Mother - John Lennon

John's first true solo album was 1970's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, which was made while he and Yoko were undergoing primal scream therapy under the direction of Dr. Arthur Janov. The effects of Janov's let-it-out theories were audible on songs like "Mother," a dark and disturbing paean to John’s lost parents. In the video, John Lennon performs Mother at Madison Square Gardens, New York (1972).
