I was there that night. All I have to say is as great the sound is on this video, it doesn't come close to what it was to be there. The roar when John Lennon came on stage was ear deafening. I consider myself very fortunate to have experienced it. Words just can't describe it so I won't try.
It’s called frequency of music. They dumb the sound to alter your mind. This is why most of the older music has been (remastered). Easy to look up on RUclips
To say "an old estranged fiancé of mine called Paul" and singing Paul's song was actually quite an affectionate gesture and remark because it shows Paul still meant a lot to him even though they were on non-speaking terms at that moment. But this is what happens with true friends, you can quarrel, you can go on separate ways but you still have strong feelings and you still care for your dear friend.
at that point they had "made up" and hung out. Paul hung out with John and Ringo during the "Lost Days" in LA, which led to this night, where Yoko showed up in the audience and they reconnected.
ukarmencb I think the biggest reason the Beatles broke up may have been the very bad business agreements they were stuck in. Quite a shame. They all had some pretty good songs apart but I’m sure they would have written many more songs as a group.

They met up with each other in 1972 during John's long lost weekend and in 1980 re-established contact to start working together after Macca's song "Coming up" inspired John to make a come back to music. In fact, when John did his concert in MSG he phoned Paul to join him on stage but The Wings' tour schedule prohibited him from flying over.
Technically not true. John appeared before a live audience with his "Walls & Bridges" studio band on the Salute To Sir Lew Grade' TV special. The show was shot at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on April 18, 1975 and broadcast shortly thereafter. He performed Slippin' And Slidin', and 'Imagine'. It was a rather surreal performance since John wanted to "send a message". But technically that was his last performance, about 5 months after the Elton John concert.
I was there on that amazing night, Thanksgiving night 1974. The ovation when Elton introduced John went on for at least 5 minutes. It was John's last live concert performance.
I was there, still have the ticket stub. It was the first concert I was ever at. I was 17, senior in high school. It was amazing, totally blew me away, nothing like I imagined a concert would be like. Unreal how loud it was. Opened with Funeral for a friend, amazing. Since then I saw him 27 times.
It's interesting that you say that. For as flawed as he was, I see him as somewhat of a sage. Nobody grew more as a person in the spotlight than John Lennon. He literally transformed from a young punk, vile, cynical, violent, bigoted, delinquent, to a wise, honest, love-spreading, peace advocate. I see him as more a philosopher and artist than a "rock god". It's truly amazing and inspiring!
@@nicholasmaxwell9899 Your description is more appropriate sage, philosopher, artist. It didn't feel right saying 'rock god' but I didn't know quite what to put. It feels certain people are put on earth to shake things up a bit. He was one such person. And his early delinquency was as necessary as his later self. A mirror to the world and a taste of what one can become.
Elton played piano and organ, and sang harmony vocals in Lennon´s "Whatever gets you through the night", and during the recording of the song Elton bet Lennon that it would be a chart topper. As Lennon didnt believe it would, he agreed to perform live with Elton if it did. The song topped the Billboard chart on November 16th, and this concert was 12 days later.
As kids we interpreted the lyrics as "... And the way she looked was way beyond repair. And I'd never dance with he mother oooh when i saw her standing there "
Thanksgiving night, 1974, MSG - I was in the middle level, behind the stage, 17 years old, easily the greatest live performance I ever saw, so lucky to have seen John Lennon and Elton John together, great memories!!
I might be wrong but it seems John didn't feel too comfortable performing live ("so I can get off stage and be sick"), without his old bandmates... It's a shame we don't get to hear much of John's voice here. And I LOVE that John chose a 'Paul' song to sing - if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that those two boys, despite the arguments, really loved each other.
John and George both really came to disliking live performances, partially because of the bad experiences of the Beatles world tour years. Ringo and especially Paul were more natural performers with huge audiences (like Madison Square Garden). John had been on stage a bit after coming to the USA but it really wasn't his goal. Sadly, he was putting together a tour in 1980 when Double Fantasy came out, but alas, fate would intervene.
@ Mrs Blue Sky You're correct that mentioning "being sick" is usually code for H use, but most Lennon scholars believe he had conquered that issue by this time.
Elton and Lennon, wow, what a priceless recording. They sound amazing. Anyone hear the little ‘I feel fine’ snippet Davey Johnstone slips in before the first chorus? Brilliant band (davey, Dee Murray and Nigel Olson)
Lennon is such a class act playing one of Paul's songs. A tribute to Paul, that he simply did not have to do, and most would not have given the in-fighting that was going when the Beatles broke up. If he was going to play something off the first Beatles album he could have done one of his own songs like Please, Please Me. Bravo John.
I disagree. It was very generous given the infighting that was still going on with Lennon and McCarthy. They became friends again, but they were still not saying the best of things to each other publicly. I'm sure Elton's band could have played just about any #1 hit that Lennon wrote and sung for the Beatles. He actually mentioned Paul in a kind way too. I don't remember Paul doing anything like that back then.
@@alexsaitta4041 Paul never ever said bad things about Lennon and that matter of George music, unlike Lennon that almost stopped McCartney career with his rude How do you sleep tonight blah blah.

That's for sure. As talented as John Lennon was, I have to wonder if he was somewhat unbalanced to allow Yoko onstage with him. Didn't he realize she was embarrassing the band and hindering the performance with her foolish antics?
I was there that Thanksgiving night with Sandy, Jerry T, "Louis", "Pete City" and the rest of guys & gals from Madison, NJ that followed Elton...we were right behind the stage in the first row...the placed shook like an earthquake hit when John came on stage... awesome...those memories always will be like it was 1974.
I bought the single of "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton and this was the flip side. I played it to death. I LOVED it then and now. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
It's been 42 years since we lost John. I wonder what he would be doing, if he had lived. Probably making music, touring, going on the internet. Maybe, just maybe they would have played together again. RIP John, Cynthia, and George. Rock and Roll Heaven. God Bless them all.
I was there for this magical night right by the stage by Eltons Piano, if I recall correctly he opened with Funeral for a Friend...One of the greatest live concerts of my early teen years. John Lennon was a big Plus!!!
It Stuns Me to this day. That Elton John and his entire crew knew John Lennon was going to perform and there is no film at all of this performance?? Or from anyone in the audience????
I was at this show and not only did Elton know, but pretty much everyone there knew. It was amazing though. The reaction when John walked onstage was incredible.
Nobody had video recorders. Best people had was Kodak 8 mm movie film and they needed a bright light, you could not film home movies in a dark concert hall like this with an 8 mm movie camera. Outdoors only, or with flood lights.
The people who were present lived in the moment, not through a phone screen. I bet that bugs you don’t it little Milli? Cheer up, it’s all going to be all right.
He also ceased to perform for awhile to be a father to his and Yoko's son, Sean. It would be roughly five years after that before he would return to pop chart glory with Yoko by his side (the _Double Fantasy_ album). Sadly, his return would be short-lived...
@@donatodonati5947 Yes audio only. It woulda been very unlikely to be filmed by an audience member anyway, for several reasons. 1. Virtually no ordinary people had film cameras back then, and even if they did the cameras were very primitive. No sound capabilities. Picture only. My dad had a cine camera, but no sound capabilities. To enable a basic cine camera to record a soundtrack would have taken a lot of preparation and extra equipment. Only people right down the front would have had enough light to film by. And 2. Filming pop concerts back then wasn't allowed anyway. If any security staff saw you filming they would have stopped you (and probably beaten the crap out of you)
We were there that Thanksgiving night in 1974...Sandy, Jerry T, "Louis", "Pete City" and the rest of the guys & gals from Madison, NJ that followed Elton...we were right behind the band stage in the first row...the placed shook like an earthquake hit when John came on stage... awesome, how lucky where we! ...those memories will always be forever.
This was total respect from Lennon to McCartney, I’m so glad they made it up before John was killed. I’ve met Paul, would love to have met John, they loved each other
As Elton once said without the Beatles almost all of the great rock artists wouldn’t have had a career. The Beatles opened up the world to great music and it’s still with us today. Though I would say that there are no new artists shaking the world in recent years.
I met her when she was 17 and I was 24, in 1986. She is now 54 and I am 61 and I have been in love with her ever since I saw her and shall forever be there for her.
That was a nicely produced video tribute to Johns first appearance on stage in years, and the last night of his "lost weekend". Yoko was backstage. After the show, they reconciled their differences and John went home. This being 1974, and technology being what it was, not many shows were video recorded. When they were, it was a big do. At least the audio was recorded. So, we at least have that to enjoy.
I added their rehearsal of "I Saw Her Standing There," where John's vocal's are much more present. It's a small collage of photo's from that time. I didn't know this till I found a photo of Yoko, Sean, and Elton on stage that didn't make the cut, but its out there. Enjoy!
Allways Big Elton fan from the Beginning, Dad was a classical fan But when I played Don't let..he allways stood up at the bit & sang ,close the door, he liked his music too.i allways hear him on that song.❤
This is truly a timeless and priceless experience and performance 🎉🎉2 legendary artist and musicians on the same stage playing music 🎶 🎵 together 🎉🎉. This point in time will never be replicated or duplicated 🎉🎉
I was there for the Mobile concert in '74. Elton played Lucy in the Sky in Diamonds at that concert over a month before it started getting local airplay. Great memories!
And 5 yrs after this video was put up I still miss & mourn John.... thank u so much for putting this up! I've never seen it before - its' wonderful. And Elton! I love you Elton. Such a voice - & such talent!! Plus I think he's a peaceful man. This video brought tears from me.
This song used to be on the flip side of the Philadelphia Freedom 45 . . . it was my go to on the juke box at the Yorkville, Illinois Pizza Hut back in the day.
I was there that Thanksgiving night working as a usher in the blues seat or nose bleed if your not from NYC and got paid $25 bucks to boot the garden was rocking
John was truly a rare individual. He and Ali come to mind as two famous and rich "celebrities" who spoke from their heart and didn't pander to mainstream thinking. As well, they both truly wanted to make the world a better place to live.
Thanks to all the people responsible for RUclips, for making it possible to see, hear and feel incredible talents who are no longer here in the physical world. But they are alive and bringing pleasure and joy still right here!
my dad was 21 then when this show happened and he was there at that night. Till today whenever me and my dad talk musical stuffs he remembers this particular show. It was the best show that he ever gone in his whole life.
Paul helped with Ballad of John and Yoko in the middle of their turmoil with each other that was a real brotherhood between this band.History is showing that they actually disagreed less than any band around them.they had their differences about music and business,like any marriage.
Good job cobbling this video together. You'd have thought that Elton's people would have had a professional film crew to record this event (but then nobody probably thought Lennon would die so soon). He'll be around for decades and decades. This was just one more concert.
Dr Winston O’Boogie as he referred to himself at that time also played and sung backing vocals on Elton’s cover of Lucy in the sky.... For someone who supposedly disliked being a Beatle at the end didn’t do a bad job of going back to his roots.

I was there for this magical night right by the stage by Eltons Piano, if I recall correctly he opened with Funeral for a Friend...One of the greatest live concerts of my early teen years. John Lennon was a big Plus!!!
It Stuns Me to this day. That Elton John and his entire crew knew John Lennon was going to perform and there is no film at all of this performance?? Or from anyone in the audience????
There were no cell phones in 1974, and in those days, we went to concerts to watch and listen, NOT record.
I was at this show and not only did Elton know, but pretty much everyone there knew. It was amazing though. The reaction when John walked onstage was incredible.
Nobody had video recorders. Best people had was Kodak 8 mm movie film and they needed a bright light, you could not film home movies in a dark concert hall like this with an 8 mm movie camera. Outdoors only, or with flood lights.
The people who were present lived in the moment, not through a phone screen. I bet that bugs you don’t it little Milli? Cheer up, it’s all going to be all right.
There's probably 35mm footage hidden somewhere waiting to be released, I mean there's videotape of it.
Elton brought John up on stage. And John brought Paul. Terrific.
It is funny that John chose a Paul song . After that Yoko put John back in isolation.
He also ceased to perform for awhile to be a father to his and Yoko's son, Sean. It would be roughly five years after that before he would return to pop chart glory with Yoko by his side (the _Double Fantasy_ album). Sadly, his return would be short-lived...
We don't mention that devilish name anywhere
John was a grown man who made his OWN choices. You really give him that little credit? Idiot. She should have put YOU in isolation.
Would have loved another comeback album from
Sure, it was an affront to her.
Jeez, a legend comes to the stage in a once in a lifetime moment and the fans film the tambourine player????
I think the tambourine man was Bernie Taupin! But, I agree, they should have filmed John Lennon!
Bernie was doing the tambourine lol, he wrote most of eltons songs
This is NOT the concert with John, simple as that
@@donatodonati5947 Yes audio only. It woulda been very unlikely to be filmed by an audience member anyway, for several reasons. 1. Virtually no ordinary people had film cameras back then, and even if they did the cameras were very primitive. No sound capabilities. Picture only. My dad had a cine camera, but no sound capabilities. To enable a basic cine camera to record a soundtrack would have taken a lot of preparation and extra equipment. Only people right down the front would have had enough light to film by. And 2. Filming pop concerts back then wasn't allowed anyway. If any security staff saw you filming they would have stopped you (and probably beaten the crap out of you)
Robert McArthur it’s 1974, dipshit ... WTF are fans supposed to film the show with????
Loved seeing this John is still missed to this day may he rest in peace
Their voices go so we together
What a very cool classic performed with two of the greatest icons ever! Yes, WE STILL MISS YOU JOHN!
We were there that Thanksgiving night in 1974...Sandy, Jerry T, "Louis", "Pete City" and the rest of the guys & gals from Madison, NJ that followed Elton...we were right behind the band stage in the first row...the placed shook like an earthquake hit when John came on stage... awesome, how lucky where we! ...those memories will always be forever.
This was total respect from Lennon to McCartney, I’m so glad they made it up before John was killed. I’ve met Paul, would love to have met John, they loved each other
Hi Jean💐💐💐
As Elton once said without the Beatles almost all of the great rock artists wouldn’t have had a career. The Beatles opened up the world to great music and it’s still with us today. Though I would say that there are no new artists shaking the world in recent years.
I met her when she was 17 and I was 24, in 1986. She is now 54 and I am 61 and I have been in love with her ever since I saw her and shall forever be there for her.
It was a great performance of a good tune. Lennon's cape shows he's a superhero/rock star.
Brilliant song and so well covered! To think PMc was about 17/18 when he wrote it. Amazing.
That was a nicely produced video tribute to Johns first appearance on stage in years, and the last night of his "lost weekend". Yoko was backstage. After the show, they reconciled their differences and John went home.
This being 1974, and technology being what it was, not many shows were video recorded. When they were, it was a big do.
At least the audio was recorded. So, we at least have that to enjoy.
Better if she wouldn't have been there
I added their rehearsal of "I Saw Her Standing There," where John's vocal's are much more present. It's a small collage of photo's from that time. I didn't know this till I found a photo of Yoko, Sean, and Elton on stage that didn't make the cut, but its out there. Enjoy!
Did you have to add the part about him getting back with Yoko. Honestly, it makes me sick.
@@gretchennelson9965 What a shame that John didn't live his life to please you.
Потрясающее зрелище! Уникальное выступление! Браво!
Elton John said that John Lennon got sick for being so nervous that night.
It was good to see john and Elton sing when I saw him there at Madison square garden
Allways Big Elton fan from the Beginning, Dad was a classical fan But when I played Don't let..he allways stood up at the bit & sang ,close the door, he liked his music too.i allways hear him on that song.❤
Yoko Ono was like the girl u first meet at a party and she opens with “I can feel something is missing from ur aura”
😂
i can relate😂
*Elton John Lennon*
This is truly a timeless and priceless experience and performance 🎉🎉2 legendary artist and musicians on the same stage playing music 🎶 🎵 together 🎉🎉. This point in time will never be replicated or duplicated 🎉🎉
Idolos totales! A mis 64 años, no se habla de viejasos, se habla de calidad! De clasico de clasicos! Esto! Lo mejor de lo mejor!
I was there for the Mobile concert in '74. Elton played Lucy in the Sky in Diamonds at that concert over a month before it started getting local airplay. Great memories!
And 5 yrs after this video was put up I still miss & mourn John.... thank u so much for putting this up! I've never seen it before - its' wonderful. And Elton! I love you Elton. Such a voice - & such talent!! Plus I think he's a peaceful man. This video brought tears from me.
This would mark the end of May Pang and John (in pics you can see he arrived backstage with May, and then Yoko arrives)
Hé loved Paul. First thing hè talks about. And I think Paul knew that. And admired John.
This song used to be on the flip side of the Philadelphia Freedom 45 . . . it was my go to on the juke box at the Yorkville, Illinois Pizza Hut back in the day.
I was there that Thanksgiving night working as a usher in the blues seat or nose bleed if your not from NYC and got paid $25 bucks to boot the garden was rocking
I was there also but had seat in the blues -lol
@Kevin Ross Ditto!!
As long as the music survives John and George will never die.
I really missed JOHN LENNON💔 eventhough i was not born at their time... i was 10yrs when i heard tje beatle song til now. GID bless JOHN🙏
Слушаю в сотый раз и не могу остановиться... У, у, у.....
Two legends together. It is amazing.
John was truly a rare individual. He and Ali come to mind as two famous and rich "celebrities" who spoke from their heart and didn't pander to mainstream thinking. As well, they both truly wanted to make the world a better place to live.
Thanks to all the people responsible for RUclips, for making it possible to see, hear and feel incredible talents who are no longer here in the physical world. But they are alive and bringing pleasure and joy still right here!
Wow....q imagem maravilhosa nunca tinha visto Obrigada......❤❤🎵🎵🎶🎹🎙🎸🎼🎵🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
my dad was 21 then when this show happened and he was there at that night. Till today whenever me and my dad talk musical stuffs he remembers this particular show. It was the best show that he ever gone in his whole life.
Mojo Gracias por subirlo.
Excelente Video!
Esa noche hicieron magia.
John y Elton puro talento y magia, de lo mejor de la musica.
Viva the Beatles. !
This world has so many marvelous things... Elton John and John Lennon are so lovely people..
Paul helped with Ballad of John and Yoko in the middle of their turmoil with each other that was a real brotherhood between this band.History is showing that they actually disagreed less than any band around them.they had their differences about music and business,like any marriage.
I love this version
OS MELHORES COMPOSITORES DA MUSICA INTERNACIONAL (JOHN LENNON & ELTON JOHN JUNTOS CANTANDO).
Mas essa música é do Paul McCartney, é de fato uma boa performance.
Good job cobbling this video together. You'd have thought that Elton's people would have had a professional film crew to record this event (but then nobody probably thought Lennon would die so soon). He'll be around for decades and decades. This was just one more concert.
Wow. The last 2 minutes of the video is a great tribute. Thank you for including it.
Thank you...that was a great, nice vedio
Dr Winston O’Boogie as he referred to himself at that time also played and sung backing vocals on Elton’s cover of Lucy in the sky....
For someone who supposedly disliked being a Beatle at the end
didn’t do a bad job of going back to his roots.
Priceless!
All 4 Beatles together...is magic.
Beatles 4ever! 🎸
Never saw this..Love this..I do agree..John and Paul really did love eachother..Fiancee..so sweet of John..Missed by all of us..! Legends ..no doubt
Dear Elton thanks for that lovely chat you had with Sean you was so enthusiastic like a real fan so I say happy birthday John ✌️🎸❤️
ELTON John LENNON!!!
Great !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Belém/Pará/Brazil 💓
DOCTOR ROBERT nós Brasileiros adoramos Elton John
Eu conheci as músicas dos Beatles ouvindo o Cantinho dos Beatles do Edgar Augusto, na rádio Cultura de Belém
@@jrpage10 Claro que o conheço!!! grande Edgar,figuraça!!!
Wow so nostalgic... hard to put words to, miss John..
