1963

Scotland, perform at Caird Hall, Dundee, Tayside.

1967
Sid Bernstein, promoter for The Beatles' 1964 concerts at Carnegie
Hall in New York, offers The Beatles $1 million to perform another
concert. The Beatles turn down his offer.

1968
The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios,
London). A marathon recording session, beginning at 2:30 pm and
ending at 7:00 am. Recording George's "Long Long Long" (under the
working title "It's Been a Long Long Long Time"). Once again John
Lennon is not in the studio for the recording of a George Harrison
song. To record the basic track, Paul plays organ, Ringo drums,
and George acoustic guitar and vocal. The last and best take,
number 67, features the sound of a wine bottle rattling on top of a
Leslie speaker cabinet in vibration with a certain organ note.

[J] 1975
After a three and one-half year fight, John Lennon wins the right
to remain in the United States of America. A three-judge court of
appeals overturns the deportation order pending against Lennon.
They rule that Lennon's 1968 drug conviction in the UK was not in
accordance with US interpretation of due process, and that
therefore the conviction did not justify a deportation order. The
ruling noted that, "Lennon's four-year battle to remain in our
country is a testimony to his faith in [the] American dream." The
court further orders the Immigration and Naturalization Service to
reconsider Lennon's request for resident status.
