Elephant's Memory are billed as Plastic Ono Elephants Memory for the occasion.
It's all pretty sloppy, but essential, if you know what I mean.
John sounds nervous or apologetic, the band are not in sparkling form (as they could be in the studio), Yoko takes a back seat...but it's still mesmerizing. It's John and Yoko's last concert together so there's an added poignancy.
John remains the centre of my attention throughout the concert. These days you can see the whole concert on youtube but back in 1972 only the people at the concert could experience the splendor of John Lennon live.
It's also good to finally have an official version of the concert, rather than the many bootleg versions out there. Although having a full version with other acts that appeared at Madison Square Garden with the Lennons would be nice.
Where do they all belong? As a final concert - it's historic.
