The John Lennon Live in NYC guitar strap is a replica of the strap Lennon wore on August 30, 1972 at NYC's Madison Square Garden, during the first and only full shows of his solo career. Accompanied by his wife Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory band, they raised money for a children's school and closed with a singalong of Give Peace A Chance, which spilled out onto the streets of Manhattan.
