John Lennon: The Roots of Rock 'N' Roll
[...]
SURPRISE, SURPRISE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One night, John got quite a surprise when Elton John dropped by the sessions. Tony King of Apple Records had introduced the two giants of the music industry during the Spector sessions and Elton later participated on both girl private Cats and Goodnight Vienna. In New York, he ended up singing and playing piano on the up-tempo Whatever Gets You Through The Night. (John returned the favor by singing back-up and playing rhythm guitar on the A-side of Elton's next single, a cover version of the Beatles' Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and by playing guitar on the B-side, One Day (At A Time), a Lennon song off of Mind Games.)

Eyewitness to History: Tony King's 60s"Legendary music publicist Tony King shares his memories of the 1960s, when he worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, Phil Spector and others.
A personal look at this sensational decade, Tony was at the centre of the Swinging 60s in London, and brings it to life with his stories. There are stories of iconic musicians but there are also memories of the everyday, of paying £2 a week to rent a flat in Fulham, having to sneak into Vidal Sassoon after dark to have his hair cut by a women's stylist, and how difficult it was to go to the cinema with Brenda Lee. He also remembers the impact fashion and drugs had on the world at large.

Thank you all for clearing up the rumor. But I think this time John got his date wrong. He didn't return to the Dakota until the 1st week of February.
Elton did not arrange for the tickets although I wouldn't be surprised if his office took care of our request. John and I asked Tony King (Gen. Mgr. for Apple) to make sure Yoko had tickets because she wanted them after WE TOLD her of John's upcoming appearance. She even mentioned to Tony King where she wanted to sit in the audience. Also, John & Elton were each given a single flower corsage before the show by Yoko. In fact, in some photos you can see it on John. My point is the only people surprised at John's appearance was the audience.
Food for thought.....If John & Yoko got back together after the Elton Show then how is it possible that John & I went to Orlando (DisneyWorld) with Julian for Xmas of 1974. I was also with John when "Fame" was created in January 1975. My book does give the chronological order of our life and it was NEVER challenged or disputed.
I think enough has been said of this matter.
