“How Much I Miss Him” – Note
John Lennon and Elton John were good friends.
They performed a duet on Lennon’s 1974 hit “Whatever Gets You Thru the Night”, which the pair performed live at one of John’s concerts in the same year, together with two other songs.
As part of Elton’s 1982 “Jump Up!” tour, Elton John performed “Whatever Gets You Thru the Night” live at Madison Square Garden, with Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono and their son Sean in the audience. Elton is also John Lennon’s son’s (Sean’s) godfather.
now one of the greatest moments of my life
not only in just my musical life
but my personal life
was in this very building
in 1974
someone came on stage
and sang 3 songs with us
and I’d never heard a reception
in the whole of my life like it
it was 10 minutes
of the most deafening roar
and that person was very special
and of course you know
I am talking about John Lennon
so, I wanted to do
a very famous John Lennon song
because every time I play this building
I think of him
and how much I miss him
and how much he enriched all our lives
so this is a song called
“Come Together”
