I’m sure he didn’t think this was his last concert

November 28, 1974
John Lennon makes his last-ever concert appearance when he joinsElton John on stage at Madison Square Garden, reciprocating forElton’s appearance on Whatever Gets You Thru The Night and making good on a bet he lost: Elton wagered that Whatever Gets You Thru The Night would hit #1 in the US, and when it did, Lennon owed the appearance.

The pair perform that song and also do The BeatlesI Saw Her Standing There and Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds that evening.
