Taken from the book, he made more stage appearances than one might realise................(YouTube links are the ones I have found)

December 18th 1968 John and Yoko appeared at the Albert Hall, writhing on stage in a large white bag.

March 7th 1969 John and Yoko gave a concert at Cambridge

June 13th 1975 John performed on the television show "Salute to Lew Grade" in the U.S.
I did record this last concert on tape at the time and later trans. to DVD, and thinking I may post it to You Tube, but someone has beaten me to it.
AND there is a conflict in the dates, so take yer pick!!

YouTube blurb:-

John Lennon did not make many stage appearances during his short solo career after departing The Beatles. However, Lennon's final performance before a live audience is largely forgotten today. Lennon appeared at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on April 18, 1975, to perform on "A Salute to Sir Lew Grade",

Well, this thieving bastard is going to hear from my solicitor.

Oh, that's a shame about the Zappa one, but the Elton John was some sort of weird tribute so you haven't missed much; although they were good and what with the whole thing being slightly out of focus it did give a feel of the original maybe. All the other links of Elton and John together were just photographs with a soundtrack.
I think someone did mention that there was an original film made by someone in the audience but it had been pulled by YouTube.

Today's purchases:

Anyone heard F.F.S? Can they recommend it?

Also heard New Order are working on a new album.

Their Glastonbury set is still available (over an hour long), but probably not for much longer.

I've liked the stuff I heard there and on Jools.

I haven't heard the album yet but as a Sparks fan I recommend it anyway. They (FFS)'ll come to Zürich in autumn and I'm thinking about going to this concert.

Well I liked FF and Sparks so hoped it would work. I haven't listened to the Glastonbury show yet.

And yes - Hookie has left but he wasn'y on the last album was he?

He played on both, Waiting For The Siren's Call and Lost Sirens*, as far as I know.

* A record that has yet to become part of my CD collection.

It's a bit patchy. I wouldn't be in any rush to get it.

Bought these yesterday:

Haven't listened to the Yes album yet. The Pretty Things one is great, 4 discs covering their heydays.

I love Yes but they're just releasing loads of old live recordings now. I've got Yessongs and Yesshows already.

Quote: Chappers @ 4th August 2015, 7:56 PM BST

Yesshows

The only non archival Yes release I don't have...apart from the latest studio album.

Just saw this on facebook.

Faces reunion.

Would love to see them play but it does say "short" set.
