40 years ago, on Thursday 30 August 1972, John Lennon performed two sessions at Madison Square Garden.
It was a live benefit show for the pupils of Willowbrook School in New York City. This school was the center of a major controversy when a Geraldo Rivera report on ABC TV documented the physical and sexual abuse of children with physical disabilities.
The first session started at 2:00 pm and the setlist was:
- Power To The People,
- New York City,
- It's So Hard,
- Move On Fast,
- Woman Is The Nigger Of The World,
- Sisters, O Sisters,
- Well Well Well,
- Born In A Prison,
- Instant Karma,
- Mother,
- We're All Water,
- Come Together,
- Imagine,
- Open Your Box,
- Cold Turkey,
- Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow),
- Hound Dog.
In the evening the setlist was changed, omitting many Yoko Ono songs:
- Power To The People,
- New York City,
- It's So Hard,
- Woman Is The Nigger Of The World,
- Sisters, O Sisters,
- Well Well Well,
- Instant Karma, Mother,
- We're All Water,
- Come Together,
- Imagine,
- Cold Turkey,
- Hound Dog,
- Give Peace A Chance.
Tickets cost $5, $7,50 and $10
