#OTD November 28, 1974 John performed on Elton John ‘s concert and Yoko came to the gig and when she saw John on the scene she started to cry.

#OTD, 1968, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins was released in the U.K.

Very misunderstood album - people never seem to realise it’s supposed to be interactive! Yoko said something around the release of Yes, I’m a Witch that the Unfinished Music was always meant to be finished by its listener, rather than just listened to. It’s even in the title

I’m happy to own this (and a few other Yoko albums, including Life with the Lions) in the wonderful Secretly Canadian vinyl reissues (@Sean and others did a brilliant job on them!). If anyone wants to buy a Yoko vinyl I very much recommend their reissues.
