John Lennon

In 1974, just before the iconic live recording at Madison Square Garden, John Lennon released his album 'Walls and Bridges'. This was a pivotal time in his career, following a hiatus from live performances after the Beatles disbanded. The collaboration with Elton John for 'Whatever Gets You Thru The Night' was particularly noteworthy; not only did it become a hit, but it also marked Lennon's return to the stage, giving fans a memorable and emotional experience. Interestingly, this performance was actually part of a bet with Elton John – if the song hit number one, Lennon would join him on stage. It did, and the concert became a historic moment, symbolizing not only Lennon's resurgence but a blending of two musical powerhouses right in the heart of New York City.
