John said he'd do a live appearance with Elton if the song went to #1. Which he did, at Madison Square Garden, in NYC. I think he even sang "I Saw Her Standing There," a Paul song. Turned out to be John's last live performance.馃槩

@graphite a bunch of people I knew were there. I can't imagine what that was like.

Interesting, thanks Gusman 馃憤
On a personal note, since a young age I have always liked the Beatles being exposed to them when I was about 7 . Lennon never appealed to me despite his great music. A while back I heard a very detailed podcast series on the Beatles and since then my admiration to Paul McCartney has also dropped.

@Ghostinthemachine John did what he wanted without caring about anyone else besides himself and Yoko.
Paul was a control freak.
That doesn't belittle their musical talents and genius or the Beatles' enormous influence on modern music
