John Lennon Live in Madison Square Garden 1972

Early in August 1972, John Lennon had the idea to perform a live benefit for the pupils of Willowbrook School in New York City, a state-run institute for children with mental disabilities. Following three days of rehearsals, two concerts took place on this day at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York City. They were the last full-scale performances given by Lennon in public.
