Bootleg #5069

Here's another interesting and somewhat obscure JOHN LENNON track. As far as I can tell, its the only available recording from the rehearsals with ELTON JOHN prior to Lennon's 3-song performance with Elton at Elton's Thanksgiving 1974 show at Madison Square Garden.



Lennon, of course, would come up on stage to play "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" (his current hit), "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" (Elton's new single), and "I Saw Her Standing There".

This is a rehearsal of "I Saw Her Standing There", introduced by Lennon as "bootleg number five-thousand-sixty-nine". The actual MSG performance of the three songs (and the rest of Elton's great show) is available on Elton's expanded "Here and There" CD.
