Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music

Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music is a 2001 television program tribute to John Lennon aired on both TNT and The WB.

Originally planned to celebrate Lennon's accomplishments, the concert took place on October 2, 2001, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, shortly after the September 11 attacks and exactly one week before the 61st anniversary of Lennon's birth.
