Today in rock history, in 1975, John Lennon makes what would prove to be his last TV appearance, performing "Imagine" and a cover of Little Richard's "Slippin' And Slidin'" on the ABC special A Salute To Sir Lew Grade. Ok, I’ve never seen this one before, and, well, make of it what you will…but, geez, this one is weirdsville for sure. Thanks to http://oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/june13.htm for the info, and keep on rockin’!

Amazing! And I can't get my mind around this: "Both US and UK versions of the show cut 'Stand By Me' from John's three-track live performance which will turn out to be John's last.
John's cover of Stand By Me is in my Top 5 JL songs of all time and they CUT it?? I would kill to see that -- the tape must exist somewhere ...
