Jimmy1104 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2010 It was Nov. 28, 1974...Thanksgiving night. I was fortunate to have tickets to the Elton John concert at the Garden that evening. In the middle of the show he introduced on stage John Lennon. As I have heard many times, this was John's last concert appearance. When Lennon came onstage he received a standing ovation and applause the seemed like it lasted forever. He and Elton did three songs that night, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Whatever Gets You Through The Night and I Saw Her Standing There. I have been to about 20 EJ concerts over the years but none was better than that evening for obvious reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wyld Card 5 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 I'm watching a documentary on his death right now. They're interviewing the doctors that worked on him and the cops that questioned and arrested Chapman. It's really intriguing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
