Other info: Released in 1992, this collection features the original promos for Lennon songs which have been changed to various degrees for the "Legend" DVD. In some cases, totally different videos, some had new footage inserted, and a couple were missing completely from that set ("I'm Steppin' Out" and "Grow Old With Me")
I would love to go track by track and explain the differences in each video, but I am far from being an expert. Some notable observations:
"Instant Karma" is a completely different version, this one taken from "Top Of The Pops" features Yoko holding up words and silently speaking them into a microphone.
"Happy Xmas" is also completely different, and far more enjoyable to watch than the war imagery version.
"Stand By Me" includes some rough editing towards the end, when John says hello to the folks back in the U.K.
"Woman" here features an alternate audio mix, at least for the intro.. as the phrase 'For the other half of the sky' has been amplified a great deal (probably in response to people asking what John said during the intro).
"Jealous Guy" includes some old Beatles footage.
Most, though not all videos feature a very brief Lennon interview audio clip over pictures and title cards. Yoko Ono hand-writes the title cards.
01: "Give Peace a Chance" - the rumpled bed with John and Yoko, and friends like "acid guru" Timothy Leary, Hare Krishna folks, and the unlikely appearance of Petula Clark amid the mayhem.
02: "Cold Turkey" - about John's attempt at kicking the heroin habit.
03: "Instant Karma" - lipsynched at the "Top of the Pops" TV program (a U.K. version of "American Bandstand"), while a blindfolded Yoko is doing some sort of performance with flashcards.
04: "Power to the People" - includes images from the Tiananmen Square uprising, which seems very out of place, since it happened 9 years after Lennon's death.
05: "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" - features some cute kids singing.
06: "Mind Games"
07: "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" - features some clever animation.
08: "No. 9 Dream"
09: "Stand by Me" (Ben E. King) - a recording studio performance of the wonderful Ben E. King number.
10: "Slippin' and Slidin'" (Penniman, Bocage, Collins, Smith) - rock & rollin' with some terrific musicians.
11: "Imagine" - John's best known song as a solo artist.
12: "(Just Like) Starting Over"
13: "Woman"
14: "Nobody Told Me" - features cameos by Jack Palance and talk show host Dick Cavett.
15: "Borrowed Time"
16: "I'm Steppin' Out"
17: "Jealous Guy" - has some clips of the early Beatles days.
18: "Grow Old With Me"
19: "Imagine" (live)
