John Lennon

On November 28, 1974, John Lennon made a notable appearance at Madison Square Garden during an Elton John concert, performing 'Whatever Gets You Thru The Night.' This collaboration came at an interesting time in Lennon's career; it was shortly after the release of his album 'Walls and Bridges' in September 1974, which showcased his deep introspection following the Beatles' breakup. The song itself became significant as it marked Lennon's last live performance until his tragic death in 1980. This surprise appearance happened after a wager between Lennon and Elton, where Elton bet that 'Whatever Gets You Thru The Night' would be a number one hit. Not only did it resonate well with audiences, but it also demonstrated the enduring friendship between these two musical icons, highlighting a special moment in their creative journeys.
