Musicians: John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Jerry Rubin, David Peel and the Lower East Side
John and Yoko are among a line-up of musicians performing at a benefit concert in the Chrysler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the radical activist John Sinclair, who had been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for attempting to sell two marijuana joints. Their acoustic performance includes: "Attica State" (which suffers badly from feedback), "The Luck Of The Irish", "Sisters O Sisters" and "John Sinclair" and is featured in the film of the event entitled Ten For Two, which is premiered in Ann Arbor during December 1972. A full American release will not take place until April 1, 1989, more than 17 years after the event. The John and Yoko produced film also features contributions from Bobby Searle, Allen Ginsberg, Jerry Rubin and David Dellinger. (Incidentally, Sinclair is released on December 13, three days after the concert.) The Detroit television station WTVS also covers John and Yoko's performance. Their uncut videotape footage runs to almost 19 minutes, four minutes longer than the official Ten For Two film version. Scenes where John's guitar string breaks prior to the start of "Luck Of The Irish" are consigned by the Lennons to the cutting room floor. The 1998 CD Box John Lennon: Anthology features both "Luck Of The Irish" and "John Sinclair" from this concert and the same songs are also on the 2004 CD John Lennon: Acoustic.
