How about this Aerosmith cover before their late post-Draw-the-Line descent?
From that horrible
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978) movie? Remember that? Anyway, the only redeeming qualities of that film were Aerosmith's "Come Together" and Elton's John's "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds."
Yes, the same song he did four years earlier in 1974 live with John Lennon at Madison Square Garden.
John Lennon appeared at the concert because of a bet that he had with Elton. The bet was that "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" would not become a hit record. It did. Elton won the bet and John showed up to perform "Lucy" along with Paul's "I Saw Her Standing There" for the encore.
The audio versions here of "Lucy ..." and "I Saw Her Standing There" are accurate. However, if you watch these videos above, Elton John and his band interactions are proper. But when it comes to showing John Lennon himself ... most are photography stills of John Lennon. With John wearing sunglasses. I believe the "live interactions" of Mr. Lennon that are shown of him
singing?? [at 0:59, at 1:07, at 1:30 and at the end 3:36] are actually coming from the Rolling Stones'
Rock and Roll Circus Show in 1968. There John has his regular spectacles on.The same circular ones from the later Beatles' albums:
Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, the
White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be.
Am I right, gmase?
Possibly the Estate of John Lennon has blocked images of Mr. Lennon performing live in concert? Either that or someone screwed up in the editing of these.
