Just found this on YouTube: John Lennon's very last appearance at Madison Square Garden, 1977, with Mick Jagger, Yoko & Sean. Notice how quickly Jagger gets out of camera range, guess he didn't want to be seen as 'uncool'.

How bizarre/amazing would that be to see both John and Mick sitting at the circus ?

I heard Ricky Nelson's "Garden Party" yesterday, which mentions Yoko and her Walrus attending Nelson's concert at Madison Square in 1971. Chuck Berry, Little Richard and other greats were on the bill, which would have been a huge draw for John.
I'd never actually seen any other references to John's attendance at the show, so I googled away and found this from an old "Straight Dop" column:
"Garden Party" was pounced on by the pundits and dissected unmercifully. Some clues were obvious. For instance, "Yoko brought her walrus"--John Lennon and Yoko Ono were at the concert. Lennon, of course, was responsible for the Beatles song "I Am The Walrus."
The lyric you ask about, "Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise," is more difficult to interpret, but I finally found it for you. ""Mr Hughes" isn't Howard Hughes, as most people think, but refers to George Harrison, the ex-Beatle. Rick Nelson was good friends and next-door neighbor to Harrison, and was also a good friend of Bob Dylan. "Mr. Hughes" was the alias Harrison used while traveling, and "hid in Dylan's shoes" apparently refers to an album of Bob Dylan covers Harrison was planning that never came to fruition. "Wearing his disguise" is more obscure, but presumably had something to do with Harrison's habit of traveling incognito.
News to me...anyone heard that before?
