40th Anniversary of Lennon's One to One Concert

My 40th anniversary remembrance of John and Yoko's "One to One
Concert" at Madison Square Garden will appear in this month's
Beatlefan Magazine. With permission from the editor, I have posted it

His number one hit, THAT SUMMER....ROFLMAO

Nice research, numb nuts.

The single was not even released until November and was not #1 until
late January of 1973. Even the album it was on was not released until
November, YOU FUCKING JACKASS.

[marcus60s]

I knew the song when I saw him sing it on August 30, 1972...and so did
everyone else in the Garden.

Were we all psychic?

Sure you did.

Ha, ha. Good one, Marcus.

I was thinking about the fact that Stevie Wonder had promised Superstition
to Jeff Beck, but then did it himself, as well, because the song was just
too good. But that suggests that the song was "around" for awhile before
Wonder recorded it.

Bruce thinks chart positions and record releases tell all. He once lied to
me and told me his first exposure to Al Green was from hearing Green's first
hit, Tired of Being Alone, when it was first a hit. If the charts say it was
playing on the radio, it must have been playing on the radio, right?

Hey cock choker. Where do you get off claiming that I "lied" to you
there?

In 1971 I listened almost exclusively to WABC. I was turning 14 that
year in September.

Here's the WABC survey, right around my 14th birthday, where "Tired Of
Being Alone" entered the top 10.

And just where do you think that people became familiar with
"Superstition" months before it was ever released and played on the
radio?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstition_(song)

I say that people heard the song for the first time at the concert,
then a few short months later it was all over the radio, and now 40
years later their mind plays tricks on them and they think that they
were well aware of the song at the time of the concert.

[The Bloomfield Bloviator]

> http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/stevie-wonder/concerts/madison-square-g...

No one is denying that he performed that song at the concert, schmuck.
I'm ridiculing your claim that it was his "number one single from that
summer."

Your "proof" that you heard it was that the charts say it was on the radio
at the time. Right now you know you're lying again, and seeing if you can
pull it off.

You could provide an anecdote about hearing the song, similar to Marcus's
anecdote about hearing Superstition at the concert and thinking he knew it
already.* The fact that you provide no anecdote means it didn't happen.

*Marcus's anecdote is given thickness by the detail he added, that many in
the audience were also familiar with Superstition. (Perhaps the audience
cheered when Superstition started.) If you tried to fake a Tired of Being
Alone anecdote now, I don't think you could fabricate an
"extra-believability" wrinkle like that.

LOL.....maybe marcus is lying about being at that concert.....why
would you take his word for it?

So you're claiming that I did not hear "Tired Of Being Alone" in 1971,
because I have not relayed a specific memory of hearing it on a
certain day?

I still have a notebook somewhere where I wrote down the WABC Survey
every week. They used to play the new survey every Tuesday. Would my
hand written copy of the survey be proof?

[Travis_Trite]

You enjoy seeing if you can bluff your way out of challenges like the one
I'm making here. I haven't seen Marcus do that.

This is all bluffing.

Are you saying, WABC played its countdown (starting at what number, pray
tell?) on Tuesday nights, and that you listened, all Tuesday night, and
wrote down the songs, as they were played, week after week? Why not just get
the station's published weekly playlist from your local record store, or
whatever? This bluff, weakens, rather than strengthens, your claim.

If you'd been so stupid as to write down, when you could have picked up, the
station's published countdown, it might be believable that you heard the
song. But when we discussed this before, you claimed that the songs on a
station's countdown were also played, during the week, on the station. I
said, though the station might have had a countdown of 30, only songs 1-12,
or 1-8, or 1-15 would have actually been played during the week. You denied
there was a difference between the station's stated countdown and what they
actually played. That ignorance on your part indicated to me that you
*hadn't* been thinking about the countdown in the careful way implied by
your having written down the countdown, as you're claiming here.

At this point, rather than fighting your way through the thicket of
arguments implied in the two paras above, it would be easier for you to just
cough up the anecdote. However, since you didn't hear the song, you have no
anecdote to cough up.

[The Bloomfield Bloviator]

marcus probably was not at the concert at all, but he saw the movie...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446694/

...like the rest of us. By then "Superstition" was a huge record, and
may have been #1 depending upon how soon he saw the movie. The movie
was released in mid-December 1972.

He could laso have been at the concert, and THEN saw the movie a few
times over the years, and of course as he sees the movie, he then
knows "Superstition" well, as it was a huge hit. His "memory" of the
concert, at this point 40 years later, may come more from the movie
than the actual concert, whether he was there or not.

Doesn't change the main point, that there's a glaring error in his
article saying that "Superstition" was a number one single in the
summer of 1972.

A - It was fun to listen to it and write the songs down as you heard
them. Sometimes I even recorded the whole survey on a little cassette
recorder.

B - I never aaw a printed WABC survey until years later. The stores I
went to in 1971 (Grand Way, Packard Babmbersgers_ did not have them. I
wasn't exactly driving yet in 1971 nwhen I was 14. I only went to a
couple stores that I could walk to.

I did not even know that they had a printed copy of their survey at
that time.

And they were.

They only counted down the top 15 or so on Tuesdays when the new
survey came out. Those songs were all played during the week, but the
were never played in order like that. I was interested in the new
survey every week.

Do you have an anecdote for every songs that you ever heard and became
familiar with? I certainly don't. I don't have an anecdote for even
5% of them.

So, according to you, I never heard "Tired Of Being Alone" in 1971.

Do you think that I heard "Let's Stay Together" at the start of 1972,
when it was a number one national hit on the pop chart? I have no
anecdote about hearing it.

It only reached #2 on WABC.

Did I also not hear this song then, according to you?

I only listened to the countdowns on my stations occasionally, and
occasionally looked at my stations' published lists. That's why it's so
clear to me that songs between 15 and 30 on my stations' countdowns
(countdown was usually Sunday eve; Tuesday seems a little strange) didn't
play during the daytime hours of the week.

Really songs 11 - 15 seldom played, if at all. I don't believe my stations
would have been that different from yours. And since your mind seizes on the
minutia of data like this, your claim that the songs were played equally
seems like a lie, a bluff. You could say, the lower numbers were played less
frequently, but you know that would be a dangerous admission, making Tired
of Being Alone *less* likely to have been heard, at the time, by you.

Roughly, I do. Doesn't have to be much of an anecdote. For example, could
be, "when Let's Stay Together was such a big hit, I put it together that it
was by the same artist who'd done Tired of Being Alone, which I hadn't made
much note of before."

But I knew many songs that were on the charts long before I started
listening to the radio, so I must have heard them *after* their initial
chart run. This is the part of your story I'm disbelieving. If you don't
have specific ordering-like memories, you might have heard Tired of Being
Alone after Let's Stay Together.

Here are some from your Let's Stay Together chart that were chart hits from
before I listened to the radio. For me to have known them, they would have
been played as some form of "legacy" play. I wouldn't, and couldn't, make a
claim about when I first heard them.

I would like to see Marcus explain the Superstition thing.

And kudos to Mr. Bloviator for a very good catch.

Interesting that you care about HIS error, but that you don't care
when your error on calling "All Summer Long" a single is pointed out.
Here you analyze the evidence and come to a proper conclusion, but
there you claim it's just anal retentiveness.

Sound like sour grapes to me.

Why can't you just admit your careless error and thank me for the
correction, like a mature journalist would do. When I send Tris McCall
emails correcting mistakes in his column, that's what he
does.....thanks me for the correction, and changes it in the online
version of the column. He's not an immature twat like you, who instead
of being thankful that someone is catching an error, has to "shoot the
messenger."

I had heard Wonder's "Superstition" before hearing him sing it at the
MSQ.

My only error was confusing "Higher Ground" with "Superstition" in
terms of being on the charts before the concert.

But a rock critic naming an album track as a single is not?

We agree on that. If they are not even chceking on his "summer" claim

What makes this not a "real" magazine, as opposed to some of the mags

I don't know, the one you found can be seen as a typo, a few letters
missing from a word. He may have been typing the word and looked away
for a second and it seemed like it was done when he looked back. To
me, the "Superstition" thing is far worse. Rearranging dates like that
changes history and clearly shows his lack of research and also calls
into question his credibility of the entire remembrance of the
concert, if he was even really there. Spelling Institutionalized wrong
doesn't change anything. If he said it instead of writing it, it would
just an amusing gaffe.

In an earlier post I said "Higher Ground", I meant "Keep On Running"

So, you're anally retentive enough to rewrite this entire thing, but
not to care about naming album tracks as singles?

You're splitting hairs here with some of these comments much more than
I ever did. I get it though, it's marcus's (cough, cough) work, so you
want to pick it apart as much as possible....LOL

I'm not doubting your memory. Just curious. Do you think you'd maybe seen
him do it on tv or some other way like that? The release date of the single
seems to have been October.

Higher Ground is even after that. I think of them just in terms of the albs,
but Higher Ground is on the next alb Innervisions

I suppose it's possible, or I maybe I saw a snippet of film(on TV)
from the Rolling Stones tour that was going on that summer with Stevie
as the opening act...I think he did it there too.

All I know is that I, and my two concert companions, recognized the
song. We had heard before, as did everyone sitting around me.

I did a correction earlier in another post where i explained that I
meant "Keep On Running", not "Higher Ground".

One must remember that the purpose of my article was the major part of
the concert, which was John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Elephant's Memory.
My memories of every song by him are much stronger, and detailed.
Wonder, Flack, and Sha Na Na were on briefly and only did about 3
songs each.

You did not hear shit. The record was not released until the album
came out on Oct. 27, and the single a week later. Since you already
cliamed that this was the first time that you had ever seen Wonder
live, where exactly do you claim to have heard a song that was not on
a record yet?

ROFLMAO

You're a fucking moron. "Higher Ground" wasn't released until 10
months AFTER "Superstition."

Have you ever thought of reseraching something before you make an
absurd claim like this? It's pretty easy in the internet age.

"Higher Ground" wasn't released at all until August of 1973 on the
"Innervisions" album and on a single. Both were released in early
August of 1973.

Thank you. I'm satisfied. The clavinet intro to Superstition is instantly
recognizable. How many times would you have (and others in the audience)
needed to hear it to recognize it?

Reminds me of ANOTHER inane, chart-driven argument I had with Bloviator,
where he said Isley Brothers Shout was obscure, not widely known before
being resurrected in 1978's Animal House movie. Because Shout hadn't charted
well in its original chart run his robot-mind can see no path for it to have
become a "known" song before Animal House, apparently, put it back on the
charts.

Opposite.

The fact that they only did three songs each should make your memories
of those songs STRONGER than your memories of Lennon's songs, because
there are way fewer songs to remember from the other acts.

How about just admitting that you were not all that interested in the
oter acts, and THAT'S why your memories of their performances is not
strong.

I was interested in all the performers, but obviously had more

You know way more about this stuff than I do, but radio stations would never
have advance copies of singles to play, in advance of release dates?

Summer is a big time for singles with urban appeal, like Superstition would
have had.

Keep On Running?

That was a bomb. Barely even cracked the top 100, and it did so a
month AFTER that concert. It was NOT on the charts in August of 1972.

The Rolling Stones played four concerts in a row over three days in

This from Wikipedia about the Stones 1972 tour:

"Opening for the tour's shows was Stevie Wonder; this placement, along
with his hard-edged hit of the time "Superstition" (released October

This placement

ALONG with "Superstition" (released October 1972),

So, the fact that he appeared with the Stones on their tour

AND

The fact that he had a "harf edged" hit late in the year.

It says nothing about him performing that song on the tour months
before its release.

[The Bloomfield Bloviator]

Why?

Is Yoko Ono a better artist than Stevie Wonder?

John Lennon solo is not even in Wonder's league.

[The Bloomfield Bloviator]

There's some set lists out there that claim that Stevie did
"Superstition" on the Stones tour in June, but they also claim he did
a cover of Billy Paul's "Me And Mrs. Jones" in June, and that record
was not even released untl October of 1972, so clearly the setlist is
just being made up by some schmuck like you who has a shit memory.

They also list "Killing Me Softly" in Stevie's June 1972 setlist.
Doubtful he would have done that song until 1973 when the Roberta
Flack version was released and became a huge hit.

We just have a case of guys fucking up memories form 40 years ago and
confusing them with other shows from 38 or 29 years ago.

Okay, but whether it reads INSTITUTIONAL PATIENTS or INSTITUTIONALIZED
PERSONS , everybody who reads it knows what either phrase implies.
There's no confusion of the facts about what the act did, just in what
the proper name of the act is.

With the Stevie Wonder mistake the reader will actually think that
"Superstition" was a number one single that summer. To me, that's a
much worse error.

What would be worse? Mistakenly calling the CCR album Cosmic
Factories, or claiming that it was number one in the summer of 1969?

Everybody knows which album the person is talking about with the
incorrect name, but some people will now think that it was popular in
the summer of 1969, instead of 1970.

The first mistake is just careless ignorance, the second is actually
meaningful to changing history.

I didn't lose the initial one, I won it. A song that is only the 10th
most performed song by that artist cannot possible be confirmed as the
greatest pop song ever. And someone liking "H&V" better than "God Only
Knows" in 2012 is not at all unusual. Perhaps more than 50% of people
will like "GOK" better, but nowhere near the majority required for
someone to be shocked at it. It's probably like 65-35, or something
like that. Me and Travis both like "H&V" better.

Despite being released already, "God Only Knows" did not make either
"Best Of" or "Best of Volume 2," and finally got on to "Best of Volume
3" in the fall of 1968.

Neither song was on "Endless Summer" or "Spirit Of America."

So by 1975 "God Only Knows" was not considered important enough to
make either of two double albums of the band's greatest hits.

I guess this means I'm gonna now have to scour all your writings to
find other mistakes you made in more significant writings. Will you at
least admit your errors and thank me for the corrections if I take the
time to find them?

Granted, but the "dumb" mistake is not necessarily the "more
significant" mistake.

There's lots of people around who mess up words harmlessly, but
changing the historical order of dates is much worse IMO.

What's worse, messing up name like Roberto Clemente and referring to
him as "Umberto Clemente" or doing what Cousin Brucie did a few years
ago and asking his son, "So how's dad," when his dad had been dead for
over 30 years already?

If you did the right thing in the first place, and thanked me for the
correction instead of trying to make it seem like I'm at fault for
caring about the mistake, rather than you being at fault for making
the mistake, I wouldn't have to stoop to this.

They were likely saving a few big hits for the "Good Vibrations-Best
Of The Beach Boys" album from later in 1975. Both "God" and "Heroes"
are on that one.

A few years ago, when I was perhaps 42, I swore that a certain record
I liked from 1982 had gone top ten. However, when I looked it up in a
Whitburn book, I found that it never got any higher than #18.

If I could have such a mistaken memory of something from 25 or so
years before, it's entirely possible (even likely) than Marc's memory
is even more muddled than mine. And understandably so.

I was saying they needed to save some Top 40 hits to help sell that
album, but maybe Capitol didn't own some of the later masters.

"Spirit Of America" contained some post 1965 material, including
"Break Away." There were apparently some contractual situations with
certain songs, I guess.
