Notes: A BBC film crew filmed John today in various locations in New York for potential use for a promo video of John`s new
single "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" to be shown exclusively on "Top of The Pops".For whatever reason the video never
eventuated but some of the footage was used in a short edited version of "#9 Dream" which was shown on "Top of The Pops" in early 1975.

Yoko also used some of that same footage for a 1992 promo of "Mind Games" but the majority of the raw footage was still
seemingly lost but out of the blue it all turned up again in the early 2000`s and was soon acquired by Yoko who then used 4
minutes of the reported 40 minutes of footage in a new version of the song "Mind Games" in 2003.

The footage starts at Beacon Theatre where John is filmed outside the theatre & inside on a piano.

The complete raw footage is in the hands of collectors.
