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:
“To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.... To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge one’s vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
