It aired on 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 9/11, and exactly one week before the 61st anniversary of Lennon’s birth. It was dedicated to “New York City and its people” and presented as a fundraiser for the Robin Hood Foundation. The concert was named for Lennon’s Beatles song, “Come Together”.
Stone Temple Pilots performed “Revolution” live during Come Together: A Night for John Lennon’s Words and Music, a television special in tribute to Lennon that raised funds for victims of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. After their performance received significant radio airplay, the group recorded a studio version of the song, which was released as a single in November 2001. The song reached number 30 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
“Revolution” is a song by the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Two versions of the song were recorded in 1968: a hard rock version, released as the B-side of the “Hey Jude” single, and a slower, bluesier arrangement (titled “Revolution 1”) for the Beatles’ self-titled double album, commonly known as “the White Album”. Although the single version was issued first, it was recorded several weeks after “Revolution 1”, as a re-make specifically intended for release as a single. A third connected piece, written by Lennon, is the experimental track “Revolution 9”, based on the latter parts of the same performance that produced “Revolution 1”, and which also appears on the White Album.
Inspired by political protests in early 1968, Lennon’s lyrics expressed doubt in regard to some of the tactics. When the single version was released in August, the political left viewed it as betraying their cause. The release of the album version in November indicated Lennon’s uncertainty about destructive change, with the phrase “count me out” recorded differently as “count me out, in”. In 1987, the song became the first Beatles recording to be licensed for a television commercial, which prompted a lawsuit from the surviving members of the group. In the same year Nina Simone recorded her single “Revolution” with some structural similarities (some lyrics are also the same) to the Beatles’ song, but credited to her and Weldon Irvine.
When Stone Temple Pilots played the Beatles’ “Revolution”, it wasn’t intended as a call for retribution against Osama bin Laden. “We actually chose the song a month-and-a-half earlier while we were touring Europe,” singer Scott Weiland said the night of the event. “Our real decision for picking ‘Revolution’ was simply because it rocks.” Indeed, it does. Stone Temple Pilots’ cover was so incendiary that radio stations across the nation have put the benefit-night recording in heavy rotation, and a video is being played on various music television stations. Now the band has recorded a studio version of the song, which will be released as an enhanced CD single on November 27. The track was recorded in New York, produced by the band and mixed by Jack Joseph Puig (Black Crowes, Collective Soul).
The disc will include behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the track. All royalties and sales profits will be donated to the Twin Towers Fund, which provides assistance to the families of those who died in the World Trade Center attack. Stone Temple Pilots was headlining the Family Values tour, which stops in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The tour ended November 17 in Tacoma, Washington.
