Концерт для Бангладеш. Вскрытие показало - 2.

* The photographs show Lennon smiling and joking around and Yoko Ono engaged in conversation with a frosty looking Harrison.

The late Harrison asked all his former bandmates to perform and it would have been the first time the group would have appeared on stage together in the U.S. since 1966.

Drummer Ringo Starr and Lennon agreed but McCartney refused due to a rift over the legal problems the Beatles split had caused.

But just days before the Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden in New York Harrison and Lennon's friendship waned because of a row over Yoko Ono performing on the bill with Lennon.

Lennon, who was shot dead in New York by deranged fan Mark Chapman in 1980, accepted Harrison’s demand that Yoko Ono was not allowed to perform.

But Lennon and Ono had an argument days before the gig and Lennon left New York so he did not appear on stage.

It is believed the photographs were taken during rehearsals for the concert, which featured an all-star line-up including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Badfinger.

Участие Джона в концерте было бы конечно круто, а если б еще и Пол подъехал...

Хорошо, что не состоялось. Такие выступления репетировать надо, чудес не бывает.

>Lennon, who was shot dead in New York by deranged fan Mark Chapman in 1980,

Дурацкое предложение... "Леннон, которого застрелили в Нью-Йорке... согласился с требованием Харрисона о неучастии в концерте Йоко Оно". Бредятина.

А чего репетировать? Каждый свои номера бы и исполнил. Только программу выступления согласовать. И какое оно такое? Всё равно деньги налево утекли, благое намерение осуществить толком не удалось. Вот чем надо было заниматься серьезнее.

Так, кстати, кто в курсе - куда делись деньги от концерта?
Это ж не Харрисона косяк.
