“Cold Turkey” #30 1/17/1970

As he was in the process of departing the Beatles, John Lennon was trying to give up his addiction to heroin, as was Yoko. The song describes the physical and mental anguish involved. Eric Clapton was on guitar; he’d been asked to join the Plastic Ono Band full time but declined. Ringo pitched in on drums here. The editing and syncing of a live performance by John into the other footage is first rate.
