MCP-011Salute To Sir Lew Grade/images/dvd/John Lennon/MCP/MCP-011 - Salute To Sir Lew Grade.jpgOn 18 April, 1975, John Lennon made his last public appearance on the
ATV/ITC TV special Salute to Sir Lew Grade. The television special was
recorded in The Grand Ballroom of the New York Hilton Hotel. The event
was a star-studded event to celebrate the career of Sir Lew Grade. John's
appearance at this event, in which he performed live versions of Slippin'
and Slidin', Stand By Me and Imagine, was part of a settlement arising
from a publishing dispute over material written by John and Yoko.

John's bandmates, known as "+"Etc."+", were costumed in two-faced masks during
the performance. The "+"two-faced"+" stunt, and the line "+"... don't want to be
your fool no more"+" (from "+"Slippin' and Slidin"+") were seen as digs at Grade,
who Lennon and McCartney had been in conflict with due to his previous
control of The Beatles publishing concerns. Dick James had sold the
publishing to Grade from under the group in 1969. During "+"Imagine"+" Lennon
interjects the line "+"... and no immigration too..."+", a reference to his
then-unresolved battle to remain in the United States.

Sir Lew later became Lord Grade. He passed away at 91 on December 13, 1998.

MCP-046Ten For Two - John Sinclair Freedom Rally/images/dvd/John Lennon/MCP/MCP-046 - Ten For Two - John Sinclair Freedom Rally.jpgJohn Sinclair (born October 2,1941 in Flint, Michigan), was a Detroit poet,
one-time manager of the band MC5, and leader of the White Panther Party
from November 1968 to July 1969. He was jailed in 1969 after selling two
joints of marijuana to undercover narcotics officers. His case received
international attention when on December 10,1971, John Lennon and Yoko Ono
headlined the "+"Free John Now Rally"+" in front of 15-20,000 people at Crisler
Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Lennon performed the song, "+"John Sinclair,"+"
calling on the authorities to "+"Let him be, set him free, Let him be like
you and me."+"
Three days after the concert, the Michigan Supreme Court released Sinclair,
and later over-turned his conviction.

Ten For Two and Concert For Bangladesh occurred only about four months
apart but what a tremendous difference.
The Ten For Two features John Lennon at his most polemic. The speakers in
the rally, Father James Groppi, Bobby Seale and Jerry Rubin, are quite
extreme and make some inflammatory statements (Groppi comparing Nixon to
Hitler is a bit much to take). The music is a mixed bag too. It's obvious
Allan Gingsberg can't sing, and I'm not sure about some of the minor acts
like The Up either. A young Bob Segar plays a great version of "+"Carol"+" and
there is a rare performance by Phil Ochs (several years before his suicide).
The whole interest in the film is John Lennon of course, and his set
consists of four songs (three really with one Yoko song). He sounds very
raw and unrehearsed, even reading the lyrics off of a music stand. But his
charisma comes through very strong, being able to hold the entire arena by
just his very presence.

Disc 2

1. WABC-TV New York Live Broadcast from the Central Park Vigil,
December 14, 1980.
Includes interviews with Sid Berstein, Cousin Brucie & Norm N. Nite.
I had gone to the vigil that morning so I set the timer on my VCR.
The tape has not held up very well, and I really do not like to watch
anything having to do with John's death, but looking back now, the vigil
was an event in Lennon history worth immortalizing on DVD.

2. Silence still resonates for writer
(from the Arizona Republic newspaper, Dec. 4, 2005)
NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 1980 - More than 100,000 people fell silent for
10 minutes at the vigil for John Lennon six days after he was slain in
front of his home.
New York was cold and dreary. The streets were strangely quiet; the whole
city was in mourning.
At 2 p.m., as Central Park settled into silence, one man yelled, "+"We have
to stop the madness of handguns, people!"+" Twenty-five years after two
friends and I drove seven hours from Ohio to New York to channel our
grief over Lennon's Dec. 8 death, the emotions remain. For 16 years, we
had watched Lennon mature from a smart-alecky 24-year-old on the Beatles'
1964 U.S. tour to a mustache-wearing, pot-smoking member of Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967 to a 40-year-old parent who was "+"starting
over"+" in the music business.After hearing that his widow, Yoko Ono, had
called for 10 minutes of silence that Sunday "+"to pray for John's soul...
wherever you are,"+" there was no doubt we'd make the pilgrimage.
On this December weekend, the sidewalk in front of the Dakota, the luxury
complex where Mark David Chapman had gunned down Lennon, was filled with
scores of quiet, sobbing people. Stunned couples embraced, strangers
shared their feelings. Flowers, candles, notes and photos of Lennon were
everywhere.
Before the vigil in Central Park, Lennon's music was playing. Songs from
his just released Double Fantasy album reminded everyone that he was
poised for yet another musical phase. A large photograph of him wearing
his "+"New York City"+" T-shirt was set up on the stage of the band shell.
People of all ages had gathered, a tribute to the universal appeal of
the Beatles and Lennon.
No one said much as we slowly found a spot beneath a large tree that had
shed its leaves for winter. Everyone was bundled against the cold. People
stared at the ground, still in shock. When the Beatles anthem All You
Need Is Love played, we managed half-smiles and sang along. Many flashed
peace signs.
Then it was time for silence. TV news helicopters provided the only
interruption.
After 10 minutes, which seemed more like half an hour, the opening piano
chords of Imagine began and we started crying.
My friends and I grieved for Lennon, and for the first chink in the armor
of our "+"forever-young"+" generation. The Beatles - and the baby boomers -
were mortal after all.		2xDVD5Proshot1

Most of this is from the same copy used on MCP-026, however that version

compositions (Ballad Of John & Yoko, Help!) and overdubbed non-Lennon/
McCartney songs (Dizzy Miss Lizzie, Ain't She Sweet), as well as removing
some of the phone conversation from the final scene. This version takes
that version but edits in the first song from another copy I had on VHS,
and then the 2nd song is "+"lifted"+" from FAB's version.

Frederic ("+"Fred"+") Seaman, (born October 10, 1953) is the former personal
assistant to John Lennon and Yoko Ono, during the former Beatle's final
years, when Lennon and Ono lived in The Dakota Apartments in New York City.
After Lennon's assassination on December 8, 1980, Seaman, by his own
admission, took several items from the Dakota apartments, including stereo
equipment and John Lennon's personal diaries. After his arrest, Seaman
insisted that John had specifically instructed him to give the diaries -
handwritten and assumed to be intensely private - to his eldest son Julian
Lennon in the event of his death. In 1983, Frederic Seaman was convicted
of stealing the diaries, which had by then been returned to Yoko Ono, and
sentenced to five years' probation. In 2002, Seaman also lost a long and
contentious court battle against Yoko Ono for copyright control of more than
300 unique photos he took with a camera the Lennon's owned during his employ		DVD5Proshot1
