The Soulpy board posted this pristine video of John Lennon at the 1975 Grammy Awards. Great quality and John looks like he's having fun.

Interesting note. May Pang said in her book that Paul Simon was the only person she ever saw stand up to John Lennon. Most people, when Lennon was abusing them or acting crazed, just took it and went along with it. One night John and Harry happened to be in a recording studio along with Simon & Garfunkle, and Lennon was mercilessly abusing Simon with his sharp tongue, calling him a "twerp" among other things. Lennon justified his behavior on the grounds that he was John Lennon. To which Simon responded "Well I'm Paul Simon!" and stormed off. Or something like that (been 20 years since I read the book, but thats how I remember the anecdote). Course you can bet John and Harry were plenty drunk and stoned at the time.

for some reason John looks kind of thin and pail in this footage...
