Title: John Lennon Live In NYC
Post by: Wayne L. on March 23, 2004, 05:16:43 PM: I think the posthumous live album John Lennon Live In NYC released in 86 is mostly mediocre which doesn't represent John at his finest as a solo artist since it's kind of a ragged live performance with Elephant's Memory even though there are few highlights like Come Together, New York City, Hound Dog & Well Well Well which is why Live Peace In Toronto is a helluva lot better, excluding Yoko's part, along with the live track Baby Please Don't Go(Well) with Frank Zappa on Sometime In NYC.
