About the Item

"John Lennon and Yoko Ono" photographed in front of the Dakota apartment in New York City in 1980 by Allan Tannenbaum, two weeks before Lennon's death. This framed photograph was previously displayed in a guest room at the original Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and comes with a certificate of authenticity and commemorative plaque to this effect. The image size is approximately 9 x 13 inches. The text to the right of the photo, which measures approximately 9 x 6 inches, reads: "Yoko Ono and John Lennon New York City 1980 Coming out of seclusion after five years, John Lennon and Yoko Oko agreed to be interviewed to promote their new album, 'Double Fantasy." One of the most powerful shots captured was the couple posing in front of the Dakota, the iconic building that has become a permanent part of the Lennon legend. The Dakota, located at the corner of 72nd Street and Central Park West, has been home to dozens of the world's elite entertainers including Leonard Bernstein, Roberta Flack, Boris Karloff, Gilda Radner, Rudolf Nureyev, Judy Garland & Lauren Bacall. It was also famous for denying residency to many notable people including Gene Simmons and Billy Joel. On December 8, 1989, two weeks after this photo was taken, John Lennon was shot on the doorstep of the Dakota. He was 40 years old when he was assassinated. While still a Beatle, Lennon was asked how he might die. Lennon ironically replied, 'I'll probably be popped off by some loony.' Photograph ©2009 by Allan Tannenbaum from the book 'New York in the 70s.'"

"The Beatles" framed black and white photograph by Lynn Goldsmith. Image size: 14 x 18 1/2inches. This photograph was previously displayed in a guest room of the original Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and comes with a certificate of authenticity and commemorative plaque to that effect. Lynn Goldsmith wrote about this image: "The Beatles were coming to Miami to the Deauville Hotel to perform live on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was February 13, 1964. I had turned 16 two days before. My stepfather was in the hotel business and arranged for me to be in the lobby for their arrival. Little did he know I thought the Beatles were too 'goodie-goodie.' I was a Rolling Stones fan. I didn’t want to disappoint him since he thought this would be momentous for me. Besides, I decided it might be worthwhile as I’d never seen the lobby carpet...

Located in Boca Raton, FL
"Sid Vicious Arrest" black and white photograph by Allan Tannenbaum. Image size: 9 x 13 inches. The text to the right of the photo reads: "Sid Vicious New York City 1978. At about 11 a.m. on October 12, 1978, the desk clerk at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City received a call from outside the hotel. A man, who did not identify himself, told the clerk, 'There's trouble in room 100.' The desk clerk called for an ambulance which arrived with a police escort. After the paramedics confirmed the woman was dead, police checked the room and found drugs and drug paraphernalia as well as a blood-stained Jaguar K-11 folding knife with a five-inch blade and a black jaguar carved into the handle. The couple had registered as Mr. and Mrs. John Ritchie, though they were not married. Simon John Ritchie was the man's real name, better known as Sid Vicious, punk superstar and former bass player for the infamous British band, The Sex Pistols. His deceased companion's name was Nancy Spungen. 'I stabbed her, but I didn't mean to kill her!' He was also heard muttering through his tears, 'She must have fallen...
