A performance of Instant Karma delivered by John Lennon on Top of the Pops has one “annoying” part according to fans.The Beatles‘ songwriter went on to enjoy a series of successful solo album releases, as well as a few boundary-pushing avant-garde creations, too. His performance of Instant Karma on Top of the Pops not only marked the first time a Beatle had appeared on the show alone, but also provided fans with one of the best performances of the single, released in 1970. Phil Spector, who produced the song and went on to finish Let it Be for The Beatles, came out of retirement to finish the Lennon track. The Imagine and Walls and Bridges writer would go on to perform the track, which has one “annoying” portion in it.A post to the r/Beatles subreddit saw a fan share a video of the performance. They wrote: “John Lennon becomes the first solo Beatle to appear on Top of the Pops with Instant Karma on February 12, 1970.” Though the performance has been well received by listeners, there was one part of the song which stands out.One user wrote of the backing performers: “Is that Glyn Johns hitting the tambourine? Klaus Voorman on the bass sounding great.” The echo of their work, however, is “annoying” to one fan. They wrote: “Echo is all sort of annoying.”
