Live At The Fillmore East, June 5, 1971
Lennon's Mix & Zappa's Mix, Side By Side
RE-UPPED It stands as John Lennon's most daring live performance, the night he and Yoko Ono stepped onstage with Frank Zappa's Mothers during the final days of the Fillmore East. Lennon released the tapes on Sometime in New York City in 1972. Zappa re-edited the material 20 years later for his own Playground Psychotics. Both mixes differ and have their own strengths. Either version of Lennon & The Mothers' hair-raising opening cover, the Cavern Club-era "Well (Baby Please Don't Go)," can be considered one of John Lennon's finest live recordings (acting as a reminder of how good Lennon could be with a great band behind him). Yoko detractors routinely dismiss this entire show because of her equal presence. Instead... it might be her shining hour, marked by her effective timing, fearless vocal punctuation and 2-ton balls. It would be decades before Sonic Youth and Yamatsuka Eye would make this show's raw guitar feedback and genre-shattering vocals appear cool, though... this history witnessing crowd seemed to get it OK.
