Love this album, nice work(and LOL at the beef jerkey pic) It's really a great album. It has a dated sound and some of the songs are overproduced IMO, but I enjoy it for what it is.

RE: Lennon & Elton at MSG 1974
After talking about I Know (I Know) recently, I gave it a listen. I forgot the "It's getting better all the time" line which I'd be pretty sure is a nod to the song from Sgt Pepper.

I love that song Surprise, Surprise.. just an awesome tune. Sweet! Sweet!.. Sweet! Sweet!.. Bird! that's a total nod to Drive My Car and to Paul, good call. John's done that a few times in his solo songs.. I have to think of them, some are really subtle... on Mind Games in I Know its basically the rythm from I've Got A Feeling.. and I think there's a lick in the song New York City that sounds like Back in the USSR.. need to listen again.. dcshark, at this clip I'm hearing I Feel Fine at about the 57-58 sec mark. am I right on that? it almost blends so well you wouldn't even notice it.. unless you're a complete Beatles nerd.. like us
I wouldn't say the rhythm of the whole song for "I Know (I Know) is like" I've Got a Feeling" but he throws in a very similar riff in the intro and in other parts of the song. That's a great song too, a lot of people forget about that one when discussing the public John-Paul feud of the early 70's. In addition to the couple you mentioned, John's "Going Down On Love" has a nod to "Help" in it as well.
