On August 30, 1972, John Lennon, at the request of his friend journalist Geraldo Rivera, headlined 2 charity concerts to benefit the Willowbrook Home, a facility for learning disabled children. The event, held at Madison Square Garden was billed as “One To One”, and also featured Sha Na Na, Roberta Flack, and Stevie Wonder, New York Mayor John Lindsay declared the date, "One To One Day." Both concerts were filmed and recorded, with parts of the evening show broadcast on ABC Television while highlights from the afternoon set eventually were released on the 1986 album, Live In New York City. The shows, unfortunately, would be Lennon’s last full-length concerts following the breakup of The Beatles and his death in 1980. (He did, of course, sit in with Elton John for a few songs at a concert in 1974.). About a week prior to the shows, Lennon, wife Yoko, and his backing band, Elephant’s Memory, rehearsed for the One to One shows at SIR Studios in New York. This soundboard recording captures those sessions, on August 21 and 22, 1972, 4 decades ago yesterday and today. Download this one to hear Lennon perform a host of classics that influenced his music, such as Elvis’s Hound Dog and Buddy Holly’s Not Fade Away, as well as a haunting take on the Beatle classic, Come Together.

@Clarior - while I'm glad you are so interested in the music posted here, please see pur policy on re-posts in the sidebar. Asking for 4 or 5 shows all at once is soemthng I simply can't handle as I'm dealing with re-post requests from multiple people simultaneosly, plus posting new stuff, plus living life. I re-posted this one for you - please spread the rest of your requests out over a few weeks time and eventually I'l be able to get to them all.
