Elton predicted it would go to #1, and bet Lennon that if it did, he had to come out and do it with him at MSG. It did, and this became John's last major live performance.
@@L33Reacts T he pictures at the end are the actual photos of that concert. As you can see he is NOT wearing a cape, like he is in this Biopic movie, "John and Yoko: A Love Story" "Yoko" you see sitting in the audience is the actress who played Yoko. I can't remember her name now. This was a movie made for TV. I saw it back then, but for some reason it seems it is not available on DVD, I have been looking for it, and can't find it. No , it's not the studio recording, it sounds too muddled, ON John's album "WALLS AND BRIDGES" it is very clear. Actually this happened after John had returned from his "Lost Weekend" that lasted about 14 months when Yoko sent him to LA with their assistant MAY PANG. She felt stifled by John and wanted time away from him. After this performance with Elton, is when they got back together again, and the first time they had seen each other in that 14 months.
He also sang the Beatles song I saw Her Standing There with Elton at the same concert. It was released as the b side of Elton John’s Philadelphia Freedom single. John Lennon was also on Elton’s version of Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds under the name Dr Winston O’Boogie.
Lennon and Yoko were still separated here. they wouldn't get back together for another 2 months, at the beginning of February. This was at the end of his 18 month separation from yoko and a long partying binge, commonly refered to as his "Lost Weekend." During that time he was living in LA and hanging with the likes of Elton, Nillsson, Ringo, Alice Cooper, Micky Dolenz, Bowie, & others.
Since the footage was from a biopic, I think the Yoko shots were there to show how she warmed up to John after seeing him again for the first time after their separation in the early 70s. Notice how the actress scowls early on and then starts smiling towards the end.
Elton wrote a BEAUTIFUL song for John after he was murdered called "EMPTY GARDEN: Hey Hey Johnny" Other than saying "Johnny" in the song, his lyrics use metaphors to allude to John and also on his murder and how it affected people. I HOPE you will do a REACTION to it. Yes, they were good friends with each other.
Someone else mentioned the bet, John at that point did not have a #1 solo song, Elton co-wrote the song, this Thanksgiving 74 ( I believe ), Elton invited Yoko to the concert to get then back together after “The lost weekend” that lasted a year and a half in LA. The audio must have been a bootleg, I have the CD Here and There and the sound is great. After What Ever Gets You Thru The Night, Elton and John do Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and I Saw Her Standing There. I’m sure you can stream it, the 3 songs are about 15 minutes. Well worth it if your a Beatles fan
Gail, great request! One for me to cross off my list! Lee, Elton John (almost) always dressed/s outrageously. He was such a gifted piano, player and songwriter From the beginning. He dressed like everyone else, and went by his given name of Reggie Dwight Until the day someone told him to stand out and that’s how he would make it. He Put on costumes and changed his name and here we are. I’m so glad he got that advice. And of course, another good one from John 😍. Thanks Lee And Gail! 🥰
The visuals are actually taken from a John Lennon biopic movie. I fell into the same trap thinking that the visuals is actual footage of the live performance. I forgot the name of the biopic. That would help explain when the camera keeps panning to the actress playing Yoko. However, the audio is from the actual performance…
That is so annoying. I've seen reactors think they're reacting to an artist for the first time, like Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis, and it's from the biopic, not just the video, but the audio too! Footage of this performance exists; it's too bad Lee didn't find it.
It's NOT Yoko, it's an actress playing Yoko and the concert shown here is a biopic movie that was made for TV called "JOHN and YOKO: A LOVE STORY" The black and white still photos shown at the end were taken at the ACTUAL real concert, where you can see that John was NOT wearing a cape as it is depicted in the recreation for the movie.
During John's lost weekend period he didn't do anything musically and didn't want to Elton finally talked him into getting back to it and go into the studio with him
After his appearance (they just did this, I Saw her Standing There, and Lucy) John Lennon did leave the stage and was sick. He hadn't done a live performance in a long time and was very nervous. In the studio version of Elton's 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds', Lennon sings backing vocals and plays a guitar...he was credited as 'Dr. Winston O'Boogie'. Elton and Lennon were close...he's even godfather to Lennon's son Sean.
Even though this is from a movie, the performance led to John and yoko reuniting and making Sean. Elton is Sean’s godfather. There’s an interview by Sean of Elton on RUclips from 2020 for John’s 80th bday. Check it out.
Three quick things. One… This is not the actual performance (although the audio is!) Two… Elton John was on the original studio version. He told Lennon it would go to number one they had a friendly bet and John said if it went to number one, he would join Elton on stage and perform it live. Three… This was the last performance John Lennon ever had in public. He and Yoko got back together after the concert… They had Sean, and John stopped recording. (Until 1980… And we all know what happened) Also, the song was number one in the charts when they performed it… John’s first US number one solo song
No, the show here and the audience are NOT real, it is from that movie "John and Yoko: A Love Story" John did NOT wear a cape on stage, the black and white photos at the end of the video are from the REAL concert, and you can see that John is NOT wearing a cape. There is no actual film of that concert as far as we know. The audio is from the real concert.
I hate to be the spoil sport, but it wasn't John. This is from a movie about John and Yoko. It was the real vocals, just not the real people. Sorry... 😬 The snapshots at the end were from the actual concert.
Walls and Bridges was his best album since Imagine. Several songs deserve a repeated listen: "#9 Dream", "Surprise Surprise" "Nobody Loves You When Your Down and Out" and "Scared" are the true highlights.
It was really weird to find out last month I misheard a line ever since the 70's. I thought he was singing "Don't need a drug to know your mind" instead of "Don't need a gun to blow your mind". The real lyric is actually creepy given what happened to him.
During Lost Weekend, Yoko commissioned Paul to go to LA and talk to John to come back to her and her conditions for reunion. And it is again Yoko and John who totally try to erase Paul from their reunion story and his important and impact in John’s life.
There is some brief footage of the actual performance shot by a fan I think - he was shot by a fan! Bad choice of words there - up on youtube somewhere. Lasts about a minute. Surfaced just a few years ago. I personally prefer the version of this with just John singing...might be on JL Anthology or somewhere but it exists.
Just know that this isn't the footage from the concert. These are actors re-creating it, and zero effort was made to make the actors look like the band members. The audio recording was from the live concert (with a large portion of it released on the album 'Here and There'. It is funny how the clueless actors have no idea how to look like they are actually playing instruments though.
@@L33Reacts Lol the shocked look on your face was priceless. Here's a video featuring the same band doing the backing vocals for 'Candle in the Wind', showing what they looked like. From left to right: Davey Johnstone guitars/vocals, Nigel Olsson drums/vocals, Elton, and Dee Murray bass/vocals. Also note their singing. They wrote, arranged, and performed this on their own. It's crazy good. ruclips.net/video/kPu6AOotfFs/видео.html Ray Cooper was in the band then too.
The drummer Nigel Olsson's singing is so strong he had to turn his back to the mic when recording the vocals. They literally recorded this standing at one mic...was not done separately and mixed together.
that wasn't the actual footage and that WASN'T Yoko. Elton John Remembers His Friendship With John Lennon and the 1974 concert ruclips.net/video/jmrWJ5p523Y/видео.htmlsi=VPNfk1plZJX7HZTG
Wasn't, isn't, Elton the godfather of John's son Sean? Also, wasn't John still in his "Lost Weekend" period at this time (until early 1975)? Thus, still estranged from Yoko?
Elton John made a bet with John Lennon that if this song would go to number one that John would actually get up and play it live I don’t think John really thought it would go to number one but he kept his promise after it went to number one and appeared live on stage to do this song
The single hit #1 and John Lennon lost the bet that Elton made with him. The bet was that if the song hit the top, Lennon would have to perform the song live with Elton on stage! On the #1 hit, Lennon sang backup on Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Elton's version was #1 for two weeks.
Elton John is godfather to John Lennon's older son, Julian. I noticed that Elton's rhythm section was missing; neither Nigel Olsson on drums nor Dee Murray on bass, was present, although Davey Johnstone was center stage, as usual.
This was Lennon's only #1 solo single, making him the last Beatle to accomplish this feat. It was all Lennon's composition but Elton's honkeytonk piano and harmonies took it to a different place.
In his lifetime. Both Woman and Starting Over made No 1. He also had a No 1 as a "featured" artist on David Bowie's Fame (his only No 1), though since that wasn't a thing back then, it only counts toward his No 1 songwriting tally. JL has just been overtaken by Max Martin on that list. PM still tops it, but at the rate MM is going, not for long.
Ono threw Lennon out for hid drinking and drugs and he hooked up with May Ping. He was a blackout drunk and got into fights a lot in LA. The movie cuts to Yoko because at this show she saw him looking sober and happy and invited John back home. That is not Yoko
I can't tell for sure, but that might be May Pang. This is 1975, but I don't know who John was with at this show. That angle really doesn't look like Yoko.
Yeah apparently this is a movie. I’m guessing the requester didn’t care or didn’t know 😂 I was wondering why it was so strange…. Makes a lot more sense now
Dang it! Would you PLEASE stop doing live versions before doing the studio versions! One of my favorite JL songs. How much does it cost to sponsor spotlight artist of the month?
Apparently, she was actually there, and they got back together then after the show. Google: 'How an Elton John concert led John Lennon and Yoko Ono to get back together' and you'll see the details. :)
Glad you got to see this. But this is one of my least favorite John Lennon songs. There were a lot of truly great written songs on the Walls and Bridges album and they deserve a more prominent place in his listening cannon.
There is no original video of this concert. This video is an animation made for a Yoko Ono film based on Yoko's imagination 😆because nobody was sitting there
@@L33Reacts why not? I didn't say listen to song...just some background stuff. Anyway... l🎉ove listening to you...research could just allow you to know the background...that's all. Also...elton said John was so nervous...not knowing how he would be received...elton said that was the loudest he's ever heard the crowd...and he performed at msg many times before. Just some nice"tidbits" for your audience. ***John was so insecure!!! Always has been. Just the opposite of Paul. PS., did u review "She's Leaving Home" ,(Beatles)..if not check it out!
@@DavidBreslow I agree with Lee. Many times, there's a surprise in the video or in the lyrics. You're just waiting to see the reaction. I hate it when a reacter says what the surprise is before watching it.
@@debjorgo I remember the movie being good and the ratings were great. They did alright with it. Seeing this clip, I finally noticed the ridiculous cape (which isn't in the real photos at the end) and the bad barre chords. I'm definitely tempted to find the entire movie and watch it again.

"Fame," John with David Bowie is definitely worth a listen. Great song.
Elton predicted it would go to #1, and bet Lennon that if it did, he had to come out and do it with him at MSG. It did, and this became John's last major live performance.
My brother and Sister-in-Law were at this Elton John concert. The audience exploded when John came out!
The footage is from the biopic John & Yoko: A Love Story from 1985 (John never wore a cape!). The audio is the real live recording👍
Thanks for filling me in. I was wondering why the video was so strange and the audio didn’t match lol

Originally, John didn't know Yoko was in the audience. They met back stage and thus the end of his 'Lost Weekend'.
Nive fact... add to my list. Ty

Elton is Sean Lennon's Godfather. That's what John & Yoko wanted. Shows their important connection. Thanks.. GAZ (Melbourne/Australia)
The first chords that the band plays right after John and Elton hug at 2:31 in the video are from the Beatles' 1964 hit "I Feel Fine"
John was a helluva rhythm player
He also made an appearance with David Bowie on their cowritten song Fame.
I ❤ The Elton and John Lennon singing Lucy in the sky with diamonds and i love love this song ❤ .I have only got into the Beatles since 2020😊
Since the footage was from a biopic, I think the Yoko shots were there to show how she warmed up to John after seeing him again for the first time after their separation in the early 70s. Notice how the actress scowls early on and then starts smiling towards the end.
I don't think that was Yoko, John and her separated for a while. John had another Asian girlfriend during this time.
Elton wrote a BEAUTIFUL song for John after he was murdered called "EMPTY GARDEN: Hey Hey Johnny" Other than saying "Johnny" in the song, his lyrics use metaphors to allude to John and also on his murder and how it affected people. I HOPE you will do a REACTION to it. Yes, they were good friends with each other.
Totally agree!!!
The song Empty Garden, words by Bernie Taupin, is a trubute song for John Lennon😮😊and performed by Elton John.
It’s live. Lennon honored his promise to perform live with Elton to perform live if the song hit #1.
The audio is live, but the video is from a movie.
Someone else mentioned the bet, John at that point did not have a #1 solo song, Elton co-wrote the song, this Thanksgiving 74 ( I believe ), Elton invited Yoko to the concert to get then back together after “The lost weekend” that lasted a year and a half in LA.

John and Yoko had been estranged fir 18 months at thus time. Until that night.

Fun Fact...Elton John was the keyboard player with the Shulman brothers pre Gentle Giant (as was Dudley Moore)

The name of the TV movie was "JOHN and YOKO: A LOVE STORY"
Completely agree about the camera showing Yoio so much. I wanted to see John and Elton and the band.
It's NOT Yoko, it's an actress playing Yoko and the concert shown here is a biopic movie that was made for TV called "JOHN and YOKO: A LOVE STORY" The black and white still photos shown at the end were taken at the ACTUAL real concert, where you can see that John was NOT wearing a cape as it is depicted in the recreation for the movie.
In a completely different vein, Lennon's song "Cold Turkey" describing his withdrawal from heroin addiction is one of a kind.
During John's lost weekend period he didn't do anything musically and didn't want to Elton finally talked him into getting back to it and go into the studio with him
yes! this is a good john song. also like nobody told me. john was a great songwriter
Been trying to get him to do John's posthumous songs (Nobody... or Steppin Out) for awhile.Maybe if we keep trying.
@@garyarnett1220 i think in good time he will get around to it. he likes john. we can hope
Great reaction! Saw Elton once, theatrical and amazing. I think it was 3 costume changes.

Having knowledge can be a burden. 🖖
Young people seem to think that audio from the 70s was crap. Trust me it wasn't .
Because it’s the actual audio played over a movie clip. I know the sound wasn’t shit in the 70s. I’ve heard enough of it to know 😂
Elton is Sean Lennon's godfather.

@@Kieop And they keep showing the close-up of Yoko and you can tell it's not her.
They did a few songs on the night. You should listen to When I Saw Her Standing There from the same show. The 'live' footage is from a movie.

Yoko doesn’t look like Yoko and THAT John, well…. I don’t know. The pictures at the end don’t show John in that huge cape.
Cool! I recommended this one a couple of weeks ago in the Friday post.
Walls and Bridges was his best album since Imagine. Several songs deserve a repeated listen: "#9 Dream", "Surprise Surprise" "Nobody Loves You When Your Down and Out" and "Scared" are the true highlights.
Nothing like the studio track.
Oh happy day! I'm so glad this one is up❤❤❤
Marc Bolan & Elton John & Ringo Starr - Children of the Revolution (1972). Does anybody know this video?
It was really weird to find out last month I misheard a line ever since the 70's. I thought he was singing "Don't need a drug to know your mind" instead of "Don't need a gun to blow your mind". The real lyric is actually creepy given what happened to him.
Jhon told Elton if this song hits #1 on the charts he will preform this song live with him and it hit # 1 you can double check me on that story.
Elton and John Lennon became friend in the 70s.
Yes, in 1973. Elton John said John Lennon was very funny and also very kind. Unfortunately we don't hear about that side of him often enough.
Elton had some wild outfits. One time he had on a duck outfit.
I'm still mad about what happened to John Lennon.
❤
Yoko is freaking me out 😳
This song came out my freshman year in college. Where did the time go?
During Lost Weekend, Yoko commissioned Paul to go to LA and talk to John to come back to her and her conditions for reunion. And it is again Yoko and John who totally try to erase Paul from their reunion story and his important and impact in John’s life.
The song is John Lennon featuring Elton John, but the concert is Elton John featuring John Lennon. Hope that clears things up!😜

L ennon appeared based on a bet with elton that his song wouldn't go to #1
It did so Lennon had to appear.
Do ur research!
Why would I do research on a video I’m supposed to be listening to for the first time?
@@L33Reacts why not? I didn't say listen to song...just some background stuff.
Anyway... l🎉ove listening to you...research could just allow you to know the background...that's all.
Also...elton said John was so nervous...not knowing how he would be received...elton said that was the loudest he's ever heard the crowd...and he performed at msg many times before.
Just some nice"tidbits" for your audience.
***John was so insecure!!! Always has been. Just the opposite of Paul.
PS., did u review "She's Leaving Home" ,(Beatles)..if not check it out!
@@DavidBreslow I agree with Lee. Many times, there's a surprise in the video or in the lyrics. You're just waiting to see the reaction. I hate it when a reacter says what the surprise is before watching it.
@@debjorgo talking about 2 different things. Never mind
That's not John and that's not Yoko, what the hell is this.
John & Yoko: A Love Story, aired on NBC in 1985. A huge hit and pretty good movie. The audio is real though.
@@captainsatellite2112 If they recreated this show, why make it look so bad?
@@debjorgo I remember the movie being good and the ratings were great. They did alright with it. Seeing this clip, I finally noticed the ridiculous cape (which isn't in the real photos at the end) and the bad barre chords. I'm definitely tempted to find the entire movie and watch it again.
@@captainsatellite2112 I looked it up. I do remember it now. Peter Capaldi played George Harrison. Peter went on to be Doctor Who for a while.
