r/JohnLennon

So my spouse is related to someone famous in the rock ‘n’ roll industry’s spouse. She let us clean out her garage and told us we can keep anything we found in there. I found this old reel it says “John Lennon one to one Madison square garden aug 1972” does anyone know what something like this would be worth? I’ve reached out to auction sites, but no one is really giving me any answers. I don’t have anything to play it on, but I took it somewhere and they said that there is audio and video on it. I know it’s been in this garage since the 70s, so I’m not sure it’s ever been released or seen by the public. Any Beatles fans or music fanatics or even if anyone knows about these types of tapes, any advise or insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Happy shared birthday to John & Sean! Oh and cool fact for today.. Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland will be lit at 8 PM UTC for its 20th annual ceremony to honor John’s birthday

were either Paul, George or Ringo asked what they thought of Double Fantasy by the press at any point in the 3 weeks following it's release before john died?

have any of them spoken about it lately? (I saw the video of Paul crying listening to beautiful boy but did any of them actually speak about the album itself?)

This song is infamous for obvious reasons but man, this song is kind of amazing. The instrumental is absolutely mind blowing. It sounds so mean and angry. The lyrics in the chorus is obviously outdated and distracting but the overall message is pretty great. I think if the song didn’t have the n word in it, it would be seen as easily one of John’s best songs.

… With a picture of himself and Paul. I find this very touching, especially as so many fans are so focused on the short period of bad blood after the breakup and seem to want that do be the full story. He has a great picture of himself with his best friend on display as he creates.

Hope you like it 👓

Just wanted to share my Beatles cartoon John Lennon figure on his birthday (two photos). I randomly came across the Beatles cartoon on TV when I was a kid in the 80s. My mother couldn't understand where I'd picked up, "I'm so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me." 😅

From my November 2000 TV Guide, an article about the biopic In His Life: The John Lennon Story. (2 photos)

I noticed it is a really rare demo, it is not even in YouTube.

Can anyone share a FLAC or WAV file of this song, I have the MP3 but it surely can be better.

hehehe shrimp lennon
