IMAGINE: JOHN LENNON 75TH BIRTHDAY CONCERT
AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET
The recent televised Frank Sinatra tribute concert, celebrating what would have been his 100th birthday, was a disappointment musically and emotionally. This event, taped Dec. 5 at Madison Square Garden, starts with John Fogerty singing “Give Peace a Chance” and “In My Life,” and includes Sheryl Crow doing “A Hard Day’s Night,” The Roots doing “Mother,” Willie Nelson doing a solo “Imagine,” and lots more. Yoko Ono is there live, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on video, and Lauren Rauffer, one of my Rowan University students, assisting somewhere in the background.
