Video to die for: John Lennon duets with the greatest living violinist
mainRecognise him?
Ivry Gitlis & John Lennon by LTT
That’s Yoko bopping and wailing in the background.
The film is Rock and Roll Circus (1968).
The violinist is Ivry Gitlis. (Ivry gets everywhere.)
How come we’ve never seen this before?
Massive h/t to Roberta Cooper.
Sounds like Ivry’s playing Fritz Kreisler after having had a few drinks!
And that’s Keith Richards on bass, along with Eric Clapton.
The tune is appropriately called, “Whole Lotta Yoko.”

More appropriately, “Too Much Yoko…WAY too much Yoko”
Yoko is the best part of the music in this video
