Jimmy1104 Posted March 6, 2010 Report 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.
_Laurie_ Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 Wow Jimmy, thanks for sharing that with us..
Jimmy1104 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks MindCrime. You remember me! I checked my history of posts and it looks like I was last here in the spring of 2008. I think I will be hanging around here a bit.
Jimmy1104 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Posted March 7, 2010 Yes Ma'am. Something tells me I better listen to you Edna.
MindCrime Posted March 7, 2010 Report 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.
Lucky Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Welcome back Jimmy (and yes, you'd best listen to edna). What a cool memory!
