On 18 April, 1975, John Lennon made his last public appearance on the 
ATV/ITC TV special Salute to Sir Lew Grade. The television special was 
recorded in The Grand Ballroom of the New York Hilton Hotel. The event 
was a star-studded event to celebrate the career of Sir Lew Grade. John's 
appearance at this event, in which he performed live versions of Slippin' 
and Slidin', Stand By Me and Imagine, was part of a settlement arising 
from a publishing dispute over material written by John and Yoko.

John's bandmates, known as "Etc.", were costumed in two-faced masks during 
the performance. The "two-faced" stunt, and the line "... don't want to be 
your fool no more" (from "Slippin' and Slidin") were seen as digs at Grade, 
who Lennon and McCartney had been in conflict with due to his previous 
control of The Beatles publishing concerns. Dick James had sold the 
publishing to Grade from under the group in 1969. During "Imagine" Lennon 
interjects the line "... and no immigration too...", a reference to his 
then-unresolved battle to remain in the United States.

Sir Lew later became Lord Grade. He passed away at 91 on December 13, 1998.
