Top of the Pops

Recorded: 11th February 1970. Transmitted by: BBC1 Colour 12/Feb/1970 [Version One] & 19th February 1970 [Version Two]

(7:15pm-8pm) The first solo Beatle to perform on the long running British TV institution Top Of The Pops was John with a Plastic Ono Band comprising of Klaus Voorman (bass), Alan White (drums), the Irish journalist B.P. Fallon (Tambourine in version one, doubling up on bass on version two) and a blind-folded Yoko Ono (holding card instructions on version one, knitting on version two). For both versions (recorded for 2 separate shows) John sang a new vocal on top of the original recording. Beatles Roadie Mal Evans also joined the line-up for version two playing the tambourine. Version one was actually take 4 whilst version two was take 3.
