OTD in 1975, John Lennon's Final Public Performance Makes TV Debut

Once John Lennon left The Beatles, his solo performances were few and far between, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

Lennon appeared on the made-for-television special A Salute to Sir Lew Grade: The Master Showman at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. And, sadly, this was what would become his final public, on-stage performance. While the concert actually occurred on April 18, 1975, it aired stateside two months later on June 13.

Below, watch his performances of “Slippin' And Slidin'” and “Imagine.”
