Reissues and Live Performance
Lennon and Ono performed the song with the band Elephant's Memory on The Dick Cavett Show in May 1972. Because of the controversial title, ABC asked Dick Cavett to apologise to the audience in advance for the song's content, otherwise the performance would not have been shown. In 2005, the interview and performance were released on DVD as part of The Dick Cavett Show: John & Yoko Collection.
An edited version of the song was included on the 1975 compilation album Shaved Fish. It was also included on Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon and the Gimme Some Truth box set.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performance:
“Now let us sing, Long live the king,
And Gilpin long live he;
And when he next doth ride abroad,
May I be there to see!”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
