York City for the One to One Concert. They were backed up by the Plastic Ono Band with Elephant's Memory and Special Guests.
Some of the songs from the first set were available on the much-maligned Some Time in New York City album, but many of the performances from that momentous day have never seen an official release.
