About this album

Live In New York City captures John Lennon in a raw, political late-period performance, balancing solo material with Beatles-era classics and rock'n'roll covers. Drawn from his 1972 Madison Square Garden benefit shows, the set places songs like Imagine, Instant Karma! and Give Peace a Chance alongside charged readings of Mother, Come Together and Hound Dog. Released later in 1986, the album documents Lennon backed by a strong band and Yoko Ono at a moment when his public activism and musical identity were tightly intertwined. As a live statement, it remains an essential snapshot of Lennon as performer, protest singer and rock icon.
