Watch Spoon, Brandon Flowers, & Chris Stapleton Cover John Lennon At 75th Birthday Concert In NYC
John Lennon would have turned 75 in October, and last night, an all-star lineup of musicians converged on Madison Square Garden to pay tribute in Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert. Introduced by emcee Kevin Bacon, Spoon took the stage to cover the Beatles’ “Hey Bulldog” — pretty much the perfect Spoon cover choice, as far as I’m concerned — Brandon Flowers performed “Instant Karma!” and teamed up with Chris Stapleton and Sheryl Crow to take on “Don’t Let Me Down,” and Eric Church offered his version of “Mind Games.” The lineup for the event also included Aloe Blacc, Peter Frampton, JUANES, Kris Kristofferson, Pat Monahan of Train, Tom Morello, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Steven Tyler, and John Fogerty, and the entire cast came together in the finale for “All You Need Is Love.” Watch below.
