ANTONY ROTUNNO
About this episode

Chris Purcell and I complete our 2-part look at John Lennon's live career and also some of the films and video clips surrounding his performances This part takes us from 1966 to 1975 as we look at such events as the Our World broadcast, Hey Jude & Revolution on the David Frost show, the rooftop gig and John's two most high-profile and substantial solo gigs, namely Toronto in 1969 and Madison Square Garden in 1972. There are other performances mentioned, along with some inevitable post-1980 speculation and audio clips in all the right places...

Enjoy!
