Description: On the “Watching the Wheels” single cover, John Lennon and Yoko Ono stand just outside their home at the Dakota, 1 West 72nd Street, the ornate arches and heavy stonework framing a strangely peaceful moment in late 1980. The image feels almost like a candid pause between eras: Lennon newly back from a five-year recording hiatus, talking about stepping off the merry-go-round as the city’s traffic and Central Park’s treetops hover just beyond the gate. Standing here today, you can trace the curve of the archway and the ironwork where their quiet domestic life met New York’s restless energy, a poignant contrast to the whirlwind that would follow only weeks after the single’s release. This is one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
